This is a nice place for Spanish-style food in a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. When busy, it’s a bit louder than I would like. On our first visit we had paella for two, and it was amazing. On this visit I had a lamb shank, and my wife had halibut. The shank was tender and mild flavored, and served with the bone in a vertical position, which was fun to see. We had a small arugula salad beforehand, which was fresh and tasty. The Rioja bottle of wine was pricey and delicious. Loved the small but perfectly soft flan with a darkly toasted Carmel sauce for dessert. The service was warm and professional. For me this is a nice place to relax and enjoy a special night out.

Aioli is a vibrant celebration of Spanish cuisine that never fails to impress! The warm, lively atmosphere pairs perfectly with the authentic flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Spain. Their paellas are simply phenomenal—rich, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, with every bite capturing the essence of this classic dish. And the mussels? An absolute must-try! Fresh, tender, and expertly seasoned, they’re a standout on an already exceptional menu. Whether you’re sipping on a glass of sangria or savoring their delicious tapas, Aioli delivers a dining experience that’s as unforgettable as it is delicious. Highly recommended for lovers of Spanish cuisine!

Fresh and tasty! This is my 3rd Spanish restaurant in Sacramento and Only this place brings me back to what I ate in Spain. They cooked octopus perfectly! It’s very very soft. If you cook the octopus a little bit long l, it’s tough to chew. If you cook less, it doesn’t absorb the spice and might have a fish smell. This was the best octopus! Mussels and paella are fresh and tasty too. A Server was nice enough and I enjoyed my meal quite well. Family friendly restaurants

Great home-like restaurant! It is very "warm" and peaceful inside ! You can meet the owner there. He will not only help you find a table, but he will try to find the best spot for you, and then he will definitely ask if you like everything, not once! It is very nice and you will feel that friendly atmosphere. The waiters are very helpful and fast. The food is absolutely fresh and delicious! Top notch restaurant! By the evening there are a lot of people, and the restaurant is not big, I advise you to make a reservation! I also advise you to go there during the warm weather to sit outside(courtyard). It's very romantic!

Decent Spanish style tapas that verge into Mediterranean meze at times. Not always the freshest ingredients (shrimp had obviously been frozen for some time). Good selection of wine and excellent suggestions from the staff.

We were here on one of the Saturday nights to celebrate a friend's birthday. All the foods are delicious. The Paella Mariscos will take more time to cook, so we ordered it right after we were seated. I like the Cordero Basco which is a lamb chop. The lamb is so tender and flavored. Kids love the Patatas Bravas which is the grilled potato and the dessert, Flan. Overall all the food is good, and the service is good. Will come back.

Overall this is a great place. Service and atmosphere were pleasant. Having had a lot of Spanish food due to our heritage, we were very much looking forward to the food and felt that, even though it was good, it was not amazing. We ordered the patatas bravas, the gambas al ajillo, the seafood paella and the lamb chops. The potatoes and the lamb chops were great - but the gambas were a bit on the colder side. The paella was just underwhelming - not bad but not amazing. Overall would come back for a spanish food craving, service was great.

The food itself was delicious, the majority of meals on the menu are served at small portions, so you may need to order a lot to have your fill. Our waiter was very welcoming, but it seemed that if you weren't a regular, treatment towards the customer may be different. I wished him a goodnight, making eye contact, before leaving, but he was too preoccupied in greeting others merely walking past the restaurant.

My boyfriend and I had a pleasant evening for our dinner. We made reservations ahead of time but they were able to seat us earlier than that when we arrived early. Our server was friendly and attentive. The artwork throughout the restaurant was beautiful and reminiscent of the time we went to Spain. Our food arrived quickly and tasted exactly as I expected. I only rated it as a four because the food was good, but it wasn’t spectacular. It’s definitely worth trying out and a great place to bring a date.

This is a tricky one. The food tasted amazing but I ended up in the ER from ecoli. The spinach has got to be cooked better! The halibut was the best I ever had though. Ugh. Wow I had skipped the greens. The atmosphere was really nice but the crowd there was so extremely loud that we couldn’t hear eachother at all. And to the manager ~ it was the only place I had Warren out in the week I got sick so yes, sadly it was the dinner there. Super awful to have these hospital bills now and a week out of commission just before the holidays.

The experience was pretty average overall. The food was regular — nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. Presentation left a lot to be desired; the plates, cups, and cocktail glasses felt more like a casual café than a Spanish restaurant aiming for a quality dining experience. The menu was quite limited, with many items feeling repetitive. While the prices aren’t extremely high, they don’t match the quality you’re getting. One real highlight was the staff — friendly, attentive, and professional. Unfortunately, even the tablecloths were just paper covers, which didn’t help elevate the atmosphere. Not terrible, but definitely not impressive.

Disappointing experience. Despite having an email confirmation for a special occasion, the staff insisted our reservation wasn't in the system and were quite rude about it. We were placed in a cold spot by the entrance. Additionally, the 'add protein' option for my pasta turned out to be an undisclosed $15 charge for a very meager portion of chicken. Overall, the service was poor and the value for money is simply not there. I would not recommend it.
