Aioli Bodega Espanola, Sacramento, California Restaurant Details

Food:

Food is good but service is rude specially the French guy that looks like frustrated italian ruins the whole experience and its a shame because the place is nice but the service is bad for the good of the restaurant they should take action

Food:

This has been a great stand-by restaurant in Sacramento, Excellent wines, Superb lamb dishes. Great use of space and an excellent place to entertain guests for a special occassion or holidays. We have never been disappointed.

Food:

I am deaf, and so therefore use the California Relay; when I just now called, the man who answered went, "No No No No No No" and then hung up. I had asked for two large flans for a wedding reception.

Food:

Nice place to have food, the food was excellent, was visiting Sac and people recommended this place for our group.

Food:

Aioli's serves some of the best Spanish tapas in Sacramento. There is a nice European feel to the place, intimately lit and a patio area in back. On some nights they also have a live guitarist strumming flaminco music.

My wife and I eat here almost every year for our anniversary and they always deliver. Every time we go, we order 1-2 small plates dishes that we know we love and then we let the waiter/waitress order everything else based on what he/she thinks looks good for the night. We have yet to be disappointed with this approach.

A few personal favorites:
Bruschetta with garbonzo puree and carmelized black figs (We thought it sounded odd but it tasted wonderful!)
Mussels in garlic sauce
Stuffed tomato
Beef short ribs

With 3 kids of my own, we have never taken them to Aioli's. It's probably not the best place to go with little kids as it's often crowded with small dining tables.

In Spanish tradition, the dining experience at Aioli's is just that, an experience. Don't go to Aioli's if you are trying to make it to a show/performance in 45-60 minutes. The food delivery can be slow at times but they have a great wine selection to make up for it. Go to Aioli's for the tapas/wine, to catch up with an old friend or for a romantic dinner.

Aioli's is a Spanish dining experience. Enjoy!
