Luzia’s Restaurant is a Portugese jewel on the Upper West Side, hidden amongst the many average “pasta places” in the neighborhood. Upon entering, the modest space greets patrons with a handcrafted bar, laid beneath a faux terracotta roof. To the left is the dining room, under a brick archway.

Executive Chef Rui Santo, who was classically trained in Portugal, has created a menu rich in tradition and style, while allowing guests to experience individual tastes and aromas his dishes bare. Grilled Portuguese Sardines - served over salad with roast potatoes and vegetables, and the Special Portuguese Fish Stew - with striped bass or red snapper, clams mussels and shrimp in a light tomato broth are two wonderful selections. Tapas from all parts of Spain are introduced to patrons as well, and folks are welcome to try them “al fresco” in the warmer summer months.

When you taste the unusual home-cooked style dishes at this inexpensive and cozy spot, you will swear you have been transported to Portugal. Perfect for a first date or a family get-together, this Luzia’s features a very friendly staff. There are plenty of beef, poultry and seafood entrees, as well as a wine list that includes Portuguese choices. The space is small and they only take reservations for large parties, so there could be a wait. Plan ahead – it’s worth it.
