First time eating here. So many delicious savory flavors and textures. A very pleasant and enjoyable experience. Isidro our waiter effortlessly skilled and entertaining, a real charming fellow. The music they played while I was there was fantastic.

Clero was super kind and considerate, and also recommended great dishes on the menu. will be coming back soon!!

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!).

Delicious fresh salad with extras that were not on the menu. Very accommodating.

Cleto was an amazing server. He treated us with so much kindness and hospitality, definitely made our experience worth coming. Would definitely come again. 10/10 customer service!!!! <3

Having been coming to Bossa Nova for years now, I’d like to say how beautiful and refreshing it is to always be greeted by such a happy and positive individual. We are greeted by Isidro that is consistently attentive and caring of our dining experience. I’d like to say that aside from the yummy food, Isidro completes our dining experience in a great way. His menu suggestions are always on point. Especially when choosing the Bossa Salad! We very much appreciate the light about him and the establishment’s teamwork :)

Horrible passion fruit drink and rude lady working as the cashier! Really bad service

Happy Hour choices were excellent! I cannot imagine how good the rest of the menu is!! Isidro and his team are awesome

Dined at Bossa Nova and I had a fantastic experience! The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was cozy. What really stood out was our waiter— Cleto was super kind and attentive, making sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place for great food and excellent service!

Cleto was the best! Great spot to stop in for a late night meal.

Visited on the spur of the moment - and was delighted. Large menu - with a range of interesting dishes. Laid back ambience - music pleasant and not over powering. Portions are BIG - could share a salad to start for example. And each dish was tasty and satisfying . Great value for money - I will be coming back! Lots of parking makes it easy to return and enjoy .

A pleasant quiet place. We ate carbonara pasta and truffle pasta, it was and delicious! Special thanks to our waiter Cieto for professional service! We will definitely come back again!

We had Cleto as our server and we loved him ! He’s the best !!!!

Super nice place! If you get Cleto as a waiter you’re in for a perfect night of dining. Great staff and great service. 10/10

Vibe, Music, ISIDRO!!! Come get cultured at this spot. Been coming here since I was a child and I’m 95 years old now!! 🔥🔥 😋

The energy and atmosphere was excellent. Isidro was awesome at the service provided highly recommend.

Cleto did a great job serving us late night for the usual excellent Bossa Nova food.

Simply Amazing! Food, Sevice & Atmosphere!!! Our Server Isidro Was Great!!!

Went once with a friend, food was incredible and atmosphere was very pleasant. A movie star was having a medium party in the back -- its LA so we didnt care. Was just back in LA and I had to go back. Had forgotten the name, so I described it as 'that amazing Brazilian food with the powder'. No idea what the powdered stuff is, but everything on the plates was lovely again! Took the same friend, but think we had different meals & no stars this time but ourselves. 😁🌟 Highly recommend, would go again for certain.

I absolutely love this place! I recommend their amazing garlic beef. It never disappoints and is always cooked to perfection. Whenever I'm back in town, I make a point to eat here at least once. This restaurant is a must-visit if you're looking for a delicious meal. Highly recommended!

Great choice for a quick tasty food journey. Huge Menu. And all the dishes are truly delicious. Service is fast and welcoming.

Clerto was a great server. Very friendly and prompt with service. We will be coming back.

Exquisite food, perfect service, very friendly, nice place to hang with friends.

Had lunch with a friend today. Food was delicious and the server Isidro was very attentive. Overall a great experience.

Such a yummy lunch and even better service. Thank you Isidro for your excellent service.

Been there 3 times and every time I go stayed completely satisfied…

Cleto is the best server and food is delicious every time!

Cleto took care of us amazingly tonight I honestly the best customer service !

Cleto provided great customer service !!!

One of the best food places in Los Angeles hands down! AMAZING every time & Cleto is the coolest guy around and the best server! Such a wonderful establishment!

Bossa Nova Kitchen is a staple restaurant. The food is delicious, the ingredients are always fresh, and the dishes are consistently excellent. More importantly, the customer service is impeccable. Michael is a rock star and made sure I had a wonderful experience.

Good variety on the menu and open late!!

I hosted my birthday dinner at this location since I needed something fast, easy, and delicious. When I got there Michael was our server and he took us to a more intimate room that was beautifully decorated. I am a mom of four and being able to bring my kids without having to worry about sitting is very important to me. Not only did Michael help me choose the plates for the kids he made it extremely easy for me. Sometimes it can be hectic ordering for kids especially if they are very picky eaters. Michael recommended the picanha steak since I told him I was in the mood for steak and oh my it was so delicious! He also help serve the kiddos and made sure they had proper cups and utensils. I enjoyed my birthday dinner and Michael made it special by getting his teammates to surprise me and sing happy birthday. He also took his time in helping my girlfriends chose their plates and they were all so happy. Will definitely be coming back for more special occasion dinners.

