Petiscos are as much a cultural reference as they are a small snack accompanied by drinks. They're fun and approachable'designed to be shared among good friends and family'so it goes without saying that this spot, complete with a bar, knows how to welcome guests.'Authentically prepared dishes highlight the flavors of Portugal and feature imported ingredients. The rustic, home-style cooking includes favorites such as broa, a traditional cornbread, and lupini beans, codfish croquettes and a tender octopus salad that is a meal unto itself. Slivers of braised pig ears are tossed with a lively citrus and herb dressing and perfectly paired with cilantro and parsley, and'the golden-brown grilled sardines are a pleasure.
