Went back to Aqua Di Mare tonight just in time for the soft opening of their expanded site. They took over the store next door and doubled their size. The floor space in the original side is greatly improved by the repositioning of the bar to the adjacent expansion. The new bar has a full length salt water aquarium with a few fish to start. A salt water aquarium is a major undertaking that must be done gradually to succeed but this looks like an amazing start. The food continues to be delicious with the addition of multiple items in almost every course. We started with the Burrata, Prosciutto and Bruschetta. Each component was delicious. For the main course, I had the Chicken Milanese which is served at the table with the sauce and cheese being slid onto the crispy breaded Chicken cutlet and a side of spaghetti. My wife had the perfectly cooked Chilean Sea Bass and the perfect accompanying glass of wine suggested by the owner, Nikola. My son-in-law had a new dish, the beef wellington. It was also exactly as he likes it, medium rare and super tender. For desert, we had the canoli. The service was excellent yet not intrusive. Best wishes on the new expansion Nikola. With food like this, you should have no trouble filling the space. read more

This restaurant is known for their massive cheese wheel pasta that's made right in front of you and we were so excited for what we thought was going to be the yummiest pasta, butttt things quickly took a turn when our pasta came out cold with hard noodles. The prices are also definitely on the higher end across the menu. I don't think I've ever seen a Beef Wellington priced at $94 and the Cacio E Pepe was $42 with no protein! The table side cooking presentations were also extremely underwhelming and they leave them out and cover the cheese wheel with a towel which definitely ruins the anticipation. The service was also disappointing. Our waiter was new but kept using that as an excuse to everything that went wrong and they forgot every single thing we requested (butter for the bread, chili flakes for the pasta) & we had to ask others for it. We also made reservations online and it wasn't stated that we'd be sitting outside and patio dining isn't my preference in AZ in September. read more

I had been wanting to try this restaurant for so long and was not disappointed. The wait staff was so attentive and gave great recommendations. I also appreciated the thoughtfulness around the timing of delivering food, that was a nice elevated touch. We shared the burrata and prosciutto appetizer, and I had to have the Caesar salad since it's limited each day and comes with anchovies - yum!! For our mains, I had the lobster di mare, which is cooked table side to perfection. And my date had sacchetti porcini and truffle. We My only complaint was the air circulation. It's summer in Arizona and this place does not have great AC inside. I was quite uncomfortable throughout the meal so next time I'll return in a cooler month, but I will be back to try more of the menu! read more

My friends and I came here one evening and sat outside, it was a nice evening the outdoor patio was packed. Our server was very attentive and gave amazing recommendations. I ordered the crab cake and that was phenomenal one of my favorite dishes, the server also recommended us to get the sacchetti porcini and truffle which was an amazing recommendations and one of my favorite dishes. Lastly ordered the tiramisu with baileys and phenomenal one of our favorite Italian places for sure. read more

11.1.25 - been wanting to try this restaurant out and finally tried it! Was able to make reservations the day of. Tried to switch it to patio seating but it was already taken by the time I looked again. It's a cute little spot. Parking is always packed on the weekends in this area but I was lucky to find one nearby. Order: Old Fashioned x2 or 3 Other cocktail (don't remember which) x2 Prawn Cocktail Short Rib Pappardelle Chilean Sea Bass Everything was shared between two people. The appetizer was good. It's the same anywhere you get it. Both of the entrees were delicious! I loved the flavor of the short rib pappardelle sauce. The sauce on the sea bass was good too but out of two, I would choose the pasta. Kinda wished I had tried the cacio e pepe as well since they make that table side in the big cheese wheel. Will for sure get that as well as some other items next time! read more

Acqua di Mare was exactly what we needed. We went on a double date and from the moment we sat down, the vibe was warm, romantic, and quietly special. This is the kind of place where you slow down without being told to. The cacio e pepe finished tableside in the cheese wheel was both a fun little show and genuinely delicious. Not gimmicky, just very well done. The seafood risotto was fabulous, rich and comforting without being heavy, and clearly made with care. What really stayed with me though was the kindness. When they learned we were still grieving the loss of my mom, they surprised us with a free order of cannolis. Completely unexpected and incredibly thoughtful. Food was excellent, but that gesture made the night unforgettable. read more

Absolutely delicious! Worth the price. The Cacio y Pepe was incredible! I've had several dishes there, and they were all excellent.

