Atasca

Authentic Portugal meets Tech Square
Since all the attention used to go to the original, smaller Atasca on Broadway — now closed — it felt like it was time to check out the newer, modern Hampshire Street restaurant, which seems from the outside to belong more to Tech Square than to ancient Iberia.
