Nova Europa Restaurant

We had a family birthday dinner here and really enjoyed the restaurant for all that it had to offer! Manuel was warm and receptive, with plenty stories to share, and provided wonderful dinner recommendations. We had the sardines, asado flambé, and fried calamari. For dinner we had the lamb rack, grilled octopus, portuguese steak, and the seafood nova europa. The food genuinely very well prepared in a homestyle manner and you could tell Manuel took a lot passion and joy in his work. We can’t wait to visit again!! Highly recommend the restaurant.

This place is tucked away in a plaza. I had been meaning to go for a while. Finally made it for a Thursday lunch. The place has a beautiful old world ambience. We were greeted warmly by Manuel who has been working here for 40 years. He is the host and the chef. He recommended the grilled octopus and rack of lamb. The food was delicious- meat was tender and perfectly grilled. The veggies are perfectly cooked. The service was on point. We will be back for sure!!

Eating at Nova Europa is an amazing experience that truly makes you feel like being in Europe. From the great ambiente and being greeted by Manuel - who has been here for over 40 years and feels so passionate about this place - to the delicious mix of Portuguese, French, and Italian cuisine, this restaurant offers what I have not yet found anywhere else in the USA. It is a great place for couples and families to come and be taken on a memorable culinary journey.

Charming ambiance, delicious food, friendly service! We were so lucky to find Nova Europa last year after an evening at the nearby Brookside Gardens - a hidden gem, it’s been open for 40 years! Portuguese food with a broader Euro-American flair. Our waiter Manuel was the original chef and now devotes himself to taking care of his guests. We’ve sampled the steaks, fish, appetizers, and pasta - all amazing old world quality. The Portuguese wines are earthy and tasty. Great prices too! And of course the desserts - limoncello cake, mousse, and if you ask nicely, maybe they will have some mouth-watering custard pastel de nata in the kitchen. A must-visit - obrigado!

I celebrated my 5th wedding anniversary here. This was our first time and we had an amazing time. The original chef Manuel was our server and his hospitality was above and beyond. The food was great and had good portion size. I would definitely recommend for a romantic dinner outing, or spending time with family and friends.

Manuel was our server, the food was amazing! my wife and I came for our 5th year anniversary and don't regret our decision in coming here at all. I highly recommend the steak Portuguesa. And the baked Alaska for two. Manuel has a long history with the restaurant and has a great story to tell. 10/10 we will be back soon.
