    The food was great! Highly recommend the seafood dishes! It had nice ambient lighting but thankfully it wasn’t too dark where you can’t see your food! Loved the complementary fresh bread at the beginning. It was beyond fresh! Great place to go for a date or a special occasion!

    Some dishes were excellent, but all of them are far too salty. That was the consensus of all four people in the group.

    The wait staff was fantastic. The wine choices were interesting and very good. The bread was so good. The food was a bit salty and over sauced. Just need to remember to ask for sauce on the side. The escarole was incredibly salty. I could not eat it. Very accommodating with food allergies

    What a wonderful dining experience. The food was fantastic and the service was impeccable. There were 6 of us and we each ordered a different appetizer and entree so we had almost the whole menu at our table. Everything was better than the rest - literally no bad choices here. The sommelier Kellen and our server (sort can’t remember her name) were outstanding. Come here for your next occasion!

    Good, but not great. I was expecting a little more intimate vibe. The tables are so packed in, you almost have to turn sideways to walk in between them. It was also very loud and difficult to hear. Service was adequate, but not great. It took almost 20 minutes before we saw our server to order drinks and another 20 before we got them. The water guy reached across in front of people multiple times to refill glasses. The food was very good. The broth on the cioppino was wonderful and the sole dish was amazing. I think the food is priced reasonably, but expect better service and atmosphere at this price point. I would consider trying here again on a weeknight where it is not so crowded and loud.

    This was my second time to this restaurant and it will be my last. The manager was rude and not accommodating. Very defensive and argumentative after expressing my guest did not like his entree, which was left with one bite after waiting forever for the food to come out. Not to mention, once we were seated, it took almost 20 minutes for our server to greet our table as k was there to celebrate my birthday. The WORST dining experience I’ve had in Cleveland.

    Food was very good & portions were generously sized but was overpriced. Service was not good. Server was just quickly going through the motions and seemed fake. Service was too slow & the server was not attentive. We were not able to get desserts and after dinner drinks due to slow service. We needed to be at another event & had allowed 1 hour & 45 minutes for dinner but was not enough time. Disappointed. Will not return.

    This was a Valentine’s Day experience and it did not disappoint. Food, service, ambience was all fantastic. This was our second or third time dining at Acqua di Luca and the experience is consistent and meets or exceeds expectations. The wine list is really great - there is something for everyone. Easily recommendable experience for a special occasion or date night dining experience.

    Really good restaurant. Food was really good, service staff knowledgeable and attentive. Decor and tableware add to a nice ambiance. We went on Valentine’s Day, so the restaurant was full. Service was a bit slow, but understandable given the date. Will add this to our list of restaurants going forward.

    Amazing atmosphere and decor is rustic with a modern flare. Our server Keith was extremely attentive, friendly and helpful with recommendations. My Parisian friend had the cioppino soup which he said it was the first time he had something as good as the soup in France. He truly enjoyed it. The drinks, wine and food was delicious. Overall this the place to treat yourself for an amazing time!

    It was awful from beginning to end. They messed up our reservations and sat each couple in a reservation of a party of four at separate tables in separate parts of the restaurant wondering why the other couple was late. We finally got seated together and put in our order. The waiter came out with our entrees before we finished our appetizers, and the waiter said “wow, that came out much faster than I thought it would.” As it turns out both filets were way undercooked. Both raw in the middle. They eventually took them back and gave us ones that were properly cooked. By that time the accompanying lobster tails were cold. I should also mention those were served without drawn butter. Never mentioned they were not served with butter.

    Drinks & service were excellent. Food was not as good as Luca West. Short Rib pasta was too large, and greasy tasting. The crab meatballs were room temp on cold marinara sauce- not appealing at all.

    All of our food was excellent and the pear martini was fabulous. The risotto with crab legs was my personal favorite. Our server was knowledgeable on the menu and made recommendations based on what we were looking for. Menu had non seafood options if you were looking for it. All of the luca restaurants are top notch and Acqua di Luca was no exception.
