The entire experience here was wonderful. Our server Mario and the manager Javier were so accommodating and helpful with recommendations. They really went above and beyond. The ambiance was a vibeeee I absolutely loved the decor. What we ordered: - Conchas al fuego (scallops with a flame the plating was exceptional) - Aji explosion ceviche (HUGE and also insane presentation) - Pork belly ceviche (pork belly fanatics so this was a must for us) - Acevichado roll (the sauce on this roll WOW) - Inca roll (this roll was fried & so unique) - Pulpo a la parrilla (perfectly cooked and the plating was unreal. Potatoes paired perfectly) - Parrilla marina (one of my favs of the night we devoured this) - Pasta en tinta de calamar en salsa a lo macho y mariscos (beware of the squid ink pasta making your teeth back HAHA we didn't realize but delish) read more

I visited Aji Ceviche in St. Pete and really enjoyed the experience. The restaurant itself is very trendy, clean, and inviting. I ordered the Arroz con Pato, which features tender duck braised in a cilantro-beer sauce served over green rice, along with papa a la huancaina and criolla sauce. The rice was rich, flavorful, and had a nice level of spice to it. The creamy yellow sauce on the side was absolutely delicious and added a great balance to the dish. The portion was hearty and filling, making it a satisfying meal. My only critique is that I would have liked a bit more duck, as i feel the carb to protein ratio wasn't well balanced Overall, a very enjoyable meal in a beautiful space. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu. read more

You know it's good when your Peruvian friend wants to come here! The space is warm and beautiful, and it filled up quick on a Wed night so reservations recommended. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Cocktails were authentic and refreshing! Our friend helped us pick out our dishes and everything was flavorful and fun to try! Parking is typical downtown st pete, street or garages for $$$. Definitely come check this place out if you want to try some place new and different for a night out! read more

**** Review 168 **** Came here as a birthday surprise. The restaurant is definitely a trendy, downtown St. Pete type of place. The staff was really nice and attentive. Food portions were good, and food was really good. Being a trendy place, drinks were on the higher end of prices. Same with the food, but it was definitely worth the price. If you like Peruvian food, and are looking for a good time with friends then this might be a place you want to try. Not really an intimate place, since there's a lot of tables and can get a little loud. read more

Wow, I am so grateful to have found this gem! When we happened to go they had a ton of lobster dishes on special which meant it was perfect timing for us. We got the lobster ceviche which was absolutely delish and the star of the meal. The pricing is so reasonable and the size of lobster tail was generous. The fish in the ceviche is fresh and the sauce was flavorful and paired nicely. The conchas à la parmesana were very tasty too. They have a good selection of drinks, also reasonably priced. Mario was our server who is very fun, awesome recommendations and attentive. I can't wait to go back to Aji! read more

Had the Popular ceviche and it was awesome! Jalea - fried seafood, didn't want to get fried but sounded like the best option at the time. It was a big portion and tasty but wished there was a grilled or baked version instead. Service was swell. Place felt new and fresh. Like the setup in there. Drinks were fabulous. Would go back again read more

My friends and I sat at the bar. Great service from the bartender, he was very knowledgeable about the menu. We loved the decor and interesting Peruvian art. I ordered the asian salmon dish with fried rice and noodles. Highly recommend. Salmon was glazed in a sweet bbq sauce. My friend got a fish dish with coconut cream. She really enjoyed it too. We shared the fried plantains. We tried 3 different cocktails. Mine was the andres electric (pisco, mezcal, and a licorice liquor) served chilled in a martini glass. I really enjoyed all the flavors. My friend liked her drink too it was a purple margarita. She got another drink that was served with a flaming side car. read more

Decided to check out this spot and it was good. We had great service from Mario, he was so kind. The food was good, I didn't expect my plate to be so.. small. For $20 it's not really worth it. However the risotto was phenomenal and definitely worth the plate size! I think this spot was good, probably even better bc we used Groupon. And the dining area was very dark, but quaint. You still definitely gotta give it a try read more

I'll start with a confession: I'm not the ideal person to judge a ceviche restaurant. I'll eat ceviche, sure, but I'm never the one ordering it. So this review is less "ceviche connoisseur" and more "what I liked about it." Ambiance: Absolutely gorgeous. Chic, modern, and stylish- something I'd expect in one of the nicer hotels on the Vegas strip. Service: Friendly and attentive, but I really wish the staff offered a bit more detail about the dishes. I'm not well-versed in Peruvian cuisine, and while I'm all for trying new things, I appreciate when the team helps guide the experience beyond: "It's delicious," "It's tasty," or "It's very popular." A little culinary storytelling goes a long way. Food: * Anticuchero - A mixed seafood ceviche plate with grilled octopus. As someone with limited ceviche experience, I still found it very good. * Tampa Pabla Y Fuego - A mixed grilled platter featuring chicken, steak, chorizo, and beef heart. Solid flavors all around, though the chicken leaned a bit dry for my taste. * Arroz Chaufa - My favorite of the night. Peruvian-style fried rice that was flavorful, comforting, and honestly the dish I wish we had started with. Perfect balance, great texture, and the highlight of the entire meal. * Tres Leches with Lucuma - A shared dessert that we would absolutely get again. Light, creamy, and a great finish. Only when I was leaving did I notice they also offer sushi and pasta--so clearly I've only scratched the surface of this menu. For now, consider this a very honest 4-star first impression, with a return visit guaranteed. Looking forward to trying more next time. read more