The wife and I have walked by this place for years and always wanted to give it a try. However you pretty much need reservations to get a table at a decent hour. I finally bit the bullet and got later reservations for a Friday night at 8pm. The restaurant definitely had availability at that later seating. But would still recommend reservations. The cocktails were very good. Complementary bread was delicious. We started with the Octopus and it was cooked perfectly. My wife loved her Aqua Di Mare pasta and I really enjoyed my rigatoni. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other dishes! read more

Be transported to Italy... no passport required Tucked in downtown Chandler, Acqua Di Mare is the kind of place that makes you forget you're in the middle of the Arizona desert. From the moment you walk in, every detail is intentional--elegant, cozy, and effortlessly upscale without feeling stuffy. Indoor + outdoor dining Even in the PHX heat, the patio feels like a breezy Italian beachfront. By 5pm it's fully shaded, misters are on, doors are open, and soft Italian music sets the vibe. True Italian experience This is white tablecloth dining done right. Fresh plates and silverware with every course, impeccable service, and a team that hustles. Niko (the owner) is in the action--not sitting back--and Alex took incredible care of us. No freezers. Everything is fresh. They fly in their lobster. They fly in their meats. And yes... the 44oz A5 American Wagyu tomahawk from Durham, NC is as insane as it sounds. Tableside preparations (rare for this area!) - Tomahawk carved right in front of you - Fresh lobster prepared tableside - Pasta dishes finished in front of you - A unique, zesty tiramisu that's delicate and unforgettable That tomahawk? Two men shared it easily... and there was enough for a third. The vibe Think small Italian village energy--intimate, warm, and intentional. Even the artwork (hello Portofino vibes ) pulls you in. Small space = reservations are a must (They are expanding next door soon with a more casual bar + seating ) If you love elevated dining, fresh ingredients, and an experience--not just a meal--this place delivers. Support the mom & pops. This one is special read more

Why: Our 20th Anniversary. Waited too long to decide where to go. Found Acqua Di Mare using Yelp. Only reservation for our specific 5:30pm Sat nite time slot was Patio. Nervously agreed. LOVED IT! Delightful cocktail & wine menu. Started with a perfectly balanced gin drink. Not too sweet. Not too citrusy. Had 3 to be sure Ceasar Salad crisp, lightly dressed, beautifully plated. Two perky anchovies hanging out for visual delight. Full bodied moist Bread w nice crust came in chunks, no annoying cutting board/knife & crumbs. Say "Yes" to the fresh basil & a small spoon of salt. Delish. Mains (no pics, forgot lol). 1. Chilean Sea Bass was luscious. Perfectly seasoned. Moist & fluffy. Wilted spinach & lightly whipped mound of potato were a great way to sop. 2. The pasta in the Parmesan Wheel is OffTheHook Good. Fresh pasta. Creamy rich but not oily. Full bodied flavor & texture. Husband added chicken, came roasted on the bone. Yum. Grand Finale: Cannoli Full disclosure, I dont even like cannoli. THIS one changed my mind. Outside crisp, flavorful. Filling Light! Fluffy! Just sweet enough to enjoy, not like the dense Frosting you find in most restaurants. Beautifully Plated - Every Dish! NOTE: During dinner we were already discussing what we were going to order on our Next Visit ......and the next after that! read more

This was our second time coming here and we absolutely love it!!! The drinks are so yummy and the fish tastes so fresh. The calamari was fire it was very soft not rubbery at all!!! we would definitely come back for a third time! Service was very good and attentive and the ambiance was romantic. The carbonara was thick and we wouldn't get that next time but i feel that's more for preference! read more

We've been here twice now, and both visits have been fantastic! I usually stick to the same dish if I love it, but on our second visit we decided to mix it up and order family-style--and I'm so glad we did. We had the Caesar salad, the sacchetti porcini & truffle pasta, and the beef Wellington, and everything was absolutely delicious. The Wellington was especially impressive--I've had one at a Gordon Ramsay restaurant, and this one truly measured up! On top of the amazing food, the service is wonderful. The owner is incredibly welcoming, and our server was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. Can't wait to come back and try more from the menu! read more

This is a quaint Italian restaurant with a great outdoor porch. The pasta was fresh and the cheese sauce was made table side with fresh truffles shaved on top.

