Aquinta se spécialise dans la cuisine portugaise authentique, mettant l'accent sur les spécialités grillées au charbon de bois et les préparations de fruits de mer frais. Le menu propose des plats traditionnels centrés sur des protéines saisies à la flamme et assaisonnées d'aromates méditerranéens robustes. La clientèle découvre une sélection culinaire privilégiant le poisson de l'Atlantique de qualité supérieure ainsi que des plats de volaille expertement préparés sur un gril ouvert. Les méthodes de préparation privilégient les saveurs naturelles des ingrédients grâce à des techniques de cuisson à la chaleur typiques des traditions culinaires côtières portugaises. Chaque assiette reflète un engagement envers les profils de saveurs classiques, évitant la complexité inutile pour privilégier la franchise et la puissance gustative. L'atmosphère intérieure s'harmonise avec cette approche culinaire, offrant un environnement fonctionnel axé sur la gastronomie portugaise.

2022: Bustling restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Menu has lots of options. I went for the chicken & ribs combo & was highly impressed by the meal. Their piri piri sauce is spot on. Service was friendly also.
2026 Update: Since trying this place years ago, I've ordered delivery a couple times & returned with a friend to take him here for his birthday. Every experience has been fantastic. The quantity & quality Aquinta presents you for the price is fabulous & the service is consistently great. Upgraded to 5 stars for the consistency.
Food is sooo delicious! Especially for us, latinos, who crave for a good home-like steak with fries & salad this is the place. There are other nice options, too. You'll find seafood dishes, soups & traditional Portuguese dishes & desserts. Try the natas, they are the specialty of the house. Delicioux!!. Very friendly service, good prices & a cozy, local atmosphere. My only observation would be that, specially next to the kitchens, the place is hot & in summer that might affect some. A plus is that they have free Wifi. Prices rank in a good range: Steak was 28 ( with taxes), the Virgin Mai Thai 7.50( w/t) & the natas 3 ( w/t). Really, really good.

The food is good, & the prices are reasonable. Unfortunately, the management & customer service are another story.
I arrived hoping to sit on the terrace & stood there waiting for several minutes. Staff walked by without even acknowledging me. It honestly felt like I was begging to be served. I was so close to leaving, but I stayed because my friend was already on his way to meet me.
Good food can bring customers in once, but good service is what keeps them coming back. A simple greeting & a little attention would have made a huge difference.
It was pretty good, but still not my favorite portuguese place around. They had very mild'spicy' sauce, the fries were a little bland, & some chicken pieces were a bit too burnt to be a 5 star place for me. The pastel de nata is solid flavor wise but really lacks in crispyness too. I have to say though, portion is huge for the price. Definitely a good bang for your buck!
Great cozy place, good service, nice food nice vibe. They even offer their homegrown grapes. The food portion is very generous for the price. One of those rare places that has charcoal grilled octopus. Very decent price overall for food & drinks.
We went back recently in March 2024 & the place is popular as usual. They now have 2 services hours 6pm or 8pm. It's strongly recommended to reserve in advance even for 2, & expect slow service due to the busyness. Food still good & our server was nice.
