Can"t speak to anything but the pizzas. We ordered 2 for take out and they each were a complete disappointment. The margarita pizza was bland tasting - no yummy tomato/cheese/fresh basil wow at all. As bad was the crust, which was soggy with uncooked pizza dough on the bottom yet burnt edges. Just bad.. The Coco Catalina pizza toppings were tasty and plentiful, however the crust was dry and blah - it looked and tasted more like pita bread. The place gets good reviews, but maybe it's for the tapas. Definitely not for pizza. read more

Awesome business! Great staff, super food, very consistent, cozy atmosphere, nice patio that is not on the street!

Delicious spot for small plates and variety. A must try if you are from out of town and looking for a unique place for dinner.

We ordered Degabi's delivery. Our Expectations were surpassed, excellent food and delivered on time. So delicious, thank you, Degabi's!

Our First time was on FRIDAY Josh the server was excellent, he was attentive with a great attitude. Food was fantastic, the two appetizers were yummy MUSHROOMS & FETA CHEESE, Josh recommended the STUFFED, WRAPPED DATES (excellent balance of sweet & salty flavors -crisp finishing on the ham) Entrees - Natalia had the PAELLAS MARISCOS (Rich in flavor and generous amount of Shellfish) and I had the POLLO MARSALA (nice portion and tasty) We went back on SUNDAY for HAPPY HOUR - Mikey was our server and once again excellent service and very attentive. You can tell after both our visits that the staff really cares about what they do and wants to provide a good dinning experience. I had a few cold Peroni's with a very tasty Margarita Pizza, Natalia had the FRESH STEAMED MUSSELS and a BEEF-CHICKEN MEATBALL with Marinara. Plates cleaned and glad we went both times. We Will be Back Soon, Thanks Dagabi Cucina Staff, well done! Bob & Natalia read more

The food at Dagabi is top notch. I love their paellas and pastas but sometimes "force" myself to order something else. Last night, the special salad was the surprise hit and was the second-best salad I've ever had, after only the salade gourmande at the late (and much missed) Z Cuisine. Service is always excellent, they have some great cocktails and a solid, well-curated (but not expansive) wine list, and they have some great desserts as well. All of this at a very reasonable price point. What's not to like about this "neighborhood" eatery? I have literally no complaints. read more

I admit, I'm a sucker for cute little places like this. The food was excellent, patio seating was nice and the service was really great. We actually visited two nights in a row because while we were there on Monday night, we learned that Tuesday nights are tapas nights, so I insisted we return. The first night I tried their Monday night paella, I was not disappointed (see pic). Lobster, mussels and clams, oh my! Tuesday night we tried a sampling of the tapas menu, which there was plenty to choose from. All plates were devoured. read more

Dagabi Cucina - Lobster paella, yum. - Mediterranean Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

I love this place and go often. The food is always good and consistent. Go early if you don't have reservations as it fills up quickly. Service is good and the ambiance is good too. read more

I am not too familiar with Spanish food, but DaGabi Cucina was an excellent introduction. First off, the ambiance and location are great. It's sort of off the beaten path (tucked away behind Lucky's in North Boulder) so it's quiet and kind of secluded. The restaurant itself is so pretty too-we got to eat on the patio and they had it all decked out in twinkle lights and candles. Now, the important part: the food! They served us a pita type bread before our entrees with a really fantastic balsamic vinaigrette spread. I had a really difficult time choosing because everything sounded so good, but I chose the pollo vollery (a citrus tomato chicken with green beans and artichokes.) It was pitch perfect. It was definitely a memorable meal. I paired that with their house chardonnay (a steal for $6!) and it was very good. They also had a tempting tray of desserts, but we were all so stuffed from our meals, we couldn't do it! read more

Dagabi Cucina - Mediterranean Near Me - Boulder, Colorado

Food was great! We got the pasta and it tasted good. Service was a little slow as it was busy, but overall a very nice place!