I tried Acqua Di Mare for the very first time last night and I was pleased! This restaurant has all the coastal Italian vibes--and dare I say the flavors seem authentic?--Yes, absolutely!

A cute spot with good pasta from what we tried. I came here with my bf for my birthday. We both ordered the Cacio E Pepe. I got mine with shrimp and he had his with meat balls. The pasta was delicious however, the price for this pasta without the proteins is a little over priced. At the end I had to order the tiramisu, but was disappointed. The cream had an orange flavor that I was not a fan of. read more

I didn't know about this place until my friend wanted to visit for a little celebration. My friend sold me on the "pasta made with a cheese wheel" that I'm sure many of us have seen on Instagram, so I definitely ordered the Cacio e Pepe. We had the calamari (fried squid) as an appetizer, it was gone in minutes! My friends ordered the Acqua Di'Mare and the Short Rib Pappardelle, both were delicious from the tastes I had. The cacio was decadent and wonderful, I probably should've had a protein with it but it was also just as well without one. I enjoyed watching the server prepare it tableside and he was happy to answer any questions we had. Overall a great experience and I'll be back someday! read more

If I could give more than five stars, I would. Aqua Di Amare is hands down one of the best dining experiences in Chandler. I've been there at least 50 times, and every single visit has been consistently outstanding. Chef Leo absolutely delivers--every dish is crafted to perfection, full of flavor, and clearly made with passion. You can tell there's real pride in the kitchen. And Nicola, the owner, sets the tone for the entire place. His attention to detail and commitment to quality shows in everything--from the food to the service to the overall atmosphere. It's rare to find a restaurant that stays this consistent over time, but Aqua Di Amare nails it every single time. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality food and an amazing experience, this is the place. Highly recommend--you won't be disappointed. read more

Acqua Di Mare - Lobster di Amare - Mediterranean Near Me - Chandler, Arizona

Was a good evening with good company. Some misses but it was overall a good experience.

I was so excited to try this place out as it's one i'd pass by everyday after work. Thankfully, my friend decided to celebrate her 20th birthday here and I got the chance to try! I had very high expectations as i've heard many great things about this place. I did enjoy my experience and would likely come back and order things I regretted not ordering but, I wasn't wowed. I was on a budget so I ordered their carbonara pasta and a mocktail. My pasta was extremely salty, hard to enjoy. My mocktail was good, but kind of tasted just like a basic strawberry lemonade. I do think my experience was my fault and I should have ordered something totally different for the real experience which is why I want to try it out again and hopefully get wowed. My friend ordered the cheese wheel pasta and it looked amazing... The little show was pretty cool as well! If you want to have a good experience definitely come without a small budget to get the experience everyone raves about. read more

Can't wait to go back. Everything we tasted was incredible, and the staff truly felt like family. Our waiter was so knowledgeable--not just about the menu, but about how to pair each dish perfectly. And don't even get me started on the fresh bread for the table... or the olive oil. Unreal. Then there was the cheese wheel straight from Italy, prepared tableside by a gentleman who learned the craft at just 13 from his grandmother, a Sicilian chef. An unforgettable experience. read more

