Comfortable setting, reflecting the relaxed atmosphere of the Seaport, with exceptional food. – Love this restaurant! It's conveniently near the Seaport, a relaxed area with fun street performances when there's good weather. Acqua has a comfortable setting and amazing food... The pear salad and pappardelle al pesto are among my favorite dishes. The pesto sauce has a wonderfully clean, basil taste. Another refreshing detail is that the food is seasonal and organic. And I've found the wait staff to be very friendly. This resta... read more

great italian dining – A group of 13 of us went here after my sister's graduation this past Saturday and it was perfect! They knew it was a special occasion and immediately brought us over some champagne and plenty of appetizers to start. The cheese platter and meat antipasto were great! Everyone was pleased with their dishes and the service (which usually does not happen with such a large group). Highly recommend!

OMG here's real Italian food. ....although portions are the American size!!!!! – I am part Italian and I go there often. the food at Acqua is REAL ITALIAN FOOD, so uncommond in NY!!!! but the portions are huge,maybe too big! just like in America and unlike pretentious restaurants like Cipriani [food there is not that good but overpriced...]. pastas to die for. a wonderful stracchino focaccia. and the tuna tartare is great if you love spicy food! tagliata is good too if you really want meat. try the tiramisu and choco mousse!... read more

Great healthy food, very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere like being in Italy – Has a homey old world feel with old brick, old wood floors, chairs and table. Not much on meat and fish, much more for pasta and pizza lovers. One of my favorites in NYC although I must admit I am local and love that it is very accessible.

My friend who happens to be chef recommended Acqua and has been coming here since. We love the food and think it is one of the best Italian restaurants in town. Authentic and delicious Italian food prepared by Ciro and he pays special attention to the customers request (just be very specific).

Very Disappointed... Not a clean place – The only good thing about this place is the food and the bartender. I know that there is a rodent problem in the downtown area especially being so close to the water but there should be a little more cleanliness in a restaurant of that caliber. I was very disappointed and I will not return again.

Best Pastas this side of the Atlantic. Friendly atmosphere. – I had Ravioli with walnut sauce (northern italy specialty) and they were amazingly good. My wife had Pappardelle with homemade Pesto (what a difference compared to the industrial one) and then we shared a Florentine Steak (Tagliata) and it was like the one we had recently in Tuscany: absolutely perfect! Great flavour, great taste, perfectly cooked. We had dinner outside, under the stars, and we treated ourself with a bottle of Amarone, probably the best Italian Re... read more

Solid meal, but not so solid service – Been to Acqua several times,...the food is consistently good. However, the service has been consistently lacking. Its frustrating when the waiter disappears , there's no busboy in sight to refill water , dirty plates remain on the table until we have to ask for them to be cleared. I waited till seeing a consistent pattern before posting , since restaurants, like pro athletes, do have an off night from time to time. Seems like management doesn't have a grip on things. No matter how tasty... read more
