Great food. Grew up in Cambridge. Visiting after moving away. Not many Portuguese choices anymore. Did not disappoint. Brought back memories of all my friends parents cooking for us. read more

Food was good but definitely frozen and reheated. Nothing fresh available. Couldn't get a steamed lobster's plate even though it was on the menu. Wasn't available. Ask for medium and get well done, the Poncha was excellent. But the bill was a little ridiculous for a small cafe style restaurant placed next to the dry cleaners. Service came with a smile but during our meal it sounded ike construction was going on in the kitchen. My in-laws are Portuguese and live in the area so we wanted something for them. Pretty sure we will travel further for fresh food next time. read more

A lovely Portuguese restaurant! I am not used to having such wonderful Portuguese cuisine readily available where I'm from and this place was absolutely delicious. Super authentic food, affordable prices, and everything tasted amazing! Staff was welcoming and friendly. Service was quick and everything was served nice and hot. read more

Don't be fooled by the location in a strip mall or the unassuming exterior. The food is amazing.

I thought this place was good. We came on a Thursday evening and all the food was very flavorful. We had fava beans for appetizer and even those were flavorful; that's saying something! We had a robust red wine from their wine list all of which were portugese wines and two steaks. But there is a great selection of seafood/shell fish. We topped it off with dessert and coffees. My only disappointment is that they did not have the flan for dessert. read more

Excellent food. Authentic and varied Portuguese cuisine. Warm and convivial atmosphere. Family friendly. Superb Portuguese wine selections. A little gem in Woburn, MA read more

Got the sausage on fire as an appetizer. It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, would recommend. Then got the grilled octopus for the entree. It was pretty bland so I requested lemon slices, which apparently they charged for.. However, my friends liked the grilled octopus dish but agreed that it was not amazing. read more

Top notch food, price, and service, every time. This place is amazing. It's me and my wife's go to. F the Nines.

4.5 rounded up to 5. Small, popular, family owned restaurant with very good food. If you are in the mood for fresh tasting seafood or Portuguese food, you should definitely come here. The food was excellent - the grilled octopus was tender with a char-grilled taste; the lobster in the Marisqueira (mixed seafood in garlic tomato sauce w/rice) had a just cooked/not too firm texture; the Cataplana com Mariscos (mixed seafood in a white wine sauce w/paprika &/or saffron/turmeric - not sure which one but the sauce/soup had a distinct orangish-yellow hue) was fragrant with a robust seafood broth. The portion sizes are generous (no need for appetizer) and pricing is fair/average. Food is cooked from scratch so there is a wait time. read more

Adega Restaurant - Portuguese Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

Very clean, comfortable, well decorated space. Plenty of outdoor seating as well as air conditioned inside dining (which I welcomed on a 90+ degree day). The hostess was friendly and prompt, the server, Eduardo, could not be beat; he was friendly and hospitable, attentive without being overbearing and brought my change without asking if he should (big time bonus points from me there!) Not to mention the food was outstanding. read more

Truly amazing food. Server was helpful in answering all our questions and was very cheerful. We ordered the grilled/stewed octopus, grilled codfish, and steak. It was all super flavorful with distinct flavors. All the seafood was super tender. I regret not coming here sooner. read more

Service is probably the worst I have ever had. The waiter sat us and gave us drinks. Mixed up the entire drink order. He took two other tables orders that sat after us. 20 minutes later I had to flag him down from eating his dinner out back to take our order. He had no idea we were still sitting here waiting to order. The men's bathroom has no faucet so you need. To use the ladies room to wash your hands. The food made up for all of this. Was hoping for Portuguese rolls, but got good warm bread. The clams and pork were probably the best I have ever had. The seafood in saffron rice was excellent. The portion sizes were large. I would go back, but only because the food was that good. This should be a five star review, just need to fix the service. Hint, find the waitress, she seemed to be on point. The waiter not so much. read more

Everything was delicious and our server Eddie was on point and amazing! I highly recommend this great restaurant.

