A Tasca in Corby

I had been told good things regarding A Tasca. Overpriced bland food. Need to up their game as better places to eat in Corby

I really enjoyed my meal. The restaurant is very clean. The menu reminded me of a typical menu in Portugal and the food was as good as any meal I have had in the Algarve. I had garlic prawns to start with. The bread I used to mop up the sauce was just like I have on holiday. I then had their daily special of pork medallions in mushroom sauce, which was delicious. The creme caramel pudding was obviously home made and excellent. I will definitely be eating here again. Don't let the outside put you off what is a great restaurant inside. It is also really good value for money. The service was also great by a lovely waitress, who is from Lisbon.

We had a meal for my partners 40th birthday there was 15 of us. The service was exceptional friendly and very attentive staff. The food was hot, fresh and tasted lovely there was a mixture of meals and every one of them was delicious. Everybody left very happy and will be back Thanks for a lovely evening! X

Visited with a friend to take advantage of the EOTHO incentive and what can i say, The food was absolutely excellent. We were taken care of from the moment we walked in and the place was immaculate. The only thing preventing a 5* review is that no discount was given and when we challenged it they took about 15 minutes to recalculate the bill, which was still not discounted enough. Despite this minor inconvenience however i will be visiting again!

You may be forgiven in thinking of moving on we you arrive at this GEM of a Portuguese restaurant but gladly we read previous reviews and were not disappointed at all! The atmosphere inside was homely like a family atmosphere. The owner welcomed us and gave us great advice on the wine and food which by the way was excellent. Just a slight downer was that although the restaurant was on the goverment Eat Out site, there was no discount given, however if we returned to this area we would still use this lovely friendly restaurant again and cannot complain what with a starter, main,olives and sweet plus a bottle of wine the bill was under £60.

If you’re in or around Corby, make the effort to drive a little way out of the centre to this excellent Portuguese restaurant (and next door cafe). The food is really good, and authentic, and the wines are excellent and reasonably priced. The staff are friendly and helpful. During the week you can probably just turn up, but best to book from Thursday to Sunday.

Possibly the most unprepossessing frontage I've ever seen. In a row of ordinary shops and eateries a gem!! Found on TripAdvisor and well reviewed there. Booked a table and glad I did as although it wasn't full that evening it was 'buzzing' Very welcoming Maitre d'. Good menu. Took us back to our visit to Lisbon a couple of years back; right down to the salted cod and vinho verde! Good food, well cooked great service and good price Well recommended. Just don't judge a book by its cover!

Sea food rice (min for 2 persons) - highly recommend! Small but cosy place and pleasant service. We have had many meals here as a family and as a couple - never disappoints!

Just went there today with the wife I had the chorizo and black pudding then the chicken my wife had the mussels the the chicken as you can tell chicken was special of the day. It was amazing rated so good my only criticism which is tiny is I wish they made there own homemade chilli sauce but still it was lovely and the waiter was really friendly we will be back

We have not been here for a while We were greeted by the friendly waiter and a wave from the kitchen The menu offers early bird deals for, 3 courses under £15 They was ar good choice on the early bird and the standard menu The food arrived in a timely manner Drinks were good Food good maybe next time spend a little more and try thr main menu There is limited parking outside Very friendly and good value

Absolutely fantastic place. never had a bad meal yet very friendly staff. I have lost count how many times I have been in here that's how good it is well done Alfredo and staff.

We were the only ones in the restaurant at lunch time yet we still had to wait ages to be served and even when we were the waiter got our order wrong. The café next door was busy, so I think the waiter was busy in there. If you are going to open the café and the restaurant you need to be able to serve both sets of customers equally. Food is good, but was made to feel very unwelcome so wont be coming back.

This has long been one of my favourite restaurants in Corby. Having not been there for a while I was really looking forward to going back. However, disappointed!!! In fairness, the food was of the same, very high standard but the waiter spent most of his time in the kitchen and, consequently left us waiting. It was not even busy - he had 3 covers including us!! Despite not being busy everything took him an age - even getting our drinks! He did not even bother to come out and ask if our meals were ok or if we needed anything else. Sorry - only tip for him is pay attention to your clients!!

