Boston | I was afraid it would be too hot but it was worth the trip

đŸ· Dali: Boston’s Most Exciting New Find—Unexpected Flavor Combos That Work Boston’s been lacking “wow” restaurants lately, but Dali? It’s a game-changer. I knew it was good, but not this good. Think bold, unexpected ingredient pairings that somehow click—plus a vibe that’s perfect for dates. 🍮 Standout Dishes Chuletillas de Cordero ($15): 🐑 Grilled lamb chops with peach sauce. Wildly good. The sauce tastes like a mix of lamb jus and roasted peaches—savory, meaty, with a bright fruity kick that cuts through the richness. The lamb itself is tender, full-flavored, and the peach isn’t just a gimmick—it balances the dish. A first-time combo for me, and I’m hooked. Pato Braseado ($18): 🩆 Braised duck leg with blackberry sauce. Another surprise. The sauce is pure, intense blackberry—sweet, tart, and so fruity—it tames the duck’s richness without overpowering it. The skin’s crispy, the meat tender (no gamey aftertaste), and the contrast between savory duck and bright berry? Genius. Tortilla Española ($8): đŸ„š A throw-in order that stole the show. Thick, fluffy Spanish omelet with potatoes and onions, served with garlic aioli. Rich, hearty, and packed with depth—way more satisfying than your average tapas. Mariscos en Crema de Camarones ($30): đŸ€ Skipped the classic paella for this creamy shrimp-sauce seafood rice, and no regrets. Loaded with fresh scallops, squid, mussels, shrimp, and octopus—all tender, no rubbery textures. The rice is slightly al dente (traditional), but the sauce? Heaven. Creamy, briny, with a hint of mysterious spices that tie everything together. đŸč Drinks to Sip **Mango Caipirinha ($14)**: đŸ„­ Recommended by the server—made with cachaça (a Brazilian rum-like spirit), muddled lime, and mango purĂ©e. Refreshing, not too sweet, with a bright kick. Their cocktail list is long (all $14), so there’s plenty to explore. Passionfruit Mojito (non-alcoholic, $7): đŸč A friend’s order—better than the classic mojito. Zesty, fruity, and perfectly balanced. ✹ The Vibe Cozy, dimly lit, and romantic—think vibrant, (warm) decor with colorful tables and dishes. Perfect for dates or small groups. Book ahead: We arrived at 5:30 PM on a weekend, and people were already waiting for doors to open. Pro tip: If online shows no spots, call—they might squeeze you in. Price: ~$56 per person (with drinks); skip alcohol and it drops. Tapas portions are small—4 dishes work for 2 people. 📍 Dali 415 Washington St, Somerville, MA 02143 #BostonEats #SpanishFood #DateNightSpots
