   Aqua di Dea was one of our favorite restaurants when we travel to Cleveland, we enjoyed coming to eat such amazing food. Our latest experience was subpar - dinners were cold (gnocchi) and the sauce tasted burned. They changed the bread to rosemary olive rolls- bring back the bread from Mediterra. They changed the recipes and menu. The food was disappointing especially when you are paying that much money to eat.

   Milad the bartender was amazing. He gave great recommendations on food and drinks and gave immaculate service. The shrimp appetizer could be much better, I’d advise not getting it

   We had a fantastic experience at Acqua Di Dea! The ambiance was modern and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our night. We opted for the Valentine’s Day tasting menu, and every course was artfully presented and absolutely delicious. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining each dish in detail and making spot-on wine recommendations. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable dining experience—we can’t wait to return!

   We waited for nearly 20 minutes and a host never even came over to seat us. This was the same for at least 10 other parties who all had reservations. Extremely inappropriate.

   Went on Valentines Day. Was insane. Way overbooked. Food took forever, the steak was wrong twice, the $95 bone in one, the pasta was overcooked, and overall an unpleasant experience and hit to the wallet

   We had a horrible experience, as did so many others that evening. We were sat 30 minutes after our reservation time, and then waited over an hour at our table without ever even receiving a menu. Servers would walk right by and yell at their help that waters weren’t filled, menus delivered, etc. and yet, they’d do absolutely nothing about it. It was wild. Entrees around our table were being delivered before appetizers. No one was receiving the correct order - it was chaos and an absolute embarrassment of an evening. I wouldn’t recommend someone to go here even if they were hoping to have the worst night of their life - I am certain the team would have found a way to mess that up too. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR $$$ CONSIDERING THIS PLACE. ZERO STARS.

   Had a gift card that they would not honour. Said it only worked at Luca West. The card clearly says Luca restaurants. Horrible way to run a business. Will not come back and will make it a point to address this at my next City Council meeting on businesses that do not honour their gift cards I am sure Cleveland .com will appreciate the information.

   Amy was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and happily answered all of our questions.  we ended up ordering a few of her recommendations. They were delicious.  The food was excellent and the service was amazing.  we will definitely be back again.

    We had a reservation for 4 people. They put us at a large table set for 6- as if they didn’t even look at the reservation. We ordered 2 steaks- both overcooked and 2 fish entrees- one was overcooked. We waited a long time for service so much so that we ordered our meal with our drinks because we had a show to catch which I noted in the reservation. The prices were high for the portions (side dish of carrots was not enough to share). Very disappointed, not sure I’d go back with the other restaurant options nearby.
