I had no idea this lil gem even existed. It's nestled in the basement beneath a hall in quiet neighborhood in EP. Blink and you will miss it. The menu is small, and there aren't any descriptions, only the Portuguese and English names of the dish. The waiters can elaborate on anything that may be confusing. I get the vibe that everyone is from the community and they genuinely want you to love their food. I ordered the marinated pork with littlenecks. HOLY CRAP. I had no idea that you'd get this much food heaping on one plate. It was ridiculous. I don't even pretend to know the spices they used, but it was a magical combination. Frickin magical. Other deets: calamari for a starter was flavorful, but a tad too overdone for my liking. Totally forgivable. I was unsure of my beverage choice, so they let me sample the Portuguese wine. Always a bonus. I settled on a gin & tonic, there was a nice selection of gins, and a perfect pour. After dinner cafe? Yes please! They call it a bika (sp?) and it's a nice strong espresso. I wish I had room for dessert, but I was taking home at least 2 meal's worth of leftovers from my dinner. In closing, this little treasure of Portuguese deliciousness gets my vote. Quality service, excellent food, and tradition come together for a great experience.

What a great find thanks to Yelp! Authentic Portuguese food at amazing price! Bottles of wine at $12-15! Fresh seafood specials at great prices and they are delicious! We had the whole grilled black bass and fried haddock as our courses and the little necks as appetitizwrs. The food was great. Don't forget dessert!

Hands down the best Portuguese restaurant in East Providence. You can't go wrong with any dish. The restaurant itself is very small, but this shouldn't be a problem since the food is so good. Highly recommend the Bitoque and the Carne Alentejana.

What a great place. The ambiance is strictly social club basement, but the food is wonderful and the prices are great!

I've waited a long time to try out this place, as I heard quite a good amount of praise from food enthusiasts and yelp elitists. However, I am afraid that my high expectation may have harmed my overall experience. The initial entrance was everything I've ever wanted in a mom-pop restaurant; the tables and chairs were set in the basement, giving it an almost underground Church vibe. My friends and I definitely felt very out of place, with almost everyone of the patrons enjoying their tasty meals, with me unable to understand a word people were saying. The service was terrific and friendly, however, what really saddened me was the quality of the meals. I had the whole grilled red snapper fish special, which I was really excited for, but it was just too salty for my tastebuds. I tried the daily soup, which was actually amazing and felt so deliciously homemade. The grilled chicken and the steak were both wonderfully portioned for the price, but overcooked for both. Food: 3 stars Price: 4 stars Ambiance: 3.5 stars Service: 3 stars

Last night was the first time my hub and I didn't really enjoy our food! I can tell they had a different cook! Food was tasteless!!! Very shocking, but one thing is for sure AS ALWAYS, we had the best waiter (younger Portuguese fella) A+++ customer service! We still enjoyed ourselves.

Best Portuguese food in the East Bay. Casual no nonsense atmosphere, and the service was like eating at home. I had the Bitoque which was perfect! The steak was cooked just as ordered. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a delicious meal at a reasonable price.

This is my home away from home. I love this place. Service is excellent. Food is excellent and authentic. Through the years I ordered just about everything on the menu and never had a bad meal. The restaurant is located downstairs from the hall. Kind of reminds me of an old style restaurant in a basement, I love the atmosphere.

Food was ok but service was the slowest I have ever seen. Took hour and a half for the meal to come out and 20 minutes just to pay our check. This area is filled with many good Portuguese restaurants so you can find much better.

In the basement level of the HGBB hall, this unassuming restaurant is cooking up a storm- a delicious, delicious storm. This place is absolutely perfect if you like to kick back with a cheap bottle of Vinho Verde (or other good,inexpensive portuguese reds on the menu) and enjoy an extremely large portion of flavorful and authentic Portuguese fare, all in a low key environment. The Pork Alentejana (Pork w. littlenecks) is to DIE for, and the Shrimp Mozambique (Drenched in white wine and Goya Sazon!) and Bitoque (Steak with a fried egg over frech fries) are a close second. Each dish on the menu comes drenched in the most umami sauces imaginable, all very distinctive in in flavor and very authentically Portuguese. You're guaranteed to leave with leftovers for the next three days and a wallet with only the slightest dent in it.

Best Portuguese food I have had. Price was great and the sangria was on point!

For the not so local in that area, this restaurant is a hard find. It is located under the Holy Ghost Beneficial Brotherhood of RI. The food is amazing and extremly cheap. It is in the basement of the hall and is a little dark but the food definetly makes up for it. My wife gets the Portuguese shrimp and says it is the best meal she has ever eaten. The bitorque (steak with the fried egg on top and the awesome sauce) tops any other of its kind . Better than any other Portuguese restaurants in East Providence. They also have one of the best carcoila (blade meat with the Portuguese spices) sandwiches south of New Bedford. The locals did a good job of keeping this place a secret, but I have to let the cat out of the bag. If you like Maderia, then you will love this little gem.

