This was our third time eating at Aqua Di Mare. The first two times, we were blown away by the food…read moreand the atmosphere. This time we went to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were very disappointed in our experience. My husband was excited about having the Osso Bucco and I was planning to have Branzino, but we were quickly informed that they were out of both! So then the server talked us into the Dover Sole, which we then ordered. A few minutes later, the manager came to inform us they were out of the Dover Sole so we would need to pick another entree . We also ordered bottle of wine and then informed they were out of that kind of wine. So I ordered the Chilean Seabass and my husband ordered risotto. My husband did enjoy his risotto. The Seabass was very disappointing. It was tough. I had to cut it with a knife. It was very bland! Then we decided to order dessert and we were immediately told they were out of the cannolis ,my husband's favorite. We did order the crêpes which were delicious and prepared at the table. We were quite disappointed in our experience here tonight. Very sad because we really enjoyed this restaurant and we're excited about having a fine dining option in downtown Chandler.

Acqua Di Mare is a must try! Cute Italian restaurant with amazing food. Manager Gabe was attentive,…read moreChef 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.

The staff was wonderful from beginning to end, and we especially want to recognize Katia. She was incredible throughout the planning process, helped relieve so much of our stress, and made sure everything came together flawlessly. She did an amazing job decorating, and everything was even more beautiful than we imagined. The food was absolutely delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing everything tasted, which is something people are still talking about. Staff even accommodated our son (who is 4) and made a small kids burger with fries. We are so grateful to the entire Hidden House team for making our wedding day so special and memorable. If you're looking for a gorgeous venue with an incredible staff, beautiful décor, and amazing food, we wholeheartedly recommend Hidden House. Thank you for giving us the wedding of our dreams! We will be back every year to celebrate

Some friends of ours were kind enough to send us a gift card to celebrate a special occasion. I had…read morebeen here once before but it had been a while. The evening in ambiance was very nice, perfect for a romantic date. There's a second building between the front and the courtyard that's very open and inviting. We shared the pimento cheese dip with chicharrones and the sauce was so good we wrote down the description to try to make it ourselves later. I had the King salmon and my partner had the crab linguine. The crab was delectable, highly recommend. The salmon was good but a little on the dry side. For dessert we were too full to have anything rich so we went with the banana cream tart. Definitely a good option to try! It was delicious but light enough to eat after a big dinner.

Instead, we were offered a table in the back outside while everyone else was seated inside. As a Black family, the experience left us feeling unwelcome. I can't say why we were treated this way, but the interaction was extremely disappointing, we chose to dine elsewhere. Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different. The service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the Ashley Cook, General Manager and the owner. They made us feel genuinely welcome. I appreciate that they took our feedback seriously and worked to make things right. Our server Tyler was exceptional.

Music is always on pointe and I would never change the look or ambiance of the place either. My last trip here though I had to ask about why the menu had stopped changing as often since we were one of two parties there in the middle of happy hour and there was a large framed picture of a bartender with a bunch of signed notes on the bottom of it beside me at the bar. It turns out that one of the oldest curators and bartenders of the bar and restaurant had passed from a drunk driving incident and I had not known at all! Gosh I was so disappointed in myself that I had ever complained about not having a new menu to try after that...but at the same time it was amazing to hear so many great anecdotes and to learn so much more about him and the history of the bar itself while dining this time. I had a lot of fun times at this bar - including remembering the first time I met that bartender and sharing that memory with the staff that told me their story. They also shared that they would be coming out with a new menu very soon and some of the new items and ideas that would be rolling out so I am also very excited to go back! New food menu tomorrow too?! What?! I was almost tempted to back today to get more of their amazing dishes from the main menu!! Thank you Cat for the amazing hospitality! I learned so much about Gaea in one afternoon too :D Love it. To update about the food I tried but some of you may not get to try since they're changing it up :P *Tiger Shrimp - DIVINE - JUICY ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH CURRY THAT MAKES YOUR ENTIRE MOUTH WATER JUST THINKING ABOUT IT ONCE ITS EVER TOUCHED YOUR TONGUE - the prawns are BIGGER THAN YOUR MIDDLE FINGER *Thai Salad - zesty spicy, VERY filling and made in lettuce cups, so very much not your typical salad but very tasty *steak skewers - much more like the juiciest steak I've literally ever had on a skewer - LITERALLY...but not because it's fat, just because they somehow made this steak completely juicified - don't ask me how - ask Cat *Mole Chicken Skewers - My favorite...you should just try it.