We hosted a rehearsal dinner for 70 people here last week and Tanya and her team were amazing! She was communicative through the whole planning process and the food was excellent (and plentiful). The kitchen handled the large number of orders hitting all at once perfectly and the tables were served with great timing. The ambiance was just what we were looking for and I highly recommend Dagabi for any private party needs! Thank you again Tanya!! read more

I went to Dagabi for the first time for high school prom, and had a really good meal. Now that my tastes have matured, I can still say that I love Dagabi. For appetizer, I like the melanzane con caprino (a grilled eggplant stuffed with cheese). Their pastas are homemade and fresh; my favorites are the Pappardelle alla Bolognese (pasta ribbons in meat sauce), the Penne al Pollo (includes artichoke hearts in a pesto sauce), and the Zuppa di Pesce (seafood over linguini). The best time of dinner at Dagabi is dessert time though, as the server brings out a large plate of all the dessert options for you to drool over. Although they all look good, I always get the Zabaglione (this absolutely delicious liquid custard thingy with marsala wine). I can eat the Zabaglione until I get drunk on it, and then keep eating it until I am hungover from it the next day. Oh, note to high school prom-goers: this probably won't be a good choice for you... read more

FABULOUS FOOD FIND! Traveling as often as I do and being a full blown fine foodaholic I am not timid when it comes to weather, neighborhoods, or cuisine. It was snowing pretty hard in a Monday night and I couldn't find this joint based on address. There's an oasis of business in the middle of a residential neighborhood with Lucky's market as the centerpiece. I saw a little american bistro and an Asian restaurant surely my GPS was wrong... Or is it??? Packed well out of site (on a dark and snowy evening) Is Dagabi Cucina a must visit never give up looking joint of joint in North Boulder. It's quaint inside and has a nice atmosphere of fine dining and rustic relaxation. I waited at the hostess desk and for a short time thought I was the only patron. Soon enough a lovely lady brought me to the forts dining area however I chose to be around more people and she led me to the back bar area. This was a cool place for a lone biz traveler yet it was just a little too dark to read the menu. No worries, she has a tiny reading light. That's creative. Keep it dark guys I liked it but it made the food photos tough. I don't like using my flash on my phone cam The food was fabulous and surprisingly affordable. The service was top shelf and food delivery to the table was nearly perfectly timed. People reading this please note; this place is a gem and you have to come and see for yourself. LOVED IT!!! FoodDude! read more

See all

We used to get to this place frequently when we lived on that side of town. So it was great to find that the food and service is still good. Value was very good. We shared plates among 4 of us... And the paella . Paella and pasta dishes were a little on the bland side... but still good. They did forget one dish (scallops) that we had ordered, but with that it would have been too much food. So we never brought it up and it wasn't on the check. I had a lemon drop martini and it was excellent. Nice diverse crowd and glad we made a reservation for 6:30 as the place was full up. read more

The service was pretty slow as I believe there was a shift change, but everywhere is rough at the moment for good service. Food was killer and the bread, OMG. read more

I went here with my family and we got several different tapas to share. Everything was delicious. Get the stuffed dates. They're up there on the "best things I've ever eaten" list. read more

I generally love the opportunity to sample highly rated Spanish food in any town I visit. Dagabi was a tantalizing option, predominantly because it offers paella, a personal favorite. It was, unfortunately, crushingly disappointing. The rice was mushy, under seasoned and there wasn't even a hint of saffron in the dish. On the positive side of the equation, plenty of seafood found it's way into this dish and the portion was large enough to satiate any appetite. My daughter had the seafood stew (Zarzuela de Mariscos), which again yielded a bounty of seafood. In a replay of the paella review, it was under seasoned, and wholly underwhelming. If another option for Spanish food presents itself, take it. read more

We ordered takeout for the first time from Dagabi. Now, knowing it's takeout, I was keeping my expectations loose. It's a crazy time right now and during all the COVID stuff going on, I wasn't going to be too harsh on the food. But WOW, my expectations were SO surpassed. Everything was fresh and made with good quality ingredients. My appetizer, meal and dessert deal was only $30 (see their special menu) and everything was delicious! I'm a fairly harsh critic of Spanish food, and I mean it when I say I'd happily return here. I'd probably skip the dessert next time and try more of the tapas. I will definitely be back! read more

I was under impressed with the paella as the rice was over cooked. The calamari app was over breaded. The service was decent but the table next to us got much more attention due to chatting up Castilian with the staff. Needless to say, we were disappointed. read more

Omg their balsamic mushrooms are to die for!! Tanya and Noah the owners are so friendly and kind and they genuinely care about their customers experience. The atmosphere here is perfect for date night read more

I've been going here for many years. My experience has been consistently wonderful. I usually order off the tapas menu. I enjoy eating a variety of different foods, and they have a good selection of vegetarian tapas. The two pizzas on the tapas menu are terrific - very thin crust, served piping hot, and delicious. The consistently great service here tells me that whoever does the hiring and staff training really knows what she's doing. The servers are very professional yet always willing to joke around when customers like me initiate it. The ambiance is suitable for a romantic dinner or for a fun gathering of friends or family. My wife and I both love this place. We recommend it highly. read more