Apologies in advance to the readers for my novel experience from start to finish. We made a reservation and got sat inside. As soon as we sat down, I instantly wanted to move outside to the fresh air and to escape the very obnoxious patron sitting at the bar (later found out it was the owner). We each ordered a glass of wine and started with the carpaccio appetizer, which was truly the first best thing about this experience. The dish was freshly prepared and it was melt in your mouth goodness. The second best thing was our expensive bottle of wine. Our server got held up at a table, so another server brought us the bottle of wine and un corked it for us. Mind you, this was a $155 bottle of wine in a "fine dining" establishment where our server, not once, poured our wine for us or refilled our glasses as she walked by (mainly because we barely saw her). We were lucky to even get water with out having to stop someone, so I suppose getting a wine pour was going to be out of the question. We ordered the table side Cacio Pepe pasta, the Dover fish (also table side) and the Steak Nicola (table side-ish). For starters the food took over an hour to be at our table, ready for the "table side" experience. The server apologized a few times but in reality, when I walked in the restaurant to use the facilities, the back of the house staff was so busy cleaning the kitchen, rushing around to get out of there, we continued to wait for the one and only chef to prepare our food. Anyway...the food gets there and it's starts off with a very, very under whelming portion of pasta for $47. Not creamy, very sticky, honestly because it felt like the server rushed. Where was the fun table side cheese wheel experience? Hard to say. The Dover Sole was not cut properly, it looks like half the fish was left on the board (see video) and the mashed potatoes (see video posted) were a giant cold BRICK!!!! It was hilariously disgusting. The Steak Nicola was an ackward cut of meat which made the cook temperature very off (see picture/video). The outside wonky pieces were well done, the next bite was medium well and the inside was medium rare. Who wants to ride that roller coaster when eating a steak?! YUM! The only postive was the sauce, the sauce that was poured on top was good. If all of this sounds like a great time, you'll be happy to know the owner and his family were also a giant distraction during our dinner service. The owner, Nikola(?), was talking loudly to the staff about there personal lives, leaving, coming back, bringing his dog and family. Speaking loudly over us on the patio from across the street and into the restaurant. Hey I get it, right? It's a family establishment and some people wouldn't mind this. But for a $390 meal, in a "fine dining" restaurant, I would of expected so much more professionalism from him, our server and the chef who did our table side meal. We won't be back. In fact, even after our server comp'd our pasta and gave us a complimentary brownie dessert, it still didn't make up for the experience we had, and going back would be tragic. To say the least. This review received a 2 star because our server was nice, the carpaccio appetizer was actually delicious and the bottle of wine was great! read more

My husband and I have been raving about this place since we ate here in February for my birthday. A couple of our friends decided to treat us before they left for the holidays to Atlanta where they have a second home. Anyway as usual, the service was magnificent! We had the same server as before, and I can't remember his name, but he was phenomenal, but he didn't cook the lobster this time. Perhaps that's why the food didn't quite hit as well as it did before. (insert sad face here! ) Don't get me wrong, it was still good, but I was a tad disappointed with my dish, and my husband was disappointed in his dish as well. I ordered the Lobster Di Amare and it felt like it lacked something. I asked them to make it without the tomatoes, so maybe that's what was missing, the acid from the tomatoes. It wasn't bad, but it just wasn't as great as I remember. Now my husband had the paella and that was disappointing. When he ordered the paella in February, it was your traditional paella served on rice and it came with huge prawns, not shrimp. I have to say that again the prawns were huge and everything was cooked perfectly! They've changed the paella and now they serve it over a risotto and the shrimp are just large shrimp, not prawns. Again everyone enjoyed their food and the service, but it just wasn't like it was when we visited in February! Please bring back the paella and make it like you did back in February with the big prawns on the crispy rice. That dish was a showstopper!! Oh yeah, I almost forgot. The mashed potatoes were cold and it was just the big old block of mashed potatoes. The lobster bisque was excellent, but those mashed potatoes, Those were nothing to write home about. They weren't creamy and they were very stiff. They sat there on the plate while the server cooked my lobster. I'm assuming they got cold while sitting there on a plate out in the open. read more

My husband took me here for our anniversary dinner and everything was immaculate! We sat on the patio and it just so happened that there was live music on the corner that was perfect for the vibe. Still unsure if this was intentional or not but my husband swears that they had to be paid because they were playing Italian type music and it made the whole experience that much better. We ordered the cheese wheel pasta, a meat dish and of course, dessert. My husband said he was too full to share a dessert initially but I chose to order the tiramisu anyway and he ended up eating 3/4 of it. He still says it's the best tiramisu he's ever had. I truly don't feel like you could go wrong with any of the food options here. Every time they brought out a dish to another table, we couldn't help but eyeball it because it all looked so good. If you want a nice evening out and willing to spend a little more, this is the place!! read more

