    I was not a big fan of Italian food, until now. The atmosphere and hospitality of this restaurant is unparalleled. The attention to detail and the complexity of the dishes prepared by Chef Ferdinand is akin to the skill of a surgeon. Acquario is now my Italian, (and perhaps overall), restaurant of choice.

    I usually do not write reviews on Italian restaurants in this area, because I was born and raised in Italy and I have hard time finding any good ones (no offense! 😅). However, whenever I do find one that I like, I always make sure to spread the love! 😍 Everyone always asks me if I know a good Italian place I recommend in the area and Acquario is the ONLY one I absolutely do! We love everything about it: the food is always, consistently amazing! The service is top notch and unmatched. The vibe is perfect for all of the occasions and the place is very beautiful! Best thing, selfishly speaking, is close to my house! 😉 Since we've discovered Acquario, we've been going there for any special occasions, for double dates with friends, for happy hours or special events. Last night we were there for our anniversary and we are never disappointed! The owners and the whole staff are outstanding and always very accommodating. I even took a good friend there as a guest to share the experience and get her opinion, as she's a wonderful chef from Italy, and she was very impressed and got her approval too! 👍🥂 Grazie mille, Acquario! Bravissimi! 👏
