A Boston favorite, Dali is a complete dining experience tucked away in the suburbs of Somerville. This is perhaps the best Spanish cuisine in all of Boston, with the nicest ambience. Mosaics, Spanish art, and even the truly Spanish jamon leg decorate the restaurant. Pitchers of sangria should not be passed up. Friendly waiters dressed in bejeweled black vests deliver warm bread and a garlicy chick pea spread to your table with the menus. Most diners order several tapas, or Spanish appetizers for the table and share. Try the tasty lobster ravioli, the garlic chicken, the shrimp with garlic, and the fried calamari. If you prefer to order your own meal, try the paella Entrees are a bit pricier, in the $20 range. For dessert, the flan and rice pudding are excellent. Thursday through Sunday the restaurant is packed. Give your name in person at the restaurant and order a pitcher of sangria at the ceramic tiled bar while you wait. If you have a special event to commenorate, Dali will help to celebrate in style. For birthdays, graduations, etc. waiters place a crown made of leaves and vines on the customer's head, singing and blowing bubbles around revelers.