Acqua Di Mare is a must try! Cute Italian restaurant with amazing food. Manager Gabe was attentive, Chef Leo is a gem with his food creations and kindness visiting tables and Ashlee was a great waitress. We started with the Octopus and Calamari (fried squid). Both were made to perfection. Great flavor and so tender. A perfect start to the dinner. We had the Caprese and Caesar Salad next. Both had solid flavors, but the Caesar was our favorite. What a treat. Exactly what I'm looking for in a Caesar salad. So good! The pesto on the Caprese was house made and so tasty. I want to try a pesto dish next time. My wife had the Sacchetti Porcini with truffle and it was light and perfectly balanced flavor. The pillows melted in your mouth. Will definitely have again. The Lobster Ravioli had a well balanced limoncello flavor and not too creamy. Cool striped pasta. Perfect for those not super hungry but wanting a unique dish that is sure to please. Steak Nicola was was cooked to perfection and had a suburb combination of black truffle, aus jus and prosciutto cotto to make it a memorable dish. I'm still craving it the day after. The cannelloni for dessert was perfectly Italian with awesome flavors. A perfectly compliment to an amazing dinner. This is a gem is Chandler!!! Thank you to Aqua Di Mare for making this an amazing experience. read more

We recently dined at Acqua Di' Mare with a party of six after making reservations approximately two weeks in advance for a Birthday celebration. The restaurant itself is charming and intimate, and I want to be clear that this review is not directed at the chef or the quality of the food. Unfortunately, I don't feel I can fairly evaluate the meal because the dining conditions overwhelmed the experience. Upon arrival, our party was seated outside despite the temperatures being well into the triple digits. When we questioned the seating arrangement, we were told that indoor seating was limited and they could not accommodate our group inside. However, there was another party of six seated indoors at the time. More importantly, at no point during the reservation process were we informed that our group might be seated outdoors. Had we been told in advance that patio seating was likely, we could have made an informed decision about whether to proceed, choose a different time, or select another restaurant. Instead, we learned this only after arriving. The result was that the heat became the dominant part of the evening. I ordered the carbonara, but the temperature made it difficult to enjoy any rich entrée. In fact, I considered ordering only a salad because of the conditions. By the end of the meal, my lasting memory was not the food, but the discomfort. This is disappointing because the restaurant appears to have potential, and I suspect the food may be much more enjoyable under different circumstances. My criticism is not of the kitchen but of the lack of communication regarding seating expectations, especially during an Arizona summer. I would encourage Acqua Di' Mare to be more transparent when taking reservations for larger parties. A simple heads-up that outdoor seating was likely would have prevented a great deal of frustration and allowed guests to make an informed choice read more

Very intimate location. Service was amazing, explained everything in great detail. The table side meals was great to watch. Very entertaining. We ordered the table side pasta which was amazing!

I've been eyeing this place for some time now. Finally decided to come here for date night. It's a cute little place, and when I say little I mean we sat right next to a table, where we could literally hear them chew. Wish we could have gotten a different table. We ordered the octopus to start, it was cooked perfectly, but the table right next to us their sizing was different from ours which I found odd. My date ordered Cacio E Pepe, the cheese wheel pasta, I honestly expected them to give us the excess cheese they scraped out, since technically we paid for it, but it was thrown out instead. Don't understand the hype of it all especially since we didn't get much cheese out of it. I suppose we paid for the experience. I can't remember the name of what I got but it was pretty good. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Service I understand is supposed to be kind of intimate, but I found it to be ridiculously slow. The table next to us ordered three desserts while we were waiting on our check. Instead of dropping off our check and maybe letting us pay so we could leave. We had to sit and watch our server prepare all the desserts at the table. Cool we got a free show, but we had to wait for them, then another table to get their dessert before he even remembered to give us our check. So that was a bit annoying. I also witnessed a consumer state that their lamb was incredibly undercooked and instead of just cooking it more, they were told that's how it was intended. No raw is not how lamb should be eaten. Med rare would be perfect temp or whatever the consumer may have wanted... All in all, nice place, but I rather spend my money else where. read more

