I have eaten there twice and each time I was not disappointed, you truly feel like you are transported to Italy and eating in an outside garden, only you are inside,lovely at night. The food is very good and not pricy, great tasting food and well presented.

Really excellent food and environment. The position is definitely a little costly, but would make a excellent way to go on a date. Amazing Med sea recipes and rice. The breads they bring out before is also great! If you get bottles and a food, be ready to spend $25-$40 on one person. It's definitely a deserving position to check... More

I came in, dressed professionally, to use the bathroom. Granted they said for customers only, so I agreed to order a coffee or something when I came out. When I did come out, (this was an emergency, I was feeling sick), a coffee was already on the bar. I did not even get the courtesy to order. I had planned... More

This was a wonderful experience, and didn't cost a fortune. My husband and I had dinner at Acqua Santa on a Wednesday, and it was awesome. The appetizers - calamari and rollatini - were honestly nothing special. But the gnocchi was divine, veal very good, chocolate cake amazing and service superb. Also, an excellent wine list! We had a bottle... More

Acqua Santa has a wonderful dining space and the staff is attentive, helpful and VERY nice! It is probably the staff that saves the 4 points for me. Together, that is, with very good main courses that we were all very happy with. If you go just for the main course I promise you will NOT go home dissapointed. For... More

As an English family on a short trip to New York, we were made to feel completely at home. The food was exceptional and the service everything you would hope for anywhere in the world. Our only criticism would be the rather dimly lit surroundings which made sight of some very tasty dishes a little difficult; but this is no... More

I arranged a rehearsal dinner here from out of town, mainly phone and e-mail for 44 people, reserving the entire restaurant. Mario, the owner, was very accomodating. The room was an inside courtyard, romantic setting with grapevines and candle light. The food was just great. My music (i-pod) was installed on the house sound. The staff was attentive, helpful and... More
