Saweetie’s Favorite Restaurants In LA - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"“I love Bossa Nova because they're open until four in the morning, and the food is consistent. I order the same three things. I'm ordering the alfredo pasta, the pesto pasta, or Manuella’s pasta. We don’t have quality food that’s open that late, unless you wanna go through a fast food drive-thru. Bossa Nova is that girl that got you when it's late at night.”" - brennan carley

Where to Order Delivery From in LA, According to a Local | Eater

"With locations across LA, Bossa Nova serves popular Brazilian dishes like grilled picanha steak and Calabresa (Brazilian-style sausage). Out of all the items on the restaurant’s expansive dinner menu, try Rodriguez’s favorite; the Bossa Super Bowl with chicken, topped with a tangy chimichurri sauce." - Rayna Rossitto

Such a nice experience! Great prices on kids menu for large portion. All of our food was delicious. Super friendly staff! Thank you!

The service, location and and decor was all great - Bossa Nova is a very cozy spot to eat. The menu is a little bit all over, offering options like pizzas and Italian pastas and I wish they just would have stuck to authentic Brazilian cuisine. My friend got a feijoada bowl and I got a traditional chicken breast from the grill. For me, it was a relatively dry plate - i'm not sure if I was expected to order a sauce of some kind, but if so, I would have loved some guidance from our waiter. Not bad, but definitely one of the more forgettable meals I had during my stay in LA.

This place came highly recommended on our trip to LA. We had the fish of the day dish and it was delicious. It was like a chicken picata but with fish and mashed potatoes instead of pasta. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and the potatoes were lovely. The sautéed greens had good flavor but we would have preferred a vegetable with more bite like an asparagus to balance out the soft fish and potatoes. The empanadas were really good. Very flaky pastry and the fillings were good. The sauce was interesting. We weren't a fan of the cheese breads. They were very dense and I wasn't keen on the kind of cheese they used. The red velvet cake and caramel fudge cheesecake should not be missed. They were exceptional. I was not a fan of the passionfruit margarita. Service was friendly but we noticed that our server was nowhere to be found for most of our visit. It took us awhile to get the check. Overall it was a good experience and we would definitely visit again.

Great food! The flatbread and Sangria is definitely the way to start the meal! The steak was flavorful and great quality. I highly recommend you stop in!

Terrible Management – Bossa Nova 8/21/25 I came here with a friend on 8/21/25 around 1:40 pm, and let me tell you — this was one of the WORST dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Yes, the food came out fast, but who cares when you can’t even enjoy it? There was a huge group in the back being outrageously loud. We asked our waitress (Margarita, who was actually very kind) if anything could be done, and she admitted she had been asking them AND the manager for TWO HOURS to quiet down with no results. TWO HOURS! So I asked to speak to the manager — a guy named Vin/Viny (whatever his name is) — and the way he handled it was absolutely pathetic. I told him we couldn’t even talk over our food because of how loud this group was. His response? “What do you want me to do? They’re just having a good time.” Are you kidding me?! That’s the best a so-called manager can come up with? Instead of stepping up and running his restaurant, he actually stopped the waitress AND security from addressing the situation. Zero accountability, zero effort, zero customer service. He didn’t offer to move us, didn’t apologize, didn’t care. He flat out brushed us off like our business didn’t matter. At that point, I just asked for my check and to-go boxes because the whole experience was ruined. If this is how management allows their restaurant to be run — loud, chaotic, and dismissive of paying customers — then trust me, this is NOT the place you want to spend your time or money. Pathetic management, wasted meal, and absolutely no respect for customers. I won’t be back, and I’ll make sure to tell everyone I know to avoid this place

Food was absolutely amazing, but the plate was ridiculously small. We got asked by the server if something was missing and sad: “Yes, the plates.” And he went on to say the little tea plates were THE plates. Absolutely ridiculous. Not usually a Karen but this caused the whole table to have fallen rice on it.

Our server, Alex Miranda, truly made our day unforgettable. He surprised my sister with a birthday cake, creating a moment we will always remember.

