This was our first time for Portuguese food and we are hooked. We had a couple small plates & one large plate, plus a great wine & beer. Besides excellent food, there was also the great waiter named David. A great neighborhood gem.
It was a wonderful evening at Uma Casa. The staff was prompt, friendly, and attentive.
Food:
The carne Porco alentejana (braised pork with potatoes and clams) was excellent! Lots of flavor and cooked to perfection. The salada de mariscos (seafood salad) was also a top choice! The only critique I had for the seafood salad was a little less garbanzo beans - I prefer less quantity overall but at least have more of the seafood.
Drink:
Highly recommend Papa Figos as a red dinner wine and Justinos Madeira wine.
Amazing food! Every dish was incredible. Highly recommend! The Bolinhos de Bacalhao was to die for.
From the food, to the wine, to the service, to the atmosphere, everything was fantastic! I highly recommend the seafood stew and the braised short rib. It's truly a real gem nestled in a quaint neighborhood in San Francisco.

Delicious! The caldo verde was out of this world. We celebrated 3 birthdays and enjoyed everything we ate. The wine, the food and the service couldn't have been better. Our son's even got a special plate of linguica for their picky Portuguese palates and ate it with delight. The bacalahua à Gomes de Sá is perfection.
This place is amazing!! Every dish was delicious!! Such great flavor and beautiful presentation!! We will definitely be back!! ♥️❤️♥️❤️
Loved the fact all plates on the menu were Portuguese. Food was excellent and the athomosphere even better. Definitely will recommend to friends and family
Great food, beautiful Portuguese cuisine, nice atmosphere and the best!!! is the attention of the Chefs and the staff. Many Thanks. Love

Everything was fantastic, the service, the ambiance and especially the food!! Highly recommend the Bacalhau À Bráz, it was absolutely amazing. Also, if you like a little kick, their piri piri sauce becomes addicting fast, wish I could have bottled it up to take home. And last but not least, it was nice and refreshing that the owner came around to make sure everyone was happy and satisfied, it gave the whole experience a nice personable touch. Muito Bom!!
Excellent Portuguese food and great ambiance, recommend the sardines and bolinhos de bacalhau, the bacalhau Gomes de sá and the arroz de pato, excellent wine from the Douro region, finish it with a pastel de Belem and Porto! Cheers
This restaurant is wonderful! My family dined there on Mother’s Day. The staff was friendly and personable and the food was delicious. I’m definitely coming back to experience it again! Obrigado �
Had a couple appetizers/ small plates. Bread and butter (a weakness of mine) was a nice departure from the norm with the flavored butters. There was also a chic pea and seafood salad with shrimp, octopus and mussels that was amazing. The pork and clams dish was excellent. If you haven't had pork and clams it's a perfect pairing. For desert I had the chocolate mousse. Nice chewy cookie with a some light fluffy mousse. I will be back for more of everything.
I am happy to find this restaurant - Uma Casa in San Francisco, happy to be here anytime for Portuguese food. It's not Fernando's, and not the beach front restaurant in Macau. It's also not in Europe too. This is a very American version of Portuguese cuisine, the food is very good. I really like it! 😋
Telmo and Uma Casa staff,
The food, the champagne, the service, and the atmosphere was outstanding. Thank you for an amazing experience. We’ll be back many more times.
From the time we pulled up to the exit, everything was fabulous. I have now found my favorite Bacalhau (cod fish casserole ) and Croquettes de Bacalhau. And the white wine sangria was the perfect drink for a warm summer day. Did I mention the homemade bread, butter and jam.....OMG. I will definitely return, next time will be dinner.
First time wirh my co worker. food & cocktail are great! And not to forget all 6 desert are phenomenon! I will definitely go back and this time with my family.
Food was excellent from the Caldo Verde soup to the Carne de Porco Aletjana to the Pastel de Nata.
Great atmosphere, great customer service, shout out to our waiter Pablo.
Uma Casa was fantastic! It brings me back to my grandmother's kitchen, cooking all the good food. Bacalhau was delicious!
Great food and service. Very comfortable environment. The tastes reminded me of all the Portuguese gatherings I’ve been to since meeting my fabulous wife.
Wonderful Portuguese restaurant had a great meal with friends. Highly recommended for a taste of Portugal

