Tasca

Review
Tasca is an epicurean delight in the mouths of Bostonians. Nestled conveniently on Commonwealth Ave in Brighton it matches delicious Tapas with a uniquely European atmosphere. While you cannot go wrong with any dish on the menu, the crab cakes and goat cheese fritters will likely enchant your pallet. Tapas dinners can be equally acceptable for a party of two or twenty, allowing everyone in your party to both try an old favorite, or go beyond their culinary comfort zone. For those of you over the legal drinking age, a carafe or pitcher of sangria is highly recommended, but be careful, this delicious concoction can sneak up on you!

Tasca is by far my favorite restaurant in the area. Each of their tapas is unique and delicious, and the weekly sangria specials are always fantastic. I have never had bad service there- the wait staff is always friendly and the atmosphere is perfect. I've never had something there I didn't like, but a few of my favorites are as follows: goat cheese fritters, the black bean crabcake, and the sizzling shrimp and garlic. The roasted duck is also fantastic. Tasca also is very vegetarian-friendly, with more variety and selection than found at many restaurants. I highly recommend joining their email mailing list for great deals and promotions each week!

Tasca is, by far, my favorite restaurant in the area. Consider first the food: Tapas style dishes allow you to try several different smaller menu items, allowing you to satiate a desire for several different types of food all at once. In a sitting you can go from goat cheese fritters to well seasoned crab cakes with salsa to braised short rib to roasted duck. I have yet to have a dish there that I have not enjoyed. The bread and humus that is provided with the meal is wonderful In terms of dcor, it has a great atmosphere, seating is certainly close, but by no means is it too close. The dining areas have low light and there is often very nice Spanish guitar music played either live or through speakers. The background music helps dim out the other conversations around you without losing the ability to hear others in your party. For service, I have yet to have a bad experience. The waiters are always busy, but attentive and more than willing to grab you an extra pitcher of sangria or basket of bread.

My wife and I recently enjoyed a lovely meal at Tasca. We went on a special 3 course meal promotion night and were not disappointed. Three courses for $16! Seared tuna appetizer was cooked perfectly with a great spicy mayo. My main course was an AWESOME gumbo with Chicken, shrimp, and sausage.For dessert I enjoyed an above average Flan. Another great meal at Tasca!
