My husband and I recently had dinner with another couple and I really enjoyed the food. We opted for eating family style but if you want to order your own meal you can do that as well. We started with the Caesar salad and I have to say that this was one of the best Caesar salads I've ever eaten. The dressing was creamy and delicious and the homemade croutons tasted great and added the perfect crunch and texture. We were also served warm, crusty bread with was amazing! For our mains we ordered chicken Parmesan and baked ziti and the burnt broccoli. None of us felt like driving but they do have a substantial wine room and great wine list. Everything was so good and it was nice that the server prepared our plates for us. All of us were too full for dessert and we still had some baked ziti left over which we took home for lunch the next day. Service was great and it was a beautiful night for eating out on the patio along the water. Prices were a bit high but then again that seems to be the norm these days. I'll definitely go back again to try some of their other menu items and to get that Caesar salad again! read more

We've been here many times over the years, so we were shocked to see so many open reservations for a Saturday night. It felt like a completely different place than when we were here just a few months ago. The service was awful. Our waitress kept disappearing, and when we asked for a simple ingredient change, we were told it couldn't be done, which made us question how fresh everything really is. Our food also took forever to come out, and both my wife's dish and my lasagna were completely different from what we've ordered here in the past. Her gnocchi portion was about half the size it used to be, and my lasagna was swimming in heavy red sauce--it was more like soup than lasagna. At these prices, we expected much better. Between the poor service, long wait, smaller portions, and decline in the quality of the food, we won't be coming back. read more

The drinks took a long time and the food was bland. Also the server was socializing and not paying attention to the tables she was serving

Inside is classy, modern, with a low light aesthetic, decently sized bar, and patio that overlooks a artificial lake. Service was pretty good, when I asked for additional bread I got, and there were no additional complications with ordering time or speed. The table shared two salads, and I got a chicken Parmesan, the smaller of the two available portions. The salad that I tried was a Caesar salad, which I thought was good. It's hard to screw up a Caesar salad, and I thought the dressing and Parmesan were both above average in flavor. That's improving the taste of the salad. The chicken Parm does not come with pasta, but the size of the chicken Parm makes up for the lack of side. The quality of the chicken was fantastic, and the quantity was more than sufficient. I thought that the chicken farmer was extremely solid, it's hard to find a good chicken Parm in Indianapolis so this definitely surpassed all of the chicken Parm I've had in Indy. Another important part of the meal is the bread that we had, it felt like it was homemade, and was truly one of the better breads that I've had from a restaurant. Small note, nothing wrong with it, but the Parmesan that they use is probably very authentic, because it is a bit sharper than what I've received at other restaurants. This restaurant has been a staple for my family for the past 1015 years, and it rightfully deserves its recognition based on the quality of the meal I had today read more

Lovely place! Hidden in Weston, this place is a gem! My date and I dined in for a Sunday evening. We shared a delightful crispy margherita pizza! Fresh and delicious. We each ordered an entree, I had the meatballs with fresh in house made linguini and she the Lobster Ravioli. Easily a 8.8/10 hers and mine. Service was speedy and polite, checked upon often and when needed. We will be visiting more often! read more

Went for lunch on valentines's day, we sat outside . Nice ambiance . Our server quickly took our drink order and appetizer order . They came out with drinks and bread fairly quickly . They have grated Parmesan , vinegar and oil to dip the bread . Nice touch ! The calamari was fresh and well seasoned but wish it would also come with tartar sauce . I had the lasagna which was ok ... not fresh pasta , they say béchamel but felt more like a ricotta layer and too much sauce for my personal preference. My husband had the squid linguini with lobster and clams , he said it was delicious . read more

Acquolina hosted a surprise birthday party for my dad this weekend and it was a great event. 55 people comfortably fit on the large patio, seated in groups of 8-10 at large rounds or 6 tops. The tables were nicely set with comfortable chairs, cloth napkins, fresh baked bread and, upon request, olive oil, balsamic vinegar and Parmesan to mix for dipping. The meal was served family style by server, table to table, which ran extremely well. They also brought refills for wine and beer too. In the food, the fried calamari and the calamari arrabiata was great, especially with the bread to dip. The stuffed mushrooms was the surprise, being impressively delicious. The sole entree was so good, with a nice crust and light sauce, the eggplant Parmesan was ridiculously cheesy, and the penne alla vodka was so rich and flavorful. The veal had good flavor but I thought it was a little tough and overcooked. That was the inky thing that wasn't a home run. Seevers were friendly and attentive. Happy to answer questions and deftly handle any situation during service. It was a fantastic party thanks to the team here. Thank you! read more

The Food is totally fabulous! The outside deck is gorgeous overlooking the waterway! Love it all! My gnocchi was TOTALLY beyond fab and the burnet broccoli plus all the food is beyond excellent! Had a fab company gathering here and they all RAVED about it!! We will all be back!! read more