I've been there yesterday with my partner and we couldn't be happier! We are both portuguese and is always a challenge to visit a new portuguese restaurant, but this one is one of the best! We had the monkfish "cataplana" for 2 and was more than enough and the best thing... It was delicious!!! Joao took care of us even that he was alone taking care of the restaurant and coffee shop next door! Great service and delicious food! I hope I can return soon!

I had never been here before but we went for a lovely Friday night dinner. The staff were so attentive, the menu was vast and the restaurant was intimate and welcoming. The waiter was friendly, singing his way around the restaurant and service was outstanding. We started with warm bread and olives, followed by a bbq chicken skewer and a hot sandwich. Desserts were decadent and homely. We will definitely be recommending and returning. Thank you for a perfect evening 😊

They need to update both the internet and door timetable. We went there at 14:20 and they didn't gave us a table (They say they're open until 15:00).

We visited the restaurant last night. We hadn't made a booking but they still accommodated us even though they had a very large party in. Service was great. The restaurant is clean and well decorated. Great selection of food on the menu. My boyfriend had the chicken kebab and said it was really nice. I had the sea bream with salad and potatoes. The fish was lovely and the salad had a very nice dressing on it. One small downside for me was the bones in the fish but that was my own fault for not spotting that the option I choose wasn't filleted. Will definitely return and would recommend to others.

the restaurant closes at 11 o'clock, but at 10:30pm they are sending us away, I asked for a coffee but the answer was that it was not possible because they had already cleaned the machine with leach, leaching is toxic they might want to poison the customers, the waitress, a gentleman who should never work in public because he is very rude, just out of respect for those who were there to have fun is that things were not worse, the price is very high for the amount they serve us because I have been several times in another tavern and things are very different and much better, an advice (hire other employees),

We visited after reading some very positive reviews and having been on holiday in Portugal earlier in the year.

Very good food and friendly owner. They offer slow cooked food, very healthy and delicious. The service is good as well! Highly recommended.

This was our first visit to corby. We had been let down last minute, but ATasca were able to help us out.Great service great authentic Portuguese food. Will go vzvk again

Me and my mum went for dinner. It was a very pleasant experience the staff were second to none providing the best customer service the food was good value for money the establishment was very clean and the atmosphere was relaxed

Me encanta este lugar y hemos estado yendo allí durante unos cuantos años.

The service was fantastic....... the food was so tasty I will be making a return visit with my father in law and his new girlfriend. This was the greatest day of my life.

Este un restaurante fabuloso poco donde siempre son recibidos con una sonrisa amable y atendidos durante su comida. He estado aquí un par de veces y siempre he disfrutado de mi comida. El menú es variado y también ofrece almuerzo/ofertas especiales por la noche así como porciones más pequeñas

Tenía la morcilla y chorizo, que era simple pero delicioso. Plato principal para mayo tuve de cerdo con arroz sultana, que era otra triunfo. Yo volveré a probar el pescado monje con salsa de mostaza.

Nuestro restaurante favorito en Corby! Para empezar el tal langostinos son increíbles! Rompiendo la salsa picante/garlicy con unos 8 rebanadas de pan! El personal es amable, atento y bien informado sobre todos los platos en el menú (como era de esperar) Una buena selección de vinos, se puede conseguir una casa de 500 ml jarra de tinto o blanco por 7 dólares. . A este restaurante. sido unas 10 veces y no me he podido comer un postre porque siempre hemos sido tan completo! Una gran relación calidad-precio y siempre con ganas de volver!

Eight years after this restaurant opened we've finally tried it; actually now twice this year. Modern, simple and clean surroundings. I am no expert in Portuguese food having only been to the country once but they serve dishes, like cataplana that I definitely recognise from my travels. Like the restaurant itself the food is simple but it is extremely tasty. Numerous fish dishes support the traditional meat menu. Having such a choice of fish is a real bonus and at a reasonable price. Overall lovely fresh, home cooked food as far from fast mass produced food as you could get.

Lovely evening and lovely food,service was good, didn't have to wait long highly recommend.we had the cheese and ham starter, then pork in wine sauce with sultana rice and my husband had chicken in white brandy sauce with potatoes.

