Easily my best restaurant experience in years. We had dinner for four, two vegetarian dinners plus different wines with all... eleven courses. Each offering was perfectly plated. Four servers simultaneously delivering each dish while the head waiterexplained each offering. A perfect performance. Over the five hours it was one feast after enother. The sommelier wasexcellent; pairing the perfect wine with each offering. Read more

Like many of the locals, Acquerello is a successful millennial, just a little over three decades old. It would have been cool to... have seen this place before it was converted from a chapel. The history seems to linger with the look, feel, and smells of anolder building with the dark wooden beams. We came to celebrate an anniversary with the $150 4-course prix fixe and the $95 winepairing. We were seated in a cozy little corner and served fresh bread with salt flakes and perfectly wheel shaped pat ofbutter, which the server informed us is Clover butter. To start, we had a trio of amuse bouches - stuffed olives duck livermousse, and what I believe were hamachi tarts and olive oil cakes. All were incredibly tasty, and the rest of the dishes weregood, but actually did not have as much of an oomph. Carpaccio of Hiramasa, melon, tapioca, fermented pepper - Great! Neverthought I'd be eating raw fish with tapioca, but the textures work, similar to that of a poke bowl. Rossotti Ranch vitelotonnato, caper, Parmesan, olive - Great! Buttery raw slices of veal accompanied with a buttery parmesan cube, an olive and acaper spread. Ridged pasta with faux "foie gras," black truffle, and Marsala - Great! I was most looking forward to the pastadishes, which were rich and delicious, though not altogether amazing. I would not mistake the creamy sauce for 'faux foie gras'and the 'ridged pasta' resembled rigatoni to me. The black truffle was the best part. On a side note, they kept upselling thetruffle, which was kept in an enclosed case. Every time they opened it, the wonderful aroma wafted throughout therestaurant. Cocoa and oxtail ravioli, spiced peanut, crispy leeks - Good! The ravioli, shaped like ridged tartlets, were alsorich and tasty, although it is rather on the sweet side. With each successive bite, the sweetness builds. Liberty duck, sourcherry, fennel, smoked honey, black cardamom - Good! Very tender duck with golden brown skin (which could have been crispie Read more

We had a really good time at Acquerello! Being Italian, this felt a little bit like a flashback from the past - everything from... the decor, the style, the manners, the food, reminded me of a fancy Italian wedding in the 90s - it was a pleasant experience:) All dishes were nicely executed, everything was extremely pleasant, although nothing would clearly stand out. A nice surprisewas the pairing of Brachetto with the dessert - as an Italian, Brachetto is a total cliché wine that I would have not order,but I was pleasantly surprised of how well the paring was done. All in all it was a good experience, although didn't really feellike a 2 Michelin stars place to be honest, but maybe is just me. Good experience, although not necessarily in my "return list",but glad I went. Read more
