Got there on at about 7:00pm on Friday, May 17th. Still some street parking available at that time. We waited at the bar for less than 15min for our table of 2. The atmosphere is great with spanish decor as you would expect. The clientele was evenly dispersed between couples, groups of 4, and obviously some co worker groups of... More

Going on a shortbstroll on SI off the ferry ride, we walked into this place totally unaware of what to expect. And it ended up being a great experience. The tapas are inventive and varied and the sangria pitcher struck the right chord, all of it being reasonably priced andvway cheaper than anything similar in Manhattan. If you factor in... More

My friends and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner this past Friday night despite the horrible time we were given when we first arrived Beso. We were a party of six, arriving in two cars. My husband and I drove in from New Jersey and parked in a municipal lot right next to the St. George Theater. Our friends had driven... More

We had lunch in Beso with friends and everyone loved it. We all ordered tapas which was delicious. They are rather big so don't order as many as they recommend - you will too full. My favorite was the quesadilla - I asked them to make it into a veggie version - it was a great combination of tastes inside... More

I love this place. And I HIGHLY recommend making a meal out of strictly tapas. Skip the entrees. I usually order 2-3 rounds of appetizers per visit. The lamb chops are a must. Even if you think you don't like lamb. The floutas are excellent and so is the tuna. Drinks are a little pricey, so maybe booze up down... More

Very good food, nice variety on the menu I had dinner at Beso last night. I sat at bar and had great service from Shawn. This is a pretty small place and it fills up fast. The menu is a Spanish Tapas and small plates that are not that small. They have a very nice variety of meat, seafood and... More

I have been here four times with my wife and I have never had anything that I didn't like. The servers are pleasant and attentive. The only thing that is wrong with Beso is that you will have to wait for a table if you go at a busy time (i.e. friday night). NO reservations for small parties and always... More

Me and my gf went here with a few couples for dinner. We basically ordered alot of tapas plates and everything was delicious. Service was timely and orderly- no complaints. Been here many times before for regular dinner and never had an issue yet. Highly Recommended

Located short walk up from the Staten Island Ferry, Beso is romantic and welcoming. A fantastic menu, featuring both tapas and entrees (but save room for dessert), Beso is a must visit on Staten Island. The lunches are good and inespensive and dinner is an experience - if you are going Thursday- Sunday, get there early- it really packs up.
