Acquaviva Winery-Batavia

Very pricey!!! The food was good but it was just a little too expensive. And the wine list was really small.

Food is fantastic, so is the wine and all the servers are friendly and accommodating! Hope this place stays put!!

We started with soup, tasted good and loaded with vegetables, but both bowls were cold. I got a glass of rose, which they produce themselves- it was fruity, sweet, and enjoyable and a pizza. The pizza was middle of the road. Next time, I will order off the regular menu. My wife enjoyed the whitefish, but they needed to do a better job in removing the skin (it was left on intermittently).

The restaurant is loud and drafty , be sure to dress warmly if it is cold outside.

We enjoy the flavor of the pizza, however, this is the second time we have ordered pizza and they did something wrong. First time, it was not on thin crust. This time they forgot the green peppers and the double crust was burnt on the bottom. Hopefully the third time it will all be perfect!
Thank you!

Great place to pick up Italian food in Batavia. The pizza at other tables looked great, and every item we had was great!

Everything was very good, except when the check came, a 20% tip had already been added in. Only my wife and I, so no large group to justify this. That is ridiculous. I couldn’t believe it. NO restaurant has eve done this to us before. What’s the purpose of a tip anyway, if not for the CUSTOMER - not the restaurant - to judge the service.

Great food, service and wine!

Enjoyed our outdoor table on a beautiful afternoon. Server was very attentive. Delicious pizza and salads!

Fantastic place! Great food and great service! Can't wait to come back!

The food was good--maybe not the best, but very good. Service was good.

Celebrated my wife's and a friends birthday there. they could not be more accommodating
The hole evening was great
Well Done *

As other reviews have noted, Aquaviva needs to step up their game a little- while the reservation clearly said 'Birthday', and table requested outside, the hostesses were clueless, asking where we wanted to be seated. No mention made of a birthday celebration.
The server, Jeremy, was excellent! Attentive, hands-off when need be, and pretty perfect in every way.
The FOOD: two Caesar salads, rather bland with odd tasting croutons. Not enough dressing to even taste it. Large for side salads, could have split one. The entrees came before we had a chance to half finish the salads. One Sausage and Pepper with mashed potatoes- the peppers were of a stir-fry consistency, almost crisp. I would have liked to see them cooked down a lot more to blend their flavor with the sausages, which were way too spicy. One Chicken Part, which was the highlight of the meal. Chicken done crispy on the outside yet moist and tender on the inside. Sauce was nicely done, all the flavors coming through equally. Both portions were huge, so I guess that's a plus.
I think Aquaviva has room to improve, but I also think they'll get there. A good start!

Food was outstanding. Can’t wait to go back as there are so many delicious options. staff was friendly and most attentive without being obnoxious. Loved the various seating options.

Good food. Came out quickly. Staff was kind but young and inexperienced. No one came to check on us after we got our food. We did not get plates with our pizza so we had to use our bread plates that had oil on them. We would have asked for plates, but no one came back. There was a lot of staff but they seemed disorganized. Didn't seem like they were assigned to specific tables so we were offered water 3x by 3 different people and then after food was delivered, despite 5 staff nearby, no one came over. I would go back because the food was good and there wasn't a wait.

Great food and service!!

We both had the chicken picatta. It came to our table very hot which I like. The chicken was rather bland, but the roasted potatoes were very good and the sauteed vegetables were excellent. The salad portions are very generous. We shared the Caesar salad. It was also very good. The service was good! It’s a noisy place and the tables are quite close together. I will go back and give it another try.

The exterior and interior including bathroom was not very nice. Very crowded in the dining area. Service was fair. It seemed as if everyone was a bit confused. When I made reservation with open table, I noted it was our anniversary and it was not mentioned. Most restaurants would give a complimentary dessert at the least. Food was excellent. Huge portions! Menu is limited but they did accommodate and made something off the menu. Wine just ok. Special shout out to the grandchildren of the owner. Very personable and aimed to please.

This time and all other times were a perfect experience! Staff honestly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and how to make a customer happy !

Service was spot on . Great pizza and very good Italian dishes

First of all we sat outside. It was a lovely evening but not enough lighting for when it started to get dark. The food and wine were excellent. The waitress was great at first but later on we did not see her much. I do not know if she was working inside and outside but otherwise I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my friends.