Last Friday I suggested to my wife and son we would eat out after work We all decided to revisit our local A TascaConvenient seeing we leave on the same road Not too busy and just the rightbalance for one waiter Joao to cope withI opted for the spicy king prawns , spicy with a kick of fresh garlic - very nice once again as i have had it before My wife opted for the mixed meat platter with selection of cheeses and our son opted for garlic bread to start withFor our main we ordered the monk fish , chorizo casserole - served in a traditional copper pot with potatoes - just right for two people as the menu stated Our son went for the ham cheese omelette which was very nicely presented and yummy tooA litre of their house red finished with coffee and their equivalent to amaretto Cannot fault the food- superb!We'll see u again soon The puns

The food is absolutely lovely! We could not fault it at all. The atmosphere is quiet but with an amusing and friendly waiter, who brought a smile to our faces. This is the perfect restaurant if you want a relaxed meal out for two.

I visited with a large group along with someone who is Portuguese and we all loved our meals. Bread to share and olives were provided to start and we shared wine and half of us has starters. Mine was churro and Portuguese black pudding. Very tasty. I then had a porc in sweet wine sauce with sultana rice. The flavours were amazing. Then a traditional soufflé egg white and caramel dessert. The service wasn't the fastest but we were a large table, however when the food did come it all arrived at the same time and was piping hot. Couldn't te combs this place enough. The prices are very reasonable, and there is a good range on of drinks menu too. I was a little disappointed to see an ice cream menu of shop bought things and think that this detracted from the lovely deserts that were on offer on the back of this menu, all of which were Devine. Particularly the grandma, an almondy dessert that was really nice

It's the second time coming here and gotta say exceeding my expectations and I love the food and the staff are smiley which is nice. I ordered a prawn curry and prawn salad was lovely!!!Whenever I'm back in Corby I'll definitely come back again!

We love this restaurant. It is so good. The most delicious traditional Portugese food served with a sort of humble honesty. The premises are lovely, not flash, but very comfortable and immaculately kept. Try the prawns with garlic and chilli. We had extra bread to mop up the sauce. Excellent.

The food was amazing. Restaurant had a lovely friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be visiting again.

For my birthday treat meal l decided to go to A Tasca as I had not been for a long while What I found an air-conditioned restaurant; we got there early so had the choice of table Our host for the evening was excellent they offer an early bird menu at a discount price however we opted for the full menu which catered for all tastes A good choice of drinks to choose from these can be moreish which may bump up the bill To sum up great atmosphere, great food and excellent service Would I go again definitely

Been coming here for a few years now and the food is as good today as it ever was. Basically delicious. Good portions and all freshly cooked to order. So don't expect a fast meal, sit and enjoy !!

We recently used this venue for a business meal for quite a few people. The food had been pre-ordered so the wait was minimal. The food was nice and we had a very good evening. The service was quick and courteous. A nice reminder of my trips to Portugal.

Had a really nice evening at this restaurant. Top class service and excellent food. A good choice on the menu..even fish fingers for the children.

I have been here with my mother and her friends, she does try to go regularly as she loves it. For my fiance it was his first time so hoped he would like it just as much as us. We had a mixed Portuguese starter with bread followed by the steak that you cooked yourself which he really liked. I had the monkfish with mustard sauce which was very good. Bottle of red wine and the total bill came to £46.00. Well worth a visit, the owner is very friendly and helpful (when I wasnt sure which dish to have) Definitely gong back and highly recommended. Even on a Wednesday night there were people on 3 other tables when we arrived at 8pm.

Another fantastic meal. Mouth-wateringly superb food. Very quick service and a very funny owner. The litre carafe of red wine was gorgeous. Wish I had asked what it was.

Optimo serviço de comida portuguesa distante de Portugal com todo o tipo de ingredientes bem portuguese Com um excelente servico e rapido

3 friends & myself visited this little Portuguese restaurant for our monthly get together and we were all impressed with the meals we had. I had monkfish in a mustard based sauce, one had salmon and the other 2 had the same chicken dish. All were served with potatoes, carrots & broccoli and the others seemed to enjoy their meals as much as I did. The service was very friendly and welcoming, just a shame we were the only customers, however, it was a Tuesday night. 4 main meals, 2 desserts, 2 coffees and a litre jug of house wine and a sparkling water, and the total bill was £72, great value for money. We will definitely be returning.

