Tapas Restaurants near Chelsea, MA

“Great sandwiches, coffee drinks and a welcoming environment.“

“I love this place. I have no words to describe my awesome experience with this amazing place. The customer service is speechless, the owner is simply out of this world, be side the awesome fried calamari we chose as our night appetizer. Thank you guys very much for all it“

“Run don't walk to Pagu for absolutely scrumptious food that weaves together Japanese and Spanish Basques Cuisines! A must order is the Tuna Collar - I've never had anything like it - it's huge, great for a crowd, bone-suckingly good (literally have done that) served with rice and nori! Also make sure you don't miss Tracy Chang's homemade nonalcoholic sparking teas - my favorites are the genmaicha and the hojicha - again I've never tasted a drink like this anywhere else. And then you have to end the night with a Basque Cheesecake - I particularly love when Pagu makes a seasonal Matcha or Ube Basque cheesecake! Pagu's dishes and drinks are across the board innovative but also welcoming and absolutely delicious!“

“Amazing food and bookstore!“

“The food was fresh and fantastic! Service was excellent !“

“Utterly delicious! Got a spicy beef bowl and it fixed me. I was meeting some friends and didn't have time to research any gluten free options in the area. Took a chance on this place and the hostess was very considerate of my dietary needs. Will definitely order again in the future!“

“Excellent food and beer👍🍺“

“We had a very large party but the staff was more than accommodating and the food was great. The menu isn't the largest but what they do have was presented well and tasted good. The atmosphere was great with a wide selection of music from the DJ and they even took a request. I took a trip to the bar and the staff there was great as well. They started with a free water and were very quick with the drink request. I'll keep this one on my list. Thank you Rose!“

“Excellent tapas in a quaint setting“

“Really love coming to this place for weekend brunch + live music! The so-called ‘vip’ tables have minimum of $50 per person, but the table is so low that it’s hard to eat.. do the regular tables if possible. Their focaccia is good and other food decent as well. Wish they had more shareables.“

“Had a good dinner here with a group of friends. We shared a bunch of different tapas/meals, which was a nice way to try a variety of things. I enjoyed the BBQ shrimp, fried chicken sliders and burger sliders. The biscuits were ok.

We made a reservation ahead of time and were seated right away. Parking outside was tight on Saturday night, but there was space in the garage.“

“The Dungeon Master Roll the Dice“

“Food: WOW! Their tapas were amazing. Best spot I have ever had in Boston. We ordered 4 among the 3 of us and it was the perfect portion. I will be dreaming about all of them!!!

Service: Tapas were pretty fast! Service was good. No complaints.

Ambiance: SO clean inside! Bathrooms were super clean, lots of space to put coats and stuff too. Loved the interior design as well.“

“The dishes are so intentional. You can tell there is a lot of love and thought that went into each dish. The cornbread and scotch eggs are divined!“

“Had a great time with some friends at Matadora. Food was great. Love tapas because you can sample different foods. Drinks were delicious and the we had the best server. only drawback is that it's in the hotel lobby and you can hear the noise from the pool on the other side.“

“The food was phenomenal we ordered just about every appetizer and dessert, and absolutely loved everything. From what I could tell, all of the items we reviewed were naturally gluten free. While it isn’t specified on the menu, it appeared that the offerings may be entirely gluten free, which was a pleasant surprise.
The space itself is quite small, so it didn’t feel ideal for a larger group. Our party of five (two adults and three kids) definitely felt a bit crowded, and for the same reason it’s probably not the most child friendly spot. That said, the décor is beautiful, the staff was very friendly, and the overall vibe was lovely. My husband and I definitely plan on going back for a date night to try some of the main courses“

“Pizza is really good and both appetizers we shared were delicious, enough for 6 people.

Why I wasnt a big fan of this place:
1. My white wine wasnt very chilled and my friend’s paloma cocktail wasnt a hit.
2. And before it has been 1.5 hours even they just brought the check to the table which is kind of a mood killer for me.
3. When I asked to get black pepper for the pizzas, one waiter said we dont have it…. then a few minutes later it was brought in a little dish - how do you not have peppper in a pizza restaurant?“

“The atmosphere, food, service and the team that works there are great. I will go back to try more of the delicious menu items.“

“They offer small plates and standard entrees. We had 2-3 small plates per person which was just right. They have lovely cocktails as well as nice beer and wine selections. We enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning to try more items.“

“Very warm and cozy near the fireplace. Food was wonderful and service exceptional. We had a very friendly and attentive server.“

“Great food, great service. The yakitori are grilled to perfection. The wait staff are super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The drink menu offers an array of sake, cocktails, wine and beer. Cannot wait to go back and try more food!“

“I’m not an adventurous drinker, but my husband is and we loved the idea of a mystery cocktail! He rolled the dice and now we’re hooked. I don’t drink alcohol, but Tuane helped me through and we brainstormed together for a delicious mocktail. When the mystery drink arrived she was so knowledgeable about it!
We’re definitely coming back soon. Thank you, Tuane!!“

