Went there for a birthday dinner celebration and it definitely felt like a date or celebration meal. All staff that we were in contact with was very attentive and friendly. Food was delicious! got a pizza, pasta, and beef carpaccio, all of them had stood out. Of course price is on the higher end but I think I'd return for another celebration meal! read more

Came here with some friends for a birthday and we were seated at the patio. Our server was friendly and there was a good atmosphere as they were playing fifa on 2 large television screens on 2 sides of the patio. We ordered an assortment of items to share family style. Stand outs were the hokkaido scallops, octopus, lamb chops, and frutti di mare risotto. I would return just for their frutti di mare dish! We all agreed the food was great and is worth returning for. The only negative was that it was starting to rain towards the end of the night but they didn't pull the clear rain shield down on our side only. read more

Went to Acquafarina for Dine Out. Yes, a bit of a late post but it's a spot I've always wanted to check out. The decor and ambiance were beautiful, especially the raised pizza area and the artwork, which really added to the overall atmosphere. It definitely feels like a great place for a date night or gathering with friends and family. The food was good and we had an enjoyable experience overall, but nothing in particular stood out as especially memorable. With so many new Italian restaurants popping up locally and the competition being quite strong, I think at this price point there are other places you might also want to explore. That said, Acquafarina is still a solid choice with a great vibe, good food, and a welcoming atmosphere. I'd consider coming back, especially for a relaxed evening out. read more

They did not recognize my service dog and did not keep their promise to honour my Open Table reservation so that i could get the points.

Our friends recommend us to check out Acquafarina for their Dineout menu and pizza! Our server Aranza was amazing, really made our night by giving us amazing recommendations. We have to say this is one of the best Dineout experience for us this year! She took care of table and ensure we had everything we needed ~ The star of the show has to the be the spicy ham & pear pizza and tiramisu!! The room had great mood lighting and it wasn't too loud. Would definitely recommend this place to friends, can't wait to come back and try other dishes!! read more

Food was very good especially the smoke octopus. The presentation was very impressive for the octopus when the plate is brought out with glass dome filled with smoke then unveiled at the table. We also had the chilean sea bass and pizza. The sea bass was done just perfectly in a papillote. read more

I had dinner at Acquafarina recently and honestly, everything felt very intentional. We started with a few appetizers to share and you can tell the ingredients are high quality right away--nothing feels overcomplicated, just really well executed. The pasta was probably the highlight for me. Perfect texture, rich but still balanced, and not heavy at all. You can taste that it's made with attention to detail, not just thrown together. We also tried the branzino, which was super clean and fresh, cooked perfectly. What I liked most is that it feels like a proper dining experience without being pretentious. The room, the service, the pacing--it all comes together really well. Definitely a place I'd go back to, especially for a slower dinner with good wine and great food. read more

First and foremost the service at Acqua is exceptional, and first class. The space itself is very cool given the space they had to work with. The washrooms are a little odd, but the evolution of washrooms seems to be in full swing. We mentioned we were in no rush upon arrival, but did find the service a little slow. There were moments filled with a flurry of activity like the white wine cooler and red wine decanter dropped off and then ten minutes of waiting for the wine to happen. My Sea bass was excellent, and the lovely K's Waygu steak exceptional. Our guest had the Romeo and Juliet (duck confit & foie gras cappelletti, duck chips and truffle) which was very good, but the portion was a little on the small side. We also had dessert which we seldom do, and it was also very good. We got three items and shared them all. We would definitely give it another go. read more

I wanted to find a restaurant near Queen Elizabeth Theatre for dinner, and saw that Acquafarina had a decent looking happy hour menu that runs to 5:30pm, so I thought it was worth trying. I made reservations for 5:00pm. We arrived a little early, but they still sat us down immediately in the patio. Despite being right on Georgia Street, we felt were transported somewhere else more quieter. It was really nice. We decided to try the following: - Costolette Persiane - Very good. I always worry that lamb gets overcooked and becomes gamey. But it didn't happen here. This lamb was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of char. Yogurt added great flavour. - Gnocchi Pomodoro - Good. Very simple dish where you can't hide anything. The gnocchi was quite light. Smallish serving though. - Lucky Luciano Pizza - Very good. I could see the pizza ovens in the back, and they make good use of them. Great crust, and good proportion of high quality ingredients. - Oysters - Good. Easy. Meaty. - Focaccia Artigianale - Good. We didn't actually order this, but for some reasons, gave us a complimentary order. The balsamic butter is great, and the bread helped sop up the pomodoro. - Dolce Vita - Good. Solid dessert. Service was strong. Our server did everything that we would expect from a restaurant of this calibre. Overall, a nice meal. Good quality food and service, plus at happy hour prices. I would gladly return if I had another event to attend at QE Theatre. read more