This is the most uninspired tapas place I've ever been to. My husband and I ordered a few small plates... not only were they bland but they all came out at the same time. Worse yet, the server barely acknowledged our existence. The only reason this place gets stars is because the bread was delightful (even though we had to ask for it) and the Manhattan was solid. If you do end up here, get a drink and ask for bread. Then go to the Chinese (cash only) place next door. read more

This is a great spot with delicious food that will bring you back to your Spanish vacation. There are plenty of options too that aren't just paella i.e. some things on the Italian side like Caesar salad and linguini. Everything we tried (a bunch of tapas) was delicious!! Especially the Serrano ham-wrapper dates. read more

We are here on Sunday evening and was less than impressed. I had ordered the $13 filet mignon under tapas, and our server had charged me for a $30 dollar meal. Not to mention the server came by only twice the whole meal. Poor service and I did not appreciate the server doubling my meal price by giving me the wrong order. Would not recommend because the server will just enter what they want you to eat and pay. read more

Always love this neighborhood gem! Never ending options and menu options each time make it a new experience.

A comfy, quaint interior with excellent service. A diverse menu with something for everyone. A great drink list with wine for sale by the glass. Overall, we had a good, relaxed experience in which we weren't rushed and we could order a few tapas at a time. However, we found most of the food to be underwhelming in flavor. In fact, the artichokes taste like they came from a can; they were rubbery and nearly inedible. The best thing on the menu, worthy of 5 stars alone, is the stuffed dates. DELICIOUS. I'd go back just for those dates and a glass of wine and be 100% satisfied. read more

Amazing restaurant!! Everything is so tasty and high quality! I love all the tapas and sharing with friends. I will most definitely be going back the next time Im in Boulder, Co read more

We ordered pasta bolognese. It was pasty and the consistency was like dog food. It didn't have hunks of ground meat, but the Meat was smashed like near paste. The pasta was over cooked. We shared the chicken and sausage paella and it was more flavorful than the pasta dish, but it ranks low among paella I've had elsewhere. We left feeling like we ate just to fill ourselves instead of feeling satisfied good food. We won't be back. read more

Tasty, interesting, varied, fun neighborhood bistro that will be of interest for the entire region.

Food was great and appreciate outdoor atmosphere during COVID, but service was horrible. Restaurant was not that busy, but waiter seemed either very inexperienced, or not well trained, and would take 20 minutes to come back to the table. read more

Was in the mood for some tapas, so we decided to venture out and try someplace new. I'll admit I ate here a while ago, and while I thought the food was decent, I don't think it knocked my socks off (as much as another very popular tapas place in the same city). A nice thing is that there's happy hour on Saturday, and a lot of people seem to go for that. Otherwise, a bonus is that it's not very crowded and you'll get seated and served quite easily. read more

Best service and fantastic food. Authentic and creative, with a perfect balance of flavors. Most authentic spanish cuisine outside of Spain. Nice representation of the different regions of Spain. I appreciate the gluten free options on the entire menu and the gluten free desserts truly remarkable Definitely my favorite spanish food restaurant The service is attentive and curtious, way above average Eating in the terrace creates a nice European ambiance If you want something unique and quality you need to check it out read more

EXCELENTE! Start to finish this was our best dining experience in the 10 days we've been here in Boulder. We've been to Spain several times, our kids even studied there when they were in college and we can say with a great degree of accuracy, this was as good as it gets for Spanish food without going back to Europe. Our server, Gabby, made it a magical night for us. Two in our party were vegans and Gabby was very knowledgeable of what menu items were appropriate for them - and there were quite a lot of options. The wine selection is extensive and their cocktails are very unique and very good. Great tapas selection that took us back to Madrid and Barcelona - muy bueno. The paella was filled with fresh seafood as were the other entrees with generous portions; we had plenty left over for a second meal at home. Salud and Gracias to Gabby, the chef and the entire staff at Dagabi Cucina. We've already made a date for Tuesday again when happy hour is all night long. See you there! read more

We sat outside in the new Covid accommodations and it was wonderful! We were able to bring the dog and had a great time. Food was awesome!

