Nuno's Restaurant & Lounge — Restaurant in New Bedford

Went to Nuno's Friday and Saturday this week. Friday I had the salmon with sauteed spinach and shrimp (AMAZING!!!) and my honey had the veal with gravy, mushrooms and onions (he devoured it!!) On Saturday we both got the clamboil.....hands down the BEST and most generous we have ever had at any restaurant. The clams were clean and sweet, a good size piece of Linguicia, 2 hot dogs, 2 sausage, 2 onions, 2 potatoes!!!!! Plus it stayed HOT throughout the whole time eating it!!! Every Portuguese dish I have had has been AMAZING!!!

Everything that comes out of that kitchen looks and smells great!!!! I am a big seafood person, believe me when I tell you EVERYTHING that comes out of that kitchen is FRESH!!! I won't eat any fish product that smells like fish....because that means it's not fresh. Fish isn't supposed to smell fishy, it should smell like the ocean/saltwater.

This would be a good time to mention the cleanliness of this place!!!! I have seen inside the kitchen when the door swings open.....VERY CLEAN!!!!! The bathrooms are spotless!!!

Now the staff.......LOOOOOVE every single one of them!!! We usually sit at the bar or the hightops in the bar area. They have all made us feel at home and part of their family!!! It is refreshing to see how honest they are and that they all take so much pride in their jobs to make sure their customers have a great experience there and are completely happy with everything from the kitchen staff ( the wife is an UNBELIEVABLE GREAT cook!!) to the bartenders, waitstaff, owners and their amazing, smart son!!!!!! TRUE PROFESSIONALISM!!!!

If you haven't tried Nuno's yet....you don't know what you are missing!!! Only thing.....DON'T take our seats at the bar!!! 😉😉😉😉

My husband and myself along with our adult kids when home have been coming to Nuno's since the first week he opened and have dined there just about every week since. You simply cannot beat the food quality, quantity (leftovers are a guarantee for us), consistency (always fantastic), price, cleanliness throughout and most of all, the warm, welcoming, family and friend atmosphere. Nuno, his wife and entire staff including their bartenders are top notch, the best around. You can always find Nuno most always at the front desk and if not, his eyes are always on the front, doing his best in seating people and/or trying his best to accommodate everyone (btw, the place can be busy esp at peak times so expecting a wait isn't uncommon, as you would anywhere else, but so worth it). He makes his rounds to check on food delivery and patron's satisfaction but you will also find him delivering food as well, you name it and he's doing it along with his staff, all the while his wife works hard behind the scenes with their kitchen staff preparing homemade food at it's best! I do have to mention, although, we love ALL of their food, their fish and/or seafood in general selection is amazing incl Halibut, Tuna Steaks, Jumbo Shrimps to name just a few examples...SUPERB and during Lent, for us it's important to carry on the "Fish on Friday" tradition, I tell them this all of the time, they have not only the BEST Fish/Seafood but the FRESHEST Fish/Seafood. One word for this place and even that's not...

Nuno’s has been at this location for 4 years but only recently discovered it via a coworker. Access off the highway is easy although parking can be a challenge.

The restaurants ambience is cozy and inviting due to low lighting, warm colors and friendly staff.

Nuno, the owner, was a former bartender at Traneira restaurant in Westport, MA and owned the Porta’s de Cidade also in Westport.

The menu has your traditional Portuguese fair while adding some dishes with a traditional twist.

We had the little neck clams in both the wine and garlic and Spanish style with a tomato broth. Both were great when coupled with a Portuguese bread roll for dipping.

We ordered the traditional Portuguese steak plate house style with rice, fries and fried eggs. Now keep in mind some typical Portuguese restaurants serve a flattened, tenderized steak but Nuno’s serves a thicker sirloin steak.

I have to praise the cooks for being able to correctly get the steaks to a medium rare. Many portuguese restaurants seem to only cook well done no matter what you ask for so they did a great job.

We finished our dishes off with some Lancers Portuguese wine. It’s the classic budget wine with a great taste and decent buzz.

Overall the restaurant, people, atmosphere was a great addition to my list of go to Portuguese restaurants. We will...
