We've visited this establishment many times. This trip included a party of 8. The food was good -- nice and filling. The service was thorough, pleasant and professional. There was live music and television screens around the restaurant.

Great food, service, and atmosphere, parking is available in front of parking lots as tip based. Fraldinha/ skirt steak 45$ a plate. Milk flan is good and can feed 2 people.

Casa Nova Grill (Brazilian Rodizio) is a wonderful place to go with family. We were well taken care of and the staff was friendly and professional. Our food was delicious. I had the paella and it was full of seafood 😋 It’s a bit far from the train station if you’re walking but definitely a place to experience delicious Brazilian cuisine!

Average overall. As with all Brazilian BBQ, it's a place to load up on your meat. The choices were hot or miss. From perfectly cooked sirloin to almost burnt sausages and clearly blue meat. The food kept coming for a while but the service was patchy. We were given a dessert menu at the end but no one followed up, so we skipped it. I'm not sure there's better Brazilian BBQ places in the ironbound. If not, that's sad.

Tried Brazilian Rodizio for the first time and had a mixed experience. The salad bar offered a variety of options but was disappointed by the dried and hard mini pizza and the less-than-fresh vegetables. During happy hour, the $3.99 beer price was a highlight. The rodizio's meat-serving performance was interesting and enjoyable. However, most of the rodizio meats were salty and tasted similar, which made their mouth tired of the same flavors. Despite this, overall experience was cool and memorable.

Excellent place for a casual dinner, meeting date. If you want to make it extra special, Saturday nights live music is magical.

Great food! Very comfortable and cozy intimate setting. Food comes out very fast and fresh for Rodizio and the salad bar was very good it’s like you can get an entire entree in the salad bar alone. Me and my wife had a great time only negative is the parking but I soon figured out you can park at the bank across the street.
