nice thin pizza
Wish I had tried this place earlier. A friend told us it wasn't good so we skipped it until now, 2 years later! Everything I tried was quite good, though the tiramisu was not quite my style (I like more amarreto flavor & fluffiness than cakiness). Pizza was even thinner than what I expected in a thin crust, but a bit bigger as well. Braciola Di Pollo was great, and the spinach side was also tasty. Prices very reasonable, and not as loud & cramped as some of the nearby Italian restaurants. Service was friendly and prompt.

Consistent and Delicious Neighborhood Find
We live about 200 feet from Acqua and we feel very lucky to have such a great neighborhood restaurant. The service is great, you can always get a table but yet its in high demand. Its great for a quick bite or a place to meet friends. There is always a good special or the regular dishes such as the veal vitello and the polenta that are great. For a real treat the lasagna. Service is always friendly and neighborly.

Crowded cardboard
The pizza is like cardboard, the atmosphere crowded and noisy. Avoid

Really recommend
Have been coming here for the past year and really like it. The pasta is consistently very fresh and the wood burning pizza is great. Atmosphere is nice and have always had a great experience here!

Worth trying
I've been going to Acqua for quite a while now and have to say the food and service are just fine. I tried almost every dish. The warm spinach salad, the pizza with truffle oil and the sardinian pasta with sweet sausage are my favorite dishes. Their mascarpone cheese cake melts in your mouth. The waitstaff /management is very friendly and attentive. The music is never too loud and the lighting is always perfect. Very good job,guys!

always consistent!
As someone who has lived on the upper west side for the last twenty years i disagree with the previous person.I find acqua to be consistent,good to very good restaurant! I eat out nearly everyday and this is by far the most consistent in my neighborhood!

agree-not good
I agree with the previous post. The food is just not good here after three tries for me. Even worse was that the staff members are very arrogant. I am puzzled at the positive reviews here and can't help but question them.
