Casa Portugal

There's a reason this neighborhood gem is the oldest Portuguese restaurant in the city: For almost 30 years, it's been dishing out tasty Portuguese dishes with friendly service in a colorful setting. Brightly patterned pottery overlooks an intimate room that, on any given night, might play host to a youth soccer team or an Azorean family reunion. The attentive servers will go out of their way to point out affordable, delicious native wines, and are happy to recommend their own favorites from the kitchen, including succulent chouriço sausages that come sizzling to your table and seafood dishes that sing in a lemony garlic broth.
