The food was amazing, service was impeccable and so quick! Our server, Kayla did an outstanding job of making us feel welcome, comfortable and answered all of our questions. Super friendly service and lovely ambiance (the live music performer was so great, the violin playing was beautiful). Would and will 100% recommend Acquafarina!

Servers talking to each other across aisles. Loud music. Staff carrying beer kegs and buckets of ice through dinning room. Not the atmosphere we expected.

This is an exceptional dining venue with a solid mix of environment and great food. Nathan has been my server a couple of times & has delivered in his role as our table host. The menu is diverse yet complimentary, including cocktails. Happy Hour is a must experience as is a later night visit after a show or game. Good show!
