Established in 1996, Acqua Ristorante combines
classic and innovative Italian cuisine in a lively, elegant
atmosphere. Owner-operators Matteo, Giuseppe and Luciano Ingrao's
passion for food is evident in the selection of the finest ingredients
and in the careful detail of food preparation. Patrons can enjoy
classic pasta dishes such as Linguine Vongole, linguine pasta
with baby clams, roasted garlic, extra virgin olive oil and
white wine. The more adventurous patron can partake in a trendier
selection such as Crispy Seared Red Snapper over a Porcini Mushroom
and Spinach Risotto. A versatile wine list features exciting
Italian and California wines designed to enhance the dining
experience. Wines are carefully chosen to match the chef's cuisine.
