I have tried several items on their menu - the branzino, the cioppino, the shrimp pasta special, the clams with linguini, the pear salad, and the Bolognese pasta, and each dish is so delicious, and has me coming back for more. But what was most surprising was an encounter that I had at the restaurant this past week. An incredibly rude patron/troll-like woman came up to my table to let us know that my kids were not welcome at this restaurant. They are not perfect kids, but they do know how to behave at a nice restaurant like Aqua Mare. Our amazing waitress, Ekaterina, immediately came up after this encounter to apologize, saying Aqua Mare absolutely is a family restaurant, and she even offered to speak to the rude troll on our behalf. Wow. They have won us over as customers for life. Thank you, Ekaterina. You made our night.
The food was very good, service excellent! Highly recommended! I had the lobster ravioli and it was delicious!
We had a fantastic dinner experience at this new wonderful neighborhood restaurant. We chose three of the starters for our meal, and they were all delicious! The super thin beef carpaccio, eggplant Parmesan, and one of the salads were all super fresh and authentic Italian! Our waiter, Brian, was very attentive and did a great job serving.
Stopped by semi-randomly after a hike in the nearby trails with my family and was rewarded for the impulsive decision. The carrapacio Il carne was exquisite and the pesto was just about the freshest and most flavorful I've had outside someone's home. Our cocktails were very well mixed and we had a beautiful view of the wetlands with egrets and ducks playing in sight. Service was very attentive and warm. Highly recommended.
Amazing place with stunning views, delicious food and top notch service. Particularly love it here because it's away from the crowds, traffic and hassle.
