Fabulous
This Brazilian restaurant is tucked away in old town Winchester, offering authentic Brazilian cuisine with house specialties of seafood and pasta. Highly recommend the Brazil 2000 dish, but no matter what you order it will be delicious. Excellent service.    [25 Jan 2002 15:22:59]

About a year and a half ago, I received a gift certificate for Tucano's restuarant in Winchester. What a great gift that turned out to be. My wife and I were so pleased with the menu variety and quality of the food (including its preparation and presentation) that we think it is the best food in the area (and there are a lot of excellent eating places around here). In fact, we've both agreed that it's probably the best food we've ever tasted anywhere.

We've taken our family there and they love it. Recommend it highly!

Recommended dishes:
Don't hold me to the names of the dishes we've tried, but all have been delicious. We frequently order two pasta based items that are among our favorites... one is a pasta base with chicken, and a sauce that has onion, olives, tomatoes and other ingredients that make the most delicate and tasty sauce you could ever hope to come across... this is not a typical Italian type dish... it is very special. The other pasta dish is one I really like... the main ingredient is hearts of palm, along with onion, tomato (sun dried and fresh) and a white cream sauce that's out of this world. We've also had a shrimp presentation that is worth going back for, and our grandson loved their steak offerings. The soups are extra special, (oh my! that potato soup is the best), and although we've not yet tried a main salad, the small salad provided with the lunch menu is so good, that the other listed salads have just got to be wonderful-good... and their garlic bread is a great addition to any meal you might order.    [15 Feb 2002 00:25:27]

great food, great service
I had never been to this restaurant until my sister-in-law took me there last year. Iit's her favorite place to dine in the whole Winchester area. The service was wonderful, the people were nice, and the food was absolutely delicious! I loved everything I tried there. If I'm ever in Winchester, I will definitely go back and try another fabulous dish!    [18 Aug 2003 16:05:39]

Tucano Restaurant
A friend and I went to the Tucano Resturant last night and the food was awful. Lacked in flavor and presentation. Very disappointed!! This is supposed to be a five star restaurant; I'm not so sure.    [18 Sep 2003 10:27:45]

This is not a Brazilian restaurant...
It used to be, but apparently TGI Friday's has recently taken over. Is Jack Daniel's steak a popular menu item in Manaus?

The menu has changed dramatically since it opened in 1995, and not for the better. It is now about 15 percent Brazilian, 75 percent random suburban trendy menu items.    [06 May 2004 16:06:35]

What are reservations for?
Food is good, not sure it's great. Certainly not great enough to wait 2 1/2 hours for which we did a few years ago for my birthday. They left us standing at a non-stocked, non-attended bar, nearly sitting on the shoulders of diners behind us. They oh so graciously gave us a bottle of wine after we flagged a waiter down, and eventually a basket of bread when we begged for it as we feared we would pass out from hunger and heat. Several larger tables who came in after us were seated before us. We tried again last year, again with reservations, and were told the wait was about an hour. There is no place to wait in the restaurant and there was a fine icy rain at the time. This year for my birthday, my husband suggested several restaurants, including Tucano's--I went on a mini-rage, reminging him of our past, very unfavorable experiences and reminded him that I will NOT go there again. Nor will I recommend it. Service stinks.    [28 Jan 2006 18:57:31]

Great Restaurant
A little surprised by some of the reviews. Excellent food. Do not remember seeing much on the menu that was not of Latin origin. We were there on a Thursday evening and it was not crowded.    [17 Apr 2006 09:27:48]

Tucano's didn't disappoint
A romantic, delicious evening at Tucano's on Valentine's Weekend 2006. We celebrated Valentine's weekend with dinner out at Tucano's sans children! That's a rare event for us and Tucano's didn't disappoint. The service was superb, only outdone by the delicious meal!

Despite the busy evening, we weren't rushed. The waiter was able to answer our questions about the appetizers, entrees, wines and desert with ease. And, we were not disappointed with either his recommendations or our own picks. We were also surprised by the reasonable prices.

Our daughter had recommended Tucano's after being the guest of her boyfriend's family. She and her boyfriend both raved about the food and ambiance. We thought it would be hard for Tucano's to live up to their review, but instead, felt we agreed wholeheartedly with their recommendations.

I'm taking a dear friend to Tucano's tomorrow to celebrate her birthday!    [22 Oct 2006 19:16:08]

Tucano's is gone
Appears to have been replaced by a French establishment, La Niciose Cafe.    [21 Dec 2006 15:06:02]