OMG, are these people bad! The food was fine, but service?...Granted, the last people before us were done at about 9:30. That left the three of us, celebrating a (big!) birthday, as the only people in the place. We probably noticed we were the last ones 15 minutes later, at about 9:45. The chairs were up, the music was off and a football game was on, loud. The heat had been turned down. We got it: time to go. HOWEVER, once we got up to leave, we noticed that a birthday gift, still wrapped in its bag, was missing--a $500 gift! The bartender said, "Well, we dumped all our garbage 2 hours ago," which we well understood: He was pissed we were still there. Fine. But he wasn't going to do anything about it! I, me, one person, finally went on my own behind the bar, regardless of his protestations, to rummage through the trash. Sure enough, there it was. The gift, still in its package. I have lived in this neighborhood since 1978. I've come to this restaurant for years and years; this time it was to celebrate a birthday of a friend who does not even live here. This sort of service is something you expect of a diner or take-out pizza place, perhaps, but probably not even. It's the sort of last-decade service you don't expect to see at all anymore. Certainly not the sort of service they would like to be known for giving--that of fine Italian dining. I will NEVER recommend, or go to, this place again! read more

I came to this place before and it was amazing. Not only did they raise their prices but their polenta gave me food poisoning.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a tapas-type restaurant that offered small tastings without the large bill commonly associated with such trendy establishments. We found exactly what we were looking for in Dagabi! This place is truly a gem tucked in a small shopping plaza in North Boulder. Good drinks. Good food. Good service. The patio was a little too chill for dinner but the inside of the establishment was accommodating enough. We had an assortment of food including delicious pan fried red trout, chorizo skewers, goat cheese and shrimp. The shrimp was a little overdone, however, still tasty. As far as the service goes, overall it was great but the hostess seemed a little new and lacked attention. We will be returning! read more

DaGabi Cucina may be easy to miss, but not easy to forget! Although a little hard to find - buried in a shopping center on Broadway and Quince - it's so worth seeking out this little hidden gem! I can tell you right now: - if I lived in Boulder, I'd be a regular, no doubt about it. Small plates are my absolute favorite way to eat, and they do them so well here. Between 7 yelpers at office hours this week, we sampled a good deal of the HH tapas menu and the tab was totally reasonable - and we had food left over, too. Here's what I can vouch for: - House wines - I know, right? I think the perception is that house wines can be mediocre, the rioja I sampled at HH (at $3.50 a glass) was outstanding - Steamed fresh mussels. The spicy sauce is so flavorful, and finger-licking good. We all agreed this one was of our favorite dishes of the meal. - Fried calamari - Gnocchi with basil aioli - Sauteed venus clams - Boquerones - white anchovies with salpicon sauce over grilled bread - I could eat this every day!! That good. - Spiedini - grilled artisan sausages with veggies. I can see how not everyone would love this, but it was a favorite for me. - Desserts. Holy heck! We tried the chocolate flourless cake, which sent many of us into eye rolling bills, the tiramisu (quite good) and the creme brulee. The atmosphere is cool and calming, as well, with unique decor. It was too warm for me to sit on the patio, but it was packed by the time we left - quite lovely. Service was spectacular and attentive without being overly so. Five stars, DaGabi. read more

Great dinner at Dagabi last night! Made reservations via open table, but when we were arrived we were told we had to wait....so we waited and waited...fortunately we weren't in a hurry and the hostess staff were really great. They brought us drinks...comp'd....and when we finally sat down service was spectacular. We ordered multiple apps including shrimp and an app size pasta. The bread and balsamic dipping sauce was also spectacular. The Spanish style calamare was perfect and went quickly. For dinner, I had the seafood stew which had plenty of salmon, octopus and shrimp. The linguine and clams was another table favorite. portion sizes were quite large and we over ordered so good to know for next time. read more

What a cool place..kind of hard to find but it is well worth it. It looked like they had great entrees but the appetizers sounded and looked delightful. We just missed happy hour but the apps are reasonable and there is an option for a red or white $20 bottle of wine. Done! This was perfect for my belated birthday dinner with my hot lady date, aka my bff that lives in Boulder. She and I ordered the crab/salmon cakes, shrimp wrapped in bacon, a potato/egg tortilla number (similar to a quiche) and the calamari which was outstanding! Each appetizer was served with a bit of salad, with no dressing...seemed like a waste but we used the dressing from the yummy bread they served beforehand to douse the greens. Our waitress was great and gave us a free tiramisu for my birthday. This one is in my top five, ever. What a great start to the night. I'd come back for the bread, calamari and tiramisu anyday! read more
