It's been so many years since I've had the opportunity to visit this restaurant but from my memory, this place have really good food! Good location, always crowded though. It's a quaint little place with outdoor seating as well. The staff was always polite.

I can't quite remember the appetizer I use to get but I think it was some sort of chicken wrapped in bacon. The taste was very, very nice. The main course again was always a chicken dish with plaintains. My gosh the portions are rather large as well. You could really share if you wanted to.

I would go back without a doubt! I remember driving at least 23 mins with no traffic just to go have lunch or dinner here. Oh I must say that parking kind of suck. Well worth it though. :)

I've been here so many times when I visit LA with my friends. Staff are always welcoming and helpful even when you don't have a table booked. The atmophere here is always lively and full of people dining and drinking. I had the fried plantains and they were amazing and so tasty I wanted more. They also do take out and delivery. It's a tremendous place and it can do no wrong.

Rafael's pasta has been my favourite meal of all time for over a decade. I wish I lived closer to LA for Bossa Nova only!
The cheese bread is also amazing. I will fly back to LA just to go back again.

My boyfriend and I went there in a Saturday night without reservation and it took only 5 min to get a table.
The waiter was extremely friendly and efficient.
I had file a cavalo and my boyfriend had chicken parmigiana. Both of the dishes were delicious and authentic Brazilian!
Tip: if you are not too hungry, it might be a good idea share the plate. The portions are giant!

We went for dinner one night while our visit in LA.
Staff are very friendly, but the food is nothing special. Typical Italian style with a twist of the house. Good food in general!

Nothing gave me impression to be excellent with a woow factor! . Food was good, but as any other place can be, that's why I rate it as "Average".

We didn't drive to this restaurant. So I don't know how it is to park up around that area.

Price: it is very affordable!!

I hope this helps