Really good service a nice little restaurant and the service was fast good and attentive . A bit off the beaten track but My wife and I could no fault and would recommend it .

Came here for a birthday meal and had sirloin steak myself and my partner had tuna steak and wanted it well done. Asked for my steak to be medium and it came very well done but the potatoes served with were quite exceptional. The tuna steak was more on the medium side. However, the waiter was delightful and the service was good. Overall the food was okay, nothing special but if you're looking for friendly service, here is good.

Let me start by saying that I had been to this restaurant several times and was extremely happy but have completely changed my opinion due to a poor experience here last night!!!This is a honest review.....The food is nice but very overpriced for what you get, the parking is horrendous around the restaurant and the service received was appalling! Last night I went to this restaurant with my husband it was 6.30pm and there were 2 other couples already seated in the restaurant. We were welcomed by the waiter (or owner whatever he was) saying "Oi" and then asked us if we had booked. To this we responded that we hadn't and was told we could not eat here as they were fully booked, yet they were nearly all empty tables!! How very disappointing as I had previously recommended this restaurant to my friends and family, it's very safe to say that if you don't mind being spoken to like a stray dog then this is a good place to go. I will NEVER be returning here again!!!

Friendly singular member of staff, I ordered 'Portuguese mixed savouries' as a starter. Very overpriced for the four, small average tasting savouries, although, the prawn one was only cooked on the outside, whilst it was still icy cold in the center. The one member of staff who was 'serving' was no where to be found, to the point where we had to knock on the kitchen door to get someone's attention. The savoury was replaced quickly, however, as the chef continued to occasionally stare through the window at us it made me feel a little uncomfortable. The mains were also pretty average. Overall, the poor experience left me a little disappointed as reviews on TripAdvisor gave me high expectations which were not met.

Food, blande and overpriced. Went for Valentine's set menus. Soup could have been out a can. Lamb was few cubes and 1/4 packet of uncle Ben's rice. Service very slow. We all went home hungry

Great little place hidden away. Don't be fooled by the exterior, inside is tasteful and welcoming. A party of 6 we had a varied array of starters, mains and desserts. The sardine starter looked amazing, though I had opted for a selection of deep fried fishcake like dipping titbits. Of the mains, the lamb stew was lovely, the veal stroganoff very tender and tasty, and the sea bream plate was plentiful, fresh and cooked to perfection...Yes I tried a bit of them all ... Lol. A good menu selection, and would happily return and try some of their other dishes.

Do not be put off by the slightly run down location, once inside there is a tastefully decorated restaurant with a good ambiance and friendly staff. The menu has a good selection of interesting Portugese dishes that represent all areas of Portugal. Fish meat and vegetarian. For those who are expecting high speed food, this is not the place for you. They appear to cook many dishes from scratch, hence the quality and this cannot be hurried. There is a choice of modestly priced "amuse bouches" to pick at whilst you are waiting so there is something to keep one occupied. When the meal arrives it is well presented and everything we have tried so far has been delicious, particularly the fish. The chef has the knack of extracting loads of flavour from his fish dishes; I haven't tasted better even in much more renowned establishments. The range of sweets in pretty much standard but once again they are of good quality and generous portions. The cherry on the cake is the coffee which we found delicious and very modestly priced. Overall a very enjoyable experience that we intend to repeat.

From start to finish this was a wonderful night out. W five of us all chose something different from the menu and no one was disappointed! We had to wait for the main course but we didn't mind because when you know its being cooked from fresh its a pleasure with every mouthful when it does arrive. Fantastic, friendly and helpful service because some of us weren't sure what to order and the waiter was very helpful with our choices. My desert was out of this world "walnut ice cream" !truly scrumptious!

We love the Piri Piri chicken honestly loads better than anywhere else.it takes about 45-50 minutes cooked fresh every time.if you like chicken please try it.

