About this restaurant

  • Lively
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • Good for groups
In Italian, Acquolina means “mouthwatering” – illustrating what happens when you see a delicious, inviting dish. This phenomenon can only happen when food is made with passion and love. For us, food “is a social matter. ” In turn, Acquolina weds a passion for food with a real respect for the community in which it stands – welcoming a mix of locals and visitors, singles and families, welcoming guests of all ages and lifestyles.

At Acquolina, we endeavor to create a vibrant and lively atmosphere where our patrons can revel in the experience of an authentic and “regional” Italian meal. The Tuscan-infused menu is meant to pair with an assortment of wines, with samplings from Italy and California. In the spirit of the Tuscan Trattoria, everything is meant to be authentic – the pasta boiler and the pizza oven came direct from Italy, brought here to guarantee a perfect plate of “al dente” pasta and a perfect slice of thin crust pizza.

    Acquolina is in a fun location right across the street from Jackson Square in North Beach. It's a bustling, busy restaurant. Our server was great - she was working as hard as she could, but she had too many tables and it took her a long time to come around to check on us. Our meals came out at different times, which is a pet peeve of mine. The sauces were soupy - the pesto rigatoni needed more flavor. I would say that the food was Meh for the price. But, it was a great location and it was fun to see the guy making the pasta in the giant wheel of parmesan.

    Spaghetti Parmigiano with Funghi & Tartufo (live cooking show available after 5:00 pm) was sensational. A table-side round of parmesan cheese is melted with blow-torched hot vodka, scraped, hot house-made noodles poured into the parmesan then mixed and mounded on a plate, topped with porcini mushrooms and black truffle sauce and sprinkled with pepper from the largest peppermill you've ever seen! Great show and so delicious. Our table of four shared it as an appetizer, followed by New Zealand lamb chops, lasagna, and caesar salad. All excellent. Our waiter was outstanding. Got a sunny window table at 5:00 and were entertained by a bevy of North Beach denizens. Highly recommend.

    Always a favorite! Can’t wait to go back for the dinner and “show” (pasta prepared in a cheese wheel at the table)!

    Best pizza and pasta! The live cooking pasta available only after 5pm is totally worth it. The bella and maila pizzas are outstanding. For heat, ask for chili oil.

    Friendly service and a wide variety of menu options. Such good food (I’ve been here more than once): I can vouch for excellent pizzas and pasta dishes. The actual pasta is amazing and it truly makes the dish. Highly recommended!

    Wonderful pasta cooked in a cheese wheel. A must try but know it’s very rich. Be prepared for take home. A bit drafty as doors stay open due to crowds, service spotty, but again, the food is amazing.
