    It’s a beautiful place. Great parking in the back. It just got a little strange after my friend unfortunately didn’t like the cheese wheel dish. They did try and salvage the dish but my friend didn’t like it at all. They did take it off the bill. BUT Service kinda went downhill from there the waiter just wanted us to leave after it seemed didn’t ask us for anymore drinks or dessert.

    They can accommodate large groups for any event, and there is plenty of free parking next to it.

    From the wine, the fresh pastas and sauces to dessert delicious! We had the Carbonara, Fettuccini Alfredo and Bolognese, plates cleaned by the end. The seabass was succulent and risotto good but the pastas was where it's at for us...Nice size portions and the tiramisu authentically creamy with perfected flavors. The service was welcoming, expedient, warm and entertaining. Our waiter sung a couple Italian operetic bars for the room making our time at Acqua e Farina momentous. Happy to have a new dinner spot in downtown Chula Vista.

    We ordered the gnocchi (very good), the salmon puttanesca (very good), and the chicken saltimbocca, which was VERY salty and cheesy. The meal was good overall. However, we were seated by glass doors that were opened onto the patio, and it was a cold night. (The heaters were on out on the patio.) While they tried to close the doors to keep the draft out, the constant back and forth of the wait staff left us very uncomfortable. There was never an offer to reseat us, so overall, while the meal was not bad, it was not the enjoyable dining experience we'd hoped for.
