At least with the caldo verde, its the mainland version. I found a description on the web about Azorean food. Its generally more ‘country’ and ‘rustic’. For the caldo verde, the Azorean version has chunks of kale, potatoes and linguica, whereas the mainland version has thin strips of kale, and is creamy and smooth. The Uma Casa version is definitely the latter.
Re: Adega. I looked into going there earlier but was thwarted by the lack of availability (need to plan a month ahead, which I just don’t do). Its definitely more expensive, especially so after accounting for the neighborhood ambiance.