Excellent in all ways - we sat outside and enjoyed people watching and wonderful weather. Stuffed salmon was excellent - highly recommend trying it. Will be back soon!

We had 6:30 reservations. Once we arrived, we were told to wait for a table. They then seated all parties in the waiting room before us. We finally got our table at 7:00. Additionally, we flagged our reservation as a birthday celebration and there was no acknowledgement by the restaurant. Bottom line, I’m not sure what good the reservation did. With that said, our server was friendly and did a great job. The food was very good. It’s just too bad the restaurant got off on the wrong foot when we arrived

Disappointed that they were out of the special by the time we got there which was 6:15. Rather early to be out of anything. Brought the sangria but forgot to put the fruit in it. I had the whitefish which was good but I wanted to try the pork. The music was a bit loud for conversing.

Our server Alicia was wonderful, and the food delicious!

This was our first time at the Batavia location, we’ve been to the Maple Park location for a wedding before. Meredith was our server and she was AWESOME!!!!! We look forward to going there again.

Great food, nice dinning outside, drink service was a bit slow. Overall our server made it a great experience - in addition to the delicious food.

food and service was very good, thought it was pricey, but worth it.

Great food and wine.
Awesome servers!

The servers were extremely polite, energetic and willing to please all with a sincere smile. Food was hot and presented well. You left feeling satisfied and could feel that you were served with one purpose...to experience a pleasurable evening.

We went with another couple to celebrate our wives' birthdays. We sat at a table in tbe bar. The service was friendly and fast, but not rushed. The food and wine was excellent. We love this restaurant and it has become our favorite in Batavia. We go a couple of times a month for dinner or just drinks and appetzers at the bar. We also joined the wine club earlier in the year and have not been disappointed in their selections.

This is a very nice Italian restaurant that really stood out considering I grew up sampling the best Italian cooking from around my family. The food was wonderfully prepared.

The two things that were very bothersome were a few pesky flies all through the meal, as well as a wait staff that seemed to “hover” every few minutes around our table. I like the service being available, but couldn’t carry a conversation due to the hovering. I understand there isn’t much you can do about the flies, ...or is there?

I would still recommend this place and return simply based on the food quality!

We were seated right away. Waitress was reasonably prompt. She took our drink order. She returned after a while with our drinks and took our dinner order. After quite a wait, other severs brought our entrees. We had no utensils. Our drinks were empty. No one came by to check on us. I had to get up and take utensils from another table. We ate our meal. Our waitress never came by again. Never asked if we wanted another drink. Never asked if our food was alright. We were completely ignored. About 30 minutes after finishing our meal and no one checking with us, we had to go to the hostess stand and ask for check. They said just give us your card and we will run it. I had to insist in actually seeing my bill. They processed it after providing me a copy. No apology, no nothing. Our waitress high tailed it outside when we asked for the check. Unbelievably bad service. DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR TIME. TERRIBLE PLACE. And, their wine is awful. If you want Italian, go to Villa Verone!

The Zuppa di Mare was fantastic as always! Outstanding service!

AC did not work properly on a hot summer day. When asked about the fan near us, it was broken as well. Ruined a night out celebrating my daughter’s birthday.

The staff were wonderful! The hostess could tell we weren’t that happy with our table so she offered to move us. Our waiter was great. Very nice and attentive

It was hot in the restaurant. Not all fans working...also became very noisy.
Had to ask for salt and pepper.

Our second time here. I just need to comment on two items and it won't stop us from coming back another time. First, after we got seated, it took a while before someone came to the table to take a drink order, even though she apologized, someone should have come to say something. Second, and disappointing was the fact we came to try the pizza this time and they got the order wrong, they offered to re make it for free, but I didn't want to wait and I was going to eat it regardless. One pizza was correct but one was suppose to be thin crust and it came out double crust. Otherwise the flavor was good and we will go back and hope the order is correct this time.
Thank you!

Everything was wonderful

We've dined here twice and enjoyed our meal and the experience. You should definitely try their pizza, the orrichette or even the ribeye. You won't be disapppointed.

Sat outside, excellent food with good portions and nice atmosphere. Service was ok (not bad), not enough to complain about... Had to ask for drink refills and getting check took forever... I would go back,
