Flamenco is an eclectic art form originating from the cultural melting pot that was the south of Spain, blending together the influences of the Andalusians, Moors, Sephardic Jews, Indians, and Gypsies. Flamenco Boston is rooted in these traditions yet employs modern harmonizations and executions of the iconic rhythms. Enjoy an authentic flamenco experience, filled with dynamic footwork, intricate guitar playing, and passionate singing, showcasing the wide emotional range that this art form has to offer.

La Casa de Pedro is a high-spirited, fun and familial dining destination for fine Latin cuisine. Owner and Chef Pedro Alarcón serves simple, authentic, scratch-made dishes that highlight the traditions of his native Venezuela and broader Latin American heritage. Every guest who walks through La Casa de Pedro's doors may as well be walking through the entrance of Pedro's own home; there is no difference in the level of welcoming hospitality. Pedro's is designed to transport guests to a tropical getaway.
