"Third time dining at Acqua and it never disappoints. The foood consistency amazing, the service warm and attentive, and the chef always makes you feel welcome. Whether I’m celebrating something special or just treating myself solo, it’s always a pleasure to be here. Truly one of those places that feels just right for any occasion"

"Had a wonderful time at Acqua. Excellent and attentive service, beautiful place with the right amount of background music.
Every dish was well prepared but the standouts would be the rib eye (surprisingly), red mullet and wild boar truffle pasta. The lobster pasta was very authentic and my wife and friends loved it though personally I would have preferred a stronger taste and more lobster. 😁
With a bottle of wine, it came up to 7,500 baht per couple."
