What a great family-owned Portuguese place! We had the pleasure of interacting with the owner's son, & I truly can't say enough good things about the service, the food, the atmosphere, the location, & the overall restaurant. We ordered the mixed platter, along with appetizers, wine, & dessert-everything was excellent! This spot is a definite repeat for us. Highly recommend! A++++++

J'adore ce restaurant de quartier. Nous y allons souvent & nous prenons toujours l'assiette de pieuvre & l'assiette de poisson! C'est toujours excellent & l'ambiance est geniale. Les serveurs sont très aimable & la musique est vraiment bonne. Je recommande assurément.

If you enjoy grilled octopus, you must go to Aquinta. The food is all amazing, & the owner, the staff, awesome.
You may have to wait for a table a little, because it always gets busy, but it's absolutely worth it . I wait, when I don't reserve on line cause I know I'm gonna enjoy my food.
I definately recommend for Grilled Portugese food.

The food is very tasty, & the chicken is absolutely delicious. The customer service is also very good.

A small issue was the Aperol Spritz, which was quite disappointing, but that does not take away from the quality of the food.
I wouldn't recommend that particular drink.

We were seated outside, & some customers nearby were smoking marijuana with a vape pen, which was a little bothersome, at least for me.

Other than that, everything was great.

Le service était extrêmement sympathique & attentionné. La nourriture était excellente & les portions très généreuses. Les prix sont plus que raisonnables pour la quantité & la qualité offertes. Nous recommandons ce resto :)