Delicious! What a great experience. In Woburn for meetings and stopped by for some homemade portuguese food. I think the picture will speak for itself. Service was phenomenal. Looking forward to next time i am in Woburn to return to the gem of a restaurant. read more

Outstanding Portuguese food that 100% run by family and serves authentic dishes. Service is great and you feel like you are in Europe. Nice selection of wine! read more

This place is great. Good, well-priced Portuguese cuisine, and a very authentic atmosphere. I have been here many times and the service is always exceptionally warm, friendly, and hospitable. One noteworthy thing is the quality and price of the wines; they are reliably good Portuguese wines at a very good price If you live in Woburn or Stoneham or Winchester and you aren't coming here, then you need to start. read more

Restaurant in small strip of stores. Looked really homey, patrons looked like local families. Had clams in garlic and oil which were really tasty. Loved dipping the warm bread in the sauce, Chicken in spicy sauce was pretty good, the level of heat was nice. Other dish was paella, had lots of mussels and clams. The 1/2 lobster was on the small side. Overall. dish as OK, but rice was very liquidy. read more

What a gem! Woburn and the surrounding area is lucky to have Adega. What's even better is now if I want Portuguese food, I don't have to go to into Somerville or Cambridge. The restaurant is comfortable and decorated with homey-style decor My parents brought my husband and I here on New Year's Day 2016 for my birthday dinner. As soon as I opened the door, my sense of smell was pleasantly overwhelmed by the delicious smells of potatoes, meats, fish and other delicious foods. Chef Helder is doing a fantastic job and his waitstaff are extremely professional and attentive. Since it was my birthday, I ordered the meal that I would want on my last day on this Earth--Adega's bife a Portuguesa. This meal was enhanced by the high quality of meat, the perfectly cooked egg, the delicious sauce and the chef's hand-cut potatoes. I was in heaven. I ate the whole entire thing even after eating linguica, a ton of bread, and the goat cheese appetizer--total pig out fest and I loved every moment of it! For dessert, I had flan and an espresso. The flan was super creamy and just the right amount of moisture. The espresso was served Portuguese style and it was rich and amazing. Those of you that want your Portuguese cuisine on the go, Adega offers take out! I highly recommend this restaurant and I'll keep on coming back unless something drastic changes. read more

Excelent food... had the octopus, fresh tender and delicious... Best Portuguese place outside of Portugal. read more

Adega Restaurant - The Polvo is Amazing - Portuguese Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

The restaurant now has a short, yet good wine list. We had a bottle of Castello D'Alba for $17 that was full bodied and not dry. Also served was a complimentary appetizer of olives and fava beans. The appetizer of clams was well prepared in a sauce of fresh garlic and served with excellent, chewy bread. There were about a dozen clams for $9. We shared the entree of shellfish for $18 with a white kidney bean and bell pepper sauce. The beans added a distinct flavor to the dish which was a welcome surprise. It was also laden with fresh garlic. I cleaned my plate with the bread after eating the half lobster, clams, mussels, shrimp and calamari. It was excellent. I can see where the service could be spotty with a full restaurant, but it was friendly and attentive with only four tables occupied on a Sunday afternoon. We received good advice on the wine and food, and would certainly recommend the place to anyone looking for great seafood prepared Iberian-style, that is fresh, properly cooked and garlicky. read more

Visiting from California. Love Portuguese food. Tried many restaurants but this one is the best by far. The clams, the sardines, linguisas and the star was the Polvo grehlado (grilled octopus). Must try! Definitely recommending to everyone. read more

