Good to the last bite. We had a large group outside. Service is top notch, food was outstanding. Pizzas are perfect to share as an appetizer.

All'Aqua was truly enjoyable tonight. I wanted to try a little of everything tonight and will definitely be back to try more dishes. We were treated very well!! The bread was wonderful and the calamari was crunchy and fresh. It was quaint and sort of smelled like an Italian restaurant in Italy which really made me happy. I ordered a Milanese and I thought it was really delicious with a lightly dressed arugula salad for a bit of contrast and to add a bit of freshness. This little restaurant is a must try. I am looking forward to trying other things...perhaps try their pasta or pizza. My only regret was not sitting outside. I am happy I finally tried this quaint Italian eatery.

Service was absolutely exceptional, food is the best I have had since going to Italy! The Corn agnolotti and butterscotch budino were absolute highlights!

This place is a great Italian dining place for family or for a casual romantic date. Their food is pretty tasty with many different choices (mainly pizza and pasta). Since Covid, they have converted part of their parking lot as outdoor dining spot. So if you go there on a nice weather day, it's a great place to eat outdoor. There were good amount of free street parking spaces available. Only downside is their food prices are on a pricey side. For 4 people, I paid about $250-300 for 4 main dishes and 2 drinks. So make sure your bank is full before you go there :)

Great spot. Refreshingly Unpretentious people and delicious fare. Full bar and great wine to boot.

Our group of 7 dancers chanced upon this place while taking a break from a dance marathon. I did not manage to take pictures of the amazing sizeable pizzas. I opted for pasta...it was decent. This is an upmarket Italian place

I almost don't want to write this review because it's such a special restaurant to me that it almost feels private. But alas here I am. I've been dining at All'Acqua for 9 years. It is my favorite restaurant. One of the things that amazes me most is the consistency and on going high quality of the dishes. I've tried 90% of the menu and honestly enjoyed just about everything I've tried to the point where I have at least 5 favorite dishes. My top picks are the Pici Calabrese, Cacio e Pepe Bucatini, the Arabiatta Pizza, the Short Rib, and the Mushroom Lasagna. But big shout out to the octopus, the vodka sauce pasta and the Branzino. I take friends and family here all the time and they too love it and are impressed by every dish they try. I also must mention the cocktails (some change seasonally which is fun) many of which are made by Amanda, the owner of Cantiki (an excellent tiki bar). The cocktails are very well balanced which is super important to me and somewhat hard to find. My favorites are the Lychee en Rose, the Dirty Lemon Drop, the Matcha Pisco, and the Spicy Margarita. The restaurant is also beautiful and has a beautiful modern candlelight type vibe. The staff are very friendly and bring out entrees very quickly! It's an open kitchen which I love and you can marvel at how quickly and efficiently the pizzas are made right in front of you at the bar seating. They come out perfectly every time. I could go on forever but the gist is this restaurant is very special to me and never disappoints.
I have fond memories of dining at All'Acqua back when it first opened. I stopped going as frequently when I discovered other restaurants closer to where I I now live. But on a recent visit to Atwater Village, I decided it was time to give it another visit. We didn't have a reservation which is a must-have on a busy Saturday night. But we were there early enough to snag a seat at the pizza bar where we could watch the pizzaio plying his craft. We had sat here before in years past and have always admired how deftly they can craft the pizzas so quickly and efficiently. We were brought menus and greeted by a very friendly server. He was obviously very busy with a large group that was seated behind us, but he always made time to check on us. After bringing us a couple of beers, we decided on splitting one of their mouth watering pizzas, based on the suggestion of the pizzaio. We chose the Maiale, which included scamorza, fennel pork sausage, and red onion, but we added mushrooms per his recommendation. We are both fans of sausage and mushrooms so this combination seemed to be a sure fire hit! While waiting for our pizza, we continued to be amazed at his deftness in juggling both the pizza making as well as the wood fired oven, casually bouncing back and forth between the two. I was amazed at how easily he could be making three different pizzas at the same time while never forgetting to watch the oven to make sure everything was cooked to perfection. As he made our pizza, our mouths began to water. It arrived after a few minutes and did not disappoint. The gently smoked mozzarella, or scamorza, had the perfect amount of smoke, complemented by the fennel laced sausage and a lovely sprinkling of fennel pollen on top. The meaty mushrooms added an earthy bite of umami which sang harmoniously with the other ingredients. My only complaints were that the crust was a bit too charred and the dough remained limp. Charring in a wood fired oven is to be expected, but from my observation, the oven was a way too hot, necessitating the removal of the pizza sooner that it should have been. As a result, the outer crust had some badly burned spots and the bottom crust was limp and soggy which required using a fork and knife to eat. While the flavor was spot on, it was a little too messy to eat comfortably. I'm happy to see All'Acqua hasn't changed and I'm certain I'll return when in the area. Their menu, which is much more than just pizza, has changed quite a bit, so I'm eager to dive into their pastas and mains on my next visit.

The restaurant is warm and inviting. There is plenty of parking and a nice patio with heaters outside. We shared a of margherita pizza and I had Corn Agnolotti both dishes were excellent depth of flavor and the portions were generous. I had the daily Om cocktail and could have had another - it was amazing. For dessert we shared the Ricotta cheesecake and it was a perfect finish to a perfect meal. I would have to say that the service is the highlight of the experience. From the moment you walk in you feel welcome. They also balance attentiveness with allowing enough space to breathe. I truly loved the experience and will definitely be back.

This is our new neighborhood Italian restaurant. We'll come here for a regular bite and a glass of wine.Staff is friendly and professional and the wood pizza oven makes for a nice indoor atmosphere.We had pizza, pasta and a skirt steak. The pizza, excellent, the pasta slightly overcooked, the skirt steak just that tad chewy. But for the location, price and friendly staff, the whole is greater than the sum.of it's parts.Highly recommended.

Perhaps the best place for sit down family dinner in Atwater, other than Momed or Tam O Shanter.
