The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere upon entering, especially the vase in the center, the small floral arrangements on each table, and even the flowers in the restrooms! While the entire place resembled a giant cowshed, the dim lighting, displays,

I think this is the best Italian restaurant in town, maybe one of the best restaurants in San Francisco, period. It's not cheap but on special occasions worth the splurge. Ambiance is gorgeous, service impeccable and the food delicious. A wine l

One should expect consistent excellence when dining at Acquerello. We dined there on August 6, 2025, with that expectation and chose the four-course menu with the wine pairing. The various amuse bouchées were fun, the best being the truffle potato

June 2025 Seasonal Menu I enjoyed my first visit at Acquerello! The restaurant carries a particular warmth and leads a vintage ambiance. I liked the fresh florals at many corners and the dimmed lights make for a romantic atmosphere. The seasonal
This was a lovely experience with some misses in flavor.
The service was very structured, you could see that everyone was well trained to behave a certain way. Decor and setup of the restaurant was beautifully but inviting. I got the tasting, which is detailed below. Standouts were the cod and lamb. I th

I've been here twice now, once with my BFF for our 6-year friendiversary and again with my mom 2 or 3 weeks later when she was visiting me. Each time has been genuinely perfect! Truly some of the best meals I've had in my life, and we all l
Good but Certainly not Worth 2 Micheling Stars
Good service, interesting menu, well executed, large but very narrow wine list lacking diversity, dining room seems it should be remodeled to more modern taste (not old enough to be classic, and definitely not recent). Overall a very good restaurant
A good restaurant with dishes that missed, very expensive. Great service.
Choose the seasonal tasting menu. The food was good but only a few dishes were great. The service was great, and was almost worth the cost. Very spectacular. The quail and venison were not very good, while Pasta with Faux "foie Gras" and
As good as it gets
Maybe the best wine list in San Francisco with a knowledgeable sommelier - truly great food and service in a convivial and romantic setting

My daughter had a birthday last week and was going to spend her birthday weekend in San Francisco. I was looking for a beautiful dinning place using all internet facilities. With a help of Tripadviser I found the Acquerello restaurant. The Acquer
Superb haute cuisine
Such a gracious welcome into a beautiful foyer. The dining room is smallish, and lushly decorated. Professional staff provides excellent service. Every menu we’ve enjoyed the years, seasonal and especially truffle season. Wine pairings are superb.
Sublime dining
This is our favorite high end restaurant in San Francisco. We’ve enjoyed dining here for more than 2 decades, and every dish has been superb. Top notch from greeting onward, and the service is sublime. The Truffle menu, with wines, is a true pleasu
Still San Francisco's Finest
Our latest trip to Acquerello showed us why they are is still the class of San Francisco and the pinnacle of Italian fine dining in the bay. Visiting this time for my wife's birthday, we reserved the prix fixe and were greeted with professional

We came to San Francisco for the weekend to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. I chose restaurants several months before the trip. I chose this restaurant because of the arrangement of the tables; it is important for me that my husband and I si

I have had the pleasure of dining at Acquerello multiple times, and I would be hard-pressed to find any fault in either the food, service, or ambiance. You truly cannot go wrong regardless of what you order, and the service is genuine and attentive
My new favorite Michelin-star restaurant.
Ambient room, delicate food, great presentation, fantastic service. The only draw-back was that our table was pretty close to another couple's (but it was not an issue).

Just went there after two years.
It should be 3 Michelin Stars. Great food, fantastic service, superb sommelier. Really good.
Here are some photos from our 8-course meal.
Such a lovely experience. The ambience was so relaxing. Wasn't loud as I was expecting. The service was exceptional! Every single person to cross our table gave such amazing service and attention to me and my partner. One person especially made an am
TLDR: A 2 Michelin star restaurant with impeccable service.
The food was also delicious of course, and they're very accommodating of dietary needs. It was so wonderful to celebrate my birthday here, and as someone with a big sweet tooth, the 5 dessert courses at the end were the cherry on top of the experienc

The service and wine pairing were amazing.
Best part of the meal. Loved how well we were treated. However they have NO cocktails. Would have been a better experience to unwind into the experience. I would never recommend the food. Out of four dishes I only liked one. I have no idea how this
I came here with my husband to celebrate our anniversary.
2 Michelin stars! We opted in for the 4-course prix fixe tasting menu. Before going to the restaurant, we learn that there is a dress code. We had to wait about 5-10 minutes before they led us to our table. We were seated, and there was even a nice

Underwhelming! I chose to come here for the experience.
The food was ok, my favorite item was part of the chefs welcome bites. But everything else I got wasn't stellar or anything. The veal carpaccio, had way too much tuna flavor to make it enjoyable. Also the duck, just like "is this it, what's the
Amazing dining experience.
We ordered the seasonal tasting menu for $275/person. I'll spare the reader and refrain from listing everything we ate, but I found the standouts to be the quail, the poached lobster, and the ridged pasta. The quail was perfectly cooked -- not at all
It's always a pleasure coming to Acquerello.
It's still one of my favorite Michelin star restaurants. The staff is always so friendly and courteous to everyone, and always fun to talk to. They're knowledgeable and know exactly where the indigents come from. I always describe the experience as a
Stellar and a must visit.
Stellar in every respect. Essentially perfect from my perspective. The food is first-rate, indeed. The pastas are both inventive and superb, best I have ever had - here or in Italy. The amuse bouche are beyond extraordinary, as are the mignardis

Chef's surprise? We were truly surprised.
What looked like a cute ice cream came as our first dish, but it tasted like salted whipped cream wrapped in a wafer cone. The rest of the dishes were unmemorable to say the least, some were good like the foie gras pasta and the dessert was phenomena

Great food! No words can fully describe them, you have to try them! They have a wide collection of wine and the pairing was absolutely great! I will DEFINITELY come back again!

I rarely rarely give 5 stars, but it is hard for me to give Acquerello anything but a perfect - or near perfect - review. Though I'll probably never be back to Acquerello as I'd probably opt to try another Michelin rated place instead, it was overall

Fabulous from start to finish! Beautiful ambiance, comfortable seating and tables are nicely spaced out. Service was impeccable. I haven't had this kind of service in ages. Everyone from the maitre d to the sommelier to the waiter to the young man
I came here for my 30th birthday dinner.
They started us off with three different amuse-bouchés, all were delicious and got us excited for the resort of the meal. The first course was the bufala stracciatella and the hiramasa crudo. Both were outstanding! I loved the caramelized sweetness

Connect with users posting reservations for Acquerello San Francisco
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Acquerello San Francisco. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Acquerello San Francisco at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Acquerello San Francisco page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* DistinguishedTree58, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* DistinguishedTree58 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to DistinguishedTree58 for any questions Peter may have as DistinguishedTree58 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* DistinguishedTree58 now uses their connections at Acquerello San Francisco to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If DistinguishedTree58 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, DistinguishedTree58 receives the $200 reward which is credited to DistinguishedTree58's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Acquerello San Francisco!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