We had feijoada for two for $29 which delicious and enough for 2. Service was great. Caipirinha was not good, I didn’t like it. But overall a great experience. It is not a fancy restaurant. Free street parking at night, not sure during the day.

I've heard about Bossa Nova for a VERY long time and I was in the area so I decided to give it a shot. Saw that they were open late which was a plus after a night out. Walked in on a Saturday around 2am with no reservation. They sat us down immediately which was cool. The vibe was very mixed with many coming dressed really nice to other being very casual. You had a mix of older and younger crowd which was cool. I must say that it was very loud in there (not in a bad way) and it was all from people talking. Great to see as we always tend to see everyone on their phone lol let's get to the food. We got some calamari to start off with which was very good. Had a very crunchy texture but still holding its chewy interior. The sauces were okay. I feel like they could work on those but also unsure if they have a Brazilian twist to them. I would go 8/10 on those. I got the lasagna with meat and that was delicious! They made it a bit different as it had ham and bacon I believe which was a nice touch. Great cook on it and it was very creamy as well. It was great and I would definitely get it again. 9/10. My fiancé went with the Manuella pasta which had shrimp in it. It was really delicious! Nice size portion was well. It was a great cook on the noodles and shrimp and a great taste on the sauce they used. She said she would rate it a 9/10 as well. We also got 2 passion fruit margaritas which were pretty good. 8/10. I would try a different flavor next time though. Overall, this place seems like they get pretty busy especially being so close to the Hollywood night life. I saw a few athletes in there was well so that was cool. If you're ever in the area, stop by and check it out!

I've been going to Bossa Nova with my family for maybe thirty years and it's always awesome. But I went to the Hollywood location on Sunset Blvd. last Friday night, and something really bewildering happened. I've always been a big fan of the Willy's Burrito, and I noticed that one can now order the "wet" version. When I go to most restaurants and order a wet burrito, it's topped with a red enchilada-style sauce. But my wet burrito came out topped with what appeared to be, and what tasted like, sweet Italian marinara sauce... like the kind you find on chicken parmesan or pasta (or anything you get at an Italian restaurant). It was like some weird combination of Mexican food and Italian food. (Bossa Nova is Brazilian, so maybe they eat Mexican food with Italian sauce in Brazil?) I told the waiter that the cook had made a mistake and placed the wrong sauce on top, and he told me it was the correct sauce. In my entire life, I've never seen a Mexican dish topped with Italian sauce! I mean, I love fusion cuisine that combines flavors from different countries, but -- no. I actually thought somebody was playing a prank on me. I don't know who's idea that was, but I hope that person never has an idea again. I'm still a big fan of Bossa Nova, but maybe I'll order the burrito dry next time.

We got seated right away and our server was very nice. Very clean. We started with the calamari. That was super dry and flavorless. The sauce on the side was fine. The ceaser salad was also super bland. The short rib pasta was fine. The meat was wildly overcooked and was kind of stringy. The pasta itself was good and the flavor was good. The cheesecake was great. That saved the night. The glass of white wine i got was also good. Overall I wouldnt go back. Nothing wowed me. But if you want something that is OK and open late this is the place to go.

Dined in here randomly on a Saturday night & didn't have a reservation but we're able to get seated right away. Didn't plan to get a full dinner just some drinks and an appetizer. The menu had a lot of unique items that sounded really intriguing so I made a mental note to definitely come back. We ordered the shrimp and chips and the shrimp was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The shrimp was very juicy and every bite tasted amazing. The fries however were way too salty and they overdid it with the amount of lime that was tossed throughout. Our waitress was not the most pleasant but luckily we were in and out this night. Definitely look forward to returning to try more menu items. The interior is spacious and aesthetically pleasing. Lots of seating, I could see it being perfect brunch spot and food for date nights too.

I've been to this Bossa Nova location a few times now. The service was decent, and the food was good. The pasta lacks sauce sometimes though. There was a couple times where my order wasn't exactly right though. There was a case where I ordered to go and me and a colleague ordered separately, 2 different pastas with different noodles and different sauce, however we realized later that they had gave her penne noodles with her Alfredo instead of fettuccine and they gave me fettuccine noodles with my pesto instead of the penne. I enjoyed mine still, but she did not enjoy hers. It is best to go in the afternoon if you're trying to avoid the crowd. It can get really crowded at night.

