Acqua E' Farina

If you don't care Pizza but just Italian food then this is a very good restaurant at Hayward downtown.
The menu is limited, but overall the dishes quality is above average.
Service is good too and we tip the waitress extra.
18% gratuity will be added to the bill if Party of 6 or over, a common practice of American restaurants.
Corkage is $15 per bottle.
We had 9 persons and brought 2 bottles of red, the bill is $310+.

I didn't think it was anything great, but that may just be me. They had exceptional customer service however. Had the ravioli, it was pretty good

We had my sister's birthday party there. It was a great time. Service for a large part of 30+ people was fantastic. Food was great, even after living in Italy for 3 yrs it was very memorable

Excellent Italian food! Staff is very friendly and welcoming. This is definitely my go to place in Hayward.

We went here on a recommendation, and we were very pleasantly surprised: the experience exceeded our expectations. The place is not inexpensive (almost 20.00 for Chicken Parm), but the food was DELICIOUS. We were seated in the upper room (elevated about 5 steps), but there are entry-level seats and wheelchair accessible bathrooms. There are great Italian city-street murals painted on the walls, and all of the staff was wonderful. Hayward isn't our area, but we will definitely go back!