Amazing service! Great food! Can't go wrong here. My wife and i enjoyed it perfect date night spot

Can't figure out why their rating is so low. This is a solid place for Italian. Staff actually listens to what you want in your order (extra spicy, burn the cheese, light sauce, etc) we go almost weekly and it's always consistent. read more

This is my third time visiting this restaurant and each time the meal and the service were excellent! The food is well prepared and the portion sizes are huge! I was a little disappointed to find the restaurant practically empty on this visit when the previous two visit it was packed. I hope this is not an indication of what is to come and that we will continue to be able to enjoy the food and service from this place for sometime. well done and highly recommended. read more

A Weston favorite! Menu is outstanding. Nice variety of foods. Service is superb. Management is present and professional. Highly recommended! read more

Great restaurant, atmosphere and cocktails. Love the service at the bar. Feel at home and comfortable.

Upon the advice of a local, but a stranger, I went to Acquolina for lunch. The advice turned out not to be very good. I had their Margarita pizza which was thin crust, crisp with mozzarella cheese and plum tomato. For me, the mozzarella as the only distinctive cheese proved to make it too gooey and bland in flavor. My companion had the Chicken Milanese which was well pounded, thin, nicely breaded and tasty. For being about the only patrons, service was slow and painfully inattentive. However, the place has a good décor and a decent ambiance about it. read more

Truly a 5-star dinner. We had a family celebration and there were 12 of us. The service was great from beginning to end. The team was friendly, gracious and professional. Even with the difficult layout of a straight 12-top. We had ordered family style and we were each served individually by the staff. The food was equally top notch. I had forgotten how good some of these Italian "classics" could be. Nothing overly sauced or too cheesy. Perfectly fried calamari. Beautiful pasta. Nice wine list. read more

This place has the best food in Weston. Perfect staff, perfect experience. This establishment is one of a kind and the way they treat you is beyond and above. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff is incredible. Hands down, there is no better place in Weston. read more

I am from Boston but I am on a stomach cancer organization board of directors and we had an in person meeting. I can't describe to you how wonderful this place is. Like amazing service. Everyone in this restaurant is so nice! I don't remember what I everyone at our table got big 2 shared a salad and the server actually served our salad on both their plates. My fellow stomachless friend and I shared 2 appetizers. The eggplant formaggio and the meatball Wellington. It worked out because each appetizer had 2 of each. Our server served one of each on both of our plates. We are used to having to split ourselves in the cold cruel northeast :) We literally yelled as we savored the taste because it was so good. Our wine was incredible too. We got a glass of Willamette valley Riesling. Delicious! We sat outdoors which made the experience even better. So glad we were treated to this divine place. read more

The lobster ravioli was immaculate and service was great! The ambiance was nice. I would deff come back

We were really looking forward to visiting this restaurant. The restaurant is very cold and very loud. Prices are sky high. Service is good. I am sure they have their regulars but we will not be among them. The tables are all on top of each other as well. There are plenty of other Italian restaurants in the area, more reasonably prices and delicious. read more

Food was very good. Service was not. It's so loud in there that you can't hear your own table's conversation. read more

The ambiance is welcoming and clean, great for family gathering, celebrating a birthday or graduation. The servers are well dressed and ready to assist and answer any questions you may have or make a suggestion. I loved how close it is to me and would love to come back for my special occasion and try their desserts. This time my family and I had a lunch with many good options and didn't get a chance to try their desserts. Next time I will, I promise . Acquolina is an Italian family style restaurant in Weston. They have sitting options inside and outside too. We were inside with chill atmosphere since Florida summer is pretty hot. I loved the variety of menu options, anything from salads, appetizers, meat, variety of seafood options, pasta, pizza, and many more. I went with Eggplant Parmigiana and it was delicious. We also tried mussels, calamari, caprese salad with mozzarella and tomatoes. My sister had a risotto. I loved the taste and texture of my dish. I recommend to anyone who is in Weston or near to visit this restaurant and you will not regret it. I will come back . read more

I don't know how this restaurant only has 3.7 stars! The service was amazing, the ambience was warm and welcoming, and everything felt so thoughtfully done. Jacques truly knows customer service and made the experience even better. And most importantly--the food was absolutely scrumptious. We loved every bit of it and will definitely be back if we get back this way! read more

www.TheRagingFork.com This is a local Weston restaurant where everyone knows your name. The chicken parm is massive perfect for big eaters or easy to share for two people. The mussels are fresh but pricey. It is extremely busy on Friday and Saturday nights. Nice outside rear patio seating. It has a small bar as soon as you enter. Would recommend for a date night out with your significant other. read more

Amazing food! Had the sea bass entree and tried the bruschetta, calamari, and caesar salad appetizers! Had great attentive servers! Great vibe! Definitely will be going back! read more

