Best Authentic Restaurants in La Riviera

We stopped by Ella's bar for appetizers and drinks at the bar while waiting for a friend. Claire W, working the bar, immediately made us feel at home. Cocktails, wine, and a couple of small plates, and everything was perfect. Super yummy, nicely presented, perfect portions. Claire answered all our questions, gave us good insight into what to expect from the small plates, and her wine recommendations were spot-on. Claire also has the perfect personality for the hospitality industry. Warm, open, patient, knowledgeable, and fun. We loved her!!! Next time we fly in to Sacramento, we're definitely heading to Ella's. You should too!!!

This is one of our faves in Sacramento. They never disappoint. The halibut was exceptional and my husband loves the lamb here every time. We are lucky to have such a wonderful restaurant in Sac with great food, friendly service and such a cool vibe.

We celebrated my wife’s birthday dinner here, and we absolutely loved the experience! Tim was our server, and he was fantastic—very attentive and provided excellent recommendations. The food, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. Highly recommend this place to everyone

First time visiting. Had a very good dinner. Happy to have made a reservation as it was crowded. We will be back.

Excellent service. We had young kids and they got the food out quickly. Great experience for the whole family.
