Absolutely loved our experience at this authentic Portuguese restaurant! The food was incredibly fresh and flavorful, and Fatima’s service was outstanding—warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. We can’t wait to go back. Compliments to the chef!!

Place doesn’t reflect a typical Portugués restaurant, a very casual atmosphere with no alcohol to be served. Garlic Shrimp with rice had no taste of garlic whatsoever. Bread was measured 1 per person, ordered a steak with fries and Ketchup wasn’t offered. I feel this establishment has relied on take out for people that don’t really know what portugués cooking is really like. This was my wife and my first and will be the last time, I wish the proprietors luck .

Wonderful family-friendly café with an amazing owner! Thank you so much for the delicious Portuguese food, warm conversation, and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommended! The portions are generous and perfect for sharing between two people. 🥰

Tried for the first time and loved it. The spicy chicken was my first time trying it and it was amazing. Huge shoutout to the owner, John, who shared the history behind the dish—made the experience feel really special. Definitely coming back.

Couldn’t decide what to have for dinner. Hadn’t been to Otilia’s in a while, ordered take out many times but not sit down. Felt it was time, let me tel you, IT WAS AMAZING! Nice quiet place, had shrimp in garlic appetizer and went through 2 rolls of. Read just dipping in the garlic sauce. Then decided to try their ‘Bacalhau a Murro’ I thought I was back in Portugal how delicious it was, potatoes baked perfectly and hardly any bones in my piece. A great spur of the moment decision. I’ll be back more times. Highly recommended.
