Went to Bossa Nova for the first time last night and I have to say, I LOVED IT! The food was OMG! We had a series of appetizers, starting with garlic shrimp, chicken fingers and bacon wrapped chicken with Gorgonzola sauce. OMG, the sauce was slap yo mama good, I was licking my fingers which is something I hardly ever... More

Been there three times. Once it was excellent, once average and one not too hot. Best time to go is apparently at lunchtime. Our server was informative and friendly. Knew her food. More

I used to work in Hollywood and used to go to Bossa Nova often. My favorite meal is the Smoked Salmon Pizza. My mouth is watering thinking about it. Most everything I have eaten there was good. There is a salad with scallops and goat cheese that is to die for. Great place for people watching, and you might spot... More

When you call Bossa Nova, the first thing you hear is "Welcome to the Bossa Nova, located on Hollywood". Well, we drove and drove up and down Hollywood Blvd. but were unable to locate the restaurant. We finally gave up and went back to a friend's apartment, only to find out that the restaurant is actually on Sunset Blvd. So,... More

We went here just for the chicken brochette appetizer. It is always amazing. The rest of the menu looked great as well. We went to another place for dinner and I wish we would have stayed here. The restaurant was busy but service was still attentive and friendly. Hostess was very welcoming upon our arrival. More
