Owners Mario Leon and Tamara Bourso introduced traditional Spanish cuisine with a Dali twist to Boston in 1989 and the concept of pairing/sharing tapas quickly spread throughout the restaurant community. Dali offers a full liquor bar with Sangria, original/vintage Cocktails, and Bottoms Up Shots. The interior is personalized with quirky decor such as the Crying Gold Wall, Lost & Found Clothesline, and a LED Interactive Table that cozily seats 6-10 convivial guests. Reservations available Wednesday thru Sunday from 5:30 to 10 and we invite you for a memorable evening.
“Notes: - Definitely recommend ordering the Mariscos en Crema de Camarones over the Del Océano (Seafood Paella). It was a crowd favourite at our table. - Some tapas were a bit too small compared to other tapas and the price for some dishes are honestly a bit too steep. - The 2L sangria was just enough for 1 glass per person in our party of 7. - With our party size, the gratitude was already included in the check. Be sure to make note of that. Otherwise the food, service, and ambiance were great.”
“We had the best time. Food was amazing and took me right back to Spain. Loved the Plato Mixto. Not pictured are the Bolitas de queso which were amazing. Our bartender, Julio was the best. He even offered to take a great picture of us without us even asking. He even lit a candle to get the right lighting. 😂”
“Overall, a really enjoyable dining experience. We tried the Pato Braseado, and the duck leg was surprisingly tender and not dry at all. The mulberry jam added a sweet and slightly tangy flavor that paired really well with the roasted duck. Another standout was the Mariscos en Crema de Camarones. This was one of the dishes I was most excited to try, and it didn’t disappoint. The seafood was varied and plentiful, and the creamy sauce was rich and flavorful without feeling too heavy. Definitely recommend it if you enjoy saucier dishes. The portions are not huge, but the prices are reasonable, which makes it easier to try a few different dishes without feeling too full or wasteful. The restaurant can get a little noisy, but the atmosphere is lively and fun. I’d recommend making a reservation in advance.”
“I go whenever I want to experience authentic Spanish cuisine without leaving Boston. The food is always delicious and full of flavor, and the atmosphere truly transports you to Spain. The best part is Julio, the bartender — warm, welcoming, and special — who makes every visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended.”
“Julio at the bar (see his handsome photo) makes the experience at this restaurant truly special. He lifted up my spirits and completely changed my mood within 15 minutes after a long week of exhausting work. No exaggeration. He took care of us with humor and spread his happiness to everyone at the bar. Of course I won’t belabor any reader about the excellent food and impeccable vibe at this place. The moment you stepped into their heavy wooden door, you traveled to another world that’s completely opposite to the outside. Just for seating info, we didn’t make reservation but just walked in for the bar on a Friday night. We waited for less than 10 minutes and were served by the enthusiastic receptionist in the meantime.”