I went here with two one my friends, one of which who recommended them & who is Portuguese.For the starters we had the garlic with cheese, melon with parma ham, & muscles. These dishes were all really good, fresh and went well together!For mains I have the tuna steak with caramelized onions. I had not tired tuna steak before so this was an intentional first for me. The gentleman who was serving us recommended I had it cooked medium, so i went with his recommendation - and was glad I did!The tuna was cooked wonderfully as was everything else served with it. The only thing that I will mention is the caramelized onions are not like caramelized onions that we have in England, they taste more like pickled onions.My friends shared a dish that is a traditional Portuguese dish, it was basically a mixed fish stew with some chili and rice, and tasted really good.I had a mouthful to try and it was good, it wasn't an over powering taste of fish or chili, they both went really well together. It is a large dish and was meant to sharing but between both of my friends there was still left over, so i chose to take it away.For dessert we had 3 different dishes: Banana split, Grandma's Sweet & Natas do ceu. All three of these desserts were delicious and I recommend them all (even if you go alone!)I would definitely go back to this restaurant, the server was really friendly & welcoming, the food was great and I would say the value is average. Happy customer.

Food is always good and staff very friendly and helpful. Love their soup which is made with love and passion, munchy mushrooms are a delight and the main courses are a problem because they are all soooooooooooo good.

It has been a whilst since I reviewed this restaurant but thought it was worth another mention. It remains in my top 5 places to eat in Corby. The food and service is wonderful!

As a starter I choose for grilled sardines, which were very nice, followed by a chicken dish with a white sause, also very nice. The accompanying red wine was great, but I should have choosen a slightly lighter wine. Warm welcome by the owner and host.

Food and staff were nice. Wasnt our first choice of the night but very glad i came here. Food was well cooked and did not wait long. The person who served us seemed like the manager and he was very chatty and polite.

We have been going to A Tasca for 7years now now.and it has always been warm and friendly.amazing food in the restaurant with a lovely ambience.you can eat in he cafe as well food is great too.my favourite is Piri Piri chicken it takes 50minutes to cook but well worth the wait.we have a cold beer or sangria on draught while we wait.you can phone up and order it and it's ready when you get there how great is that.we even booked the restaurant for are wedding meal for 34people.thank you Alfredo.(manager owner) and all the staff who work there for your hard work.

Highly recommend a visit to this wonderful restaurant. Lovely staff who can't do enough to make sure you have everything you need. Food is delicious and very reasonably priced for what you get. Piri piri chicken is a winner.

We went as a family as this is my daughters favourite place to eat in Corby. Food cooked to order, great choice, always tasty. Staff very helpful with explaining about the different dishes. Atmosphere brilliant! By 7pm it was full. This restaurant needs to be booked in advance.Fantastic night was had by all in the party.

Following the spa visit, we went over to A Tasca and it was quiet, I thought it was closed !!!However, Anabela was a wonderful host and her service was exceptional. The food was goodand I thoroughly recommend the Porco Tropical.All in all, I would definitely go back and take guests too

A Tasca is a great portugese Resturaunt. The food is wonderful, the ambience is spot on and it is very reasonably priced.

I've been here a number of times either with friends or on a date with my husband. The food is always brilliant and the service is great. It is small, friendly, clean and serves very tasty food. What more can you ask for? In my opinion the best restaurant in Corby.

A Tasca was recommended to me by a friend who also suggested going early and eating off the Early Bird menu. Good idea in theory but not in practice. The food from this menu is canteen not restaurant standard at best, even considering that three courses cost but £15.00!The restaurant is quite small and pleasant enough and being the first people there were soon seated by the sole server who took our drinks orders and then placed baskets of sliced bread and spiced dipping oil on the table. From this very limited menu I chose the Mixed Portuguese savories for starters which were fine, served 70's style with a bit of shredded lettuce as well as three dipping sauces - garlic, peri peri and sweet &sour.For main course I had the roast loin of pork with sliced tropical fruit and cream which the server brought out with chips without asking me my preferance. When I pointed out that I did not want chips she provided rice and offered me the chips as well (I declined). The pork was sliced cold and rehated to be served in the sauce and the sliced tropical fruit turned out to be a ring of tinned pinapple cut in half and a slice of tinned peach! The sauce was quite bland but the combination with the rice worked. The garnish was a sprinkle off chopped parsley and no vegetable or salad was served with the main course. For dessert I chose the Pudding Flan which is basically Creme Caramel..... I have had this quite often in other places and also make it at home. A Tasca's version did not taste freshly made. There was no true caramel taste from cooking the sugar and the egg custard did noy taste of egg custard and the two tiny sqirts of canned cream....Omg!My friend suggested going again and chosing from the a la carte menu, but I am not at all sure that I will be back, much as I enjoy a good natter over dinner with friends.

