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.

Amazing food, very fun environment and beautiful space, and wonderful service. The only improvement would be a kitchen that is more accommodating to food allergies like gluten intolerance or celiac disease. The waitress was very knowledgable about what was safe and unsafe for a person who cannot eat gluten, but we quickly learned that few items could be made gluten-free because the restaurant cooked bread on its only grill. This made is so that almost every protein on the menu was not safe for celiacs (exception was scallops). Minor adjustments and some creativity could expand the number of dishes that a person with a gluten allergy could enjoy. For example, the white bean soup with chorizo was not safe because the chorizo was cooked on the grill (but the same chorizo was made safe for the appetizer plate because it was cooked with a blowtorch). The restaurant can definitely make its menu more allergy friendly with inexpensive and minor adjustments in this way (without purchasing or making room for an entire grill that is gluten-free). On a positive note, the restaurant has many gluten-free desserts, which is not very common. Will be back!
