Tried it for the 1st time, and I’m so glad that we did. New favorite restaurant as the service is amazing. Nice gem of a find and will be going back. It’s no wonder they are always busy. You are definitely going to enjoy the food.

The food was excellent. The server tended to focus on other customers and we didn’t even get the slate with wine list so we drank water. I had planned on getting wine but seems like she didn’t care for us as customers. The stuffed fish was excellent but would have been better with wine. It was my first experience there since I just moved to New Bedford.

Wonderful. Parking is difficult but worth the aggravation. The servers were so warm and friendly. I had felt a little uneasy in the tight congested neighborhood but they out me at ease and made me feel so welcome. The shrimp Mozambique is life changing and far better than Antonio’s nearby. Antonio’s is also charming and good but for shrimp Mozambique I give Alianca the crown. I also had an Azorean steak that cut like butter and melted in the mouth. The pumpkin cheesecake was a great cap to my meal. If I was driving past New Bedford, I would make a special detour to go here again.

This little restaurant is a hidden gem if you like Portuguese food! Homey European Cafe style dining and a lounge area. I suggest reservations for Fridays and weekends. Daily specials are awesome and the prices are very reasonable. They also have my favorite dessert.. Passion Fruit Mousse. Soooo good!

Honestly wasn’t impressed. The last few times I’ve gone, the food quality has gone down. Just went tonight to have dinner with my mom and my kids and we split the fisherman’s platter. The batter on ours and even my son’s fish and chips tasted old and the oil it was cooked in as well. the service was not good at all. The girls are very good and friendly but for some reason the guy that works there just seems like he cannot be bothered or just doesn’t take hints when the food is done or refills are needed. The tables are small and have limited room as is so more swift service would be appreciated. I’ve gone here for years and I know Suzie has worked very hard so that’s why the last two times have been so disappointing.

Placed a large order of food for a family event and it was ready for pick up when promised. All the food was outstanding and still hot when served. I will definitely use Allianca for future events as well as dining in the restaurant.
