Acqua Ragazza

First time here ... Top notch from start to finish! Everything was absolutely amazing! We will definitely be back!!

Excellent all around. The orecchiette was sublime. But here's what really impressed me -- visiting from out-of-town for the weekend, I left my umbrella behind. Thank you Lauren for returning it to me by mail -- great food is wonderful, but acts of kindness like that are truly memorable.

We feel so blessed to have found Acqua Ragazza.

We were in desperate need of a location for our rehearsal dinner, and after extensive searching, my husband and I stumbled upon this hidden gem. The food was authentic Italian and absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes that were well worth the price—we were instantly in love.

Lauren and Tara truly understood our vision and worked closely with us to bring it to life. With a party of 30, the evening ran smoothly from start to finish. The staff was incredibly professional and courteous throughout the night.

As we left, our guests couldn’t stop raving about the amazing food and inviting atmosphere.

I highly recommend Acqua Ragazza to anyone looking for outstanding food or a memorable venue for a special event!

2nd time was just as great as the 1st

Fabulous! The food is so great here. It’s not a typical heavy sauce Italian food. Super light and delicious. I had fish that was perfect. We had the charcuterie and it was amazing. Good selection of meat and a bunch of cheese. Be sure to add this to your dinner.

A great Italian restaurant! I would highly recommend anyone try it! 5+ stars!

We came here with some friends and the food was amazing! I ordered the shrimp pasta with the brandy sauce. The service was excellent and they did not rush us out when we were finished eating.

Love the food and atmosphere! They also serve incredible drinks. Great date night spot!

I really love the atmosphere and food here. The wait and bar staff are excellent. However we got there not long after they opened and the place was practically empty. The hostess asked if we had a reservation and said she didn’t think she could get us in without one. I said fine and turned to leave and someone else said let me see. They seated us and we enjoyed an excellent dinner. When we were done and went to leave, the restaurant was still not even half full.

My husband calls me the female Gordan Ramsey so it's very rare when I'm blown away by certain tastes and quality of foods I encounter. I was born and raised on Long Island and my husband is from Queens so we know what great authentic Italian food tastes like. I usually don't post reviews unless it's warranted. This Italian food was by far the best we've had since moving to NC. We had the Cozze alla mediterranea Mussels, Orecchiette salsicca E Rapini pasta, chicken parm and chicken piccatta. I give this a 10/10. We will definitely be coming back.

Had a great time at dinner with friends! The atmosphere feels like you’re in the city vs the burbs and food was amazing. We’ll be back soon!

Shame on you if you don't visit this outstanding restaurant in downtown Mooresville. Honestly, shame on us for it taking so long to try it out ourselves.

I'm fortunate enough to travel a lot for work and experience a lot of restaurants. The ambiance is great, the service is top-notch and personalized. Shellianne was our server and was fantastic. The food was just amazing. You can tell everyone in the kitchen takes pride in what they send to your table. I love calamari, and this is the BEST calamari I've ever had. The owner, Tara, stopped by our table. Her passion is very much on display, running food to tables and talking to guests.

Lasagna was a feature for the night and my daughter loved it. I had salmon, Salmone Alla Mustarda, and it was seasoned & cooked to perfection over a sauce with artichokes. My wife had the Insalata Con Mele e Barbabietole salad followed by Ravioli di Zucca.

Overall we had two appetizers plus entrees but couldn't leave without taking two desserts home.

You won't be disappointed.

Always a pleasure to dine here

Last minute drinks and dinner at the bar. Samantha was an amazing mixologist. Great atmosphere and only disappointment was my salad was drenched in dressing instead of drizzled as described on menu.

First time for a birthday, highly impressed!
