NYC: Casa; restaurant review

appetizing plate at Casa in NYC

Casa 

72 Bedford St./Commerce St., West Village, 212-366-9410. D daily, Sat-SunBr; $$$. 

Located on what must surely be one of the most charming streets in NYC, this delightful venue presents regional Brazilian cuisine in a cozy home-like setting complete with lace-edged white placemats. Do start your meal at Casa with a passion fruit-.lime caipirinha made from cachasa--a Brazilian rum-like liquor. The Brazilian national dish, feijoada, is a favorite. Diners compose their own plate from a cast-iron pot of black beans mixed with meats and a platter overflowing with orange segments, white rice, garlicky collard greens, and farofa (crumby cassava meal). Bobo de camarao (prawns in a coconut-milk-yucca puree) and pan-fried fish with fried bananas are also choice, and the menu offers many more intriguing options. Superb housemade rolls are complimentary.
