Reviews for Acqua e Farina in Hayward, CA
Overall great service, spacious restaurant, and quite a lot of people especially for a Thursday early dinner time. I will say... this a bit more expensive than what I’m used to paying for Italian, but I get it. Lamb special was our favorite dish.Perfectly cooked and charred. Pesto chicken pasta we asked to add Alfredo sauce to make it creamy. Didn’tdisappoint! Scallop and shrimp pasta special with wine sauce. This was just OK. Don’t recommend. Arugula salad was a smallportion but tasty. Read more
My ravioli was pretty good. Was with friends the other day and they were very accommodating one of them is vegetarian.
Highly recommend. The three of us enjoyed the Linguine Vongole, Bolognese ravioli, chicken parmesan and calamari appetizer. ... All dishes cooked to perfection and served by a very attentive and personable waiter. Reasonable prices considering quality andquantity. Read more
After spending 26 hours in the car over the last 2 days driving from Texas we were ready for a real meal. It was our 34th... anniversary so we decided to eat here after reading the reviews. Staff was very friendly and accommodating for my group of 5. Ihad the Frutti di mare special and it was fabulous! I have so missed those flavors from when I lived in Italy! My wife hadlasagne and she said it was excellent. We all had a very nice experience, thank you for a nice anniversary dinner amongst allthe chaos of our travels! Read more
The quality of service and food at this price point definitely deserves 5 stars. Great recommendations, friendly and... knowledgeable staff, and the food was great. My one critique would be better appetizers and a slightly larger portion, but allour entrees were excellent. Have only visited once but will definitely be back if we are in the area again! Read more

Roberto the server made the evening. From articulating the long list of specials to managing the details of the appetizer... selections and to the key features we selected as our main courses. Nothing was missed!!! Wall murals give you a sense ofbeing in A small Italian village. Don’t let the store front fool you - the restaurant is huge with great atmosphere. One ofthe best locationsI for dinner, that I have experienced in California. Our meals and service received was amazing!!! Read more
