A North Beach favorite! I always love coming here, their drinks are so creative and delicious and their food is well-crafted and tastes amazing. It was super busy during north beach fest so the service was a little slower than usual, but a fun lunch overall.
We had such a lovely experience at Acquolina. The food was delicious, fresh and full of flavour, but what really made the evening special was the service. The team was incredibly kind, attentive and genuinely caring throughout the whole meal. We felt very welcomed and well looked after from beginning to end. A beautiful place for good Italian food and an even better hospitality experience. P.S.: A big hug for Rodolfo 🍀
The pizza was delicious, ingredients were fresh and tasty! Our waiter was quite nice. My daughter and her boyfriend liked the cocktails. There was no wait and we left satisfied.
It’s one of the spots in North beach you’ll always find a table without wait. Their food is decent but the service could be better (we had our appetizers coming together with the main course). Prices are average and can’t say anything special about the ambience. My recommendation on food would be lasagna.