Beautiful location and great service

My first time at Bossa Nova and I couldn’t be more pleased. I am a Brazilian living in the US and it is always so hard to find a good Brazilian restaurant. This one might just be it. Great food and great service. I was served by Cleto and he was super attentive and made great suggestions. Five stars!

I had the most wonderful experience at Bossa Nova with my fiancée. Cleto was our server and was extremely attentive, friendly, and had great suggestions. My favorites on the menu were the pastel (chicken and cheese), escondidinho, and the pudim with coconut. Check this location out if you’re ever in the area- they have an awesome ambiance, too.

everything was beautiful, thank you!

Cleto is an amazing server! Food is delicious and ther service in Lickety split!

Food is amazing. The wait staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Isidro is always a smiling face bringing your food. Always happy to visit and have picanha and pizza!

Tasty dinner, served by friendly and helpful people (especially Cleto and Monique), in a very pleasant environment. Delicious dinner, served by outgoing and helpful people (especially Cleto and Monique), in a very pleasant environment.

Philip immediately put a smile on my fsce upon walking in. A ten out of ten dven if it was just a glass of wine i ordered. I needed the kindness today. Thanks Philip!

my friend and i showed up to eat at the weho location around 11:30 and we were seated right away, we had wonderful service from Cleto and the food was delicious. beautiful presentation and avid team working. we tried the tiramisu and it was delicious, has strawberry slices on it. a little heavy on the rum but i’m not a pro so what do i know.

Nestor was a great server. He was very patient with us because it was our first time here. He recommended great food and helped us a great deal. I recommend sitting at the up high table.

Great ambiance. Good food and great drinks

Cleto was our server and was extremely helpful and kind after myself and my friend had a long day. He gave us great recommendations and we enjoyed what was recommended. I love the atmosphere, it is much more of a chill vibe than the downtown location and I enjoyed the vibes here!!

Shout out to cleto he was helpful with describing the items and was patient will come back again !

Saw a spider crawling on my food

Isido was amazing, helpful and a delight to talk to. He made our table feel right at home.

Delicious food the service was amazing 👏 🤩 😋

Excellent dinner. We came to the local one for dinner and had a great time. The restaurant is very nice and quite large. The menu is large and with varied choices. We had steaks with various side dishes and it was all very good. The desserts made by them were also exceptional. I would say the price is good for what we ate and especially considering the average prices of the city.

Good late night spot, get the chicken rice and plantains

also open till late, finally somebody

Great spot for late night food. Calm and inviting atmosphere.

Super delicious food!!! Nice atmosphere and they offer good service. It's totally worth it!!!

Cleto was our waiter and he was fantastic. He recognized us from before and greeted us with a huge smile. He is very informative about the menu and always welcoming!

I love the Veggie Bowl with mushrooms. Bossa Nova is good. They have a large menu. There's something for everyone.

Everything was excellent .Our server ,Cleto made us feel welcome from the start and guided us through the menu.We will definitely visit again soon

Great food always. Love how fresh their food is, and the fact they are open late.

Had a late night cozy sunday dinner with my lover here last night and it was so delish. The food was freshly made, so yummy, and good portions. Our waiter Cleto was so sweet and blessed us with some good energy after reading our check out to be 77.77. They even gave us a yummy dessert on the house! We will most definitely back.

All the food I tried was very delicious. The server was through & competent. There's only one complaint. Remember what the table asks for & be mindful of requests. The food again was tasty & very good. I will definitely return. Very pleasant & satisfying experience. I didn't appreciate the 8 dollar valet parking, especially having to park your own car. Why are we paying to park?

The starters where amazing how ever steak is not there strong suit.....but the customer service and atmosphere 2nd to none

Pleasant atmosphere, delicious food and friendly staff!

I just arrived in Los Angeles and I ate my dinner at this place. It was wonderful and very delicious. Thank you Cleto for the most wonderful service.

This is my go-to spot for a late night snack and drink since they are open until 2 am. The food is delicious and they offer a wide variety of options. Furthermore, the staff is very friendly, attentive, and professional. Especially when Cleto is my server, I know I will be getting the best possible service. I highly recommend this place.

Delicious food! It's great to have a taste of Brazil close to home. Out of 10 service! Aline served us very well, a sweetheart. We will definitely be back!

Great food! I said great food! Seasoned to perfection! Also very good prices!

Cleto greeted my party with the utmost service and respect. Highly recommend Bossa Nova to my friends and family in the Downtown Santa Monica area.

I ordered take out and the food was delicious. Nice and friendly staff.

