Alianca Restaurant

"Another of those places that fool you on the outside but known to the locals. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Decided to eat on the bar side, and the clients were super friendly. Daily specials follow the a portuguese food tradition, with a twist."

"Tried it for the 1st time, and I'm so glad that we did. New favorite restaurant as the service is amazing. Nice gem of a find and will be going back. It's no wonder they are always busy. You are definitely going to enjoy the food."

"Wonderful. Parking is difficult but worth the aggravation. The servers were so warm and friendly. I had felt a little uneasy in the tight congested neighborhood but they out me at ease and made me feel so welcome. The shrimp Mozambique is life changing and far better than Antonio's nearby. Antonio's is also charming and good but for shrimp Mozambique I give Alianca the crown. I also had an Azorean steak that cut like butter and melted in the mouth. The pumpkin cheesecake was a great cap to my meal. If I was driving past New Bedford, I would make a special detour to go here again."

"Honestly wasn't impressed. The last few times I've gone, the food quality has gone down. Just went tonight to have dinner with my mom and my kids and we split the fisherman's platter. The batter on ours and even my son's fish and chips tasted old and the oil it was cooked in as well. the service was not good at all. The girls are very good and friendly but for some reason the guy that works there just seems like he cannot be bothered or just doesn't take hints when the food is done or refills are needed. The tables are small and have limited room as is so more swift service would be appreciated. I've gone here for years and I know Suzie has worked very hard so that's why the last two times have been so disappointing."
