Neapolitan pies from wood-fired oven, pasta, and entrees.
"All’acqua offers a variety of pastas, pizzas, and a few traditional Italian fish and meat entrees in a scene-y, yet comfortable atmosphere. The mix of the comfortable (cottage-like exposed beams, comfortable booths) with the modern (dramatically-lit walls, lots of concrete, and massive windows) fits the cuisine perfectly, which takes familiar foods and elevates them to a level befitting of the buzz (and the price). RESERVE A TABLE WITH RESERVE A TABLE Food Rundown Insalata Di Campo This tastes fresh. Not like how a perfect piece of sushi is fresh. Like how Freshmint gum is fresh. And while that’s not necessarily a bad thing when you’re about to shove a personal pizza down your gullet, it's just not the best dish by itself. Mixed Chicories A solid salad, though if they went a little lighter on the gorgonzola and a little heavier on the apple it would fit our palate a little better. Brasato Di Manzo A braised beef short rib in a smoky sauce, cut absolutely perfectly by the tartness of the bed of parsnip purée. I be like damn. Margherita Pizza That woodfire oven is doing magic, making a perfectly fluffy crust with a great, flavorful char on the bottom. Fresh ingredients (the good kind of fresh) top this to make a perfect pizza." - Michael Burke
"All’Acqua stands out as being one of the few upscale-ish options in a neighborhood intent on staying as laidback as possible. And while we definitely endorse this Italian spot for date night, its lunch situation is equally as solid. If you work in Glendale and are sick of figuring out how to survive another lunch hour at the Americana, head down to All’Acqua with your co-workers for some sweet relief. Think pizzas (the margherita is a must), housemade pasta, paninis, and a tiramisu you’re going to want to save room for." - brant cox
"COVID-19 Update: Open for pickup and delivery. The wood-fired pizza at this Atwater Village spot is on par with Pizzeria Mozza, Milo & Olive, and Bestia—which says a lot. It also has a late-night menu, which is kind of key if you're looking for a good option after a Dodgers game.

"Protesters marched in front of All’Acqua before returning to grab something to eat." - Mona Holmes
"An Atwater Village Italian that has become comfortable neighborhood fare—dimly lit, mellow, and reliable—with a recent culinary nudge toward handmade pastas under a new chef; a place where familiar pizzas and pastas coexist with a renewed attention to texture and technique." - Eater Staff
