What a beautiful Italian restaurant. Loved the staff, the patio, hand made pasta and amazing service. This restaurant defines the true essence of pride of ownership, exceptional food. Details matter in anything a business offers to consumers. It’s those little details that impress the customers even more. I especially loved the pizza making area. It looks so unique. And the details right under the bar top.

As a Michelin recommended restaurant I expected more! We were there for a birthday and started off with a few cocktails at the bar.Then later we moved on over to the dining room. We started off with a Lambrusco then ordered four appetizers: burrata, squid, caesar salad and the carpaccio. The appetizers were mediocre and the burrata was too empowered by the red cabbage but the carpaccio was delightful.Our Mains we shared a pasta of the day (linguine vongole) porterhouse, lamb rack risotto, assorted veggies, truffle fries and the burrata pizza. Start with the best, the steak was made to perfection, a lighter season to my palette but it was wonderfully made and tender. The lamb rack was salty and the pasta was cold and had shell bits. The pizza was very wet and soggy.Our server was probably a

We had a truly wonderful afternoon at Acquafarina. The appetizers were already outstanding — especially the oysters and the carpaccio, which were both absolutely delicious and perfectly prepared.The real highlight, however, was the truffle pizza. Honestly, it was the best pizza we have ever had! Authentic Neapolitan style with perfectly airy dough, high-quality ingredients, and incredible flavor.We would also like to especially mention our server Marcos, who was extremely attentive, friendly, and took great care of us throughout the entire visit. He made us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived.Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we will definitely be coming back on our next trip to Vancouver!

A Standout Dining Experience, Thanks to KaylaOur evening at Acquafarina was exceptional from start to finish, and Kayla was a huge part of what made it unforgettable. She was warm, confident, and incredibly knowledgeable — guiding us through the menu with genuine enthusiasm. She shared her favourite dishes, suggested thoughtful add-ons and accompaniments, and helped our group build a perfectly curated meal.We ordered a wide range of dishes — gnocchi, lobster linguini, caviar served in a beautiful high-tea style presentation, tenderloin, plates of oysters, wagyu, and several cocktails. Every single item was A-plus. The food and wine menu were absolutely spot-on, and our entire party of seven was blown away.Kayla’s hospitality was the best I’ve experienced in a restaurant in a long time. She

The food and drinks were delicious and overall priced very well for the value I thought. The space and vibe inside was a touch disappointing. While aesthetically pleasing... the cushions are completely worn away and have no padding left so you fully sink and the table becomes chin height... Not a huge issue if you're really tall but an odd thing to experience at a nicer restaurant. The service was good, though had some inattentive gaps at times. I would still come back, really interested in trying the caviar and smash burger menu- so fun!

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

This is the best restaurant in Vancouver in everyway. The atmosphere is a 5, the service 5, the food 5, the food quality 5, the food presentation 5 and the food complexity and taste 5. Its not cheap but if you are a foodie and expect the best and are used to the best you want to go there. Ive eaten at restaurants around the world and this place will meet your expectations. I will go back for special occasions, hands down.