Went here tonight for dinner for the first time and, wow, so amazingly delicious! Got there around 7:15pm and there were some folks ahead of us, so we had a medium pitcher of red sangria at the bar that was very tasty. We were able to order and eventually got a table around 8pm. We got the grilled cod and the steak with shrimp. Both were incredible! That was the most tender shrimp I've ever had and the flavors across the board were amazing. Portion size was large and I had some leftover of my cod to take home for tomorrow. Cod was a bit chewy if I bit off too much, so definitely had to take my time. We finished off with a dessert (I forget what it's called) with cinnamon and egg cream and it was really good! Perfect end to a wonderful meal. We'll definitely be back here! Only ding is that they can probably use another server to help them kept up when the restaurant is packed as the service was on the slow side. They were super nice though, so we didn't mind terribly much. read more

Fantastic little Portuguese restaurant. Great environment and food. I highly recommend this little hole in the wall restaurant.

Fantastic seafood and great wine! We have been to this restaurant many times now, and not once has the food or service disappointed us in any way. read more

The food was fantastic and vey authentic I Just returned home from my first trip to Portugal and this carried the experience forward.

I thought it is a good restaurant. The photo looks good. I ordered the seafood combo from the entree. My advice is, Don't try the lobster. It stinks! read more

The food was great! Large pitcher of sangria was bottomless (for 2 people). The service could be better and faster but the quality of food was worth the wait. Didn't expect from this place a lot but was pleasantly surprised. Let see how it goes the second time there. read more

First and most important, it's BYOB kids. Every other table seemed to know this but us. The restaurant has apparently been open a little over a month. We kind of stumbled on it while looking for another place. It is small but nicely decorated and clean. The service and the kitchen are a little slow. The water is bottles of Poland spring which came out of the 24 pack that they charge $2.50 for. The food is good. The calamari was done just right and was one of the better calamari dishes I've had. The sardines were cooked nicely and had good flavor. The bread comes with a nicely seasoned oil and the olives were great. Both myself and my friend ordered fish dishes served in "a light tomato broth." The broth was great and the servings were huge but in both cases, our fish was pretty overdone. My dish was rich in shellfish which sadly had become dry and chewy. We split the Portuguese tart for dessert which was quite yummy with a Portuguese orange liquor. Cappuccino was a good finish. Overall, I would go back here and try a non seafood dish. There are some kinks they need to work through but it's worth a try. read more

Had a great meal at Adega. I ordered the Camaro de Queija Cabra, which was sautéed shrimp with peppers and onions in a spicy tomato sauce with rice and goat cheese. I'm sensitive to spice and found it a bit spicier than expected but was able to enjoy the delicious dish nonetheless. I had a glass of sparkling wine, and some bread and olives. I didn't try the desserts or starters but they looked delicious - and the meal was filling enough! Will definitely be back. read more

Adega Restaurant - Camaro de Queija Cabra and sparkling wine - Portuguese Near Me - Woburn, Massachusetts

My husband and I went here tonight for the first time. It's location is in a run-down strip but the interior is clean and pretty cute. The waitress was extremely nice. The bread and olives to start were lovey and I liked the white wine she brought me. We had the cod cake appetizer and the fava bean appetizer. The cod cakes were tasty but could have done with a sauce of some kind. The favas were also tasty but very mushy. I had a special which was stuffed lobster with seafood rice which looked very impressive but honestly had no flavor. My husband had stewed octopus and he wasn't crazy about his meal either. It was fun to try but I think next time we are in the mood for Portuguese we will go to Cambridge. read more

I had looking online for a good Portuguese restaurant to take my family to celebrate my wife's birthday. I thought Cambridge would be the best chance but everything I read seemed disappointing. By chance I found Adega in Woburn just 3 miles from our home. It live up to everything I read. Perfect little cozy restaurant with great authentic food, decor and friendly family oriented service. Definitely now on our list of regular restaurants to visit. read more

Came here for the first time yesterday! Really nice food and staff! We stayed for a long time and they still serve us! I actually felt bad for them... For our main meal we had the lobster, so good, and the seabass, fresh and flaky! I will definitely come back when I am in Boston again! read more
