Everyone at our table loved their meal from appetizer to desserts. If you enjoy a nice wine they have a wonderful selection to choose from with fair prices. Not always what you find in La Jolla. It is my go to place when I want a nice meal out. Service is casual and it has that relaxed beach atmosphere. I... more

We enjoyed a flavorful salad, a wonderful pizza, and a tender filet minon over whipped potatoes. yum! And the creme brulet to finish the meal was amazing! You will... 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. Unfortunately, due to the changes my money is better... more

The atmosphere and warm and unique, and the service was very good. We definitely did not feel rushed through this meal, instead the staff there seemed to want to give us a dining experience, which... more

Not sure how people can be enthusiastic about this place. The food is decent at best but the atmosphere is quite forgettable unless you're at one of the very few tables with an ocean view. However, that's not what bothers me about this place. What bothers me most is the attitude of management. My most recent experience with these folks... more

My girlfriend and I had some friends visiting from N. Calif. last weekend and on the last night of their visit, they decided they wanted Italian, but not "chain restaurant" Italian or "thaw and serve" Italian, they wanted "authentico Italiano! For us, the choice was obvious... Trattoria Acqua. It's not only our fav. Italian restaurant, it's our fav. restaurant, period,... more

I walked into a beautiful place and was instantly greeted and provided with the table I had reserved.I loved the open patio area featured as I entered and the variety of dining areas available. I enjoyed a cozy booth with my wife and we struck up a conversation about wines... more
