    The flavors of the food were amazing, in line with the chef's vision. The travel around the Mediterranean Sea, flavors from around coastal and inland were a delightful experience for the palette. every dish exceeded the one prior.

    we were seated at a 4 person table in the middle of the room even though we were 2 some waiters seemed unproffessional, whispering to eachother half of the food was not very good, maybe some people could appreciate it, we did not

    Fish with rice. The fish flavor was overbearing. For us it did not work with other courses. Ruined the rest of the dinner for us. If we had ordered the 6 course dinner it would have avoided the fish with rice course and probably more suitable for our pallet.

    Food was not two star level. There was nothing that stood apart and surprised by being BOTH special AND good tasting. Practically everything was too salty, making it challenging to taste the otherwise great ingredients. Everything else was great EXCEPT the food. I would not have given this one or two stars, except for the service. Clear sign: No table was speaking Italian. So locals already knew

    It was an unforgettable experience! We went to celebrate my wife’s birthday. The meal was outstanding, and every flavor was an extraordinary explosion in our taste buds! The service was outstanding! If you are like and love to travel and try the best restaurants in the world, Acquolina is a great choice!

    The chef really pushes the boundaries with flavour, white asparagus ice cream and black garlic desserts just to name a few! Service was impeccable and very attentive. Atmosphere was nice, quite formal but relaxed at the same time. Stand out courses were the snacks, sweetbread and pigeon. Overall a fantastic meal!

    It started very well. But it quickly went down after the bad pastas. I think by trying to make something too different they ended up mixing too much ingredients and things and I actually felt ill afterwards. That’s definitely something you don’t want after paying for such a pricey meal.

    Top notch, 5+++ rating for Aquolina for us. Impeccable food and service. The 7 course seafood tasting menu was breath-taking - and the thoughtful additional supplements that kept coming were lovely interludes. The cocktails were innovative and bold (I've never had an anchovy flavoured drink ever and it was yum!) and the service was peerless to a fault. All in all - our last meal in Italy was our best in a long, long while!

    Food was good, but not amazing. Wine pairings were disappointing. Good service though. Place/space decoration not impressive.

    Acquolina was truly an amazing experience with some standout dishes like their Chickpea Langoustine Pasta and the Lentil Mont Blanc. The true star for me though was their selection of bread served with a garum butter. The portion sizes as well are much larger compared to other Michelin restaurants, so you can easily be filled up by the end of dinner. Overall, Acquolina is a really good and I want to thank the whole staff for taking such great care of us, especially Carlos.

    We have been to a few Michelin restaurants, but this one was without a doubt our favourite so far. From the quality, creativity, and taste of the food to the service and details like choice of cutlery and music, everything was just wonderful. The filled pasta with crispy eel was our favourite. If we are in Rome again, we will return!

    The room was modern and elegant and they acknowledge our anniversary and gave us a special table. The device was impeccable. The word no didn’t exist. The food was everything and more you would expect from a Michelin restaurant. The chef’s welcome bites were amazing flavor “bombs” bravo and the tasting menu was creative, delicious and really well composed. We had a great evening Thank you ????????

    We have enjoyed a memorable dinner by Acquolina. All staffs are polite and professional. We have choice both tasting menu with wine pairing. The food is excellence and wine is precisely selected to suit. If we really need to add any comments, I will say the portion could be a little bit big for aged people like us although the staffs has reminded us and suggested we may not need to clear off every dishes. However, who can stop?

    This is a truly outstanding restaurant. The good is complex and at the same time wonderfully enjoyable. The staff is extremely professional. They establish the perfect balance of friendliness, availability and seriousness. I can't wait to go back!

    We had one of the great experiences at a restaurant ever. From the service, to the wine choices, canapes right through to Petit fours. Each dish was what you would expect from a high calibre restaurant. Thanks you so much

  • Voz V.1 review

    8/10

    We had an exceptionally great time at Acquolina. The service was excellent, our waiter was extremely professional and knowledgeable, and the dishes were all beautiful and held many surprises. Given the creative nature of the dishes, some of them were wonderful, pleasant surprises, but some others were not my personal cup of tea. Even so, food presentation and taste-wise, our course deserves at least a 98/100. For the last two points (for me personally), the tiny strawberries in the kefir dish needed to be a little fresher and/or less bruised and the wonderful homemade bread needed to drop less crumbs/bread flakes when broken (maybe an impossible task or not even a real critique, but I felt guilty making a mess of bread-crumb confetti that my waiter had to clean up every time I ripped a pice off of the loaf. I wanted to eat more of it but weighed that against the risk of making a huge mess). The music-instrumental selection was mostly good, but “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” should 100% not be on your playlist. Love the song, but it feels a little out of place with the ambiance of the place.

    6/10

    Overall, the dining experience was great. I don't think the woman who served us wine is an experienced server given how she dealt with the bottle and how she pours wine into the glass (she spilled wine) but it did not ruin the overall experience as the food made up for it. I liked the pace in which the food was served as I like it littler quicker (compared to typically italian customers)

    Tasting menu was risky with ups and sharp downs. One plate is good then next one is too dissapointing and vice versa. The staff was good. Ambiance was too simple, in a boring way. I would expect much better experience for this money.

  • Leo V.1 review

    7.5/10

    The food was great, tasty, and experimental. One of us was allergic to a few things, and they did a good job of avoiding the allergens and making a menu specifically for them. However, the ambience was not great. The room lacked brightness and warmth. The vibe was slightly cold, and so was the service. The waiters, though professional, polite, and meticulous, lacked warmth and personality. We were surprised that there was no sommelier to properly recommend wines and explain the wine tasting menu.

    AcquolinaOwner

    Dear Mr Leo, Our sommeliere Enrica take care of you suggesting a choice of four different white wine of different Italian regions after you communicated you preferences. The final choice was on Trebbiano di Abbruzzo Valentini. About the wine pairing, every single glass was served explaining the provenience, grape, producer and vintage. You also had informations and details about our choice to serve that particular wine on that particular dish. In our restaurant, for 20 coverts, we do have two sommeliers and one assistent sommelier. Kind regards

    The tables were widely spaced out which was refreshingly different from most restaurants. The staff were very attentive a knowledgeable. The fish tasting menu had innovative and delicious items beautifully presented. Each course contained interesting and sometimes surprising items/combinations I had never had before. This place has earned its Michelin status.

    The food was good but to inconsistent one dish was perfect and the others where meh. The pasta dishes where nothing special and not worth it. The service was mostly good but after asking twice for a new water bottle it still didn’t come but we still got charged for it they didn’t even apologize for it.

    AcquolinaOwner

    Dear Madame, thank you for your review. The bottle of water was served and charged correctly as we explained to you at the end of the dinner. We removed from the bill the price of the bottle after you complained. I am really sorry we did not apologize enough. Hoping to see you again we wish a lovely day.