Located in the heart of Downtown Chandler is Crust Simply Italian. Due to location, parking can be…read morea challenge but thankfully a July Saturday around 12:30pm didn't prove to be that large of a challenge to locate. When we entered, we were advised to be seated wherever we liked with menus on a table to grab. Our server was over pretty quickly, and appreciated him offering an appetizer and entree suggestion. What We Ordered: - Cucumber Elderflower Spritz: I've been on a spritz kick since having one at the beginning of the year at Disney World. The perfect refreshing drink for a humid day after rain in July (2" in Apache Junction). Loved the cucumber and elderflower combination, and would definitely order again! - Shrimp Medina: The server recommended, and our favorite of the meal. The scampi butter with the heat of the red chili flakes was perfect. I'd honestly look to see if there is a pasta dish like this next time as that sounds like perfection. - La La Vodka: My friend ordered this, and said it was pretty good. She remarked how large it was and wish for a lunch portion that you could order half, but thankfully, we were heading back to her house after to be able to drop off leftovers. - Pasta Picante: This was recommended, but I wasn't all that fond of it. It was not really spicy, and I didn't like the sausage in the dish. It could have just been my preferences, but my friend ended up taking as leftovers her kids would enjoy. Overall, this place had both comfortable seating and comfort food. Italian is one of my favorite things to dine, and get that dopamine fix from pasta. I'll definitely return and explore another entree more suited to my preferences.

Waiter took our orders and food came in on timely manner. Happy hour menu is not the greatest & has some limited options, cocktails & wine glasses will still ring you $10 instead of the normal $12+ so not crazy savings. Onto the food: Our calamari was great The bread rolls had so much oil on them the last roll was almost inedible. You would squeeze it and oil/butter would ooze out like crazy. Our pizza was good but the crust was very toasty, it would snap in half if we tried to bend it just a little to take a bite, maybe it was a one off for the crust being a bit burnt but just keep that in mind. Our limoncello drinks were definitely the star of the night; refreshing, light and not too sweet!

I built my own pasta with uncle Arthur's sausage, mushroom truffle and the wide noodles. It was really good and a good serving size. I saw another table order the 5 foot long stada board and it looked really good, I'll have to try that next time. I skipped desserts but will have to try that next time as well. The decor was nice, service was prompt. Our server was attentive and always refilled waters when they were low. Sometimes parking out front can be a little hard but there's more parking in the back.

I chose my own dish and did Tony's steak meatballs with truffle mushroom sauce and strozzapreti pasta. The meatballs were 10/10, so yummy! It all was so good. The service was great and prompt despite our large group. They were even able to split the checks up for us. I went to the other side of the restaurant where they have gelato and other desserts.

I had a glass of the cabernet on HH ($10.50 for a 9 oz. pour) and thought it was very nice. We also had garlic knots, which were just ok for me. I like them softer and more buttery. I expected more tomatoes and stuff in the Diavolo Shrimp but the shrimp and broth went nicely with the crusty bread. I also got Margherita pizza, which wasn't my favorite but this is very much personal preference and I am very picky about pizza. Too much cheese and not the right cheese. But a nice amount of basil! My friends had the chicken parm and the short rib pasta and enjoyed them. They had a chocolate mousse as a dessert special which was tempting but alas I had over ordered already. Our server was attentive and friendly. All in all a nice neighborhood option with a varied menu for different preferences.

It was such fun to see this place booming on a Saturday night! We were greeted and sat at a nice 2 top booth. Peyton was so awesome.

We already had a big lunch that day so we settled in the baked spaghetti and a meatball sub. Oh my.. everything so delicious! We are still in town and will return for lunch on our way back home.