Everything so delicious
Very friendly casual dining
Food was fresh and drinks solidly refreshing
Run, don't walk, to this restaurant as soon as possible. This is not just a neighborhood restaurant. This is a destination. We traveled from Sacramento and will definitely be there many more times...and we'll bring friends.
The food was excellent and the service was superb. I can't wait to go back and I urge anyone who wants some good Portuguese food to make a reservation.
It was a very enchanted evening at Uma Casa. I really believe I was enjoying an excellent meal in Lisboa. Thank you so much.
I am a full blooded Portuguese woman raised on Portuguese food and I loved every bite! Just like mom makes. ❤️❤️
Excelente comida! Bom serviço! Fiquei fan. O chef Telmo foi uma simpatia. Quando saí estava completamente cheio. A repetir! Parabéns!
Some friends took us to this restaurant and it was amazing! I'm Portuguese and I love the fresh twist put on traditional Portuguese dishes!
Very nice restaurant , Excellent food and service , highly
Recommend!!
We had a truly delightful dining experience at Uma Casa. The service was top-notch, the food was absolutely delicious, and the ambiance was wonderfully relaxed. The cocktail menu is delightful. The menu selection stood out, offering a fantastic assortment of Portuguese flavors that we thoroughly enjoyed. Uma Casa is a fantastic spot for a memorable dinner outing.
Our early dinner in Uma Casa was ok, the food was hit-or-miss, seafood lovers enjoyed the experience greatly, and the sardines dish was the highlight (while the chicken was very salty, the salad and the cocktail we tried were blend). Our server unfortunately overcomplicated things and despite us asking her to just bring everything as it was ready, she chose to divide the meal into 3 parts, which caused an awkward situation of 3 people waiting for 1 to finish a dish, or one person not eating at all till mains were served. The atmosphere is nice and this feels like a cute neighborhood spot, but we will not be coming back...
Food, wine, beer, dessert and service were exceptional. Our waitress was highly knowledgeable of all the food and beverages. I went there for the seafood, but will definitely be back to try the meat dishes.
The brazed boneless short rib was a delicious main entree and super tender. I also enjoyed the octopus with the chimichurri finish but the garbanzo beans seemed a bit lacking in flavor. The caldo verde (green soup) reminded me of home cooked soup which was very nice. The vibes were great, with great decor and design. I've never been to Portugal so I can't say much in the way of authentic design but I imagine that was the aim for the vibe and it felt great. As for drinks, the sangria was fragrant but lacking in robust fruity flavors. I would recommend trying their Porra Tonta which is apparently a traditional cocktail and very delicious with lots of passion fruit flavor.
Great food, lovely atmosphere. Little pricey but it is a good treat. I came here for my birthday for their prix fixe menu and for $55 I was super pleased with the amount of food I got.

The main reason I wanted to go there was to try their pastéis de bacalhau, traditional Portuguese codfish fritters, caldo verde - Portuguese Green soup, Sardinhas Grelhadas - Grilled Sardines. Pastéis de bacalhau - The texture of bacalhau was so spongy, stringy. What a perfect combination of potato and cod! Potato flavor is not overpowering. it was perfectly juicy cod with well preserved saltiness.
Caldo Verde - as it boils, it gets more intense. hint of sourness, starchiness of potato make your belly warm. It was great starter!
Sardinhas Grelhadas - i love the way they grill(or broil) the fish.
I am not sure if they have Churrasco cooking method.
anyway, I know that one of the hardest thing of grilling Sardine is to get rid of the odor, unpleasant fishy smell from sardine. Sardine that was so meaty, juicy, oily, has lots of grilled flavor.
Arroz De Marisco - Seafood was so freshly good! Unlike Spanish Paella, It is not completely reduced. it is almost like thickened rice and seafood stew. There was so much seafoods - clams, cod, shrimp you can taste in one plate.
Frango piri-piri - it is like more Mozambican food. But It was so remarkable!!
The last but not least, Their aioli is so second to none such as Cilantro aioli, spicy Piri-Pri aioli.
Great food. I had the tomato and sweet potato as a starter, then the delicious Porco à Alentejana for main course and also tried the Pastel de Santa Clara for dessert. Dessert was on point with sweetness and had a yummy ice cream with it. The pork was delicious with clams on top, amazing potatoes, definitely a hearty comfort food. I tried one of their drinks, “Porra Tonta” if I recall it well, it was very light and refreshing. Only thumbs down go for how noisy it gets in the restaurant, acoustics could be better but foodwise is very good.
The sheer amount of noise made conversation very hard but that's the main ding, which isn't bad. The service was good & props to the kitchen for accommodating special requests. Everything quite delicious with a very elegant & modern take on Portuguese food. My short ribs were heavenly & the pasteis de bacalhau was light & crunchy take on the bacalauitos I'm more familiar with. The Arroz de Pato was wonderful, the saltiness of the duck breast injecting a bright note of flavor into the rice fritter.
I highly recommend.
The bartender was great and talked to me about soccer, food was super delightful and the atmosphere was pretty with Portuguese romance/mystery Playing
There's a good vibe, there's good food, but not the best Portuguese food you've ever had.
