Acqua Restaurant

Decor is futuristic, yet classy. I kept looking at the ceiling which reminds me of katsuobushi i.e. the Japanese bonito. Food is innovative Italian cuisine with Sardinian touch. The squid tagliatelle is outstanding. I have tried this dish many times in different restaurants yet this one is the most flavorful. One minor thing is they should have served the starters in a slower pace to let our palates fully enjoy each dish.

A beautiful dining experience at Aqua Restaurant ❤️ Visiting from Vancouver, BC, I searched online for the top recommended restaurants in Phuket and Aqua consistently appeared on every list. After dining here, I can confidently say it deserves every bit of its reputation. From the very second we arrived, the service was absolutely top-tier. Someone was already at the door holding it open for us as we reached the steps, and that level of attention carried through our entire evening. The restaurant itself is stunning , elegantly designed, beautifully curated, and full of thoughtful details that make the space feel both luxurious and welcoming. We were first presented with a selection of complimentary hors d’oeuvres, and their presentation truly blew me away. I’ll attach photos, but one was a tiny, two-inch handheld pizza that somehow delivered the perfect bite of flavour. The other was a delicate tuna cone visually gorgeous and just as delicious. Such a beautiful way to start the meal. For our dinner, I ordered the tuna carpaccio, which was plated like artwork, followed by the spinach ricotta ravioli that was rich, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. My boyfriend had a chicken dish that was cooked beautifully and full of flavour as well. I also have to mention the strawberry cocktail so fresh, so well-made, and so perfectly balanced that I ordered it twice. What truly set this restaurant apart was the exceptional hospitality. The staff were incredibly attentive: our water glasses were never low, our table was always immaculate, and everything we needed appeared before we even realized we needed it. And as a wonderful final touch, the chef himself visited each table, including ours. Speaking with him was such a highlight ,hearing about the restaurant, his perspective, and his passion for his craft made the experience even more special. Aqua is a beautifully designed, high-end restaurant with world-class service, exquisite dishes, and an atmosphere that feels unforgettable. If you’re visiting Phuket and want a refined, memorable dining experience, this place absolutely deserves a spot at the top of your list.

Cuisine and service are almost at Michelin star level, with a pleasant atmosphere and a high service standard. Warm welcome and a large wine selection. The sole is presented in a very unusual way, looking more like a battered fish, which is not to my personal taste as I prefer to see the fish itself. Portions are rather small and prices on the higher side. Great open kitchen. All in all, recommended and worth a visit.

We had a lovely night celebrating our wedding anniversary there. The staff are nice & attentive. The restaurant is spacious & well set. The food is well cook. We did a tasting menu of 8 courses and we went home with pretty happy full tummy 😅 For the food, no wonder that each dish is well prepared & cook- with top quality ingredients. However, I missed the “ wow” , the creativity & the complexity of the food. All in all, Aqua is one of a quality restaurant in Phuket that anyone should try !!! And the price is fair !

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. Everything was absolutely delicious, the prices were very reasonable, and the staff was incredibly polite and attentive. I truly recommend this place!

Acqua Restaurant, Phuket was exceptional. The space is hip, modern, and beautifully designed, but what really makes it special is the people. The staff were warm, gracious, and clearly proud of what they do. There was real joy in the room, and you could feel it from the moment we arrived. The menu is wonderfully broad, which is such a gift for international travelers. It allows everyone to find something they love while still honoring Italian roots. The food was outstanding. Creative and eclectic, yet familiar and comforting. Every dish was beautifully executed and full of confidence. Service was polished, thoughtful, and relaxed. Nothing felt rushed or forced. It was one of those rare dining experiences where everything simply works. Truly memorable. They deserve every bit of praise.

Food is really outstanding. Very attentive service. Great wine selection. Must visit when in Phuket

Each course was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented…an absolute feast for the senses. The starters were creative and playful, served in an artistic and unexpected way that made the experience even more enjoyable. Every bite was bursting with flavor and elegance. The main courses were rich, balanced, and perfectly executed. You can feel the care and precision in every detail, from texture to seasoning. The combination of flavors was sophisticated yet comforting. Service was top-tier—attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. The ambiance of the restaurant is modern and chic, with an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere. One of the most memorable touches was the whimsical dessert presentation, which brought a smile to everyone at the table. Acqua offers more than just a meal, it delivers a complete dining experience.
