Acqua Di Mare is a quaint, intimate and cozy dining experience. We went on a date and absolutely loved it. It stands out with its unique atmosphere (very intimate and cozy, European style) and exceptional service. We were greeted by name upon arrival, and our server even offered a purse hook to hang my purse. The food was fresh and flavorful with the best presentation. The pasta wheel is a must! Overall, this is a spot I would go for a special date night. One of the best dining experiences I've had!

Acqua di Mare is an intimate Italian restaurant in downtown Chandler. It's tucked away from the main drag, and the largest reservation that can be made is for a party of 6. So, pick your favorite 5 people to join you for this dining experience! Many of the dishes are prepared/finished tableside. The flair and attention to every detail - from truffle shavings to flambé was not only entertaining but absolutely delicious! This was on my list of restaurants to try, and it did not disappoint. I can't believe it has taken me this long to review, as I have talked so highly of this place to so many people already. But now I'm sharing it with the Yelp community as well. Food, service, ambiance - 11 out of 10!!!

This place is awesome! Went on a Friday night with my wife and a friend. We will definitely be back. Showed up 5 mins before our 7pm reservation on Friday and they were busy. Had to wait til about 7:10ish to be sat. Food is worth the wait, so this wasn't a negative, just a heads up that this place is small and can be a wait. Started w complimentary house bread. It was solid, nothing crazy. Next was our apps: lobster bisque, pork belly, and burrata & prosciutto. Bisque was above average. Pork belly was tasty with an extra crisp top. Messy to cut but delish. The burrata & prosciutto were high quality and very delectable. We shared 3 entrees. Cacio E'Pepe was done tableside in the cheese wheel. A first for us and something we will probably get every time from now on. Sooo cheesy good. A special for the day was a seafood paella and that great. Full of 2 different size shrimp, mussels, and scallops. Super good seafood and rice. They said it was "for 2" and cost $75 but I coulda finished it on my own. Also had the Steak Nikola. Steak was cooked a perfect medium rare and the sauces were poured tableside for an awesome presentation. A cooked prosciutto rested atop the steak and it was great. Both the pasta and steak had fresh black truffles that completed the dishes perfectly. Service was excellent. Cool looking interior. A pricey spot but worth a return visit.

For an elegant, relaxing meal in Chandler, Acqua Di Mare is unmatched. Our group enjoyed a tender Tomahawk Pork Chop, rich lobster bisque, lamb chops, and Cacio E' Pepe. The Deconstructed Tiramisu for dessert was as stunning as it was delicious. Mary, our server, along with the staff, delivered outstanding service despite being busy. Mary's passion showed in her meal presentations, making the Cacio E' Pepe and Tiramisu unforgettable. The ambiance felt warm, like dining at a relative's home, inside or outside. Nicola, the owner, greeted every guest with genuine care, adding a personal touch. We came for a nice meal and left with a culinary experience we'll always remember.

Wow. All I can say is wow. One of the best dining experiences I've had in a while. Absolutely nothing disappointed. Walking into this cute quaint restaurant was like transporting back to Italy. I honestly love how small and intimate it is. Fresh bread, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar are served after being seated. Our waiter went over the entire menu with us (love this), and recommended some popular dishes. We ordered their fried squid and obviously it was delicious. For our entrees we ordered their truffle cacio e Pepe, carbonara, and their lobster dish. The cacio e Pepe were made in the Parmesan wheel then topped with freshly shaved truffle. The lobster dish was also prepared tableside. It feels so special to watch your food be made in front of you. We were celebrating a birthday and the owner Chef Nikola was kind enough to gift our table their delicious tiramisu and cannolis. I cannot say enough good things about this place!

What a wonderful experience. We went for my wife's birthday. Her pasta was prepared tableside in flaming Parmesan Cheese wheel. (Rigatoni Ala Vodka Con Salsiccia) with shaved truffle. So that was amazing. I had the Steak Nikola. Nikola is chef/owner. It's 9oz filet wrapped and cooked in Prosciutto cotto via en Papillote. When you start there, it just couldn't be anything but delicious, and it was. The dessert, which we almost skipped because they gifted us cannoli's. Our waiter Ben made Tiramisu at my table, and it was amazing. The place is pretty cozy. I didn't count, but maybe a dozen tables. There is outside seating as well. All in all, I typically love chef/owner restaurants when it feels like the chef is having fun. The food was as good as it was beautiful. Chef was out checking on guests as well. However, there was no need at our table because our waiter Benjamin was so attentive and helpful, but far enough away so my wife and I could have an uninterrupted meal and conversation. Great experience!

This quaint Italian restaurant is conveniently located right next to the parking garage off of Chicago in Downtown Chandler. Since this charming location has limited seating, I highly encourage a reservation and keep in mind they do not allow any guests under 12 years old. Since I knew I wanted to have a nice dining experience for my birthday, I booked over a month out and they can accommodate up to a table of 6 if you have a larger party. This evening, we ordered multiple starters and desserts to get a wide array of items to taste the menu which are outlined with pricing below. Starters: Porcini Risotto - $21 Caprese di Campania - $21 Fried Squid - $19 Mains: Caccio E Pepe - $42 Rack of Lamp - $49 Short Rib Pappardelle - $38 Lobster Ravioli - $47 Desserts: Crepe Balan Rouge - $17 Cannolis - $14 When seated, they will bring a tray of bread and will freshly cut basil on top of a plate of olive oil which adds a nice fragrance to the table. This was a great start to allow us to place a round of cocktails in for the table and make our selections. The bread was delicious and loved the fresh basil with it as well. All of the food was absolutely divine, and I tried all of the meatless items. My favorite starter was the Porcini Risotto and is one of the better mushroom risottos I've had in the valley as it is one of my most ordered items if it's available on a menu. Same goes for Caprese, which I thought their Caprese was good but the risotto was the winner for my favorite starter. As for entrees, I ordered the Caccio E Pepe which is prepared table side. This is not just a dish that is entertaining to watch be prepared out of a cheese wheel but absolutely decadent! Fresh cracked pepper, black truffle, delicious cheese, what isn't there to love? This has been a dish I've wanted to try for years, and so grateful to find this location serves. It easily surpassed my expectations and I'm actually looking to booking to return next month because I'd love to enjoy again! Saving the best for last - dessert! Currently, they have one dessert that is prepared table side so we had to order that in addition to the traditional cannoli. Crepe Balan Rouge is absolutely divine! I loved the balsamic glazed strawberries that added acidity to offset the sweetness of the gelato, and the beauty of watching this be prepared and presented on the table. What a way to end an exceptional meal! This location is a must if you enjoy fine dining and Italian food! And if I know you, don't forget to invite me to join as I'll gladly visit this location again.

Recommend: Yes. Perfect Date night spot. Food: Delicious! Love to come back again. Service: Excellent service. Treat you well. Acqua Di Mare is such a cute place. I heard this place has a cheese wheel so we had to come and check it out. They have several items on their menu where there is table side cooking (it was marked with an apostrophe on the menu). Food was amazing and the service here treats you well. Food: We got an appetizer of the octopus, the Acqua Di Mare (seafood) pasta, we also got the cheese wheel pasta (this pasta changes). Our friend also got the cheese wheel pasta and a short rib pasta. Everything was delicious. It was a fun experience and food taste great. I would love to come back again to try out more items on their menu! Service: service here is top notch. Most people don't do much for service but this place is very attention and just overall treats you well. I love the small touches of everything they do.
