The Experience

From Michelin Guide

The Possoni continue with their family tradition in this contemporary-style restaurant situated opposite the long-established Ma.Ri.Na. Here, their emphasis is on the quality of ingredients, which is always of paramount importance to chef Menoncin and owner Davide Possoni, who at the beginning of the evening will accompany you to your table and advise you on your choices from the menu. Fish and seafood take centre stage here, showcased in simple, traditional dishes and more complex and creative recipes alike. The menu always features a few raw options, such as the trio of shellfish (scampi, red prawns and what must surely be the largest shrimps you’ve even seen), each of which is served with its own creative and delicate dressing. The wine list includes a number of labels from the Champagne region, plus numerous wines available by the glass. An attractive outdoor space completes the picture.

Signature Ingredients

  • Pescato del giorno (Daily catch): The centerpiece of Acqua Restaurant's kitchen, the daily catch embodies the restaurant's philosophy of letting the raw materials shine. Each day a carefully selected assortment of fish and seafood is chosen, with a strong emphasis on Mediterranean provenance. This ingredient is presented and prepared in a way that respects its natural flavors and textures, serving as the anchor for the menu and enabling the chef to create seasonal, tasting-forward dishes. The pescato del giorno is complemented by the restaurant's techniques and occasional wine pairings that elevate the seafood experience.
  • Rare Mediterranean seafood specialties: Alongside the daily catch, Acqua features rare, high-quality seafood exotics sourced from the broader Mediterranean and beyond. These exceptional specimens, valued for their superior texture and depth of flavor, are used as premium accents to the daily offerings, enabling innovative preparations and refined, nuanced pairings that underscore the restaurant's commitment to extraordinary seafood ingredients.
