Oliveria's Brazilian Restaurant Everett
On Friday
December 9th our Secret Critic visited Oliveria's Brazilian Restaurant located at 749 Broadway in Everett and ordered
the Brazilian Rodizio. Rodizio is a style of restaurant service in Brazilian restaurants. One pays a fixed price
and the waiters bring an offering of food to each customer at several times throughout the meal, until the customers signify
that they have had enough. In churrascarias (Brazilian Steakhouse), servers come to the table with knives and a skewer, on
which are speared various kinds of meat, most commonly local cuts of beef, pork, or chicken. The surroundings were pleasant
and the service was fantastic and the experience was a bit exiting to be there as well. A full bar off to the side on the
restaurant made for a quiet place for romantic conversation a night cap. Boston News Group Critic gave Oliveria's a thumbs
up!
Atasca Restaurant Cambridge
On
Friday Dec 16th our Secret Food Critic visited Atasca Restaurant located at 50 Hampshire Street in Cambridge. We started out
with some Portuguese Port Wine and salads. For the entree we ordered the Bacalhau a Lagareiro com Batatas a Morro Charcoal
grilled dry salt cod, drizzled with hot olive oil and garlic, served with punched potatoes and grilled peppers and onions
and an order of Cataplana Clams, mussels and shrimp, steamed in a cataplana (copper steamer), with onions,
red peppers, prosciutto and linguica served with jasmine rice all cooked to perfection. With the wine garden syle entrance
and decor of old Portugal, made it to be a very comfortable evening. Service was great, food was delicious and pricing was
