Bocado Tapas Wine Bar - Wellesley

“The tapas and paella are so tasty and authentic. Very good service as well! Highly recommend. We tried the octopus, fried goat cheese, fried avocado, 5 hour slow braised beef brisket and the classic paella.”

“We truly enjoyed the dining experience at Bocado. The restaurant offers an impressive selection of small plates, perfect for sharing and sampling a wide variety of flavors. Nestled in a charming small town, the location feels cozy and inviting, and we had no trouble finding convenient parking nearby. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their attentive and friendly service. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. The lamb stood out as a highlight—tender, juicy, and bursting with rich, savory notes that left a lasting impression. The garlic shrimp was another favorite, cooked to perfection with just the right amount of spice to give it a bold kick without overpowering the dish. Overall, Bocado combines a warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and a menu that celebrates creativity and taste. It’s a spot we’d highly recommend for anyone looking to enjoy a memorable meal with diverse options.”

“We went to Bocado Tapas Wine Bar for the first time and honestly had such a good night. Our waiter John was great—funny, relaxed, and checked in just enough without hovering. We did the Experience for Two and the food was seriously delicious, and the portions were perfect since we even brought a little home. We’d definitely go back and would recommend it if you haven’t tried it yet, and there’s also a Worcester location if that’s closer. Reservations are a good idea, and parking is mostly on the street with a nearby lot that fills up pretty quickly.”

“love this place at the beautiful town next to the most beautiful university and parking is a must. Service is nice and Food is awesome especially the mussels and octopus...yum!”

“Very interesting menu. Lots to choose from. We went for the fixe price menu for 4 people, @ $50 per person; had a large paella, 4 charcuteries & 8 tapas to share. Plenty of food! Great wait staff; free parking at the Wellesley location on the street after 6pm. Definitely worth a visit!”
