" Visiting Acquolina was a delightful experience! The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, perfect for a cozy dinner. We ordered a variety of dishes to share, and the homemade pasta was extraordinary; truly a treat for the taste buds. The bruschetta was bursting with flavor, and the live pasta preparation was an impressive touch. The service was friendly but a bit slow at times. Overall, a highly recommended spot if you're looking for authentic Italian in San Francisco! " (*Curated Review*)

" I just cannot rave enough about Acquolina! The experience I had was nothing short of spectacular. All of the dishes we tried were bursting with flavor, particularly the rigatoni, which was simply the best I've ever had! Each bite offered a symphony of tastes that danced on my palate. Plus, the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure our needs were met promptly. The atmosphere was alive, fostering a joyful dining vibe! If you appreciate Italian cuisine, you must try this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" Acquolina has become my new go-to for Italian food! I walked in just as the dinner rush started, and I was seated promptly. The atmosphere is a perfect blend of cozy and lively—ideal for dining. I tried their special pasta dish with the cheese wheel—it was delectable! The service was generally quick, only a minor delay when it got busier. I recommend giving it a shot! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dining here was delightful! I particularly enjoyed the spaghetti Cacio e Pepe that was freshly prepared at our table. The meal was both delicious and mesmerizing to watch! The service was friendly, but during peak hours, the wait times stretched a bit longer. Nevertheless, I’ll certainly revisit for the amazing atmosphere and cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to Acquolina for a lunchtime treat, and the bruschetta was incredible! On the other hand, my main dish was mediocre. I felt the flavors were rather muted. The atmosphere didn’t really help; it was a bit too loud for a comfortable dining experience. Nevertheless, the friendly staff made it a bit better. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic place for Italian cuisine! The fresh ingredients used were evident in each dish. I loved the calamari appetizer and the wood-fired pizza. The staff was friendly and attentive, which made for an enjoyable dining experience. I’m definitely coming back and have recommended it to friends already! " (*Curated Review*)

" Based on my experience, this place does not live up to its hype. The cacio e pepe presentation was impressive but lacked the robust flavor I was expecting. My server seemed overwhelmed and didn’t provide the level of service I hoped for. While the atmosphere was nice, I think there are better Italian joints in Little Italy with more authentic flavors. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)
