Acqua Al 2 RistoranteA bit of Florence in San DiegoMy husband and I have spent a couple of our anniversaries at Acqua Al 2 Ristorante. The atmosphere is romantic. The pace is similar to that of European restaurants. If you want to enjoy a great meal in a relaxed manner, try this place. We love it.5/26/2013 12:00:00 AMUnited Fresh ConventionThis was a restaurant suggested by my sister who lives in the area. She said it was one of the finest! Well, we took a group of 5 there and had an amazing time, great wine, fabulous meal and an excellent waiter who was very thorough in providing outstanding customer service! We had a fun time, we were not rushed, and felt that we would definitely come back!
Thank you Acqua Al 2!5/15/2013 12:00:00 AMRomantic dinnerCame here on a date night to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday, and it was perfect for the occasion. The outdoor seating was comfortable and allowed for great people watching. We both started with the pasta sampling, which was delicious but a very small portion. I had the balsamic filet and he has the blueberry. We both agreed the balsamic was better, even though they are famous for the blueberry. My meat was cooked perfectly (medium, even on the rare side). We also had several glasses of the house red wine which was delicious.
The service was excellent. The hostess was pleasant, the waitress had great recommendations, the busboy made sure our water glasses were always full. They gave us a comp. dessert plate for his bday as a surprise.5/11/2013 12:00:00 AMWonderful dining experience!The food is incredible...the Filetto al Mirtillo (Blueberry Filet) is TO DIE FOR! The Strozzapreti al Pomodoro is scrumptious!
The staff were so helpful and paid just the right amount of attention to us (not too little, not too much) AND they surprised my wifey with a birthday dessert sampler! HOW SWEET IS THAT?!? (no pun intended)

Try the pasta tasting menu to start, it was very good. The wine list is exceptional--you review the wine list on an ipad very trendy. One of my favorites in the Gaslamp.3/21/2013 12:00:00 AMGreat food. Fantastic staff.Great food. Fantastic staff. John as just "the best!" Third time here in a month. I'll be back very soon again!!
