    Steak was overcooked and tough. Pasta was good. But Valentine's Day was overpriced for value.

    Not all the food was good and with flavor as expected for the price. The site says about 30-50 dollars per person and it turned out to be 70$ a plate.

    An overall very good dining experience. The food came out hot and fresh, was well executed, well priced, the pasta texture was on point, and they had some really tasty cocktails. Fernando was lights out as a server. Glad we finally tried this place.

    Acqua E. Farina is one of the very best restaurants in Chula Vista. The food is delicious authentic Italian and is served in a lovely atmosphere. All the waiters are delightful and attentive. You might even be lucky enough to hear one of them singing an operatic " Happy Birthday", or "O Sole Mio." I give it my highest recommendation!

    Had dinner here on 1/31 and we opted to do the restaurant week menu. Food and service was good. My only thing is I felt rushed like they were trying to push us out the door. It was a constant do you need a box for that or are you done with that? Really?!

    My friend and I went for restaurant week, and with that menu the price was pretty solid for the food we got. Food was delicious, service was good, they were attentive and quick to rid your table of empty plates, and we were checked on regularly to see if we needed anything else. The ambiance was cozy and warm, and we will be returning again to try the main menu.