Staff friendly and welcoming, service timing was just right, plenty of choice on the menu. We have been several times and tried different dishes, all have been excellent. Give them a try, you wont be disappointed.

Beautiful food in a lovely atmosphere. This is a lovely restaurant and we have never had a bad experience here. The staff are very friendly and helpful and will always give advice on dishes if you are unsure of what to choose from the extensive menu. Traditional Portugese food and the best I have tasted outside Portugal!!Thank you for another really enjoyable evening.

Called in on a Saturday lunchtime. Not busy. Very attentive service. Great food. Nicely decorated. Good choice of food on menu plus specials of the day. Very happy with my visit and will be back again!

This is a gorgeous little place is located where you would not expect a seriously good restaurant! We came out of our way using TA to find this place and it really justifies TA in my mind. There is no way i would have known about it! Others have written great things so I cannot add anything better. Food, service, drink, atmosphere, friendliness, price: all excellent. The scallops.............yay! We will go back and soon!

I pop in here for lunch from time to time. Really nice food. Would highly recommend it. Nice friendly atmosphere too.

This is a small restaurant with enormous atmosphere. The food is of a high standard and definitely value for money. Friendly staff rounds off a lovely dining experience.

The reviews here are accurate, don't let the appearance (location) put you off eating here. Went with a group from work upon recommendations from other colleagues. We read the reviews here and we agreed, the food is really nice, a wide / varied menu, very reasonable for the quality and the desserts were fantastic.Overall, this was a really pleasant surprise in Corby.We'll be back.Try the Corpus wine,,,,hmmm

Must say I have never had a bad meal here and the staff are wonderful, absolutely love the atmosphere is Allways relaxed and it makes you feel like you are abroad don't miss out you will definitely not be disappointed :-)

Went in with my girlfriend for a meal, staff were very friendly and helpful. Ordered the mushrooms x2 and then a sirloin and the peri peri chicken for mains. The mushrooms for starters were really bad, they were the packet breaded mushrooms you get from Iceland on a leaf of lettuce with garlic mayo, and for £6. Not good. The peri chicken for mains was really dry and not particularly tasteful, they say peri peri, but it looked like it was a brought peri peri dip stuck on the side. Really poor.The sirloin came out which to be fair wasn't cooked too bad but it come out in the middle of the plate and either side of the steak they had stuck on Mccains sliced potatoes which were so bland. No veg or salad or anything of any colour/taste either on the plate. The White wine and garlic sauce consisted of a light brown gravy like sauce that had been mixed (not cooked) with wine and a garlic clove had been placed ontop of the steak afterwards. Really really bad for the price, and would certainly never be back even though I live very local. Sorry!!

This was a gem, great Portugese food hidden away out of the town centre. As well as the food being really authentic and tasty the service was exemplary. The early bird menu was very good value for money and had a good selection, but next time I'm going for the wide range of choices on the main menu - they look so interesting. Just like being in Portugal - if only they could add sunshine to the menu!

I was staying nearby passing through Corby. As A Tasca was nearby and the reviews looked good I picked this for my evening meal.On a quiet Tuesday night it was me dining alone with my familiar kindle. I did not feel alone as the waitress was friendly without being intrusive and the music just right, not too loud. To accompany my reading I had a carafe of excellent house red and a tapas of cheese and meat to nibble. The advertised 45 minute wait for the peri peri to cook passed quickly. Well worth waiting for as it was so good I could not resist gnawing the bones.If I go to Corby again A Tasca will be where I will dine.

