This is a great place for tapas. Parking is easy, and they is both a patio and a casual, inviting indoor atmosphere.
As for the food, I absolutely loved the mushrooms; it's a delightful mix of sweet and salty flavors, perfectly caramelized, simply amazing! The Spanish shrimps were also good, although I wish they would offer bread to soak up that yummy garlicky sauce. A couple of my friends seemed to enjoy the Petit filet mignon.
The sangria, while refreshing, leaned more towards a frozen drink style, and I personally prefer a more traditional one.
For dessert, I ordered the chocolate tart. I do have to say that I wish the filling had been less compact; it was quite challenging to cut through it without a piece flying all over. However, my friends raved about the Crème brûlée.
It's interesting to note that 8 years ago I wrote a review of that restaurant and it seems not much has changed, I had made some similar comments about the food.
If tapas aren't your thing, the menu also offers pizza, paella, and other more substantial dishes.
We all enjoyed our dinner, and I would definitely go back!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 3Oh no 1Dec 4, 2016Previous reviewI love tapas, so I was excited to try Dagabi for Happy hour the other night. They have a nice selection of small plates and I especially liked the mushrooms with an amazing sherry balsamic glaze, perfect to soak up with their wood oven baked bread. Both the cheese plate and the assorted cured meat were good but nothing to rave about. The Bandarillas were nice and the sangria refreshing (I wish it was more fruity though.)
Nice selection of desserts, the chocolate tart with Zabaglione was yummy. I really liked the walnut-almond crust, very tasty with the sauce. Warning, it's a little hard and challenging to cut, you may not want to order that one on a first date, I had a couple pieces fly all over the table.
I can't wait to go back and try more of their tapas, or even a paella. The food is satisfying and simple, the atmosphere pleasant and prices reasonable, a good combination for a very enjoyable evening. - Molly S.Saginaw, MI010Mar 21, 2024
My husband and I both got the salmon special and it was delicious! Already planning a trip back soon. Service was spot on and the cocktail menu looked great although we didn't try. Highly recommend if you're in the area

Truly the worst restaurant experience of my life. The $11 margarita was terrible and I had one sip and sent it back. My Tapas Pizza was cold and when I asked for parmesan cheese, the server put most of it in my lap. My daughter's Ceasar salad with chicken was inexplicably on a 4" x 10" plate which meant that it could not be eaten without half of it spilling on to the table. My wife's Pasta Bolognese was a yellow-brownish color and had a fishy taste to it. If that was not bad enough, the service was even worse and management was nowhere to be found. Save your money and go somewhere that actually knows how to operate a restaurant and serve good food.

A place in Boulder with actual parking!
The staff is always friendly and attentive. Tapas are excellent, the drinks are good. This is a fun place for us to hit happy hour but oftentimes we stay and have dinner.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 5, 2021
Dagabi Cucina is truly a hidden gem as I was beyond impressed with their service, food and ambiance.
Can't think of a better Saturday night: scrumptious food, amazing drinks AND, as an extra special bonus, they had live music as well. It was definitely worth the drive to Boulder.
Everything we had was really good: mushrooms, kebabs, pizza, and lobster bisque soup. I really want to try their home made linguini next time.
The house cab was just ok but their lemon drop martini was one of the best ones I've ever had!
Their special for dessert that night was chocolate covered pear (marinated in liquor), and it was so yummy!!
I definitely recommend visiting Dagabi Cucina if you find yourself in Boulder!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Jun 19, 2021
Spanish/Mediterranean fun. Tapas, but also entress, plus also Happy Hour menu makes for lots of tastiness but as bit of confusion as well. Eclectic decor. Decent cocktail and wine menus.
Service was bit frazzled tonight -- we went with several tapas plates, but also an entree and a salad to share, and the latter came out waaaaay after the others. Our water bottle was perennially empty, too.
Overall, though, that good flavors make it worthwhile.Helpful 5Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0 - Sam W.Washington, DC081Nov 26, 2023
We had an outstanding meal. The fried peppers were delicious, and the margherita pizza had to be one of the best pizzas I ever had -- not too thin, not too thick, just right. We sat in the bar and the ambiance was perfect. The service was excellent too. I would return to the restaurant in a heartbeat.

For the price, this is the best restaurant in Boulder. Exceptional service, DELICIOUS food, and an atmosphere that's a step up from casual sets it apart from the rest.
I love Dagabi!!!

Food had no salt (petit filet mignon, clams). Cesar salad came out with no dressing whatsoever. The calamari came out cold. Most watered down old fashioned my fiancé had ever had. The dates were good and mushrooms were tasty but looked like they came out PF Changs. Waitress forgot our drinks. Space was appealing and well lit, only redeeming quality actually. Waste of 130$ for two do not recommend
