Home cooking and a warm welcome rival a trip to Brazil--at a fraction of the cost.

In Short
Antonio and Fafa Gomes cook in the style of Espirito Santo, north of Rio, and their Cambridge compatriots flock to this modest parrot-green room to be coddled like house guests. A home-style feijoada arrives with black beans stewed with sausage, bacon, bits of dried beef, and bony pork cuts; accompanying collard greens, toasted yucca meal, fried plantain and orange slices round out the flavors perfectly.
