We were really excited to go and eat here BUT it is not worth it. The tapas are served so slowly, it seemed as though we waited 45 minutes in between plates. Out of the 17 plates that came to our table 14 of them went to a nearby table. After alerting the waitress (who seemed impossible to find most... more

My husband got into a stint where we started to eat here once a week, the food is so good! The mini Kobe-beef burgers are definitely a must-try, and the stuffed dates and feta-spinach dip are very close seconds. We also love their "wine flights" (I think that's what they're called...), which are small samplers of several different types of... more

I've been to Bocado a few times - it never disappoints. Wine flight is a nice idea so you can try several wines. I am not a meat eater, but everyone loves the mini burgers. I always enjoy the fried goat cheese and honey as well as the seafood tapas. Great place to go with a group of people. more

My husband and I decided to try Bocado in Worcester for my birthday after reading some positive reviews. We were hesitant as we have lately been disappointed with other restaurants in the area. From the moment we walked in the door, it was an awesome night! The decor was funky, the staff was very accomodating and helpful with our selections,... more

Just back from my third visit. A nice touch is that if one dines there they can arrange for a shuttle to take diners over to the Hanover Theatre for a show and trip back. It doesn't save much on parking after one tips the driver, but it is easy. This time around the restaurant did not offer us a... more

I've eaten at Bocado twice and had excellent food both times! My first experience included ordering the Bocado "experience"...a fixed price menu that includes two cheese courses, several tapas courses and then topped off with a traditional paella AND dessert. All the courses were delicious, but way too much food for 2 people! Stick with ordering individual tapas: better value... more

Easily one of my favorite restaurants, the tapas at Bocado is fun and flavorful. They have one of the best wine lists around (provided you are a fan of Spanish wine as I am). They have done a very nice job creating a variey of wine flights for novice imbibers to oneophiles alike. The only disappointment has been the paella,... more

It starts with complimentary valet parking, a gracious greeting, a lovely room and a lively bar. We were seated exactly on time for our reservation and our cocktails came with equal timeliness. The menu was interesting and extensive. For the less adventurous, there is option of choosing a prix-fixe selection. We chose to roam all over, ordering a few nightly... more

My partner and I visited Bocado early in the evening on Halloween,with plenty of cash in our pockets and dressed to the 9's, in hopes of the beginning of a grand evening ! We had heard a lot about Bocado and decided this was the night for magic! Initially, we were delighted by the warm atmosphere, a gracious (and tastefully... more

This is such a fun and great place to eat! The food is fantastic and different for the Worcester area. It is an experience in itself. Its a place one can go to just get away and forget about everything, but have some fun, good drinks, and delicious spanish food! YUM! Tasteworcester.com also has a great writeup of this restaurant! more
