ZURiTO

If you’re looking for a great Basque tapas spot in Boston, this place is such a fun find. It’s cozy, lively, and perfect for sharing a bunch of plates with friends and just taking your time enjoying some truly spectacular food. The Pimientos Rellenos de Bacalao were seriously good—sweet roasted peppers stuffed with creamy, flaky salt cod that felt rich but not too heavy. The Croissant de Ibérico was the only disappointment: The jamón Ibérico was perfectly salty, rich and practically melted on the tongue; the croissant however was rather rubbery and a let down. You’ve got to order the Pan con Tomate. It sounds basic, but when it’s done right like this—crispy bread, fresh tomato, great olive oil—it really hits and was so good that we are determined to recreate it at home. The Conservas de

Wow wow wow! Exceeded expectations, truly an outstanding experience from start to finish. Lovely staff who you must listen to with their recommendations and pairings. From the authentic sidra and vermut to the delicious wines and even the simple pan con tomate, everything we tried was as if we were in Spain. We were transported back to our best meals in Spain and Mallorca. There’s a pintxo for everyone but we had a few that we still talk about weeks later, especially the gambas. Will be recommending to everyone we know! Bravo!

I’ve been to Zurito twice now, and each visit has been excellent. The attention to service really stands out—I was seated quickly both times, and the staff made the whole experience smooth and welcoming. Even though it’s in Beacon Hill, where space is usually tight, the restaurant feels open and comfortable (with outdoor seating available as well). The menus are extensive, both for food and drinks, which makes it fun to try a variety of flavors. I highly recommend sampling a few pintxos— Caña de Cabra (goat cheese with marcona almonds on a baguette), pan con tomate, and Gildas are all fantastic. The special of the night, lamb chuletas, was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Tapas like the tortilla española, pulpo plancha, gambas plancha, and the hamburguesa Donostia were also highlights. T

Mixed feelings… Food never disappointed, everything tasted amazing, lots things to try and treat your flavor palette! The same goes for cocktails - whether you want to stick with classics or go their signatures options - you will be satisfied! I would rather come back to this place when the terrace is open to enjoy cute vibe of Beacon Hill but inside is also nice. My only issue was with the service, as both of my times there, staff felt pressuring and like rushing to serve us while we came through reservation and hoped to enjoy our dinner or apéro in a pleasurable manner.

10 stars! Absolutely phenomenal. Loved everything we ate but the cuddle fish and steak tartare were the show stoppers. Cannot recommend this place enough. Great $8 glass of house wine. Some really unique stuff. So much good food I want to eat it all. Staff is so friendly and seem to genuinely like working there. Hannah behind the bar was great and Nader might give the best food introductions ever. Can't wait to go back. Eat all of the things!
