Top in class from start to finish. The atmosphere was thriving, the service outstanding, and the house Hendrick’s drinks were excellent. We were lucky to be there on a night with legendary Chef Steve Champagne at the helm, which made the experience even more special.
Eighteen years later, the culture stays true to its roots. It was a great night with the family.
Niche Hospitality Group continues to stand out in the industry, consistently delivering a great experience every time we visit. Hope others enjoy it as much as we do.

A tropicalized version of Spanish food, a limited menu with me-too americanized items, no croquettes, patatas bravas with mayo, calamari instead of octopus, and a top burned unflavored rice, with raw calamari and minimum pieces of meat, cooked with regular paraboiled rice sold as paella at $49p

The tapas and paella are so tasty and authentic. Very good service as well! Highly recommend. We tried the octopus, fried goat cheese, fried avocado, 5 hour slow braised beef brisket and the classic paella.

Absolutely delicious restaurant. Our waiter was very enthusiastic, and attentive, but not pushy. This is not our first time there, nor will it be our last.

We had our Holiday party at Bocado and everyone enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Michelle did a great job getting us a great table and picking all the tapas. Would highly recommend.

We went to Bocado Tapas Wine Bar for the first time and honestly had such a good night. Our waiter John was great—funny, relaxed, and checked in just enough without hovering. We did the Experience for Two and the food was seriously delicious, and the portions were perfect since we even brought a little home. We’d definitely go back and would recommend it if you haven’t tried it yet, and there’s also a Worcester location if that’s closer. Reservations are a good idea, and parking is mostly on the street with a nearby lot that fills up pretty quickly.

Always a fun time at Bocado Wellesley. The regular menu can't be beat, everything is prepared fresh and comes to the table fast. They also have a great seasonal menu and seasonal cocktails.
Hot & cold Tapas, charcuterie, Paella and sweet desserts!
I had a wonderful experience at Bocado Tapas! The variety of small plates allowed us to enjoy a perfect sampling of authentic Spanish flavors. The lobster was definitely the highlight of the evening—succulent and perfectly cooked. I left feeling very full and satisfied. Highly recommend for a delicious, flavorful tapas dinner!

Food is always good but they for train servers. It make the difference when bad service. I was waiting for 20 min for reeves to acknowledge that I am here. Too the order, I was specific in what order to bring ordered dishes. None was followed… did not refill my water and did not offer second round of my drink. 0$ tips earned… but always good food.

I have been coming here for years now and it is a favorite on the East Coast for my family and friends. The service is exceptional (every time), the food delicious, and the value excellent. This is a great, reliable restaurant for any occasion. I hope to see Bocado continue to succeed in Wellesley. Thank you, Bocado staff!