Absolutely amazing happy hour! Blown away by the amazing service by the servers and Kerry - the food and drinks were all spot on. Came here with my friend Jenn and started with the espresso martini - delicious. For food, we tried the focaccia, the beef carpaccio, truffle fries and gnocchi. The foccacia was served warm with a delicious butter. Beef carpaccio was not too heavy and seasoned well. Truffle fries were nice and crispy with a good amount of Parmesan on top. Gnocchi were pillowy soft with a great tomato sauce. Moved on to the next other happy hour drink - bourbon sour. Loved the cinnamon in this. Next on the drink menu, the negroni. Really solid and smooth with a delightful citrus note. Onto dessert - tiramisu. Classic Italian dessert and loved the pour of extra coffee at the table. Couldn't say no to an amaro to end the night. Loved the nonimo - not too sweet, very balanced. Can't wait to come back! read more

We came for happy hour on a Friday. They started off by giving us so bread. The bread was a bit dry but the balsamic butter was interesting. For cocktails we had the Christmas holiday special. It tasted like Christmas in a cocktail. Very warming. We had the steak with fries. The steak wasn't that great as it was a bit chewy. We got it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly but it was just a bit chewy for me. The fries on the other hand were perfectly crispy and very addicting. We got a pizza and it was nice and chewy. Well cooked but a bit too salty for me. I liked the smokiness from the char. The espresso martini was not good at all. Not smooth and the espresso was no good. No balance in the drink The tiramisu was well presented (they pour espresso into the cake) but the taste was Mediocre. It was creamy but very boring and felt like something you could get from Costco. Overall service was good. Very fast and nice. Hostess at first didn't want to seat us as we didn't have a reservation but after we pointed out that there were free seats at the bar she was happy to accommodate. Food was okay. Drinks were okay. I would only come back for the cocktail of the day and the French fries. I might come back to try the beef carpaccio read more

I was not impressed with the Valentines meal I had here. The food was ok but nothing special with only the risotto and the steak being worth the trip. Service was mixed. Dirty martini without the olives, smarmy look at my date, odd portions and plating. Granted the reservation was for 10:30 after a show but for the price it shouldn't have felt like we were an afterthought. Where we were seared wasn't particularly nice either. Noisy near the back next to a ladder and the kitchen. Won't be coming back I'm afraid. read more

Honestly I was pretty disappointed in my happy hour experience and am unsure if I'd go back again. Food: - we had the HH Oysters which were great. They were fresh, tasty and large in size - we had the truffle fries which were also fine The burger was the disappointment. We split the burger and I could not even finish my half. Two bites in and all I tasted was salt. Pure SALT. It was bad. It was also just meat. No lettuce, no tomatoes, just a giant salty thing of meat between two buns with some cheese and pickles. The server repeatedly asked me if I wanted to pack up the burger because it was not eaten and I declined (I'm not one to send back food but this would've been the time to do it). Perhaps I'm in the wrong to go have a burger at an Italian restaurant but TikTok made me try it with a review of this "delicious" waygu beef burger that was $28 on the HH menu. There was also inconsistent communication of table seating times. The hostess said we had 2hours and our server told us we had 1hr45 and we definitely felt pressured to leave early. read more

Acquafarina is easily one of the best fine dining Italian spots I've been to. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels elegant, refined, and truly special--perfect for a date night, celebration, or just treating yourself to a great experience. The food is outstanding across the board, but the pizza really deserves a special mention--honestly one of the best I've ever had. Perfectly balanced, high-quality ingredients, and cooked to perfection. You can really taste the authenticity and attention to detail in every bite. Service is polished, attentive, and makes you feel taken care of without being over the top. Everything about the experience feels thoughtful and elevated. If you're looking for a true Italian fine dining experience in Vancouver, this place is a must. Definitely one I'll keep coming back to. read more

The service was excellent - our server was informative and throughly explained the menu items to us. Our water glasses were never empty and the food came out like clockwork. While they noted we only have 1.5 hours of dining time due to Dine Out Vancouver, we never felt rushed. The friendly manager/head server chatted with us to make sure we're enjoying ourselves. It's definitely a fine dining experience, the food was top notch. Everything was flawless, decadent, and mouth watering. My only complaint would be the portions were a bit small. I have to say I also enjoyed the table bread a lot - wished I asked for a refill! read more

