[Trattoria Acqua Restaurant
Restaurant Review
Trattoria Acqua promises to whisk diners off to the Mediterranean, mirroring Italian seaside restaurants in cuisine, ambiance, and proximity to the water. The restaurant’s practically unrivalled location overlooks the crashing waves of the Pacific at La Jolla Cove; the dining room’s rustic charm and the courtyard’s lush greenery both offer a tranquil atmosphere with a hint of old world charm. Chef Damaso Lee’s menu of Italian coastal cuisine emphasizes fresh seafood, although also offers decadent pastas, meats, and game dishes. The award-winning cuisine is inventive, the ingredients fresh, and the selections decadent. An outstanding wine list adds perfection just when it seems there could be nothing more to add.

Title: | Management and/or ownership bad view on kids |
We dined at the restaurant in July and were greeted at the front door by a lovely hostess, she took us to a booth. Right after I, my husband and our 4 year old son had been seated I hear an older lady (I believe she was the owner) ask the hostess how she could have seated a party with a kid at the booth, she went on to tell her that she needs to move us to another table so our "kid" won't mess up their booth. I couldn't believe my ears!!! I expressed my disappointment to my husband but he calmed me down and urged me to just keep calm and just go along with it. We were not asked to move but after overhearing her say what she said, the meal was already ruined as we did not feel welcome because we have a child. A CHILD! Since when is it frowned upon to go out to dinner with the entire family??? The food was good but I will never return, there are far too many restaurant that are happy to accommodate everybody in the family (especially in this economy).
