I have been here a number of times over the past few years and never been disappointed. The menu seems to have developed over the years to include some Asian inspired dishes. The charcuteria and cheese board is a nice way to start. Pretty nice selection. I have to say the house smoked duck breast is kind of lame as... More

We went here with friends, not knowing what to expect. The bill for two of us was over $130, thanks to the sangria. Though the food was good, the sangria tasty, it certainly wasn't worth the cost. They do have good service, but the room gets very loud and takes away from the atmosphere. I don't think we're going to... More

I cannot say enough about this place. I've been there a couple times now. Every single thing I've ordered was absolutely delicious. My mouth literally waters when I think of this place. It is definitely worth the drive! The service is extremely helpful and very professional. Everything comes out in a timely manner regardless of how busy it is there!... More

In brief, looking for food around the turnpike while taking a trip from Connecticut. Was happy to find an actual eatery instead of fast Food. No way would I have predicted such a pleasant find at eleven at night. The food was excellent, in particular the fried goat cheese. Service was spot on and very efficient in finding and addressing...

The food was delicious! We were a party of 14. They were not able to put us at one table so we were split across 2 tables. The sangria was delicious and the mixed drinks were great. The fried goat cheese, haddock fingers, the green dip(sorry I can't remember what it was) the meat and cheese board and the desserts... More

My husband and I had never been to a tapas restaurant. Our waiter was excellent and very knowledgeable of the menu. The food was out of this world and there was a huge selection. I can't wait to go back and try something new. The drinks were fantastic and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was inviting and fun. We loved this... More

Party of five -- perfect for a tapas place. Tasty food, plenty of variety. Lots of choices for vegetarians. Especially liked the eggplant/goat cheese thingie and a braised cauliflower, broccoli dish. We got 10 tapas for five plus a main dish paella -- more than enough food for all. Paella was bland, though as was the san gria. Service was... More

We LOVE Bocado!!! We have frequently dining in greater Boston tapas restaurants and honestly, most of them do not even come close to the menu variety or comfort of this place. The ambiance is really fun with exposed brick, worn wood floor, and low lighting (too low in my opinion) and two bar areas. Major drawback no view or natural... More

First time at Bocado. I am a very big fan of tapas style cuisine. They have a variety of items on there. Menu. The atmosphere is very seductive and the music sparks the vibe.

My wife and I recently went here w/o a reservation. well, we had to wait but was seated in 30 minutes. So you should plan to reserve IF you want immediate seating OR the bar is readily available for two people. We had the fried goat cheese with honey & almonds first along with two homemade Sangria (Strawberry & Pomegranate)... More
