There is a good reputation preceding this place. We had heard of O Dinis long before but never had the chance to get over there. Finally got to go with visiting family and it lived up to the hype. It’s kind of a smaller dining...room so go early. We went around 3:00-3:30 on a Friday. The service is very good and we enjoyed those who waited on us. We had a party of 6 and were seated right away. Not much parking so go down S Spruce Street to park on the road. They have good specials each day. We orders the smelt and the octopus stew. We also ordered the classic salted cod with potatoes. Listen, all three of these dishes were a good size and had excellent flavor. The ingredients are fresh and bright and you can tell the olive oil, garlic, onions, and potatoes are good quality and perfectly seasoned in that traditional Portuguese way. The octopus was some of the best I’ve ever had. It was meaty and not chewy at all, perfectly cooked. We ended with the grandmas pudding which is light and not too sweet. All considered, it was an excellent cultural/culinary experience and this is the new go to for Portuguese dishes.More

The absolute best Portuguese food in New England. This food reminds me of my Avos cooking like no other. The authenticity of every meal I've gotten here does not compare. From the chicken to the steak to the fish to the octopus!! you will not...find a better dish - thank you to the Odinis family for reminding me of a home cooked Portuguese meal every time. Your wait staff is always attentive and fun - I couldn't ask for a better restaurant, my family will forever come to odinis!! Bife a casa and the blackberry brandy are my absolute go tos! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!More

Not sure if they ever had table service, ordered take out during Covid. Bring new to the area it was a solid YEA after trying it. Lots of Portuguese options but the steak regional here was particularly good.

We saw this Portuguese restaurant featured on Bizarre Foods and thought we’d try their authentic salted cod dish. We were not sorry. The cod was flavorful (watch out for the bones!) and charred perfectly. The potatoes were buttery and the sweet sautéed onions and garlic...were the perfect foil to the salty, crispy fish. It was topped with some spicy peppers that added some zing. We were surprised that the food stayed nice and hot when we got home to EG, but it didn’t need to be reheated at all. The portion was enormous, so I saved half for the next day. The hubby polished off his entire dinner. We’ll definitely go back when they’re able to open for dining in.More

Stopped in for dinner with daughter, her boyfriend, wife and I. Place was packed but got a table with just a short wait. Was seated next to the bar. Because place was packed it was very noisy with all the guests talking. Started with the...grilled chorizo also the little necks in white wine. Chorizo was ok, just a bit too charred for me. Charring was about a quarter of a inch into the sausage, still tasty. The little necks was tender and plump. Wife and future son in law both had the Portuguese steak. Topped with a slightly over cooked egg. Steak was tender and sauce was just ok. Served with rice and bought shoe string fries. I think they should have served it with hand cut potatoes, just my opinion. Daughter and I really wanted the grilled salt cod as shown on Andrew Zimmerman delicious destination, but was sold out due to lent. So we had the grilled halibut. Nicely grilled, flaky and mild flavor. Could have used a bit more seasoning but still good. Served with rice and salad. Had dessert afterwards. Waitstaff brought over a sample to look. Two came in plastic containers that you will see at the supermarket bakery section. Food wise overall was okay to good. Service is very slow. Seems like two waitresses and three runners that brought food to the tables and cleared tables. Kitchen was slow also in cooking the food, as observed with other tables also.More

My husband and I go often, I’m not Portuguese, he is, but, they have the best chicken alenjiana and Portuguese soup around, by far!!! The flavors are amazing. I literally have cravings for this place and must go every couple of weeks! The atmosphere is...old world and the staff is amazing, extremely friendly and very efficient. You won’t be sorry!More

The food is excellent, prices are even better. The staff is fabulous, but be prepared to wait as this food is made fresh to order. We go or do take out at least twice a month. I would recommend to everyone

The food, waitstaff and environment is beyond amazing. No matter what you try it will be delicious. We had the spanish style little necks, fish filets with shrimp sauce and shrimp Mozambique my husband was so happy with our choice of food today

Small place. Loud atmosphere. But the food is good. Good Portuguese food but dont expect anything fancy. Small , so get there early!

My husband was craving his favorite dish "Pork Alentjana " so he picked up an order on a Friday night and we had it at home. This is a marinated pork dish consisting of cubes of pork, cubes of potatoes, Portuguese marinade that has been...simmered like a stew. It is topped with a few cherry stone clams. It is usually tender and the meat falls apart when you put your fork into it. The restaurant was very busy when he picked it up. The meat was on the tough side and the dinner was disappointing. We usually frequent this restaurant earlier in the week. Maybe this was why the meal was not up to par. I 'm sure if he had brought it back they would have replaced it or traded it for something else. It had been a long day and while not as good as usual we did eat the dinner.More

Great sea food restaurant which is half the price of Sal slightly further down the coast. We had clams and a grilled sea bream. Service was excellent.

Third trip to O Dinis and consistently excellent every time. Went here with my wife, four kids, and parents. While wait was 45 minutes, it is absolutely worth it. The little necks in garlic sauce is a great way to kick off the dinner. The...daily specials are phenomenal: today had a braised pork chop braised in red wine. The deserts and coffee cap off any meal here spectacularly. In short, a great traditional Portuguese meal.More
