This was my first time visiting Bossa Nova since it’s just down the street from me, and overall, it was a good experience. The presentation of the restaurant is really nice, and one of the best features is the bakery display inside, it definitely catches your eye and adds to the atmosphere.
The food options are varied and reasonably priced for the most part, which I appreciated. As someone who considers myself a bit of a pasta connoisseur, I tend to judge a place by its mac & cheese. Unfortunately, the mac & cheese here was just okay. The sauce tasted like it was made with pre-curdled cheese rather than a smooth, from-scratch cheese sauce, which made it less impressive than I’d hoped.
On a more positive note, the chipotle chicken was really good, I loved the addition of the crispy fried chips, which added great texture. The chicken fingers were also well prepared and nicely cooked. I just wish they offered marinara sauce or a house-made special sauce to go with the chicken fingers instead of only blue cheese or hot sauce.
Overall, it was a solid first visit. I plan to come back and try more items from the menu, as I’m curious to see what else they have to offer.

I’d been wanting to check this place out for a while, and I finally went with some friends. They even have a little store inside. I ordered feijoada, the most popular dish in Brazil, and it was really good. Their cheese bread, pão de queijo, was amazing too—I bought some to take home. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were super nice. I definitely want to come back with other friends I want to introduce to this restaurant.

The food was excellent. The service was also. Atmosphere was just all right. Probably due to big family party with small children at the next table. First time here. Only thing holding me back from coming again would be the parking situation. Not good at all.!!

I’ve tried countless pasta dishes, and they’ve often been disappointing either under seasoned or lacking the right balance of meat and pasta. However, this dish was exceptional. This is by far the best chipotle pasta I’ve ever had. Excellent work, chef. I will definitely be returning for more.

Our waiter Derek was amazing, he made sure we had entry thing we needed several times during our dinner. The food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait very long. I’ve been here maybe 5 times and have had a great experience every time.

The food here was awesome and there were plenty of diverse choices, I would come here again to try there other foods. I got a burger, and I’ll say it was very tasty and the fries were some of the best. This place is a should come.

Absolutely loved my experience at Bossa Nova! The food was phenomenal from start to finish. We started with the avocado toast, which is always exquisite and perfectly prepared. Then came the blue cheese salad with spicy chicken — truly scrumptious, full of flavor and just the right amount of heat.
For our main course, we shared the shrimp alfredo, and wow… the sauce, the shrimp, everything was cooked to perfection. Rich, creamy, and so satisfying. We ended the night with the chocolate carrot cake topped with ice cream — YUMMY is an understatement!
What made the evening even better was our server, Derek. He was phenomenal — attentive, friendly, and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I came with one of my girlfriends and we had such a great time. Amazing food, wonderful service, and a beautiful atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!

Oh wow… this was seriously the best seafood pasta I’ve had in the entire U.S. — no joke! The flavors were just perfect, and the seafood tasted super fresh. Every single thing we ordered was insanely good. I couldn’t stop saying “mmmmm” after every bite
And the service? Absolutely amazing. So friendly, warm, and just made the whole experience even better. I already want to go back!

While I understand that rising costs are affecting the restaurant industry overall, my experience at this establishment fell significantly below expectations.
The steak dish I ordered showed clear execution issues. The meat was overcooked, with signs of burning that resulted in a bitter taste and dry texture. The seasoning was unbalanced, and the overall flavor profile did not meet the standard expected for the price charged.
Presentation was also disappointing. The plating lacked care and refinement, which directly impacts the perceived quality of the dish.
In terms of service, there was a noticeable delay after we were seated, along with a general sense of disorganization. The lack of attentiveness and coordination further diminished the overall experience.
Considering the combined factors — food quality, presentation, and service — the experience was unsatisfactory and did not justify the cost. Unfortunately, I would not return.