Visited: 11/30/25 Chicken Madeira: 10/10 ($22.95) Absolutely delicious! This was my favorite dish of the night! The flavors were bold and well-balanced, and everything complemented each other perfectly. I loved the combination of the tender chicken, savory sauce, and the sides. It left me wanting even more after I finished. Definitely a dish I'd order again in a heartbeat. Beef Tenderloin Super Bowl: 7.5/10 ($23.95) Cooked exactly to medium-rare, which was impressive because I often find this overcooked at other restaurants. The beef was tender and flavorful. I would have rated it higher if it had arrived warmer. It tasted great, but it seemed like it had been sitting for a bit before being served. Ambiance: The space is really pretty, with soft lighting that creates a cozy atmosphere. I loved the décor and the touches of greenery. It felt inviting and comfortable. The server was super friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which added a lot to the overall experience. Another great feature is that they're open super late (until 4 AM). I came around 2 AM, and it was still extremely lively. Unfortunately: -The utensils given were a bit oily and didn't feel fully clean. -The bathroom was somewhat messy, and some patrons were banging on doors and yelling, likely coming in from a night out, which made it a little uncomfortable. -Two men were urinating right outside the establishment, which was very off-putting and detracted from the otherwise nice environment. -There was an automatic 18% gratuity applied to the entire order. Overall, it had great food and atmosphere, especially for late-night dining, but a few cleanliness and behavior issues prevent me from giving it a perfect score.

WOW! This small LA chain cranks tasty flavorful Brazilian dishes for shockingly affordable prices for Los Angeles! Staff is friendly all around, ambience is simple Brazilian themed decor in a bright open modern environment. $12 3 Crispy, Deep Fried Brazilian Pastries, we got the chicken and beef, both were fantastic! $16 Chicken Bowl...two firm, juicy, tender chicken thighs grilled perfectly and sensationally seasoned with a secret mix of Brazilian spices. These float on top of a colorful and flavorful mix of Brazil sides including roast veggies, black beans, collard greens, roasted potatos, salsas...all floating on some wild quinoa, absorbing all those heavenly flavors form above. YUM! $21 Traditional Brazilian Chicken plate...two firm, juicy, tender chicken thighs grilled perfectly and sensationally seasoned with a secret mix of Brazilian spices(copy paste!). Side of sweet plantains, roasted veggies, and a cup of Brazilian Feijoada: hot Black Bean Stew simmered with Smoked Pork and Beef, and a secret blend of Brazilian spices. YUM! $6 Orange Cake...a lovely light cake for dessert! BONUS: This location is open till 4am...love that!

I love Bossa Nova! It's Brazilian Cuisine done LA style. It's a chain with several locations throughout LA but this is a bigger one in Hollywood on Sunset ave. The restaurant is pretty spacious and we were sat immediately upon entering. Their menu has lots of items, everything from chicken, to steak, to seafood, and even lots of vegetarian items. It can almost feel hard to know what to choose, because everything looks so delicious, and that is probably because it is! We ended up getting 2 items off the Grill menu. The best part of the grill menu is that each item comes with 3 sides. We ended up sharing some seared salmon and the ""Picanha Coullote" Steak. Got it with sides of plantains, mixed veggies, rice, beans, sweet potato fries, etc. The meats were grilled and seasoned to perfection. The Coulloute steak was very juicy and had lots of umami flavor. Even the sides were super tasty. Those fried plaintains were no joke! I also loved the sweet potato fries. They are just very good at delivering clean, bright flavors and fresh food. The service was great, our food came out quick and hot. I would love to keep coming back until I can try everything on their menu (there's so many great options to choose from).

