Acqua Restaurant NYC

Great food and very friendly staff. They're eager to give recommendations (and not the most expensive item as I find staff often do) and wine pairings. We had the ravioli (which was a beef filling and truffle oil sauce), the pappardelle with mushrooms and an absolutely fantastic pistachio chocolate souffle, paired with a $38 bottle of Prosecco. The cocktails sound unique and very well imagined but we were too full to try them. I would absolutely come here again!

We had such a wonderful dinner there! First they greet you in Italian...Very pleasant ambiance, soft music, candles... Very attentive staff... And star of the show was Pappardelle al Tartufo aka homemade wholewheat pasta in light mushroom sauce with a touch of truffle oil ... It was so light and tasty!!! Selection of wine was good as well! I would go there in any given day!!!!

Good food and great service. We had a very romantic table next to the window. The food came out quickly. The table had a candle and flowers. The street out front of the building is cobblestone. It is a very nice area.

Very disappointing, why the misleading reviews? The only thing good was the service,waiters were very friendly. Starting with ipads I knew it wouldn't be great. The interior has terrible acoustics, having all hard surfaces doesn't support one having a conversation. They started with bread which didnt taste fresh. The bruschetta was okay,but again terrible bread. Then we had chicken,which was nothing special and completely flavorless squid ink pasta. The seafood was overcooked and the sauce has no flavor. We ended with chocolate mousse which we only touched once to try. It was berry buttery and not cold. The wine was good. Adding the price to this is a total disbalance between value and quality. Would not recommend.

This is a very nice Italian restaurant. Nice atmosphere, very good service. I recommend this place. I was here for dinner on Friday evening. It was busy, but not overcrowded. Nice light music. Thank you!

Nice place, Italian staff and chef, food is good for the price, but nothing special. Desert for Valentine’s Day was ugly, the cheapest possible, don’t take lamb - it’s more boiled than grilled

We had the best grilled octopus, seafood stew, and lobster with spaghetti!!! Oh, can't leave out the blueberry cheesecake.....!

Solid Italian spot. Standard, classic Italian fare with slightly overbearing service. Our server came over a few too many times with barely any time in between. It made us feel quite rushed and took away from our dining experience. As far as food, I wasn't blown away by anything except the affogato. The food was not memorable...which I guess I'd take over it being awful.
