All I can say is I always give a place second chances and again was not happy. The staff is great friendly. I went with my nephew who couldn't eat his steak because it was spicy. I prefer an American steak house or other Portuguese restaurant because of the quality of the meat. They had an option to upgrade to a thick steak. It was the same cut as the pounded thin meat. On top of being chewy like gum never in my life have I had a steak sauce with so much oil. Leaving the restaurant I noticed a couple eating chicken Mozambique and carne alentjana and their plates were also greasy

The owner/chef (?) came to the table asking if there was anything else we might enjoy. Fabulous service. While the deco is truly retro from when first opened in the 1970s, ( but very clean) the food is why I go! Our party had eggplant parm, scrod, smelts in special sauce, & shrimp Mozambique. The sauce for smelts does have a bite to it if you have issues with spicy foods). We left with many leftovers to enjoy another day. Their luncheon menu is very reasonably priced and ample portions.

Wow! This place is amazing!…read more The service makes me feel like I'm over at a friend's house... a friend whose parents happen to make the best Italian food. A few favorites - fried smelts for an app. My little one barely shared with us the first time we went. We asked for the sauce on the side. I don't know what is in it, but I could practically drink it. - The Godfather. You can't go wrong with this platter. The surprise was the eggplant parm. It was so delicate and flavorful! There are few places we can go with a kid and feel like the space is a treat for the parents and still great for the kids! It's nothing fancy - again, the ambiance its very much like being over at a friend's home... you'll leave with a full belly and a happy heart!

When dining in I'd highly recommend trying the steamed littlenecks--once you finish the clams, keep the sauce for dipping the complementary bread in! Bife A Case is my family's go-to entree, always ordered medium rare and with round potato fries. I'm sure you can't go wrong with any other entrees, but the opportunity cost is too high for me to try them--we eat here about once a month, and the order's always 4x Bife A Casa plus a couple apps. There's no bar seating, but they do serve alcohol including a number of red and white wines, and a few specialty cocktails.

The Providence location has a market as well with chips, sodas, spices, and frozen items for purchase. You can also buy fresh seafood like crabs or fish in the market. They have several menu items. I always get the half chicken with fries. It's topped with a delicious hot sauce, garlic, cilantro, and banana peppers. The chicken is flavorful and juicy. There is nothing like it around! The fries are seasoned perfectly. I tried the fried tilapia fish for the first time tonight and it was perfectly cooked and came with a white sauce, cabbage, cilantro, and banana peppers but the chicken is still my favorite. They did a great job on the renovation in Providence and the place looks brand new. You can tell the layout was thoughtfully designed. A great family fun restaurant. Love seeing the business grow!

There were 3 tables celebrating birthdays. The wonderful atmosphere, good vibes, great delicious food, and awesome service all came together in perfect harmony. Your meal comes with a large house salad and bread which I greatly appreciated. We started off with the Mozambique Shrimp appetizer which is a savory, garlicky, and mildly spicy sauce. It is traditionally made by simmering butter, olive oil, copious amounts of garlic, onion, white wine, and Sazón seasoning often with saffron or annatto, finished with hot sauce or peri-peri sauce. ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING! For my meal, I ordered the Bitoque which is a classic, hearty Portuguese dish featuring a medium fried steak topped with a runny fried egg, served with chips, and vegetable rice, all tied together with a flavorful butter, wine, and garlic sauce. I was told it's a popular Portuguese comfort food. For dessert, I ordered my favorite Tiramisu! Light, spongy, not too sweet and the perfect combo of Expresso coffee-soaked lady fingers, creamy mascarpone, cocoa powder dusting, and whipped cream! Food: 5/5 Service:5/5 Prices: 5/5(My company paid) Parking 5/5 I highly recommend!
