About

Solea offers diners a taste of the culinary heritage of Spain right in the heart of Moody Street. Since opening our doors in 2001, we’ve made it our mission to give the Greater Boston Area a reason to look forward to sunset every day of the week. We strive for authenticity - especially when it comes to sourcing our ingredients and enhancing our menu. Whether you’re coming to the bar to celebrate over a pitcher of our famous Berry Sangria, or dining in to share a few small plates after work, Solea promises a culturally authentic experience you can’t find anywhere but in Spain itself.

Small Plates Good Service Great Decor

While at the farmer’s market, we decided to eat lunch here. I’m guessing Solea is more of a dinner place, but there is no bad time for tapas. And these were quite good. The menu has the whole variety and then some. You cannot make...More

Hits and Misses

This tapas restaurant was hit and miss with the various dishes. The paella was just ok and the small size was too much food for four people. The pao de queijo were tasty (and Brazilian; a little weird for tapas), but pricey. The warm goat...More

Wanted to like it more

It is a beautiful restaurant in a very cool part of town. Normally we love tapas but they dropped the ball. The flavors overall were good but the service was terrible. They were extremely slow and haphazardly brought out our dishes. I wouldn’t recommend.

Worth a drive

We happened upon Solea when it was still new and are so happy it has endured. If you’re lucky enough ever to have been to Spain, Solea will remind you of that. The food is delicious, although, as with many other restaurants, the prices seem...More

Fun place to go with a group of four to eight people

It is a traditional tapas restaurant on busy Moody Street. Parking is not always easy. The restaurant is not quiet but it has a fun feel to it which works well with a great variety of small bites and excellent drinks.

Dinner with old friends

Wonderful tapas restaurant. Extensive menu with lots of good choices. Try the calamari, the liver pate or any of their numerous dishes. Good value, great service. We will go back for sure.

Overrated and expensive but good food

The title says it all. This place is on a busy street, overacted and quite expensive for a tapas place. The service is ok and the food is good

A lively meal after work...

After a team-building event, my office dined at Solea. The food was excellent; flavorful without being over the top, well-presented, and in quantity. The sangrias were right on target for some post-work relaxation. I plan on going again.
