“My brazilian friend took me to this cute spot in the West Village! The food and drinks were delicious! I had the Moqueca and the cashew juice!!! Our server Dino was also very friendly and informative! Highly recommend for authentic Brazilian feels here!!”
“Everything we tasted here was an Experience. So delicious and thoughtful! Dino was the best server, ask to sit in his section! He had great wine and food recommendations for our tastes. The food was so fresh and wonderful that I forgot to even take pictures of it. Just trust, and order the Pão de alho”
“Last night we had an absolutely incredible experience at this Brazilian restaurant. From the very first moment, everything felt special. I had a quentão drink that was simply amazing — warm, flavorful, and perfectly comforting. We ordered coxinha, bobó de camarão, and a mandioquinha purée, and every single dish was delicious and authentic. To finish, we had banoffee for dessert, which was the perfect sweet ending. It truly felt like being transported back to Brazil — a warm hug to the heart. The service was also excellent; the staff were so kind, attentive, and welcoming. Best Brazilian restaurant in NYC. I highly recommend this place. Can’t wait to come back!”
“Amazing food! I have an aunt from Bahia, Brazil, and eating here felt like traveling from New York to Brazil in just one second. Authentic flavors, full of soul and tradition. The service was outstanding — [Amanda] made the whole experience truly top and unforgettable. Thank you so much, I’ll definitely be back!”
“It was my first time here! The staff were amazing and very helpful. The food was great, though my Feijoada was a bit too salty for my taste. The caipirinhas were outstanding highly recommend them. The restaurant is small, but it works well, just be sure to make a reservation. If you love Brazilian food, this place won’t disappoint.”