Ended up here on whim on a Friday night around 8:30 pm. Our group of four was quickly seated indoors. As a group we started with the Pao de Queijo and the Fried Yucca - both were great starters. I had Andrea's salad for dinner and added chicken. Wow, the salad was wonderful and the portion was large enough for two. One issue was my husband's meal was delayed, but our server Noeli was apologetic and attentive and even provided a free dessert for our troubles. Overall good experience, great staff and flavorful food. Would definitely come back to try more of the expansive menu.

Wowzer....Been over thirteen years since my last Bossa Nova meal but one my my son's favorite spots while in town visiting him!!! Pleasantly surprised still around and still a few locations to choose from. We visited the Hollywood spot because of close proximity to family but parking is super challenging!! Food was good as remembered but not sure if it's me snd my old aging palate but everything seemed overly salty? We had the Shrimp and chips, beef and egg Pastel, Feijoada bowl, Bossa burger and Bossa Mac n Cheese!! Again all good but Mac n Cheese was a clear winner!! Sooo delicious creamy but crunchy and just yummy!!!

Bossa Nova was a great late night stop. I went around one in the morning after some bars and the garlic pepper fries hit perfectly. They were hot, flavorful, and exactly what I needed. I also got the carbonara with chicken and it was surprisingly great for such a late hour. The chicken was solid and not chewy at all, and the pasta with the creamy carbonara sauce was delightful. Service was great with no complaints. Overall, a strong late night meal that I would definitely get again.

Wow. This restaurant was definitely a 5 star experience!!! The hostess was very kind and welcoming, and we were seated to our liking based on availability. Everything on the menu seemed delicious, but I went to look at the seasonal menu!!! From there I got the short rib pasta, which came with linguine (chosen by me). It was delicious and filling!!! I tried so hard to clear it but I was left with some leftover meat pieces. Fried calamari (my favorite appetizer to order) was our starter and it was breaded well and very crispy. I enjoyed the presentation of the fried calamari and really liked it. It was weird there were a few lemon slices fried with the batch too, and I didn't eat them since it was strange. Parking was very convenient (and free!!) with a mid-sized lot in the back, sharing spots with other businesses. From an angle, you can enjoy the view of the cityscape and there are even balcony seats to enjoy from. Anyways, I know I would love to come back here again!!

I was so excited about getting back to Bossa Nova that I forgot to take a lot of photos this time. I was introduced to Bossa Nova back in 2011 when I worked for Grindr which at the time was based nearby in the 6725 Sunset building. I come to LA about 3-4 times a year and have been back here on just about every trip to LA since that time. To be quite honest, I am OBSESSED with the Coxinha, and that's why I keep coming back, but the rest of the menu is incredible, which is a plus. i've loved everything I've tried thus far, but I keep gravitating back towards the Goat Cheese Pizza. My friend Billy had the Chicken Caesar Wrap and loved it. The service is always fantastic and the staff always polite and attentive, but not too overly attentive. I have sent many friends this way and will continue to do so, and as you can tell from this review, I will be back!

I had a late-night craving and this was one of only spots open for something sweet at 11 PM; we got dressed and came here. I tried the guava cheesecake and the banana xango - wow. The banana xango is a banana cheesecake wrapped in a flaky pastry and it was amazing. And the guava cheesecake? A solid 10/10. We had already eaten dinner, so we only ordered dessert with drinks this time, but I can't wait to come back and try more.

What catches my attention is that the menu has tons of variety, and so far the quality and taste of the food is always wonderful and consistent. Lets not include the service phenomenal!!!! Have not been disappointed once. Overall still think that lasagna is my favorite along with their cappuccino and salads!!! See you again Bossa Nova!!!!

Bossa Nova never disappoints! So happy to have a late night spot in Hawthorne other than fast food. The Rosada pasta is my favorite, but I also love the Penne Al Pesto, Penne Arrabiata, Picanha, and the Burger and Fries. The Pão de queijo is so good, and I always order a Guarana soda to drink. Best late night meal in Hawthorne!

