Trattoria Acqua was the best experience we had over the others by far! The service was great. The serving sizes were ample. The food had great flavor. Everything from appetizer to entre to... more

We went to Acqua for Restaurant Week and discovered that they had installed a new menu the week before. I understand the poor economy, but the changes have taken Acqua from being voted one fo the best Italian restaurants in San Diego to just a a shell of it original self.

For us, the choice was obvious... Trattoria Acqua. It's not only our fav. Italian restaurant, it's our fav. restaurant, period,... more
