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.

Exuberant conversational space but our tucked away alcove for two made us feel simultaneously private. Fantastic juxtaposition! Sebastian’s humour, expert service and pronunciation tutorials were utterly endearing and most appreciated and the food was outstanding. Still bickering if the 4-year dry aged jambon was favorited, or the scallops in saffron cream sauce. Will need to go back to revaluate our judgements. Yay!

We tried multiple cocktails that were all delicious and our waiter was attentive. We had a reservation and were seated as soon as we arrived. The decor and atmosphere is fun and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend for a date night or a nice dinner with friends.