This location has security I'm assuming it's based on the location. You can find meter parking if lucky just pay attention to street signs . Food was good but plate setting seemed very very plain now. I kept thinking to myself did something change over the years but I noticed now they don't care much about plate setting . Just pasta in a bowl like something I can make at home . Next the waiter had the nerves to say "this is the suggested tip amount since you want to leave a tip in cash " I just hate when a waiter ask for a tip or tell me the amount I should leave especially when we hardly seen him . People shouldn't expect a big tip if they hardly did any type of work . I don't go to work expecting anything extra beside a thank you . Some people in the food industry begin to expect tips after a while regardless of service.

Food is good. Much better to eat there than pickup. Food is never ready even close to when you say, on a busy night pad a 30/45 min in addition to quoted time, which already isn't short. But also I've picked up on a slow night and it's 35min behind when they said it would be ready. No apologies. Terrible customer service even when you tip 20% on a to go order. It's why I don't order often to go there. Not sure where is the disconnect is.

Management needs to correct this wrong. Came here at 4:00 am to pick up an order placed before the designated closing time. When I arrived, the place was locked and appeared closed, but it looked like the chef was still cooking something. And that something was small bread bites for himself and the other worker. As they feast on their snack, they completely ignore my knocks . Eventually the chef turns around , waves at me and laughs. Call me old fashion, but I'd submit mocking customers is not a good idea. It is a disgrace to not honor the order whilst they're still cooking something (albeit for themselves). It's extremely poor etiquette. Out of deference, they should have at least unlocked the door and properly explained to me the situation; maybe Treat me like a human being.

Thoroughly enjoyed my meal here when I was in town and definitely recommend. I believe they have at least three locations in the city and I hear it's especially popular with the late night crowd after night clubbing. I see why. The menu is diverse enough to please a crowd and soak up all that alcohol you've just been imbibing. My friend and I went during more quieter hours in the after noon where we had our pick of tables. Decor is rustic. There are patio, dining room and backyard seating options. My friend had a big salad and added grilled chicken. I had the Alfredo pasta and added grilled shrimp. It was so delicious I ate the whole thing and that's rare for me.

Oh wow this spot was amazing! I've never officially checked this out but I've always heard the name. So happy to finally have as my friend loves this spot. We were seated immediately and the interior is cozy. They have outdoor seating available too but it was cold so we were all indoors. My friend's go-to was the beef stroganoff pasta.I had a taste of hers and really loved the sauce. She enjoys pairing the dish with white rice. I got the seafood pasta and loved how creamy and delicious the pasta was. There were a lot of salmon pieces mixed in, and the shrimp was deliciously juicy due to the pasta sauce. I found this plate to be extremely heavy and had to bring some home for leftovers. When the pasta cools and you microwave it for the next day however, they do end up with that oiliness around the noodles and plate. I would personally try to finish the entire pasta fresh at the dine-in next time before it gets to that state. We got street parking to eat here but there is valet service I believe to park in the lot. Our server was also very attentive and continuously checked on us during our meal. I heavily appreciate her concern for making sure the dishes were free from nuts (my allergy) and telling me the ingredients to make sure it was safe for me.

I have visited this spot a couple of times and the atmosphere is so laid-back even though it's on Sunset Boulevard but once you're getting inside, you don't really think about where you are. On the backside of the patio there is a great view of Los Angeles. The food is amazing And the service is top-notch. I ended my meal with the Keylime tart. There are no words to describe the party that went on inside after the first bite! They have several treats to choose from! You will not be disappointed

One of my favorite restaurants in Hollywood. It's a Hollywood staple. Boss Nova never misses. Always solid Brazilian fusion food. Excellent pasta dishes, steak plates, wood-fire pizzas, appetizers, etc. My favorite pizza is the mushroom truffle. Carbonara pasta is a must-try! They also have bowls, crafted cocktails and more. No reservations needed and parking is usually easy to find. Staff is friendly and the ambiance is modern and chill. Highly recommend Bossa Nova!

So this is my second time at bossa nova. Iryna, our server, was phenomenal. Professional, right to the point and hard-working. Her timing to the table was on point. We enjoyed the pub steak and the Coloutte- AMAZING!! There was so much food we did not have room for dessert. And that just means we're gonna have to come back for the signature flan and chocolate cheesecake.

