This is one of our favorite local restaurants. We eat here at least twice a month. Service is always stellar, friendly, and quick. We never have to wait long for a table without a reservation. And the food, is so consistently excellent it’s our go-to, no hassle dinner spot. You know how sometimes you go to a restaurant often and the quality just varies periodically. Al’Acqua does not have that problem. Consistently excellent menú options, delicious food that is well priced with friendly, professional servers.

Boar fettuccine was the most wonderful dish I have had in a long time. It did not taste gamey and is truly an item I could not recreate at home. The next best dish was the eggplant parm which had a wonderful red sauce and melted cheese. The pizzas were Napolitano style and had a perfect balance in flavors. The sauce was not too acidic nor sweet. The cheese was the right consistency. The crust was thin and soft.
I will come back again for the great food. The atmosphere is close to perfect but I would change the music selection. I knew all the songs and didnt match the atmosphere.
Wait staff is fine.

I like that they have a spacious patio area and parking. Food came out quickly and service was good. Their pizza and lava cake was delicious.

Dishonest business practices.
They ask if you'd like water and then open a bottle before you realize what's occurring. Later that bottle is charged at $9.50 for a liter of water.
Food was fine but nothing to get excited about. Lunch special would be a pretty good deal without the water bait and switch.
The weekday lunch special at $20 is one of the best value for price lunches. It comes with 3 courses - a choice of salad or soup to start, a regular size entree portion of an array of choices from paninis, pizzas, pastas and a scoop of vanilla gelato for dessert. The food is delicious, the portions are ample, the parking is easy, the ambience is lovely, the service staff are friendly and courteous. I saw on the board they also have nightly and daily specials. I can’t wait to go back and try those as well. One of LA’s best kept secrets!

Love the ambiance, food and drinks were pretty good, but service was unfortunately slow. Went on a Wednesday evening during happy hour/dinner which eventually became a full house with only 2/3 servers. I can understand being short staffed which is why this place still gets 4 stars.

We've been eating at All'Acqua since they opened in 2014. Always good food and good service - until Saturday, May 10, 2025. My 12 year old grandson wanted to celebrate his birthday there, so we made a reservation for our family of 6.
Since the 11 years we've been eating here, this was the worst experience we've ever had. The service was absolutely terrible. We sat for 30 minutes before our order was taken. Two tables sat after us and got their food before we even ordered!
Then, one of the pasta dishes with mushrooms we ordered had grit in it. Probably from the mushrooms. The owner said that wasn't the case but he didn't try it. To their credit, they didn't charge us for that entree.
Then my grandson's birthday boy dinner got overlooked. They brought him something he didn't order. So, we all had our dinners and the table cleared before his entree was ready. He took a few bites and we boxed the rest to go.
We've all had good and bad days so I can accept that. However, I just can't believe this all happened and no acknowledgment from the owner.
I would rate this one star but give it three based on past experiences. Maybe after 11 years, they're starting to show their age. I'm going to think twice about returning.

Amazing food, great experience, great location. Valet service made parking easy. Our server was very helpful and gave us great recommendations. I think it might have been better for lunch, but I would still highly recommend.
Fancy and pricey but good
