PortuCale Restaurant & Bar

Went with my wife and sister on a recommendation from a friend after picking my sister up at Newark airport. 14 minute drive from the terminal. Not located on the main drag. Parking was available off street around the corner. Walking to and from for a block and a half was safe and easy. The dining area in the front is not large. It feels like a cozy neighborhood place. Mario took great care of us. The Octopus and Clam appetizers were delicious, as were our entrees. Nice selection of wines. The locals at the tables nearby were very friendly and we shared a story or two of visiting Portugal. There is a bar area in the back which was pretty full on a Friday night. Accommodated my wife and sister's gluten allergies very well. Thanks Mario and Portucale for a lovely dinner! Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free Friendly Parking: Very little parking at the restaurant, but there is a lot around the corner with about ten or twelve spaces. There is a sign indicating it is for Portucale parking

Muy buen servicio..

Awful place. The food quality is nearly nonexistent. They redid my filet mignon twice and still didn't get it right. I ordered it 'medium' temperature, but the first time it was way overcooked, and the second attempt was just below rare. The chocolate cake dessert had a strong taste of alcohol, and it was ordered for a child. The service is slow, and the staff is unfriendly. One of the servers took a 'break' while serving our table. Don't waste your time and money going to that place!

Great food , fantastic service, affordable price, clean and great ambience. A plus , come back again and again.

Fantastic - the appetizer platter was a great dinner by itself. Friendly and helpful staff.

Expired tomatoes, soggy desserts, flavorless tomatoes and absolutely basic food for the rest of the dishes.

Very good good for a decent price. Nice restaurant for the area.

Delicious and fresh food...the attendants too professionals , friendly atmosphere, suggest visit this place to go with family or friends... Parking: at least 15 parking Spot available