What I love about DineOutVancouver is you get to try new restaurants at an affordable price point. Acquafarina should be on your radar as the service, food and ambience are absolutely on-point. We had their tuna crudo and wagyu beef carpaccio to start. No offence to the crudo but the wagyu was melt in your mouth delicious with a generous serving too. (We did see they had a pizza available for +$20 which we were tempted to order but didn't. Other tables did order it and looked scrumptious). Next up was their braised bison short rib. Exactly what's you'd expect with super tender and flavorful bison over a a creamy polenta. We also had their roaster sea bass which was excellent. The seafood broth was a nice touch to accentuate the flavors of the sea. For dessert, we had their pizzetta dolce which is a dessert pizza. I enjoyed that but not as much as the tiramisu moderno. A great meal and grateful we had the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful restaurant! read more

This was our first stop in Vancouver to kick off our girls trip which was all about eating delicious food, sipping craft cocktails and chilling. And I have to say it was a superb start. When traveling, I tend to seek out Italian places b/c we don't have many where I live. I found Acquafarina on the Michelin Guide website and knew I had to try it. After all, it is my dream Italian restaurant b/c they have bomb pizza, make all their pastas in house and offer a beautiful cocktail menu. We all loved the vibe even though we felt a little underdressed. But it was lunch and no one seemed to judge. The open bar and large wood-burning pizza oven perched above the tables create a warm, inviting space. Throw in some comfy seating, big windows, and wood panelling and it just feels so loungey. We also enjoyed our server. He was friendly and attentive. Started with the heirloom tomatoes and burrata to share. The buratta was the right amount of creamy, seasoned well and drizzled with a good balsamic. As I mentioned, I am a sucker for homemade pasta and their rigatoni did not disappoint. Beautifully prepared al dente, tossed with the right amount sauce and seasoned to perfection. My friend had the mushroom risotto which had the perfect consistency as seen in the photo I posted. Risotto is tricky b/c many places overcook it - but you don't need be scared to order it here. We made sure nothing went to waste and used the warm bread they gave us to sop up every last bite so our plates were clean when they left the table. Then there was that pizza with it's gorgeous crust all bubbled and charred, just the way I like it. What really takes it to another level is the presentation. When they serve it, you are instantly smitten by that luscious, rich, creamy ball of soft, fresh buratta sitting atop the pie they place in front of you. But don't worry, your server will gladly spread that warm goodness for you so that each bite is like heaven in your mouth. Not to be missed. read more

This restaurant threads the needle between casual and fine dining well; the lunch menu is a pared down version of what is available at dinner, but there is no lack of options for a satisfying meal. We shared the tuna tartare and octopus for appetizers; for entrees, the fusilone bolognese, linguine vongole, and the sea bass; and in lieu of dessert, the cheese plate. The pizza looked good - I had a bit of order-envy. We'll have to come back for it (mmm mortadella). Service was very attentive. Pasta was al dente. House-baked bread was warm and fluffy. All of the boxes were ticked. read more

Almost forgot about this place! Went there a few months ago. LOVE the setting, the entire team was helpful, friendly and helpful. After trying to modify a couple of menu items, I just asked the waiter to ask Chef to make me a vegan pasta... it was a simple spaghetti tossed in a tomato based sauce that was SO flavourful. Beautiful bar, where we sat and were spoiled by the skilled mixologist. The wine room is INSANE: the sommelier rides a cherry picker to access the higher shelves. Just go ... and sit at the bar. read more

Hands down my Favourite Italian Restauran in Vancouver. The Service is great and the food is high end.

Everything is delicious, perfect ambiance, and great service. They have a covered patio area that's perfect, hidden behind hedges. It feels like a little private garden in downtown. The truffle parmesan fries were delicious, flavours perfectly balanced. Beef carpaccio was amazing. The burratao & pesto rosso had the best tomato sauce, bold and flavorful. The lasagna was unique with a bechamel sauce, and we were told they're made individually. Everything was wonderful, highly recommend this place. read more

Had my birthday dinner here on a quiet Wednesday night. There were only 3 other tables besides us, but service was slow. Ambiance feels luxurious with the high ceilings and impressive wine cellar. The food is Michelin star quality and I enjoyed every bite. The only dish I didn't care for was the octopus. I found the tomato marmalade too sour. We ordered 3 appies, a pasta and a steak to share and it was filling. Servers were attentive, we had our plates changed for every course. However, there was too much wait time between each course (30 min between appies & pasta). Our server came over to apologize to tell us 'this is embarrassing but I forgot to punch in the next course so it'll be a wait, but luckily it's quick to make.' That's not something I expected to hear at a Michelin recommended restaurant, and they didn't offer to give us anything while we waited. When you make a reso online, you're given the option to purchase a small/medium/large cake. It's a tiramisu cake that's made freshly in house. I was pretty full so they cut a piece for us and I took the rest home. Again, a long wait between our last dish and dessert. read more

