We loved the ambiance of Acqualvuca! It was very relaxing on a warm afternoon. The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed our meal- though our enjoyment of the dishes were mixed. While all the dishes were good, we expected a bit more flavor in a few.

Lovely ambiance, food was nice. We ordered the pepper steak ordered it medium rare however it was more medium than rare but was still very tasty. We had house wine which was nice but could have had it a bit colder. Would recommend

The first impression of the place is the smell coming from the kitchen and soaking into your clothes and hair. In addition, we were seated next to the kitchen and to a fridge with disturbingly bright lights. Than communication with the waiter was minimal-digital menus, no presentation of the food, not even asking who is the meal for and just putting all plates on the table. The dishes I ordered were disappointing. Fortunately the other food (beef stakes and desserts) was good.

I am disappointed with the food in the restaurant. i ordered sea bass and it was frozen and absolutely hard……. the fish balls were greasy, with very poor breading…

Very nice place inside, with a cousy atmosphere. And super antipasti!! We shared 4 different antipasti’s and almost couldn’t eat our own main course afterwards. The staff were very kind and helped us with getting an English menu. I would definitely recommend the restaurant.

The night was ruined when the server insisted on an under the table “cash only” tip. Avoid this place. Tried to insist that this was a compulsory practice. It’s likely waiters trying to take advantage of tourists who do not know better and make some extra tax free cash.

Cute little place within the walls of the city. Waiter was not helpful or courteous. Told us to scan QR code for menu. Menu came up in Italian. Due to restaurant being inside stone walls, internet access was spotty and google couldn't translate to English. Their wifi was spotty. No paper menu. Waiter did not want to assist us in any way and would just walk away. He was very kind and courteous to Italian clients at next table. The waiter also demanded a tip. After 2 weeks in Italy, this was the first restaurant the waiter asked for a tip. Our evening and anniversary dinner was ruined.

Food arrived quickly and hot - which was a surprise based on our service through Siciliy these last 3 weeks. Simple but tasty food! Setting just a little noisy but it was Saturday night...
