We had a great evening at Aquafarina. The service was excellent. We arrived early so some ordered off the Happy Hour menu and some from the regular menu. The steak on the Happy Hour menu got rave reviews. The Cacio e Pepe pasta was good, but not the best I’ve had in the city. One person at our table is a celiac and had the Cacio e Pepe with gluten free pasta and said the GF pasta used was not good. The cocktails were excellent - some innovative offerings and well executed. I would definitely go again.

We had an amazing dinner before the Tina show. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful (addressing gluten free options), and very nice. I think his name was David??? This was our first visit, but we will be back.

Went with friends here for the first time. We were all impressed! Great ambiance, we were seated upstairs. They had live violin music featuring a lot of Chappell Roan- felt like we were in Bridgerton. Delicious food- started with the Burrata & Rosso pizza and the we all had different pastas- the mushroom pasta, bolognese, and the cacio e pepe. Everything was made in-house and was excellent. The service was also fantastic. Good recommendations from the friendly servers. Wish we had time for dessert, as they sounded wonderful, but we’ll have to try those next time. Highly recommend for a nice evening downtown.

Food, location, and service were all excellent. Great happy hour deals, interesting and also classic menu. Everything we had was superb, and all of the staff we interacted with are top notch. One side is all tall windows which is lovely with the natural light and stunning view of the library. The recorded music was uncomfortably loud, even after we requested it be dialed back a tad. Surprise live violonist (started at 6:30pm Saturday) was lovely.