Definitely a great place to eat, plenty of choice if not a little strange, but gorgeous flavours and served piping hot!

This our second time out to this restaurant was extremely enjoyable we all enjoyed a three course meal all homemade in the Portuguese style. There is an early bird menuthat runs till 7:30pm or an Al a Carte menu the food is all well cooked and extremely tasty.One of the best restaurants in Corby.

Love, love, love this place. Food is fantastic every.single.time. I recommend this to my friends all the time, you will not be disappointed.

Went for valentine was nice dinner although a set menu there was plenty of choice nice staff food was nice although I had heard lots of good things about this place my expectations were set high my wife's steak was cooked to perfection but she said she would of liked some veg or something to go with it as it was just a plate of steak and potatoes I had a chicken kebab that was lovely overall a nice place to go but maybe not as special as I had hoped

This has to be one of the best restaurants in corby, the food is divine & service great I would highly recommend the piri piri chicken & the prawn starter is lovely if you like garlic!

Ate here as I wanted to try Portuguese food. I wasn't disappointed, the starters were lovely I had mixed empanadas style thing, the others had the black pudding and the chorizo. All were very happy with their starters. For main I had frango asado, I wasnt expecting half a grilled chicken to arrive it was lovely and I ate it all. Everyone was happy with their mains, the lamb stew was excellent, others had fish which was also excellent! I had the st honore cake for dessert which again was a big portion and very good. Will go back very good

We eventually found the restaurant and we were not disappointment - the staff were amazing and attentive. The food was like being in Portugal and my husband should know as he's Portuguese, plenty of sardines!!. I highly recommend the restaurant, great atmosphere, great value for money. Thanks

What a place to find in Corby 20 mins from home.Just used a groupon token special offer ,Wow the best yet, this has opened a new restaurant for us to go to.From the outside my wife said its just a cafe, but inside its a real restaurant, with a wonderful service to match!!!!!Both of our meals from starters to mains great ....compared to our last meal in Cornwall last week with starters at £9 rubbish,,, this was a eye opener to how things should be.Also what a bonus next door they have a coffee shop, and lots of Portuguese specials, I have instructions from my wife to collect from this shop next week.We will certainly go again.

I would recommend this restaurant to everyone food is delicious and service is amazing. Waiter has that old school style of serving yur meals and everything else very polite you dont see that too often these days.

Eating out regularly this A Tasca is one of our regulars. You would think that after so many visits we would have at least one bade experience - far from it. Highly recommended!

Love this place! Great food the chicken is Devine! My husband who is the fussiest eater on the planet loves it so must be good!, they do take out as well which can be collected, never tire of the food, the staff are super friendly & they offer a good loyalty card with great offers too. Excellent wine list & portugese beers also served.

After receiving good local reviews we booked this place during a stay in Corby. The meals can be best be described as pub/bar meal quality at best. A little bit strange when the menu items are written in Portugese and when you order the waiter recites the item back in English. If you not interested in maintaining the theme then just have an English menu. I had the most strangest looking black pudding and chorizo starter which was simply pathetic. For main course had the pepper steak, the steak of which nearly floated off the plate there was that much sauce. Save your money and go for a simple pub meal.

Went for luch with wife and ordered "costeleta de porco grelhada", grilled pork chop with chips and salad. Grilled to perfection, nice chips and a wonderful salad. We had "pudim" for dessert, nice with caramel covering it. To end a nice expresso.Will be going back for more.

It was like being back in PortugalThe staff were so helpful and the food was simply superb,as well as the wine and brandy !If you love Portugal as much as i do then try this lovely restaurant.My other half who has never been to a portugese retaurant before cant wait to go back,as we live in London will have to plan another weekend away .It was a busy sautrday night with a large table of 18 but the staff were just as attentive to us as the big table

Went here a few weeks ago after wanting to try it for ages. Nestled in a row of shops in an area you probably wouldn't risk walking around at night in, a pleasant surprise awaits you with an authentic looking small restaurant decorated with various Portuguese memorabilia including a signed Cristiano Ronaldo shirt.After a reasonable starter of mixed meats and cheeses, two steals followed, both ordered rare. One arrived rare but the other looked closer to medium-well. I took the medium-well one and actually quite enjoyed it, but it was really nothing special just a plain sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce and vegetables.Given the location (Corby is generally pretty cheap for most things) I was pretty shocked at the prices. The mains came to over £30 for 2 - if it were in London I'd have probably been happy but it was a bit overpriced really - I've had fillet for that price elsewhere and it's been far nicer.Overall - not bad but not great value

Have been here several times when visiting family in Corby area. Always friendly, always busy (good sign). Fantastic choice of food. Wouldn't eat anywhere else while this restaurant is there. Long may it stay.

