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.

This place is the CUTEST! I have to say I was a little hesitant at first because a lot of reviews said it was super loud inside, but that totally was not the case. The vibe inside was beyond adorable, it really makes you feel like you’re dining in an authentic spanish restaurant. The staff is marvelous and the food is to die for. My boyfriend and I got a mix of tapas and we were so full, but couldn’t stop eating. Our favorite dishes were the croquetas de pollo and the solomilla steak. Get the churros for dessert too!

We had a fantastic time at Dali- the food was amazing and we love the decor. It did get rather loud towards the end, not in a bad way, but just as a head's up if you have any hearing problems. We accidentally arrived 30 minutes early and they made sure to still get us seated. We will definitely be back and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun night out!

A bit loud, but much better than other venues. Service was excellent. The food was tasty, but not quite as extraordinary as I recall from several years ago. Still, a much-loved local mainstay that I cherish!

Consistently the best tapas in the Boston area. The decor is awesome. I am thrilled that they got through the pandemic years (knock wood) and hope Dali continues to thrive for many years to come.

Always a treat to share a meal with loved ones at Dali. Food was excellent across the board (highly recommend the garlic shrimp and the empanadillas tapas). Service was pleasant and attentive but not intrusive. It’s not hard to see why Dali has thrived for as long as it has.

It was so loud that it was difficult to enjoy the delicious meal and the beautiful surroundings! I felt as if it was an assault on my ears, and the noise hindered my ability to enjoy the friends seated with me. As wonderful as the food is and as lovely as the ambience is, I doubt I’ll be going back. Too Loud.