“Went for Dinner and the atmosphere is very intimate. Definitely need reservations and to specify where you want to sit in advanced. We had seating at the bar and were placed very close to their people. They needed more spacing for item I had no where to put my purse and had to hold it i my lap the whole time but i did notice that the bar seating by the window had hooks for purses under the counter that the bar didn’t have. If you jot into being close to your neighbor aid stead clear but for a date night it also puts you close to your date and was nice for that. The food is small plates and we had about 4 different small plates we shared which were absolutely delicious. The best were the Empanada and croquetas de bacalao. we also got the special which was a paella made with fideos which was really good. I didn’t try any of the drink but my date got two beer and liked both of them. The service itself was good the server took time to explain how the menu worked and was quick to tell us if we wanted a paella it does take some time to make and even gave some recommendations. There was only one issue which was we’re having the wrong dishes brought over to us that we meant for the people sat next to us and that seemed to be happens in got other seated at the bar as well. Over all grey choice for date night if you’re okay with smaller spaces.“

“Great Food , Good atmosphere“

“10/10 our favorite restaurant. We drive about an hour to come here, and it's our favorite restaurant. The food is always amazing and the staff is incredible. Would always recommend this to everyone.“

“Wonderful place to eat on our trip to Boston. Went with my dad and then took my wife there 3 days later for a different experience. Owner was kind and friendly. Birthday party was in the middle room and the whole restaurant sang along.“

“Muy delicioso todo muy buena atención“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner last night. Very pleasant ambience, good service, and outstanding food – which, as an added bonus, was served piping hot! Moussaka was delicious, as was the lamb kebab dinner.  We love good Mediterranean food and will absolutely return!“

“Had my first visit to Bootleg Special last night and it did not disappoint. Every aspect of the meal, from the creative drinks to the delicious appetizers to the fantastic main course was outstanding. Our server, Alex, was attentive and very pleasant. And last, but certainly not least, the beignets after dinner were spectacular. Looking forward to my next visit!“

“I ordered my daughters 6th birthday cake from La Casa Del Pandebono and it literally the best experience I’ve ever had with any business. Not only was the custom cake beautiful and delicious, they provided a level of exceptional customer service that I didn’t even know existed. The “Tangled” cake included a beautiful edible gold crown as it’s center piece, and it was packaged separately. Despite my best efforts to handle it carefully, I accidentally broke it the night before the birthday party. I texted the owner asking if he has recommendations for me to reassemble it (knowing it was unlikely, but I was desperate). He immediately responded and asked for my address, letting me know he’d deliver a new one when he closed the store (I live in another town). I was shocked at his generosity and beyond grateful. As an expression of gratitude, a sent him an additional tip which he politely attempted to reject (I wouldn’t allow it…haha). In return, he delivered not only the grown, but an order of birria tacos and an empanada (which I was admiring when I went to pick up the cake) - literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. I cannot emphasize how touched I was by this experience. La Casa Del Pandebono is a rare gem - baked goods that are truly a work of art, and incredible food that is only surpassed by the unbelievable customer service. I will be a customer for life.“

“Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Delicious tiramisu & raspberry cheesecake. Very tasty watermelon strawberry sangria. & the absolute BEST chicken limone with fresh pasta!“

“Su buen servicio y la comida es deliciosa.“

“It is always dependable and delicious“

“The cheese pizza (Quattro Formaggi) has to be one my Top 3 pizzas. Very tasty.“

“Amazing food and staff. Mi primera vez y no sera la ultima. Muchas gracias por su gran atencion y ambiente super agradable y seguro. La musica en vivo es un super + excelente el Grupo El Grupo Chevere. Me encanto el Ceviche peruano, el Expresso Martini super rico.“

“Fantastic food and service! Stunning atmosphere! Can't recommend highly enough!“

“Food was awesome! Service was great too!“

“Love the back bar and service was 10/10“

“There was a pop up chef there serving some dope carriers food. The cabbage was delicious as well as the prawns in piri piri sauce. I took my girl her for our one year meet-a-versary and it was perfect. The dim lighting and comfortable seating made for a really special night. I would highly recommend this place and would definitely come back. The drinks were tasty as well!“

“The New Crash Test Dummies and Dorilocos!!!!“

“Tatiana was not only a superb waitress, but managed the floor hosting and held down the kitchen cooking while she was severely understaffed. To say she was a woman of many hats would be an accurate statement. The wine was spectacular, and the food was second to none, specifically the eggplant. This is your place to go for delicious food and wine in southie.“

“We are in Cambridge for a few nights and found Dali being a restaurant nearby. It turned out to be an unexpected surprise. Luckily we made reservation as the restaurant was packed. The menu was extensive; the service was friendly; the meal was served quickly and delicious and the atmosphere was great. We ordered 4 tapas plus an order of focaccia and a bottle of wine. All come to less than $100 not including tips. A must try in Cambridge, MA.“

“I really enjoyed my experience at Sabina Mezcaleria. The food was delicious, and the drinks were even better. Luis and Naomi at the bar were amazing—super friendly and welcoming, and they really elevated the whole experience. I would absolutely recommend this place and can’t wait to come back!“

“Hot chocolate bar experience was truly fantastic. The dessert spread and hot chocolate were delicious. The vibe is also festive! The service staff is very attentive and nice. The pastry chef personally came to our table to ask how our experience was going which was a nice gesture. We loved our experience and had a great time“

“I’ve always loved this restaurant every time I’ve been. Just a really special place!“

“Charming old school beer hall. Sadly, it was damaged in 2018 due to a fire upstairs, and never re-opened. As of early 2019, the building appears to be for sale, so it looks like the closure may end up being permanent. :-(“

“Amazing food ❤️ lovely people and the best cocktails“

“Delish dinner. Swordfish & fresh vegetables. Scrumptious tart for dessert!“
