“I took my husband to Acqua Al 2 for his birthday, April 2008, based on the review in the Dining out SD magazine. We have traveled in Italy and especially in Florence so we were excited about the fact that this restaurant had a location in Florence. Well our experience was not what we expected. We were seated so close to a party of 4 that their conversation dominated ours. I can tell you all about their last ski vacation. We ordered the pasta special, fettucine in a white wine saffron sauce with mussels, clams, shrimp and calamari. It came to the table lukewarm. We asked that our plates be returned. The waitstaff was gracious but the food returned no hotter than before. The portion was moderate with just a sprinkling of seafood. I wouldn't have minded if I had paid $14 or $15 for this dish, but it was priced at $30. So we had mediocore pasta and a bottle of wine for $106. Not a good value and a far cry from any meal we have had in Florence, Italy. This meal will be memorable but not in a positive way. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.”