Oof I really expected more from a Michelin recommended restaurant. We had a pizza and the lobster linguine, and I think another dish that wasn't memorable. The pizza was not particularly flavourful and the crust was totally flaccid. A bit wet even. The pasta sauce totally lacked flavour. Ambiance was upscale and service was lovely. Overall, I've had much better Italian food at much more affordable restaurants. I've heard their non-Italian dishes are better, but then why are they an Italian restaurant? Don't know that I would come back. read more

Finally had the chance to experience this Michelin worthy restaurant. From the onset, already very impressed with its location and ambiance as you enter its premises. Lots of metal and glass, very high ceilings and fancy decors. Very professional and prestigious. Makes you feel like you ate indeed going out to a fancy placeZ For appys: we ordered the wagyu carpaccio. - absolutely amazing. One of the best i've ever had in vancouver. Premium quaity beef sliced razor thin and cured to absolute goodness. For mains: we tried the lasagna. - this is not what your grandma makes. Its sold in limited quantities So order it if its available. Very intricate way of weaving the pasta sheets...delicate yet sturdy enough to hold the bison ragu sauce. Layers upon layers of creamy béchamel sauce and parmesan spuma. So creamy and melt in your mouth goodness. A must try for sure. Also tried the lobster tail linguini with caviar and lobster oil. Pasta and lobster were perfectly made. Lobster oil a bit weak but nice serving of caviar to provide that balanced saltiness. Next was the risotto with scallops. Again, rice was well-made and risotto cooked to perfection. The scallops tasted really fresh, but would've been nice if they seared it a bit for more smoky flavour. But it was still good. One comment i wanna make is that across all The entrees....there is one prevailing factor. And that is all The dishes tasted really "cheesy" - seems that they are generous with the cheese. Good and bad depending on a person's taste expectation. More cheese could mean more saltiness, also killing some of the unique flavours of the dish. Thats why i took a star away. Depending on what you order, sometimes less cheese is good to bring out other robust flavours. Service however was impeccable. Our server was very knowledgeable of all the dishes and answered my questions diligently. Also gave very good suggestions, causing me to discover their amazing lasagna. Since it was my wife's bday, they surprised us my comping the dessert that she picked. I still had an amazing time and would repeat for sure. Worthy of the Michelin attention. Cheers! Happy eating! read more

I was taken to Aguafarina restaurant for a birthday dinner by my wife and son on Sunday 18. Jan. 26 From the door welcome by Mgr. Mo with warm smile and firm handshake to attentive but not overbearing attention hostess Saska (with her trainee) it was a relaxing night with great food. Starting with a bit of Champaign, lovely bread a Balsamic vinegar, tasty Hors d'Oeuvres, lamb chops, pasta with mushroom filling and desserts proved why this is a Michelin approved restaurant. More then that it was a combination of friendly and attentive staff, restaurant's relaxed ambiance and quality quality food that creates good memory and want to come back. If that is not enough to impress you the sheer size of ground to ceiling wine wall certainly will. Great place, great people and great food. read more

I've been longing a visit to Acquafarina since they had their no phones policy and I finally got a chance to try it through dine out Vancouver 2024. However, I was so disappointed with the visit. The food was subpar. They burnt both our pizzas so we waited an extra hour for them to serve and they forgot our bread as well. The sablefish was served cold and the other foods were too salty. The only notable dish was the Wagyu carpaccio, which was by far the best carpaccio we've ever had! Aside from that, the service was friendly, but a tad direct. It threw me off at first, however once I understood, our server was phenomenal. I also enjoyed the unique decor of the restaurant. I do wish the food was better during our visit though. read more

Dinner at Acquafaria in downtown Vancouver won't be a disappointment!! We chose this Michelin recommend fine dining on our first night in Vancouver. Upon arrival, we were greeted by wonderful host and waiters. Services no doubt is top notch! We ordered lobster linguini, scallop risotto, seabass and duck breast. Out of the four, we love the lobster linguini the most. The first bite of the lobster meat blows our mind away, super fresh! The lobster meat is cook to prefect. The seabass is also their signature. No doubt Vancouver is seafood heaven! The risotto is also good, but compare to the two mains I mentioned above, it didn't stand out. The duck breast is a bit overcooked and not tender, which is a bit disappointing. Finally we finish off with Dolce Vita for the night!

