Acquerello - Reviews

My experience at this restaurant was truly exceptional. Every single bite of food was scrumptious. We opted for the 4-course menu and left feeling completely full. The service was phenomenal, exceeding all expectations. The desserts were a highlight, and the surprise of additional desserts at the end was a delightful touch. Celebrating our anniversary, the restaurant added special touches like a custom greeting card, an extra dessert for our celebration, and a box of biscotti to take home. These thoughtful gestures truly set it apart from other restaurants with good food. My only minor point was that the 4-course menu felt shorter than expected, but overall, it was a great experience with phenomenal service. A bonus is the parking garage right across the street.

I had an amazing dinner at Acquerello! The food was absolutely delicious, and the young lady who served us was so kind and attentive, making the whole experience feel extra special. The atmosphere was elegant but still warm and relaxed, which made the night even better. Definitely a spot I’d love to come back to!

My experience at the restaurant was a true delight! I opted for the tasting menu, and it was pure bliss. The menu featured caviar, cod, and truffle pasta, followed by a selection of Italian cheeses. Each dish was incredibly refined. My compliments to the chef, Suzette. The staff was very professional. Bravo to the entire team, including Giancarlo!

My experience at this restaurant was truly incredible, encompassing the food, service, and atmosphere. I opted for the standard tasting menu, while my friends enjoyed the vegetarian menu. I can confidently say this is the best Michelin star restaurant in SF for taking vegetarian guests, as they offered such inventive courses and even distinct desserts. I had the opportunity to try many dishes from both menus. Standout dishes from the regular tasting menu included the passion fruit lobster, black cod, quail, and the pastas. The bread service was a highlight, as I enjoyed five slices, and the dessert cart was a delightful addition after the excellent sweets already on the menu.

Hands down one of the best fine dining experiences all around. Every dish is not only tasty with balanced/harmonized flavors, but also creative in presentation. I especially enjoyed the starter (beef carpaccio) and risotto. The duck breast is so tender and the halibut melts in your mouth like a marshmallow. Oh, we also got the caviar supplement (not salty at all because of the beets at the bottom) and it’s totally worth every penny! It’s one of the few fine dining restaurants that I would come back despite the hefty price.

My experience at this Michelin star restaurant was one of the finest I've had in town. The service was top-notch, and the food presentation was impeccable! While the food is on the pricier side, it was totally worth it for the overall experience and the excellent service.

I opted for the 4-course experience and here are my takeaways: Firstly, I was initially worried about portion sizes, but my concerns were unfounded. The portions were bigger than expected, and they even included extras, so I definitely didn't need to grab fast food afterward. This experience is a great way to sample Michelin-level dining without committing to the full, lengthy tasting menu. The entire experience lasted about 3 hours. The service was exceptional, rated 10/10, and the presentation was equally impressive at 10/10. The wine pairing received a strong 9/10. However, the food itself was rated 7/10. Overall, it was a great experience and worth the steep price. If your primary goal is simply to enjoy outstanding food, there are better and more affordable options in the neighborhood, often at half the price. You are paying for the full experience, which includes the atmosphere, service, and presentation.

My experience at this restaurant was absolutely wonderful. We opted for the 4-course menu and were delighted with every dish. The vegetarian menu was just as impressive as the non-vegetarian options. The meal began with three small appetizers that perfectly set the tone for the evening. The ambiance was on point, and everything felt incredibly well-orchestrated. Be prepared to spend a couple of hours here to fully enjoy all the courses and the added touches at the beginning and end.

My experience at this restaurant for a late-night champagne tasting was largely excellent, particularly in terms of service and ambiance. The personalized touches, such as a letter and a birthday dessert, truly enhanced the overall experience. However, some of the small appetizers seemed to have been sitting out for a while, tasting like end-of-night leftovers with a slight fishy or stale quality. On a positive note, the caviar and champagne were exquisite, and the service was impeccable.

My experience at this restaurant was incredible, featuring a 7-course Italian tasting menu. The wine was excellent, and the service was impeccable. We celebrated my mother-in-law's 60th birthday here, and they treated us so well, even providing a cake. They can also accommodate a vegetarian tasting menu.