Delicious food, our server Aline was the best! Will definitely go back.

I never leave reviews but I had to for this because I literally got scammed. I tried to leave the review on grubhub but it didn’t work. I ordered a burrito for delivery, and I attached a picture of what I ordered vs what I got. The burrito was missing everything, the enchilada sauce, salsa, sour cream, avacado, cheddar cheese and cilantro, basically everything advertised.

This was our first time dining at this restaurant. The service and food was fantastic. I would come back again!

8$ parking and an additional kitchen appreciaten fee. Food was good though.

#1 Phillip deserves a raise he was wonderful, Prof and had great customer service. Very friendly and related. He made us go outside the norm and order new plates. We had several dishes, a few desserts, and an appetizer. Everything was great except the strawberry cake, we weren't really fans of it. It only was decent with the whip cream and strawberries on the side. The Al Pesto was great. Banana cheesecake superb. The ceviche was delicious. I didn't name everything we had but it was a great experience and a nice late lunch for my friends birthday. Love this location.

Nice place in a quiet aerea close to a tram station. The steak bowl was flavorful. Quiet place opened on a Tuesday night.

My husband is Brazilian so we decided to try this place out while visiting LA. It was amazing! So good we went back the next night!!

Excellent place, Brazilian food

Our server was nice and food was so delicious 👏 Definitely coming back!

Low quality food and terrible service

I have been here 3 times and it has been outstanding each time. I used to live in Brazil and the feijoada here takes me back there it is so good. We have also gotten the Churrasco. It is big enough to feed up to 4 people. I loved the fried yucca and the pao de queijo. The meat is always cooked to perfection here. Highly recommend

Great place to eat food is fantastic and the service makes the experience even better. I tried a Brazilian beer which was awesome.

Super cool place for those who want to miss Brazilian food, but we found it very expensive. A Stroganoff, for example, $25.

Went there for dinner with a couple of friends I came to visit in LA. It wasn't very busy and one of our friends was already seated with a couple of glasses of water. The menus were already at the table and a waiter was there to take our order pretty fast. Our friend used already ordered the video I ordered the chicken Parm because my friend says he gets that often and it didn't disappoint. They are regulars there and judging from the quality of what I had I can see why. To be more complete with the review, I wanted to order my classic order of cheesecake that I use a metric often, but none of my friends were getting dessert so I didn't get it. But judging from what re I wish I ordered it.. so do me a favor and get that for me and let me know what it is like ;) I can see myself being a regular there.

I've been eating at this place for a few years now. Always enjoy a good meal! I particularly enjoy for an appetizer, the Caprese, and for the main course, two of my favorite; the Santa Fe Salad or Skirt Steak with Rice Beans and Plantains.

I have developed a bit of an habit with this place. I typically order the beef tenderloin bowl as my “it’s a late night at the studio” meal because it always arrives hot and I always feel fantastic after eating it. There are so many different veggies and flavors in the bowl! I haven’t been to the physical location of this restaurant, but I have been blown away by the quality of the food that I’ve had delivered by Uber Eats.

Loved the food and different appetizers.

Very good authentic Brazilian food, the service was not perfect with a long wait but the food was amazing

Excellent food - I'm always in awe of the variety they have in their menu. Service could use a bit more efficiency but they were friendly and apologetic for the delay.

Always love the food here, and the people are friendly. Them mashed taters are so yummy!

Big menu with lots of great choices

Felipe is a perfect waiter. The Meat is phenomenal. I recommend it! 🤩

Amazing place. good food and good service.

Came here on a Thursday night (which may have been why it wasn't super busy), but I was seated right away. The service was good ans fast, the food was excellent, and the overall atmosphere set by the lighting and music made for a very relaxing, vibrant, and enjoyable dinner. I ordered the picanha with black beans, garlic mashed potatoes (if you ask they will add garlic to their mashed potatoes!), and roasted vegetables. Everything was excellent. I highly recommend if you are in the mood for a Brazilian steakhouse.

Visitei e adorei. Frequento todos. Comida maravilhosa, preços acessíveis e funcionários super atenciosos. Visite'o e ficará cliente.

Super indico. Tudo de melhor vc encontra lá. Visite-o

Bossa Nova is hands down one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles. And the Pico location is one of my favorites. It holds a special place in my heart for their service provided. Bossa's menu is huge, with tons of amazing options catered to every tast and food preferences. I love asking the friendly staff for recommendations, and I've never been disappointed. Some of my favorites include coxinhas, mussarela bruschetta, pao-de-queijo, Bossa Salada, Aurelio's Fave, and Rosada pasta with gnocchi. The place is really cozy and inviting, and the staff is always super nice and patient. I highly recommend checking it out!