One of the best meals I've ever had!! I didn't love the drinks but they were pretty. We got fried ceviche balls, sushi that the bartender recommended and then one of the entrees. Service was great even though we were there on a busy New Years Eve night. It was a lively atmosphere and walking in without a reservation we were lucky enough to secure a spot at the bar. Would definitely come back!! read more

My husband and I went here on a recent date night. Cute place with good vibes. The menu is extensive. The scallop appetizer was heavy with the lime to the point of being over powering. My husband got the fried rice which was very flavorful and enjoyable. I had a noodle dish that was equally delicious. The service wasn't great as our service kept disappearing and not checking in for any needs. Would try again as the entrees were good and the location is nice. read more

A true ceviche and Peruvian restaurant. Something DTSTP didn't know it needed in its phenomenal food arsenal. Ceviche was ample for two to share as an appetizer. The Pisco sour was a delight to the eye and mouth. Look forward to the next visit, trying other menu items. Truly authentic all the way down to the Peruvian corn served with ceviche. read more

Extremely Disappointed with Our First Experience Here. Made an Open Table Reservation for 2 People at the Bar for 7pm and when We Arrived the Hostess just Said "Go Ahead" - which Would be Fine - However there were No Two Seats Together at the Bar. Once We Eventually Sat Down No one Greeted Us for about a Solid 10min - No Water No Menus. Eventually I had to Catch the Attention of One of the Many Bartenders and Starter with 2 Pisco Sours. Very Underwhelming Pisco Sours and Service and Decided to take Our Dinner Elsewhere for the Night. A Very Unfortunate Experience as Aji Ceviche Bar came Highly Recommended to Us by a Friend in the Local Service Industry and We were Excited to Try a New Peruvian Restaurant and We Love Peruvian Cuisine. read more

My niece took me to a peruvian restaurant in Tampa, while I was visiting her. She loves this restaurant and I couldn't argue with her. This peruvian food is amazing, the causa was insane. The food is very fresh and delicious. As a Peruvian American this restaurant was well worth it to visit. I will stop by again on my next trip to Tampa. Keep up the good work and thank you to our server Reina. read more

It was so good!! The menu is fairly complicated and the print is small(needs improvement). On the plus side service was great, food was wonderful and the atmosphere was nice!! I took some home and it will be enough for 2 meals for me. Portions are huge! It is quality food and very different from the normal fare downtown. We loved it! read more

Very cool new Ceviche plan in downtown. The service and ambiance here are great. The Ceviche I had was huge and quite tasty.

A treasure! Peruvian cuisine is the epitome of fusion, from the native Inca descendants to the latin Americans to the Japanese. And their menu embraces all of it. We have enjoyed Peruvian food in many places, and this is a treasure! I had ceviche ahunado, which was presented beautifully with scallop shells and garnished with a plumeria blossom (think "lei" from Hawaii). The marinade was perfect. Not too acidic. My partner had ceviche podrosa, a smaller potion with avocado, marinated fish and garnished with a carnation. The sangria is delicious, by the way. My pulpo parrilla was sooo delicious. Each mouthful made me offer thanks to the octopus who gave his life for my sustenance. My partner had pescado a la macho, a lovely fish known as swai, a lovely white fish cooked in a savory criolla sauce. The service was leisurely. Perhaps the range of choices is intimidating, but the food is extraordinary! read more

Excellent food, drinks, and service. Great variety on the menu and I wanted to come back and try many other dishes. The fried rice, chicken & noodles with egg in sweet & sour sauce was scrumptious, as was the octopus. The sangria was deliciious, filled with fruit and mixed just right. The wine was excellent, but there is no wine list and no way to tell what brand of wine it was. Hopefully, they can expand those choices. We shared some of the cookies made in. house for dessert and they tasted like they just came out of the oven - delicious! We will be back again soon as we live in the neighborhood. read more

I have been there four times with groups since opening day. The food can be very good, although inconsistent since the same meal can be prepared differently on different days. What is really lacking are cloth napkins. A restaurant in this price range should have more than thin paper napkins when serving meals that can be pricy. The service is fine. I hope it succeeds. read more
