Luso Restaurant in Smithtown brings a bold and flavorful slice of Portugal to Long Island, serving up wood-charred meats, fresh seafood, and rustic sides in a lively, welcoming setting. Whether you're there for a casual night out or a full-on food celebration, Luso delivers a dining experience that’s big on taste and rich in tradition.

The real highlight at Luso is the rodízio—an all-you-can-eat parade of meats served tableside, carved straight from the skewer. It’s a carnivore’s dream. Skirt steak, spare ribs, pork loin, top sirloin, and chicken legs all rotate through the dining room, each one grilled over wood charcoal for that signature smoky char. The meats come out hot, juicy, and nonstop until you flip your token to say “I’m full.” The variety keeps things exciting, and the seasoning is spot-on—simple, salty, and satisfying.

But it’s not just about the meat. The sides complete the experience. Fried bananas, black beans, rice, collard greens, and crispy potatoes offer rich and earthy counterpoints to the flame-grilled mains. And don’t overlook the house vinaigrette—it adds just the right tang to brighten the heavier bites.

Seafood is also a strong suit here. The shrimp and calamari skewers are flavorful and charred just right, while grilled salmon and swordfish offer heartier options without sacrificing freshness. The seafood dishes come with the same rustic sides, giving even pescatarians something to love.

The bar at Luso is warm and buzzing, with a solid mix of traditional cocktails, Portuguese wines, and cold beer. It’s a great place to kick off the evening, with bar seating that lets you take in the fire of the open kitchen and the energy of the room.

Luso’s ambiance walks the line between rustic and refined. Dark wood tables, high ceilings, and warm lighting create a comfortable, slightly upscale vibe. The outdoor patio, with covered seating and heaters, is perfect for year-round dining with a view of the lively street. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and quick to keep the rodízio rolling smoothly.

Luso isn’t just a meal—it’s a celebration of flavor, fire, and the comfort of good food done right. If you’re hungry for an unforgettable Portuguese feast in the heart of Smithtown, this is the spot to indulge.