Never been to a portuguese restaurant before, so i probably played it safe and had food you'd have in any english restaurant (king prawns to start and steak for mains) with a local twist on sauce and flavourings.The chilli prawns to start are to die for!Service excellent too!

Have been visiting for over two years. Never fail to be welcomed like old friends; especially by Clara a perfect front of house hostess. Delicious food, great wines and very importantly a lovely atmosphere

Nestled amid a row of unpromising takeaways in Corby's modest Occupation Road, La Tasca offers an authentic taste of Portugal at prices that are surprisingly reasonable.We mounted an all-out attack on the menu from chilled Sagres beer, Portuguese sardine pate, bread and olives, through a range of starters that included cold meats, a superb prawn dish and a bowl of clams in a light herby stock.Winner of the main course was probably the Fish Cataplana - a holiday favourite of mine. The wine list is authentic ranging from the mid-price range through to a superb (and rather more costly Douro).The restaurant was quiet on a Thursday night but booking is essential at weekends apparently. Word is getting around, and I can't say I'm surprised.We shall return.

Four of us ate at this Portuguese restaurant last night and were very pleased to find it every bit as good as we had been told. It is really authentic Portuguese. Even the prices! Main courses from about £8. We had traditional read and pate to whet our appetites. Then moved on the delicious starters. I had grilled prawns in a garlic and tomato sauce. I thought this dish was outstanding and I eagerly mopped up the sauce with bread. My friends also tried it and loved it. The others enjoyed their starters of cheese and ham, clams in a white wine sauce and grilled sardines. Main courses were peri peri chicken and chips and a cataplana (Portuguese casserole dish) of monk fish, saffron, white wine, clams, new potatoes and prawns. All thought the food was really good and excellent value for money. Our waitress was fantastic, very helpful, chatty and dealt iwith the teasings of one of the guys extremely well. We drank Sagres beers and Douro wine. We ate so well with all the bread mopping none of us could manage a dessert. Next time....I will definitely be going back.

So glad we found this delightful oasis. We thought it was great value for money, especially the "early bird" menu. The a la carte prawn starter was lovely, although I would ask for a little less piri piri!! The sauce with the monkfish was devine. A pretty intimate restaurant, completely staffed by Portuguese. The waitress was so helpful and clearly loved her job. Only wish we had a restaurant like this near to us in Suffolk. We shall certainly return to A Tasca, there is so much on the menu that we would like to try. Do drink the super Portuguese beer it goes so well with the food. (Should add fact that you can park right outside the restaurant.)

This is probably the best dining experience a have in long time, really good and extensive menu special for fish and seafood loversWell recommend for family and friends finest dining experience

This was a 5th visit here and yet again the food and service was great. This place is a bit more expensive than most restaurants in Corby but it's worth paying a little more for a lovely meal. The African prawns is one of the best starters I've had. Will be going back very soon.

We dined in this restaurant over Christmas. It was the first time I had ever tried portuguese food and I thought it was lovely. The restaurant isn't very big but I suppose you could say it was intimate. They had a good selection of food and drink and the service was very friendly and efficient. The only criticisms I have is that the restaurant wasn't decorated very Christmassy (and we were out for a Christmas party so we did expect crackers on the table or something) and when my starter arrived it wasn't hot but to be fair it still tasted lovely. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to my friends.

This is one restaurant you should not miss. Not in the greatest setting, but the food and service is second to none. Lots of different fish, the lamb stew is enough for two people, Visited this place about 10 times now with various people and every single one has given it top marks. One of the very few gems in North Northamptonshire
