Our award winning Jola Eat Global Restaurant Group opened a third location in 2021. Since then, it has become a downtown hotspot with a trendy approach to the modern fine dining experience. Offering a unique combination of modern and classic coastal aesthetic in a sleek and rustic warehouse setting.

Located in Cleveland's Historic Warehouse District in the heart of Downtown, Acqua Di Luca has an innovative Mediterranean menu with remarkably fresh seafood, unique pasta dishes, extraordinary steaks and much more.

We are excited to announce some significant changes within our restaurant family.
Acqua di Luca located at 500 W. St. Clair Avenue will be renamed Acqua di Dea.
​
These changes reflect our commitment to offering fresh and elevated dining. Acqua Di Dea will continue operations and ownership by Lola Jacaj.

    This was hands down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Our waiter acted as if we were idiots every time we asked a question or asked him for something. We had no refills on water the entire meal. My friends were both celebrating their birthday and while we were grateful for the free dessert, the rest of the table didn’t get asked if they wanted dessert menus or anything. Instead we got a check with the dessert for the birthday people. My friend next to me ordered a fillet medium, and it came out well done. He hesitated to complain, but when our waiter came back, he showed him. Again, he acted annoyed and had the chef come out with a new steak and the chef insisted that he cut it right this time to ensure correct temperature. The place is a great atmosphere and would make you think you are about to have a great culinary experience. That was the only positive thing I had to say.

    Our server and the wine steward, as well as the wine that was suggested, were excellent. Our tonno appetizer was perfect. The veal shank was not good, dry, tough and over cooked and the bronzino was ok. The rooms are dark with a number of people pulling out phones to see the small print menu.

    Had a great birthday dinner at ADD. Started out with cocktails The Acqua Manhattan is a fun twist on a classic. Appetizers of crab cakes and calamari. They already have a test menu but they also featured about 8 specials. I got the whole lobster risotto which was delicious and an amazing presentation. The restaurant dropped a birthday tiramisu my way and Limoncello for our entire party if 6 on the house. Made us feel special. And in the era of waning service, Abbie our server was informative, attentive and welcoming. I couldn’t have had a better bday. Restaurant is a bit loud but a fun environment! We will be back!

    The pizza at the bar before dinner was excellent and the wine selection very good. The beef Oso Buco however may have been the the worst piece of meat I have ever been served in a restaurant. So filled with fat and gristle as to be practically uneatable. I have always enjoyed veal Oso Buceo and realize that there will always fat involved but this way beyond, if it was not fat, it was almost uncutable gristel.

    Great outdoor dining in the heart of the pregame action on West 6th. Excellent food selections. Sean, our server was a completely attentive pro! (Again) Killer crab cakes!