Service horrible. That's because management doesn't have a clue about how many people are needed for a full house. They assigned what appeared to be a new server to several large tables. Our food arrived hot but it took 10 minutes for our server to arrive to distribute the family style veal Marsala. Avoid this place if you don't like waiting read more

service was terrible. food was mediocre. our glasses were never refilled and I had to ask several people multiple times to get our check

Never not an excellent meal at Acquolina! This is definitely a go-to restaurant when you want to have great drinks, top-notch service and truly delicious Italian-American fare. When you walk in, they have an inviting bar area with ample seating. I love dining in their waterfront patio area. It's a great vibe, particularly If you're trying to avoid eating indoors. You can't go wrong with anything you order here, but I highly recommend their: Chopped Salad, Eggplant Stack, Sole Oreganata, Penne Alla Vodka and their Burned Broccoli or Burned Green Beans. Be sure to leave room for any of their house-made desserts, as they are all really special. read more

We came to Acquolina for lunch. The staff was friendly, orders were taken right away and the food came out pretty fast. The bread they give you before the meal is excellent. Make sure you ask for a fresh loaf, it's much better when it's hot out of the oven. I got the Pollo Milanese. It was just ok. Lots of greens and tomatoes but not much chicken. Menu says lightly breaded but it was mostly all bread and not much chicken. My friends ordered the Salmon Grigliato, Penne pasta, and Gorgonzola salad. Everyone else really enjoyed their meal. I might have just gotten a dud meal. The food is pretty expensive for what you are getting, especially for lunch. Will give it another shot with a different meal next time. read more

Acquolina is tucked in a shopping area in Weston. So when we arrived for our Christmas Eve dinner I was a bit skeptical. Well, I should know better then to judge a book by it's cover. The ambiance of the restaurant is very welcoming and had the true Italian restaurant feel. It took the waiter a little while to come over to the table initially but the restaurant was extremely busy with take out orders and it was Christmas Eve so I decided to just enjoy the moment. Once our waiter came over the service was excellent and he was very attentive. We brought our own wine and the waiter was great about keeping our glasses full. We started out with an eggplant appetizer and some mussels. Each was very flavorful and were devoured in minutes. They also brought bread to the table and everyone was in agreement it was the best Italian bread. When we spoke to the waiter he told us the bread is made in house daily. For my main course I had a seafood risotto which was full of shrimp, mussels, clams, & calamari in a red sauce. It was excellent but had to take a good portion home since it was such a large dish. For dessert I had an expresso martini and ice cream. Such a great experience and would highly recommend if you are in the area. read more

Great atmosphere, dim lighting, friendly staff and excellent food! The service was a little on the slower side but I'll take slower good quality service and good food any day. This is a great date night spot, next time I was to try and sit outside on the patio. The risotto with short rib is currently my favorite dish, and the mussel appetizer was also delicious (sorry no picture). Looking forward to going back and trying more! read more

Recent visit enjoyed " above average food" in a large noisier atmosphere. Alarming was the Staff&MGMT RUDENESS! We were a large party spending large $, .& in a celebratory mood.Enjoyed a btl of Prosecco & were told a second btl was not possible bc they store their wine under the seats & a party was sitting there!!?? That's different! Still ordered pnoir that wasn't under a seat! LOL!¹ Not a good place to store wine in FL climate.So 930 rolls around, having a good time.Staff and Mgmt start getting overly aggressive telling us their closing time! OK..then the lites go up & they start clning around our table. Food above average but not "that good". Too full of themseves. Will NOT be returning! We were NOT INCOVENIENCING THEM! read more

After a long day at work, i wanted something a bit different for dinner and choose Acquolina. Wanting something on the lighter side, I ended up picking the Lobster Ravioli which was simply amazing. I have had some Lobster Ravioli in the past that were super heavy but this version was light and simply delicious. I would highly recommend this place for the food, the excellent services and just a great overall atmosphere. read more

We would give Acuqaline 5 stars if it wasn't for the Manager blocking several seats at the bar every night for "regulars" when there are other people waiting for bar seats. I'm not talking 2-3 minutes, I'm talking holding bar seats for 30-45 minutes! Just absurd. How does the Ownership of this restaurant allow the Manager to operate like this??? On the flip side, the service is always good, and most times great. The cuisine also never disappoints. But as a couple who likes to sit at the bar vs. a table, having to wait when there are open seats AT THE BAR, is absurd and more importantly, WRONG. This needs to STOP! read more

My wife and I came here on a double date with some close friends. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating, we went with the indoor, as it was a humid night. We started with a nice wine (Earthquake) and ordered the stuffed mushrooms and calamari. The stuffed mushrooms were excellent. My wife and I ordered the lobster ravioli and chicken Parm. Our dishes weren't bad, but were also very underwhelming. I felt that the food lacked flavor overall. Service was good, not great and it was a little loud inside the restaurant. I'd probably go back and give this spot a second go. read more
