Description:
Nestled on tiled terraces close enough to catch ocean breezes, this Northern Italian spot has a relaxed, Tuscan ambience. A mixed crowd of suits, couples, and families gather to enjoy expertly prepared seasonal dishes; every table starts with bread served with an indescribably pungent Mediterranean spread. Acqua's pastas (all available as appetizers or main courses) are luscious -- rich, heady flavor combinations like orecchiette with spicy shrimp, ham, broccoli, white beans, and wine, or lobster ravioli with tomato-and-chive beurre blanc. Other specialties include osso buco alla pugliese (veal shank braised with tomatoes, olives, capers, and garlic, and served over pappardelle pasta) and quaglie a beccafico (roasted quail with Italian bacon, spinach, raisins, and pine nuts).
