    The Amaroni was the worst I have ever tasted; I don't know why any restaurant would have this particular brand on their wine list.

    Food was excellent . Too much blueberry on filet. Server was superb and found my credit card in the dimly lit room. Wine list is very high-priced make that VERY. Noise is loud so much so conversation was difficult. I missed a traditional insalata mixta

    We visited Acqua Al 2 for a birthday dinner for my husband. We had traveled to Florence, Italy earlier in the fall, so we were interested in seeing how close to a Firenze experience this was. Acqua Al 2 is in a great building - exposed brick, ambient lighting, cozy booths and tables - very welcoming. Service was solid, and the menu had many interesting options. The only minor detraction would be execution in the kitchen. Salads come to you straight out of the walk in cooler, and are too cold. The Primi (pasta) was quite good (we ordered the rigatoni with eggplant). I ordered the grilled veal chop and DH ordered the filet with blueberry reduction, and both were just ok. The grill was dirty perhaps and the chop tasted of burned grease. The blueberry reduction was overwhelming and smothered the filet. It wasn't bad, but it needed some herbaceous element to offset the sweetness. Overall a positive experience though!

    Everything was wonderful, especially our server. The only total irritant was the fact we were sitting next to two people who were very loud about their intimate personal life... my husband and I had to endure it for an hour… And they are not the type of people you can ask to tone it down. Otherwise, everything was marvelous
