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.

Dali is a small family-run place. It is just a hidden gem in Sommerville. The food and service were outstanding, we could not have a better celebration of our 2 birthdays. We return to Dali every time we have a chance. Lovely place and very affordable.

Food was excellent, and the staff was caring and knowledgeable. We got an impromptu tour of the space at the end of our night and walked away absolutely smitten with decor details and backstories! An experience I’ll always be excited to share with friends and family.

Dali was _the_ place for special meals as an undergrad and I'm delighted that returning twenty-plus years later, it's just as good as ever! We ordered something like 8 dishes plus a dessert for four of us and every single one was fantastic. Two vegetarians in the party found loads of options.

Our Server Tina was professional and sweet! she was swift with our requests, and astute of our water level and plates. the decorations are wonderful, something inspiring in every little corner. despite the space being on the smaller side, with as many tables as possible, i still did not feel crowded, and was not bumping elbows as i do in some other restaurants similarly small and busy. the line was out the door before they even opened, reservation was a must on a friday, but well understood once we got our food! wow, i had to close my eyes to experience the mushroom stuffed artichokes with manchego cheese! so delicious. we also got the lamb lollipops and chicken kebabs, perfectly seasoned and wonderfully tender. pricing is what you would expect of a tapas restaurant in the area, and they are very transparent. lots of gluten free options, but didn’t notice many dairy free. no indication of dairy alternatives, but didn’t ask. labeling is limited to (v) vegetarian, and then a diamond symbol that indicates the dish could include an allergen. will definitely be returning!
