I have driven past Bossa Nova on 10982 W. Pico Blvd. a million times, and have never considered walking in. Funny enough, I hang out at Westside Pavillion quite often and eat at the restaurant next door (Hop Woo) all the time! Alas, I finally stumbled across this restaurant online and had the courage to dine there. Here was my first thought after the meal...Why haven't I eaten here before?!! It was sooo good! Immediately when you sit down, you should order a dozen of the Pao de Queijo (Cheese Bread). This literally melts in your mouth! If your out not counting calories, I would definitely recommend the Chicken Brochette appetizer made with fried chicken wrapped in bacon on a bed of gorgonzola cream sauce. I know it sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen, but its so f*ing delicious! For dinner, the Picahna Steak served with white rice, black beans and plantain is a must. Oddly enough, some people go there for pizza and pasta...please stick to the Brazilian menu! Its so much better! Two things to note: First, I suggest dining there during their happy hour (M-F, 3pm to 7pm) for discounted drinks and appetizers. Second, keep in mind the parking is difficult :-( For more information about additional locations and the menu, check out their website at http://www.bossanovafood.com/
