Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Acqua E' Farina is a beloved Italian gem in the East Bay, known for its "fantastic food and impeccable service." Patrons frequently rave about dishes like calamari piccata and veal Parmesan. The charming decor, reminiscent of Italian street scenes, and attentive staff make it a favorite for both regular visits and special occasions.

    We love this restaurant. Typically I like to sit in the raised alcove with Italian painted scenes on the wall. However with my husband’s hearing deficit, there is a lot of noise…so we sit in the other areas. The food is great. I consistently choose the calamari piccata, love the capers! We had appetizers of beef carpaccio and fried calamari, along with a lovely wedge salad. Excellent food, great service at reasonable price! The only reason I gave it 4 stars on the food was my husband ordered the beef special, which the waiter said “thin strips of beef wrapped with prosciutto and mushrooms, instead it was ground beef, and more like a meatloaf..disappointing to my husband…

    Always wonderful! Staff is professional and friendly. Caesar salad is the best I’ve ever had. I always look forward to my favorite Calamari piccata dish when we go there.

    Great place for lunch but a tad bit loud. Found it hard to hear my friend as a table next to us was extremely loud. Food was very good, service four-star and prices so so…

    I've always had a good dining experience at this restaurant on several occasions and at different times of the day. Before the remodeling and covid, I enjoyed this place. The staff and the food really do speak for itself.
