    This is a great, beautiful restaurant in downtown Cleveland. The servers and manager are wonderful and want you to be happy. The appetizers (tuna and carpaccio) were astounding. The main courses were not as good (very salty) but they remedied this for us and took it off the bill. I highly recommend.
    Acqua di DeaResponded on June 22, 2025

    The food, drinks and service was great. I was also able to get a reservation same day so we didn’t have to wait to be seated. The one downside was the noise level. Sounds traveled throughout the restaurant so easily which made it very difficult to ear anything my date said. If the acoustics were better, I would have had no complaints!
    Acqua di DeaResponded on June 17, 2025
    Thanks for the feedback, Elizabeth! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the food, drinks, and service. It's great to know that our reservation system and acoustics met your expectations. We understand that the noise level was a bit too high and we appreciate your understanding. We're continuously working on improving the atmosphere for all our guests. We hope to see you again soon for another great dining experience!
