We can’t thank the staff at Acqua enough for the incredible dining experience they provided my husband and I while on our honeymoon! It definitely was one of our favorite parts of our entire trip! Our table had been decorated with crystals and pink flower petals to commemorate our romantic honeymoon dining evening. We later found out that the staff member had gone out of her way to buy these decorations once she found out that we were celebrating our honeymoon at Acqua. It was the most thoughtful and sweetest gesture and made our dining experience all the more intimate and special. We started our course with 2 small complimentary appetizers/starters – they had a very refined presentation and were a very tasty treat. We each ordered a glass of wine (their wine list is very exhaustive) – I had the Pio Cesare Nebbiolo, while my husband had the Nals Margreid Chardonnay. They were both good, and we felt very relaxed by them. We then ordered a couple of oysters – this was one of my favorites (or who I am I kidding, I enjoyed every part of my dining experience at Acqua). One of the best oysters I’ve had and they were paired well with their select sauces. We also received a complimentary mini bread basket (they had sourdough, crackers/wafers, and many more) along with olive oil and balsamic. For my entree, I ordered the Acqua Signature Tortelli “Il Mare” - it was beautifully plated, and decadent for its size. My husband ordered the Pan fried Mediterranean sea bass, it was very rich, tasteful, and the capers really brought all the flavors together so well. We then ordered Pizza Acqua, and we are so glad we made room for it. The tomato sauce was like nothing we’d had before – it was so flavorful (my mouth waters as I remember it), paired with such fresh ingredients, it was magical. Would highly recommend trying out the pizza in addition to any entree. To finish off our night, we had the Sicilian “Cannoli” with a special surprise as the staff had decorated our platter with their best wishes on our honeymoon. What a perfect way to end such a lovely night. Throughout our entire experience, the staff was always diligently checking in on us, ensuring we had everything that we needed (without being disruptive). We enjoyed the light hearted conversations we had with the staff and the attention and efforts they took to ensure we had a wonderful dining experience, and an amazing honeymoon night. Thank you Acqua team!
