Outstanding experience. We followed waiter Thomas’s recommendations and he was spot on! Rave reviews for everything from appetizers to entrees from all 4 of us diners. The lobster ravioli was the best ever. Equally delicious were the branzino, and the clam+pasta dish. We can’t wait to return.
It was great until we tried the pasta…
Came twice: once for lunch and it was fantastic, and the second for dinner.
Tried almost all the appetizers and they are amazing. But once I tried the pasta… there was no way.
It is most likely home made indeed but sorry it is extremely starchy. Please review your pasta dough recipe. The rest is great.
Service was great! I remember Tyler for diner.
One other thing: they started cleaning 1hr before closing time so we got to enjoy the sound of the broom/mop hitting every table and chairs around us while finishing our main courses.
Also Pasta Vongole was basically a bathing in a bowel of salted sea water…
Dietary restrictions: Servers seem very aware and conscious with what ingredients are used in each dish.
Arancini’s recipe do rotate so check.

Acqua Pazza is a fantastic coastal Italian restaurant! The food is authentic and delicious, with fresh ingredients and bold flavors. The atmosphere is charming and perfect for a night out. Highly recommend for anyone craving great Italian cuisine!
Fiancé and I went for a dinner birthday celebration, it was a great experience since we walked into the restaurant. Food was amazing we had The Pistachio Crusted Salmon and Clam Linguini it was very tasty. Dessert was on point Chocolate Gelato and Pistachio Tiramisu.
Very well recommended !!!!!

Sorry I really wanted to like this restaurant but it was disappointment . We went for lunch the limes in my drink were brown , The salad was wilted , and tasteless and the food was thrown together without Love . The pasta Carbonara was tasteless . This Restaurant is a Beautiful place but they need to bring the food upto par with the decor
I was so impressed with this place. Angela, the bartender, was so friendly and made great drinks too. The only drawback was that they did not have one single ipa (goose island) would be my preference, albeit even in a bottle would be okay. And the food was amazing. We both ordered short ribs and rigatoni. I was reluctant to go here because months ago when we went to the banyan house this place was so crowded it really turned me off. I will go back. We sat at the bar and had a wonderful dinner evening. Thanks Angela.

I had the veal chop parm, it was dipped in oil for about 30 minutes and the fry was greasy and over burnt. this is not an italian restaurant. The pasta side dish was over cooked and mushy.
The wine was very good . The waitress was excellent.

"We visited Acqua Pizza Coastal Italian Restaurant and had a mixed experience. The Spaghetti with Meatballs was excellent, and the other pasta dishes were good. The Beef Tailgate Pasta had a decent flavor, but the sauce had a noticeable canned tomato smell. Unfortunately, the Eggplant Parmesan was overcooked and lacked flavor. Despite these issues, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was fantastic with clean floors, brand new tables, and silverware. Overall, they have a great setup but could improve the quality of their cooking."

I saw this place on Facebook, I looked at All of there pictures and videos and decided I loved it, it looked so delicious and the chefs were cooking everything that looked to be fresh on the videos homemade. So my boyfriend my aunt and my grandmother and I decided to go and try it out. The inside is beautiful of course. Unfortunately our waitress did not know a lot about what was on the menu and we had lots of questions to ask so that was a little frustrating. We all ordered a set of different pasta dishes and after 30 min of waiting for our food my grandmothers pasta was cold and and still hard and my pasta was warm but the pasta was hard and it tasted very bland I simply ate one bite and I sent it back and I have never done that before. My aunt did not like her clams with pasta she said the clams were very chewy. And my boyfriends pasta was also hard and the food was bland. I was very disappointed and it ruined my night for sure. I think the worst part was how much the food cost, even after they took off my pasta my bill was still higher then expected for the condition of the food. Truly the only good thing about this place was the designs on the walls and the drinks. Very disappointed and hungry!

I came here with a group for our once a month outing, but I don't think many of our group of 12 will be back. Most of the group had entrees that were either seafood or chicken and all complained that their meals were dry. I started with the Squash Blossom which was delicious but looked different than expected. My entree was Eggplant Parmigiano with Rigatoni and a side of meatballs. The Eggplant was good, but the sauce was just mediocre. I ordered the meatballs because the server claimed they had the best. They weren't even close to being good! Other than the ambiance, which is amazing, our meals were very disappointing for such an expensive restaurant.

Sunday lunch sucked...
Came in for a quick lunch. Only one other table seated, no one else. Service extremely slow. Food was not impressive, Panerai bread, which I don't like has better lunch options.
The only nice thing about the place is that it's a new building. We might be back for dinner but it's ganna be on the bottom of the list.
Overall a disappointment today.

We had a great experience last night. Walked in a little after 8 and were served quickly. Delicious options on their 2 for $40 menu. We were both very happy with our choices and the portions were huge! We were so impressed with our server Richard who was so friendly and kind. Can’t wait to return!
