    I’ve been here a couple times and I just can’t get past the fact that they squeeze so many tables into the space that I’m constantly moving to let either a server by or another customer going to their table. The food is fine. Our particular server spent too much time at our table talking. Just not a spot for me.

    Best ever appetizer—grilled octopus. Very noisy atmosphere but food makes it worthwhile.

    So grateful to have made reservations since it was Mother’s Day. The restaurant was busy but the wait staff and kitchen crew did a fantastic job in keeping up with demand and flow of patrons. I ordered the crab ravioli and it was fantastic! There was no skimping on the amount of crabmeat inside each ravioli. And the cream sauce was not overpowering, which is saying a lot from me…I typically do not like cream sauces or a lot of it. My husband ordered the linguini with seafood (shrimp, lobster, mussels, calamari, and clams). He said his dish was excellent and just the right amount of pasta and seafood. I sampled his dish and the seafood was spot on and nicely cooked, not overdone. This was our first visit to Acqua di Dea and we will definitely return when the weather warms up enough to sit outside! I definitely would recommend this restaurant. For the amount of food we received, with the top notch quality of food, and excellent attention by all the wait staff, the cost definitely was not bad. We’ve paid just as much when eating at Texas Roadhouse. I would pick Acqua, hands down, over some chain -lace like Texas Roadhouse.

    The restaurant was a total disappointment. We made a reservation for the patio since the pictures looked nice and the weather was perfect for the day. It was. For a party of 5. STAY AWAY from patio… yo the street from Harley frequented patrons so loud obnoxious music as they stroll the street trying show off or whatever they do. I have frequented its sister restaurant casa la Luna which is amazing so I figure we try this one. 1. The service was so slow. Waiter was nice but could not be found. 2. Outdoor is a huge mistake. It is in w.6th and the street has just gone down. Down 4 storefronts is a biker bar so all we got was thuggish garbage revvimg their Harley’s, parking and blasting their loud music. For the while 1.5 hours we were there. A nice Saturday 5:30 evening with kids and mom for mother’s day dinner. Plus we have hoodlike people walking although they place arborvitae and screening but the smoke, and swearing from people. Very bad outside. 3. Food presentation was good, food value was okay. 4. The inside of the restaurant is very lovely. However the service while we were one of the first few table as they were not busy yet was so slow. In the hour by 6:38 from out 5:30 reservation we didn’t even have out main course and I had to ask about our food and look for our waiter. I rarely write a review u less I think people will benefit from it. This is the last time dining here. Location is in a bad element filled noisy part of w6th street. Not the restaurants fault. But if we have a choice we won’t go. Plenty of better restaurants in the city to go.

    Food was great!! Although, before anyone was actually asked what they would like for dessert, a birthday tiramisu was brought out for my mother and then what seemed like a nice compliment of the restaurant ended up on our bill. Update: manager reached out and rectified charge. We will certainly be returning to try more of the menu. Highly recommend for all fish lovers.
