Our award winning Jola Eat Global Restaurant Group opened a third location in 2021. Since then, it has become a downtown hotspot with a trendy approach to the modern fine dining experience. Offering a unique combination of modern and classic coastal aesthetic in a sleek and rustic warehouse setting.

Located in Cleveland's Historic Warehouse District in the heart of Downtown, Acqua Di Dea has an innovative Italian menu with remarkably fresh seafood, unique pasta dishes, extraordinary steaks and much more.

We are excited to announce some significant changes within our restaurant family.
Acqua di Luca located at 500 W. St. Clair Avenue will be renamed Acqua di Dea.
​
These changes reflect our commitment to offering fresh and elevated dining. Acqua Di Dea will continue operations and ownership by Lola Jacaj.

    Booked this restaurant based on the menu you provide open table. They changed the menu this week so the dishes I was interested in are no longer on the menu. The food was average. The service was not attentive. Served my drink in a broken glass and then came and took it back. The manager was more interested in two woman at the bar than the rest of the restaurant.

    With flavorful and aromatic. The wine selection was incredible. I order an Argentinian Malbec and it was very grapey and delicious. The theater mission was light but also sweet just at the right level. Our server Monica was incredible. I will go back anytime

    Our server was great. Food was well prepared and plated. Noise level at the bar was too loud for our liking. Several times we couldn’t hear each other. Maybe we should’ve been seated further away.

    I’m thrilled that aqui de Dea is open late on Saturdays so we can come after the theatre. Our Meal’s were awesome so much so we ordered another serving of the escarole to take home with us. I loved how they were so accommodating to us, even as the kitchen was getting ready to close. Really this place is such a gem for the Cleveland late night scene. We’ll be back for sure!

    The tuna app was good. The crab cakes had a lot of breading. The bone-in filet steak was tough and fatty. Not a prime cut. I will go somewhere else for a $300 meal. Not worth it.
