I came here with a friend of mine and someone who is like a grandmother to us. We had the BEST time. First off - they greeted us so kindly. We had to wait a bit for our table but the time went by so fast because they were so nice to us. When we finally sat down I was OVERWHELMED with the options. It's a large front and back menu that has endless possibilities. There are many options for meat and seafood lovers, as well as vegetarian and vegan preferential eaters such as myself. I had their fried plantains and truffle fries - both incredibly delicious. I decided on one of their bowls which had great proportions and was flavorful. My friend had salmon and our "grandmother" had the fettuccine alfredo. To top it all off we shared the New York cheesecake and even got one to go because it was that delicious. My only regret is not taking pictures! We were so hungry and ate too fast, it completely skipped my mind. Next time I will! UPDATE: I took pictures this time and went with a larger group. Still had a great time.

Made a reservation for my birthday for a party of 10. Wonderful place, great atmosphere and the food was excellent!! The waiters had a lot of patience for our group and service only got a little slow towards the end of the night (the place was busy!).

When visiting LA, one of my close friends took me to Bossa Nova for a late dinner. All around it was a great experience from the service to the food. We shared an appetizer and a main course (MANUELLA’S). The food was great. Really no complaints.

The food was great and the perfect quantity. My favorite part was the cake. The size was bigger than I was expecting and the taste was definitely something! We ordered a carrot cake and a red velvet cake, both of which were some of the best we have had

Cute restaurant with great food and service. This was under construction when we went. I tried the Paella and loved the flavor profile and seafood ratio. Cleto refilled my hibiscus tea nonstop and even got me a cup to go. It was so thoughtful. I would go back again.

Went here for dinner on a Friday night and really enjoyed it! Inside is cute, staff is friendly, and food is solid. Got the salmon plate with beans, mashed potatoes, and plantains and would recommend all of them
