Acqua Restaurant

I didn’t know this restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2019 and 2020 and has been listed in the Michelin Guide every year since. Everything we tried was absolutely exquisite, and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. It was a great experience

This is fine dining at its best – a place where every detail has been thoughtfully considered to create a memorable culinary experience. For anyone in Phuket, a visit to Acqua is not just recommended, it’s essential.

We only ordered two dishes, both with truffle, and they were absolutely delicious. The restaurant was generous with the ingredients and both the pizza and beef cheeks risotto were standout choices, though we would have loved slightly larger beef pieces. The balsamic vinegar was so good we had to purchase a bottle. The staff were kind, and the service was excellent. We were pleasantly surprised with complimentary starters and desserts, including an incredible chocolate biscuit. We were sad we didn’t have time to return and try more, but we’ll definitely be back on our next visit to Phuket!

We had a different kind of food, which was amazing and yummy. Loved every bite of it. The service was very good and the staff was vey quick and kind.

Great italian fine dining restaurant. Really appreciated tartare and spaghetti vongole with sea urchin. Good selection of wines and spot on cocktails.

Amazing experience! Went there for our 2 year anniversary. Arrived early in the evening and was seated quickly. The service team was nice and very attentive. Great menus, beautiful table decoration with rose peddles and Marcella and the service team congratulated us on our anniversary. The food was both beautifully presented and deliciously cooked. As both of us work in hospitality, we can appreciate it when a restaurant team has a passion for their craft. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough and good value for money in my opinion. Go and check it out

Had the degustation 7 courses with wine accompaniment. The food was superb, with the exception of a couple of courses which I felt weren't of the standard of the rest (smoked eel and the desert). The service was excellent, the only criticism I would have is that as the restaurant wasn't that busy when we ate, we felt we were being watched. Would highly recommend for a special occasion, but bring a sweater as it's quite cold inside the restaurant, we asked to move outside for coffee. Thank you for the birthday plate, it was much appreciated.

The atmosphere is beautiful and thinking in all the details love the drinks and food is fresh and delocious!!
