Our Story
Rooted in Tradition, Served with Passion
A Dream Brought to the Table
Assado Portuguese Steakhouse was born from the vision of Wilson DeSousa, a proud Livingston resident with deep Portuguese roots. After a decade of working in the restaurant industry, he opened Assado to bring authentic Portuguese flavors to his community. His dream was simple share the cuisine he grew up with, in a place that feels like home. Today, that dream lives on in every dish we serve.
Tradition in Every Bite
Our menu reflects the bold, comforting flavors of traditional Portuguese cuisine. From flame-grilled steaks to seafood dishes, everything is crafted with care and heritage. Assado is proudly BYOB, giving you the freedom to pair your favorite wine with our rich, flavorful offerings. It's not just a meal, it's a taste of Portugal, prepared with soul.
