Reviews for Fado Portuguese Cuisine in St. Petersburg, FL
I went to this restaurant for the first time with my husband and my friend. A very nice simple elegant restaurant. The... authentic Portugal dishes were amazing and delicious! The hospitality of the servers and owners was so refreshing andunexpected. We plan on coming back for certain. Read more
Service very very slow. Our server never came to check up to see if we needed refills we had to ask for them. We ordered water... without ice and she brought it with ice so we had to remind her. Also my husband ordered the steak dish and she came 5 minutesafter taking the order to let him know that there was no more meat. Really you are left qithout meat on a Saturday. Overalloverpriced for what they offer especially their service. The place is very nice decorated. Read more
The food was absolutely exquisite! This is Portuguese cuisine at it?s best! If you like octopus, you will completely fall in... love with their take on it. Juicy and cooked to perfection with spices that compliment the delicate dish. The Pasteis De Belemis a dessert worthy of 5 stars alone- do not miss out on this egg custard tart! Read more
The food was delicious and authentic. Service was impeccable as our server, Andreas, often said, "this is your house take your... time" He offered advice for the menu, asked questions on taste and preference and made us feel welcome. He was amazing. Betweenthe service and the food we absolutely plan to go back. Read more
Authentic Portuguese cuisine, the most succulent, buttery Polvo/Octopus I?ve ever had, and I try it whenever on a menu. The... owners father is the Executive Chef and taught his team well. Sat at the Bar, service was very prompt and friendly. I love theFado music and told they have live music planned in January. Accessible parking, entrance and rest areas. My new favorite place,I?ll be back often. Read more

First off, the review is about service, the food is ok... The restaurant was busy and lively. Can't wait to taste the food from... those great reviews. We got the table and shortly after, the tables in front and behind us also got seated. Got our drinks andappetizer quickly, and the table behind us got the same flaming appetizer. Then we waited for 30 minutes and no entrees, noexplanation from server. Waived to the server and told the food is fresh and will take time? Then saw the table behind us gottheir entrees served. Another 15 minutes, waived the server again, and was told soon. Another 15 minutes later, the tablebehind us got their dessert. Waived the manager as server can't be found, and said pack ours to go as I have an event to attend. Another 15 minutes later, got our order and left the restaurant. I can only guess they forgot the orders but not willing totell the truth. 1 hour 15 minutes between appetizer and entrees? The sad thing is manager knows about it and he didn't try tomake it right. I got the feeling that you are lucky to be here and we serve you food when we get to it. Read more
We had the best service! Definitely worth the $200 dinner for 2. I think the food could be better and the atmosphere is basic.... Up the game for this cost in this location. That's why it always fails there ....think outside of the box. Make it an experiencedestination Read more
