    Bronzino

    First time in this restaurant saw a lot of advertisement so we thought we give it a go. It is summer. We went there on a night. There was only a couple of couples in there. They have a summer special. We enjoyed the summer special. I had the carrot ginger soup and then the Bronzino and then you had a choice of dessert. We also had the pasta Alfredo calamari nice bread basket complementary waiter was very nice informative casual Café dining room they do have outdoor seating. It's off of Ocean Drive but you don't see any ocean free parking lot.

    We came here early on a Saturday night around 5pm right when they open and there was plenty of seating inside, by the bar, or outside by their patio. We decided to sit outside on the patio and it was nice having the greenery surround the side enclosing the patio space having a barrier between the parking spaces. The acrylic chairs were also very comfortable and overall I enjoyed the design of the space. They also do take reservations by phone if you plan on coming during a busy dinner hour. We started off ordering a San Daniele pizza for the table to share as a starter and the pizza was so good! It was a thin but fluffy crust with mozzarella, prosciutto and arugula. Absolutely delicious and would definitely order more pizzas to try next time! For my second starter, I ordered the insalata acquarella that had mixed baby greens, cherry tomatoes, shaved fennel, thinly sliced watermelon radish, and a Dijon lemon dressing. It was a great portion so I shared a portion with my future father-in-law. My future mother-in-law ordered the carciofi alla griglia which is the grilled artichoke with a garlic lemon aoli which she absolutely loved. She said it was very flavorful and the artichoke was perfectly cooked. My fiancé ordered the polpo mediterraneo for his starter which is the pan seared octopus on a bed of chickpea purée and chorizo. The octopus had a great char and I enjoyed the bite of texture and the purée was creamy with a bit of meaty kick from the chorizo. For my entree, I ordered the tagliatelle bolognese and it was so good I cleaned my plate. It had the right amount of meaty sauce to tagliatelle noodles ratio and it was so flavorful. I would recommend this as a pasta dish. My fiancé got the fish kabobs that had a mix of chargrilled brazino, shrimp, swordfish, and scallops. The presentation hanging was so grand. He finished it all. They have a good wine list with wines from Napa and Italy. They also have a cocktail list named after the names of the buildings / condos on this street. We live at the cove so we had to order the cove gin and tonic drink! The service was great! They were very attentive to our table and also let us try samples of the wine before deciding if that is what we wanted to order which is very nice. There's plenty of parking spaces available out front of the restaurant and also very walkable from many of the nearby buildings. We enjoyed our dinner and would definitely come back in the future!

    Surprisingly great cuisine for a place near the beach. Exceptional chef. We've been several times. Food is dead on. Prosciutto is top grade. Pasta is Al dente and not over sauced. Bar rocks. Service is great! Definitely seek this place out. They even have free parking!

    This charming spot has had its ups and downs...but I'm happy to say under the direction of a new chef and the brilliant and well trained new manager Darleen, its a must go. Everything yummy , bar beautiful but check out the Casio et Pepe!

    I did not know this restaurant existed. I didn't even realize this restaurant was in this nondescript commercial building nestled between Tideline and the Lake Worth Beach and Casino, just officially over the Palm Beach line. But there I was to celebrate my mom's birthday in a lovely outside patio. And I have to tell you, the food and experience were magical. Very magical. Originally, we were going to dine somewhere else until my mom heard about this place. I'm glad she changed her mind and chose Acqua instead. I was super impressed with the cuisine and the service, with the patio's ambiance being amazing. At first, I thought the restaurant was located at the old Mulligan's until I realized otherwise. Of course, I didn't bother to use GPS based on my assumption. It's in the next commercial building, right before the Tideline Hotel. The staff is incredibly friendly and accommodating. One of the gentlemen opened and held the door open for us, knew we were part of my mom's birthday party, and led us to the table outside on the patio. The outdoor patio was screened and had a very nice wooden ceiling with torch-styled lights on the walls in between the screened openings. When the sun is setting, it's a really nice ambiance to enjoy with friends or take a date. The inside has more of a chic, aquatic feel, with the blue-lit bar counter being the centerpiece of the energy. I would come here to hang at the bar for drinks. They make delicious cocktails, but their list revolves more around wine and some beer. With respect to cocktails, the Aviation fits the bill. Served in a martini glass, this gin-based drink was light but fruity and tasty, with a marinated cherry nestled at the bottom. The cuisine here is delicious. Starting with the Tuna Tartare, my lady and I devoured it, enjoy each bite between the tuna, shredded greens, and avocado mousse. The risotto fruiti del mar was savory and satisfying, especially with the shrimp, scallops, and lobster tail. For dessert, the chocolate mousse was class. Very sweet and succinct with wonderful chocolatey goodness. Overall, this place deserves multiple visits. They have a great menu and hospitality for a terrific experience no matter the occasion.

    We went here with a last minute change bc Bennys cancelled our reservation bc they thought it might rain. What a awesome punishment . This was a beautiful restaurant that took the 11 of us in . The service was perfect and everything was fantastic. All the portions are huge which was great bc we had some who had just finished paddling from Bimini for charity and they were famished . The calamari was light and crispy and served with a nice light marinara dish . The crispy Brussel sprouts were caramelized and very nice . The star of the apps was a ahi tuna served with avocado and wonton chips . It was perfect, fresh and flavorful. We also had a roasted beet salad that they split in the back for us , unasked , very nice . For entrees , we all ordered something different and I can honestly say, all 11 of us were so happy . I only ate my Rigatoni al Pistachio but everyone was raving about how great their meal was . My husbands Cioppino was packed full of seafood. The Rollatino de Pollo was cooked perfectly, large and juicy with a nice crispy exterior. The Costoletta di Maiale (pork) was a large amazing chop . They had a full bar available but we were drinking nice wine . They had a great Italian wine list which was thoughtfully curated . We had a view by the glass whites and roses and 2 nice bottles. We had a Valpolicella Ripasso and Barbera D'Alba. Our service was perfect , the atmosphere was great, the restaurant was perfectly lovely and most importantly, the food was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant.
