"As a brazilian living abroad is always nice to find a brazilian restaurant when missing home.One of the problems I usually find is to reproduce the quality, richness and variety of a brazilian restaurant abroad, due to the difficulty to fine products.This place may not be as good as a brazilian restaurant set in Brazil, but for a place trying..."

"I come here primarily for the muqueca - seafood stewed with generous portions of tomatoes and onions. I have had all the different combinations of mussel, shrimp, fish and I was never disappointed. This is an absolute must-have comfort food for the long cold winter days of Boston. The stew is served piping hot in a clay(?) pot, and is very yummy eaten with t..." Read more

"The best Brazilian food in Boston.  I've had a few of the entrees and the chicken stroganoff, which was very tasty.  Not a great wine list, but the food is what will bring you back here anyways."

"Found this place through Yelp when looking for a place to grab lunch. Was in a hurry and the one waitress was extremely slow so when she finally came by I ordered the fish and chips since I didnt have time to ask questions about what the menu items were. They were ok..nothing special. The other 3 people I was with ordered the chicken salad and 2 other fishy..." Read more

"Just went there for the first time, and it was amazing!! I had the Shrimp Muqueca and it was really good! Almost ate the entire dish by myself! My husband had the Feijoada Completa, which he really liked as well. I didn't really like it, maybe because I'm not a huge fan of black beans. Skip the desserts, I had the chocolate flan, which wasn't really good. Go..." Read more

"I went there twice - in 2010 and recently, in 2011. Both times the food was very good and very unusual for me. I had a seafood muqueca and really enjoyed the variety of fish in it: shrimp, fish, and mussels. The waiter from the second visit was Russian, so we got to chat a bit :)The only "bad" thing about this place - both times we had to wai..." Read more

"OMG So Good! Authenitic Brazilian food! I'm in love with their seafood stew, it's perfect. I've had to wait a while, the last two times I went there but it's always so worth, it... I just grab a Nova Schin from the bar (which has like, 4 seats) but I can't complain about this place at all. The food is awesome and so is the staff :)"

"Quite possibly my favorite restaurant in the Boston area. I always bring my friends visiting from out-of-town here. Their food is amazing, their smoothies are great and it's a good deal for the quality of seafood they are serving."