I really loved my dining experience at Acqua Di Mare. I really had no idea what to expect and my unknown expectations were definitely exceeded! We tried the salad of the day, which was a wedge, rack of lamb, and sacchetti and I love them all! I think the salad of the day was overpriced for what we received ($20) - half head of iceberg with a small handful of crumbled, bacon, blue cheese, and tomato. The entrées were a little on the pricier side, but I thought the quality was fantastic. I absolutely loved the pesto and truffle sauce on the pasta. Bread was brought to the table with olive oil to dip and fresh cut basil. I asked for a side of Parmesan and our server Rachel scraped some of the cheese wheel off for us instead! Rachel was funny and casual and brought some light and comic relief to our evening. I saw the cacio e pepe made table side for another party and it definitely looked exciting and delicious! read more

What a sad disappointment. We were excited to try this place and chose it to celebrate our 35th anniversary. We reserved a patio table since it was the only seating available, figuring it would be worth it if the restaurant lived up to the hype of the reviews. Unfortunately, it did not. From the moment we were seated, we felt overlooked. In a nutshell, the server was extremely inattentive. We were not acknowledged for at least 15 minutes which was extremely awkward as we sat dressed to celebrate, and feeling invisible. After finally placing our drink order, it took another 20 minutes for the drinks to arrive. To our dismay - they arrived warm. I ordered a Grey Goose Dirty Martini, and it was served warm. SMH. We also ordered the chilled jumbo prawn appetizer, which unfortunately arrived warm as well - even the cocktail sauce was warm. The shrimp, while large, were dry and flavorless. At that point, it became clear the food quality simply wasn't there. Meanwhile, my husband was already searching his phone for another restaurant. Thankfully, we managed to get into a new place just around the corner. After spending an hour and a half at Aqua, we paid our check and left. The new restaurant delivered exactly the experience we had hoped for - outstanding service, perfectly chilled martinis complete with ice chips, and an excellent meal. I'm honestly floored by our experience here, especially considering the glowing reviews this place receives. Maybe it was a one-off, but it was disappointing enough that we won't risk giving it a second chance. read more

A perfect experience from beginning to end. Very enjoyable. Not sure they do this for everyone, but I received a shot of limoncello for my birthday at the end of the meal.

Had a really disappointing experience this past weekend. We booked a reservation for our anniversary dinner and completely regret choosing this place for a special occasion. Arrived and seated quickly but unfortunately our table was right next to the kitchen window cramped between another table. The place is tiny, so no options to switch. I thought about just walking out but figured how bad can it be. Well, it was bad. Unable to have a conversation over the staff shouting back and forth to kitchen, getting constantly bumped by servers long story short this table should not have been there. As far as the food, big emphasis on the show of tableside preparations, but for us the flavors were just nothing special. Extremely basic Italian fare for high prices. When we booked they asked if it was a a special occasion, and I told them it was out anniversary. Zero acknowledgement. I don't care about a free dessert but why bother to ask in the first place when booking? Hard pass on this place, especially if you are celebrating something. read more

Acqua di Mare is an intimate Italian restaurant in downtown Chandler. It's tucked away from the main drag, and the largest reservation that can be made is for a party of 6. So, pick your favorite 5 people to join you for this dining experience! Many of the dishes are prepared/finished tableside. The flair and attention to every detail - from truffle shavings to flambé was not only entertaining but absolutely delicious! This was on my list of restaurants to try, and it did not disappoint. I can't believe it has taken me this long to review, as I have talked so highly of this place to so many people already. But now I'm sharing it with the Yelp community as well. Food, service, ambiance - 11 out of 10!!! read more

I'm really upset that I didn't come here sooner. I've walked by this place a hundred times and always saw it was busy. This place did not disappoint. We made reservations for later in the evening and were greeted by a friendly hostess. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the wine list and pairings and made recommendations on the menu. We don't get too many date nights and this was worth every penny. The attention to detail in the food was unreal and loved that you could get a show if you ordered the cacio e Pepe. We will be back for sure to get more of the meatballs and to try their tiramisu which looked insane. read more
