Located in the historic district of South Street Seaport, on the corner of Peck Slip and Water Street, Acqua is an Italian restaurant serving up a new and unexpected interpretation of Southern Italian coastal cuisine. Acqua celebrates the power of the sea and the freshness of its products by importing more than half of its fish directly from the Mediterranean Sea. ​ We offer an extensive Raw Bar menu, seafood antipasti, primi and Chef Giuseppe’s famous hand-made pasta. The menu also includes composed fish dishes, whole fish preparations and a selection of meat and side dishes to round out the extensive offerings. A bright, open, warm atmosphere welcomes you inside the restaurant and takes you straight to Margellina in Naples. ​ With big windows, old wooden floors, simple furnishing and vintage wooden tables and chairs, Acqua is the perfect place for enjoying authentic Italian food and premium wines. Executive Chef and Co-Owner Giuseppe Marrone plays a dual role at the restaurant and can be found at the helm of the kitchen or greeting guests on the main floor. ​ The wine list features a premium selection of red and white wines from every region of Italy. With 70+ selections, half of the wine list is dedicated to Italian whites, which complement the fresh fish and seafood. Chef Giuseppe Marrone’s success lies in the following factors – outstanding cuisine, warm service, and phenomenal wine programs – all in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.
