Delicious Authentic Italian Food! – Great overall dining experience! I may be biased because I absolutely love Italian food, however this charming restaurant met all of my expectations. The menu had so many delicious looking dishes but the friendly and knowledgeable server helped us narrow down our options. We skipped the appetizer since Italian food is pretty heavy and we wanted to save room for dessert. I ordered the gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce which was light and creamy. My boyfriend ordered the filet mignon topped with... read more

ANOTHER TOURIST TRAP – VERY AVERAGE FOOD. SLOW SERVICE. RUDE WHEN WE COMPLAINED ABOUT FOOD ARRIVING COLD. ANOTHER GASLAMP LOSER THAT SERVIVES ON THE TOURISTS.

Mediocre service, Overrated food – I have received far better service at my local diner. The list of reasons for our dissatisfying experience at this supposedly "authentic" Florentine restaurant is too long for print, but simply put, it is not worth it.

Authentic Italian cuisine We went because my daughter had been to the same restaurant in Italy. The food was very good but a little over-priced. The service was good and the location is perfect for a dinner before downtown activity.

just like italy and some of the best pasta/steak anywhere – step 1: make a reservation (sometimes they are closed for private parties) step 2: go to acqua al 2 step 3: order the pasta sampler step 4: order the balsamic steak and the blueberry steak and share (approx 2 for 3 people)..you wont need more after the 5 pastas in the sampler step 5: thank me!

Creative Tuscan cuisine with a sister restaurant in Florence draws nightly crowds for an authentic taste of Italy in San Diego. – In Short With the original Aqua al 2 in Florence, Italy, the Gaslamp's sister location boasts an identical menu and similarly themed ambiance. Rustic brickwork and candlelit tables serve as an authentic backdrop for "creative Tuscan cuisine." The Assaggio di Primi is a house sampler of sorts; ideal for two, choose from antipasti to entrees for a total of five signature dishes. Of all menu items, b... read more