I went to Bossanova tonight after getting off work at 3 AM. I've eaten here before and have had some issues in the past, but I didn't have many healthy vegan or vegetarian options available at that hour, so I reluctantly decided to go. I ordered the vegetarian bowl and clearly asked for no mushrooms and extra collard greens. I was substituting the mushrooms for the collard greens, not adding anything extra. Still, they charged me for the collard greens, which made no sense. I voiced my concern, but reluctantly agreed to the charge since they were busy. I was told it would be a 30-minute wait. After waiting the full 30 minutes, I asked about my order. The woman who had been helping me got distracted and started assisting another group, which frustrated me, but I stayed calm. I eventually found another worker to help track down my food. When I finally got it, I checked it on the spot because of past issues, and sure enough, it had mushrooms throughout. So now I had waited 30 minutes, paid extra for a substitution, been ignored, and received the wrong order. I went back and explained the situation. A male employee was helpful and took the bowl back to correct it. I waited another five minutes, received the new order, checked it again, and now it had no collard greens at all. Instead, they added extra beans. At this point, it felt like I was being messed with. I went back a third time and explained everything again. After another five minutes, I finally got a bowl that looked right. I double-checked it and it seemed okay. I just got home and I'm about to eat it, hoping it was worth the headache. I do plan to return in the future because I like the food when it's done right, but tonight was extremely disappointing. I don't think it's unreasonable to expect to get what I actually ordered. I was patient, respectful, and clear about what I wanted. This kind of experience should not be normalized. I hope someone in management reads this and takes real steps to improve the service.

Food was so amazing! We had the seasonal fish and bacon wrapped medallions and both were amazing! Sixto provided exceptional customer service! He helped me pick an amazing drink flavor. Would recommend this place and Sixto's service.

During my visit to Bossa Nova, I experienced some of the worst service I've had at a restaurant. Our server Martin (pictured below) never came to take our food order after getting our drinks, leaving us waiting for an unreasonably long time before we had to flag the manager down to take our order. Throughout the meal, there was no effort to check on us, refill drinks, or ensure we had what we needed. To make matters worse, the food took an excessive amount of time to arrive, with no updates or apologies for the delay. It felt like we had been completely forgotten, and by the end of the meal, I was beyond frustrated. When I finally asked for the bill, I requested to speak with the manager, hoping to share my concerns so the service could improve in the future. Instead of listening and acknowledging the issue, the manager immediately dismissed my experience, insisting that the server was great and implying that my complaint wasn't valid. I wasn't looking for a free meal--I simply wanted my feedback to be taken seriously so that others wouldn't have to deal with the same poor service. Instead, I left feeling unheard and disappointed, with no confidence that anything would change. I WILL NOT BE BACK

Brazilian cuisine! The truffle pasta was so good. I would get that again! Pizza was great-love how cheesy it is! The bowl was good too, but the portion was a little big. It contained many ingredients-quinoa, sweet potato, beans, etc. I would recommend this if you are sharing and are health-conscious. There is indoor seating but we got sat on the balcony where we can see the parking lot. You can admire cars and watch people park haha

It was okay.... I went to one downtown and the energy of the staff and the food was well seasoned. The other one even gave me a choice if I wanted it spice or not. Here it was take your order and move on. I had the signature pasta

Food was excellent. The Camarao a Brasileria especially, and the sangria hit! Alex Miranda is the man, though! Great service, great recommendations, great personality, very chill and laid back ambiance on a Monday afternoon during lunchtime! Will be back!

i went here with my gf for a date and we went on a weekend night, but got seated immediately! the restaurant seemed very full with families, old couples, friend groups, etc,, so this place is perfect if you're looking to get some pasta! we had 1 appetizer: fried calamari and 1 pasta: pesto pasta - we had leftover pasta in the end the appetizer & pasta were both really good, i would say that the appetizer was just a well done calamari (4.5/5) but the pasta (5/5) blew me away! especially considering that we stumbled upon this restaurant, we weren't sure what to expect for the food, but it was soo good and the pasta proportion was very good! we would come again for the pasta for sure & we want to try new dishes! our servers were very attentive and came to check on us.
