"I still remember when this place was located on the other side of the street, on a corner and could seat maybe 6 people. I've grown up on this food and it is my number 1 suggestion when people ask me for Brazilian food recommendations in the area. It is not what comes to mind when the average non-Brazilian thinks of Brazilian food, but it's a beautiful repre..." Read more

"Simply the best moqueca I have had since I left Brazil. My girlfriend is from Porto Alegre, and I have now started a household-wide conflict by claiming that the moqueca here in Cambridge was just as good as her mom's recipe... I regret NOTHING! Impeccable juices. Cheerful and attentive service. My heart goes out to the owners for not being allowed to carry..." Read more

"Very nice neighborhood spot.  Unpresumptuous, and the food is good and fast.  As a slightly older restaurant, some of décor sports remnant of what may have been hip a few decades ago, but I don't think this is for the sort of individual that needs the sort of place that boasts the wood-trim-and-white tile setup."

"This is a wonderful place for dinner in the area! I highly recommend the lasagna de banana, at least to share. It's cheesy and sweet, crunchy and cheesy, and it's almost like a dessert.

The service is relatively attentive, and I enjoy the outdoor space they they open up when it's warmer and dry outside."

"Tudo muito bom!! Great, authentic Brazilian cuisine. You get the bang for your buck in terms of quality and quantity of food. It is a small place that does not take reservations but I've gotten lucky and find seating pretty quickly. It is on a main road but there is plenty of meter parking nearby."

"We ordered the moqueca de peixe (fish) and moqueca de peixe com camarão (fish and shrimp). The fish dish comes with a fish dipping sauce, and the fish and shrimp version comes with potatoes. Everything was served in a separate clay pot. They also came with a scoop of rice each and some powdered yucca as a topping.   I really enjoyed this, and althoug..." Read more

"An unassuming restaurant at the end of Inman Square stretch of shops and restaurants. Named after their clay pot soup, the restaurant was warm and inviting. Operated by friendly staff, the restaurant was decorated with an assortment of warm feeling colors and wood giving it a homey feel. The seats were full at 830pm and we had to wait 15 minutes to get a tab..." Read more
