Boris was excellent server. We loved the homemade pasta. Chicken parmigiana was especially delicious. Nice extra touch of compound butter selection with fresh bread before meals were served. Ambience is calm and relaxing. Definitely recommend!

Great meal all around. Love the atmosphere and decor. I enjoyed the beef carpaccio do not skip over it! I also got the shrimp scampi. You wanted to eat it slowly to truly treasure every bite. Our waiter Borris was knowledgeable about the menu and had great recommendations!

Great food. Server was very helpful with explaining menu. The restaurant is way too noisy. We were unable to have a good conversation at our table. Tables are also very close together.

I came here with my husband to celebrate Valentine's Day. We were immediately sat and greeted by our waitress. Per our waitress suggestion I tried the cocktail Adriatic Kiss and it was so delicious! So delicious I had to have two. For our appetizer we had their Tortina di Granchio, which is a crab cake and oh my goodness!! This was the best crab cake I have ever had. Following our appetizer was the Caesar Salad which was also really good for just being a salad. For my main course I had the Parmigiano crusted Icelandic cod which was covered in Prosecco sauce, and accompanied by mashed potatoes and asparagus. This meal was so delicious and flavorful, and the asparagus were cooked to perfection. My husband had the Sea Bass which I did not try, but he said he enjoyed it very much. We shared the Affogato which was the perfect sweet ending to an amazing dinner. The service we had on this particular night was a 10/10 on its own. Our waitress Rebecca took really good care of us and made sure we had an enjoyable time. This place is perfect for date night, or even family dinner. The service is one of the best I have had, and you will not be disappointed eating here.

My husband & I came for a date night when we found ourselves kid free for the evening. We had a wonderful time & our sever Jackson was so down to earth & fantastic!!!! They were concerned about my not finishing our meal but it was purely because we were too stuffed to finish. All of the recommendations were fabulous, you can't go wrong.

We had another great evening at Acquario last night. This is probably our 10th visit since they opened. They have been working on the sound inside, and even though it was PACKED we could easily converse. The whole place looks great and has a nice buzz at dinnertime. We usually sit at the bar and talk with Amanda who makes fantastic drinks, but last night we had dinner at a table with friends. Our waiter was great - he picked up the casual vibe at our table and gave us just as much attention as we needed. The red pepper soup was excellent as was the risotto with scallops. The chocolate mousse dessert was delicious and perfect for us to split. My wife and travel to New York often, and it's nice to find a place right here in Keller/Southlake/Westlake that serves authentic Italian food along with a great wine list and Amanda's carefully crafted cocktails. Speaking of wine, if you are looking for a good bottle, then ask Nino for some ideas. He has carefully put together his list. If you are looking for dinner at the bar, date night, or a small gathering then give Acquario a try.

For my 100th review, I have a gem of a restaurant to recommend: Acquario Italian Seafood. It offers fine chef-crafted Italian Seafood with impeccable attention to every detail, including your enjoyment. It's rare to find a restaurant whose employees focus as much on the customer's dining experience as on the quality, flavor and presentation of each meal. That focus starts with the partnership of Nino Rata and Executive Chef Fredi Plaku. On our visit, David was our server. His recommendations were exceptional, and our wine pairing was perfectly complementary. We were in excellent hands. For an appetizer, we ordered the Tortina Di Granchio. It's a generous serving of jumbo lump crab, bell peppers, celery onions, avocado guacamole, drizzling with a spicy aioli. We recommend this appetizer. For an entrée, we ordered the Dover Sole on the waiter's recommendation. That was certainly an exceptional choice. This fish is a very high-quality flat fish, like a flounder, but thicker and firmer. If you've never tried Dover Sole, treat yourself when you get a chance. It's very good! I describe it as a very refined-textured white flesh fish that is firm and flaky. It's served under a lemon reduction sauce that compliments the fish without overpowering it. Our second entrée was scallops over a creamy pea risotto. The scallops were large and plump, perfectly seared. Though the peas weren't as well received as, say, asparagus would have been, we still enjoyed the dish. For dessert, we were treated to a Torta Della Nonna. This is a beautiful classic Italian tart with a luscious citrus pastry cream filling. It's really light and delicious. The dining area is a single, large room with a tall ceiling and large windows. Though not very intimate, the tables are well-spaced, making the room pleasantly quiet. Large groups can easily be accommodated. If you are looking for a very nice date night restaurant, this is your place. Be aware that this is a neighborhood favorite, so make a reservation. I recommend Acquario Italian Seafood for the delicious food and the dining experience.
