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.

We didn’t have a phenomenal experience. The staff seemed frustrated that the customers were there and it felt rushed more so than a special occasion.

we were sat in the back which was nice, we definitely like more of an intimate vibe for dinners. but when we first walked in we realized it was more of a gathering place so the next time we come we will bring our friends and stay a little longer. our server was great, she was very kind and sweet. the food was a little meh but we also didn’t try any fish dishes so we will stay open minded 😇 i got a marg and my date got a Dali ‘75(?) and they were both great! thank you for having us and we will be back🥰
