Of course is not a cheap restaurant, but anyway the quality of food, the quality of wine and the service are really high level. I live in Phuket, so for expat the price are very high, but people in holiday can enjoy a really Italian taste and I'm sure that they will spend less than Europe.

This restaurant is fantastic! We loved the food here so much that we went back for a second time. We particularly loved the dessert with chocolate mousse and Gorgonzola it was delicious, such an unusual combination but the ingredients complimented each other so well. Although this is not the cheapest restaurant it is well worth it. The pizza's are delicious... More

Read the reviews – do not eat here. When a restaurant needs to advertise extensively rather than rely on personal recommendations you know there’s something wrong. Things started badly with us both noticing sneering looks from the hostess who distastefully looked my wife over, how strange we thought – maybe she was trying to display her superiority or self-importance. The... More

Was expecting great things from Acqua after other reviews etc. Felt very let down, service was the worst I have ever experienced in Thailand- started with a surly welcome from the hostess and hit a crescendo when we were asked to leave our table after less than an hour even though we hadn't finished. They wanted us to move to... More

I have just eaten at the restaurant and I had a Nice meal but I had my expectations high. I must admit that I wasnt satisfied the food tasted ok but it was far from a gourmet experience. The service / design of the restaurant was awesome - very good indeed.

We've been welcomed in from Hostess Michela, she was so kind to arranged a table in front of the open kitchen and she made... More

Make no mistake, this is one of Phuket's 5 most expensive restaurants. But other than the hotel eateries around, this is owner/chef operated and he takes his job seriously. Modern mediterranean cuisine, perfect presentation and fresh ingredients only. They also own a deli called Boconchino and import their own food from Italy, which helps. Drawback is the arrogant European waitress... More

You can review a meal after one visit, but it takes a few visits to really review a restaurant. We visited Acqua in Feb 2013 after a hiatus of almost a year and it was good to experience the same ambiance, service and quality as before. When the owner works in his own kitchen one expects high quality and it... More
