Acqua Di' Mare

We experienced Acqua Di' Mare on a whim. Our 19th anniversary and we are always looking for new places to dine. Read the reviews, looked over the website, thought... why not? Let me tell you why you should. The food is exquisite. Off the charts flavor, and the presentation is to die for. We took no pictures - too engrossed in the experience. Started with the octopus and crab cake appetizers - crazy good. So light, so satisfying we knew the main course would be epic. I had a table unveiling of what is now the best filet steak I have ever had. Dressed and finished in front of me and a world of flavor within. My wife had a scrumptious rack of lamb and my MIL loved their signature dish, a seafood pasta (plenty of gluten free options, btw!). We finished with a shared tiramisu which was deconstructed in form and prepared at our table. The staff are some of the kindest, most passionate people who truly care about and appreciate every customer that graces their door. Owner/chef Nikola even came around a few times to check on us with a genuine concern that we enjoyed our entire dining experience. The rest of the staff was superb and we wanted for nothing the entire evening. All of this is enhanced by an intimate, comfortable decor folded into an otherwise busy downtown Chandler scene. We were transported to another time, another place when visiting Acqua Di' Mare. Go once, and you'll be hooked. We are, and we look forward to our next visit soon.

Must try! 1st time here and most definitely plan on coming back! The gluten free penne pasta with short-rib was mouth watering! The 9oz steak was delicious and extremely tasty! Mojito and Moscow Mule were also made perfectly! I love the atmosphere and the presentation of the food plates in front of you on certain orders! I also love that it’s mostly a setting for adults and kids 12yrs and older! Great for a date night or any good time with amazing food! Thanks Nikola and Gustavo! Excellent service and food!
