    Delicious white wine! A unique Italian Burgundy blend! Delicious chilled peas and corn soup, salmon main course with tasty accompaniments, and egg raviolo! Beautiful ambience and absolutely amazing service! We were too filled up to try desserts this time, but can’t wait to go back again! Loved the whole experience!

    Acero used to be one of our "go to" places for a special meal, though we had not been in a couple of years. Sadly, we were disappointed. It's a beautiful restaurant and the service was attentive without being overbearing. The food was good but not outstanding or special and much too expensive for the quality of the preparation and portion size. I had the seafood risotto which I thought was pretty skimpy on the seafood (a couple of small pieces of shrimp (not a whole one in sight), a couple of small calamari rings and 3 mussels, but whose counting!), overall lackluster. My partner had the Tagliatelle Bolognese which was more flavorful. The warm chocolate torte was delicious. We eat out frequently and enjoy creative, well prepared cuisine, willing to pay higher priced when merited. We probably will not return soon.

    We have been regular customers at Acero for over 10 years. Haris has been our waiter and become a friend over the years. The Tagalini pasta is the best. The sirloin steak was delicious as are the wine list and manhattans.