a ended her bday celebration with this restaurant as her finale. ofc s and i being the bestest foodie friends ever was the bestest company she can hope for. a little mishap with the resos - read julia thought a made the reso but she actually didn't and vice versa. however we were slotted in as a walk-in. i want to address the elephant in the room - dress code. i can see in other reviews that they were strict abt it; there were no issues with it for me today and everyone dressed accordingly to the dress code listed online - business casual, no flip-flops or torn jeans. i did not feel any snobbiness from the staff. now that's out of the picture! MASSIVE SHOUTOUT TO THE BESTEST SERVER - NATE C. the c was on the receipt for the name so the c stays! he was attentive, funny, personable, knowledgeable and magical - yes he magically whipped a purse hook for s' purse because it was hanging precariously on the back of her chair and he was afraid that he might knock it off after walking by a few times. so please ask for him the next time you decide to check this place out - tell him double fist sent ya! nate guided us along as this was a our first time here. we started with cocktails - momo for me, pink flamingo for a, and a extra dirty vodka martini for s. i didn't taste s' martini cuz i'm not a big fan of martinis. my drink was very refreshing - strong notes of yuzu/citrus but no peach notes at all (momo DOES mean peaches in japanese last time i checked). a's pink flamingo was VERY citrusy with strong notes of grapefruit. after these drinks, we basically had nate do a mini wine pairing for our dishes - ALL the wines were great and the white port was def a surprise! he was able to tell us abt the wines, little anecdotes and ofc let s take pictures of the bottles so we can rmb what we drank. we went á la carte with the help of nate (yes his name will keep appearing) - we ordered 2 appys, 3 mains and 2 desserts; all recommended by nate except the one dessert (i made an executive decision for that one). we had the bread to begin - best. olive. oil. ever. the bread was also delish! for starters, we had the polpo alla griglia (grilled octopus) and the caprese con pesche (grilled peaches. nate was VERY accommodating with our photo taking thru out the whole dinner. the grilled octopus is a nate!fav - i loved the tomato marmalade and the octopus was grilled to perfection. the nori cracker added a nice crunch to the dish. the grilled peaches were juicy and sweet with a lovely charred taste. we had added extra burrata so that we weren't fighting for the cheese for a middle dish, we had the cannelloni with duck confit inside. there were three so nate helped served us each one. the duck confit was rich and savoury but not overpowering. in fact, for all the dishes, we found the flavours all blended together into a symphony of deliciousness in our mouths. the duck sauce on top of the cannelloni added a nice balance to the dish. (it is also at around this point we started to double/triple fist wines frm nate's personalize mini pairing) mains were the braciola di cinghiale (boar chops) and halibut scottato. the boar chops - another nate!fav - was astonishing. the fresh peppercorn on top helped to cut the density of the chop that was sliced in the kitchen for us. the crispy risotto helped round out the kick from the peppercorn, and the crunch was nice too. the seared halibut was flaky and rich. the fennel orange salad - especially the orange - added a freshness to the dish. magical nate to the rescue (again) when it comes to desserts. we had wanted something for the bday girl, and while we were at the washroom (we as in s and i, plus open washroom of sorts as the sinks are communal), we caught nate and told him abt the idea. he had recommended dolce vita and we went with that for the bday girl. i selfishly ordered the millefoglie (aka millefeuille - one of my fav desserts EVER) as the 2nd dessert. nate described dolce vita as a mini häagen-dazs bar, and it did indeed arrive that way. it was decadent hazelnut mousse with aerate chocolate pieces (read: aero) with marshmallow bits. nate was super awesome by treating this on the house for the bday girl - yes ofc there was a candle. the millefoglie was everything i want in a proper millefeuille. the cognac cream was light, and the layers of pastry were crisp. another big shoutout and thank you to nate!! i got a new nickname, some laughs and a hella lot more wine knowledge tonight ;) read more

I went to Acquafina and had one of the best meals of my life. I started with the mushroom risotto primo with shaved truffle and a foie gras accompaniment. The rice was cooked perfectly and the taste was incredible - and surprisingly not too rich. I finished with the linguini with lobster and caviar. The pasta is made in house. This dish was so absurdly good I almost started laughing - that's how good it was. Also, the restaurant is gorgeous - it had a bit of a throwback-to-the-50s look and vibe, and it was all done right. Finally, the service was terrific. I was seated only a few minutes late and was kindly offered any cocktail or aperitif of my choice. Go here. read more