This hidden gem is a keeper y'all! Tucked into the basement of a hall is where you'll find great food at unbelievable prices! I thought my mother-in-law passed down some great recipes to me but this surpassed my every expectation! We visited Friday, January 31st, for my hubby's big 30, with his straight from the islands of Azores", family. I'm not familiar with one word food dishes, so I wasn't sure what I was going to get. Everything listed on the menu was in Portuguese with 1 word English reference underneath. Luckily I got help from the man, otherwise I would have probably ended up with what my father-in-law ordered ( a big hot steaming bowl of whole octopus). I opted for the classic, steak with egg. It arrived hot and looking fabulous with a fat juicy steak, huge piles of rice and fries with red peppers and an over easy egg to top it off. The gravy underneath the pile of food is what I can only describe was liquid gold, a taste bud' gasm! Yum! From that very moment I put the fork to my mouth I was in heaven! The rest of the table, including myself was silent stuffing bite after bite of the glorious meal in their mouths. I barely looked up to notice the live music. Two men with guitars strumming classic island tunes made it perfect to work on digesting the wonderful meal I had just ate. To top that off, I had another half a meal leftover to bring home! It was utter sadness when I woke up and found out the man had eaten my leftovers before I even awoke the next morning as breakfast :( but on the bright side, I live within 2 miles of this place and have an excuse to go back this week! Yes! The bill was less than $65 for 5 of us and our waitress spoke both English and Portuguese for the in laws. Needless to say I'll be back to the basement of glory as soon as I possibly can and you should too. Take my word for it, you'll leave happy and very full! So GO! Now... :)

I was driving through the area yesterday and noticed this place got great reviews. Oh boy, What a mistake that was. The three of us got there and ordered the calamari appetizer, the shrimp Mozambique, pork with little necks and a steak. The calamari came out first, all rubbery and greasy with cold pickles on top it. This might have been the worst calamari I've ever tasted but it was nothing compared to the shrimp Mozambique. I literally payed about 14 dollars for a plate of cocktail shrimp soaked in greasy hotsauce with a pile of unsalted french fries and unseasoned rice. The Mozambique sauce tasted eerily similar to the bottle of hotsauce on the table. Needless to say the other food wasn't that great either. For nearly fifty dollars you could do much better than this place.

Great local find. The restaurant has since been renovated since the previous review. Looks beautiful, bright & clean. Food is awesome. Had apps and drinks. Sauteed shrimp and calamari are great. The sauces are wonderful. Dip your bread and enjoy! Hours of Operation: Mon, Wed, Thu, 11:30am - 9pm Fri, Sat, 11:30am - 10pm Sun, noon - 6pm Please note - closed on Tuesdays.

Great little hideaway, hidden below the Holy Ghost Beneficial Brotherhood of RI hall in a quiet little neighborhood just steps from RT44. You'd never know this place was here, and that'd be a shame. A cheery and efficient group of waitresses serve a crowd of neighborhood families, gentle grandmother to eager grandchild, close friends, wedded couples and co-workers, at long tables and "two tops". There is a generously sized bar, and the most reasonably priced wine and drink menu I have seen in recent memory. Portuguese beer (Sagres) and wines, from Dão Reserva to Vinho Verde are prominent components. But I came for some chouriço. I was not disappointed. Grilled Portuguese sausage was the start of my visit. Served with hand made pickled peppers, and a heavy char, a single large sausage was plenty for two of us to share. Meaty, spicy and flavorful, good stuff. What followed was a giant serving of Carne de Porco à Alentejana. Marinated, cubed Pork, black olives, Littleneck clams, and boiled potatoes prepared in a spicy Paprika and Coriander sauce. Its a dish that screams with local flavor, and for a hearty roll to mop up that sauce. The stellar standout was the Bacalhau Frito com Cebolada. I have had bacalhau nearly a hundred times, from Bairro Alto to New Beige, and every time its a different dish. This one was a treat. A center cut Codfish steak, salted, battered whole, and fried. Then dressed in a sauce of sautéed Onion and Peppers, the vinegar sauce base perfectly balanced by the sweet reduced onions. This was not an easy dish to eat, the cod had a crisp crust and had not been filleted or deboned. The effort in pulling out the moist flaky fish, rewarded. A warm and wonderful place, full of great dining. 4 1/2+

Food is absolutely delicious here! You can get great Portuguese food here for cheap. While the decor may be nothing too fancy, the food makes up for it. The shrimp Mozambique is absolute perfection with mounds of fries and rice. Mouth watering goodness! The classic steak is also delish. You can't go wrong with anything you get here. Either way you go home full and happy.

This place is a hidden gem! Great Portuguese food! On Saturdays only they have stewed rabbit, the BEST I've ever had including family recipes. The Food is always hot and so plentiful, you'll be bring a meal home. You simply have to go and try it! The price of meals is so reasonable!

The hubby and I were looking for a Portuguese restaurant in the area found this one on Yelp. Great food! Great price! Would definitely recommend to others! Hubby says best Portuguese food in a resturant he has ever had.
