Acquacheta

A unique restaurant, delicious meal. If visit, should try zuppetta di pere!

Great night in very particular restaurant on a secondary street of viale Monza. The inspiration is clearly Tuscan cooking with a salt of the earth series of entree, first courses that appeal the most varied palate and the "piece of resistance" the "braceria" which encompasses all the bbq/over open fire cooking very dear to the Tuscan tradition. Costata and Fiorentina are really good, hearty portions starting around the the 1,5 kg for the Fiorentina and the 800gr/1kg for the costata. We ordered antipasti that covered different kinds of ham, sausage and truffle mortadella with "gnocco fritto" @eki8128 ordered a very fresh and crunchy mozzarella and puntarelle salad. We then moved to a costata, a tagliata and a fiorentina. All very nice and very well cooked and presented with a side of roasted potatoes. To drink we chose, from a quite substantial wine menu, a very nice bottle of "lacrima di morro d'alba". A fairly tasty and important red wine from Marche that presents itself with black berries and liquerice notes on the palate, very fresh on the tongue that complemented the dinner quite well. As dessert a parfait with a chocolate sauce and a Catalan cream. Both fairly nice with the right crunchy sounds when breaking the caramelized sugar layer. Restaurant itself is really nice. Somewhere in between the rustic and old milanese style, checkered table cloth and a very kind and caring staff that answered all our questions with kindness and knowledge. While it might not be the best "braceria" in Milan, acquechete is a solid choice for a friends night out in a shabby chic setting. Obvs, cause what we ordered, the price was around 60 euros per person. Was expected and quite aligned with others in the same category. Will look forward to come back in summer to check the outside spaces and the al fresco dining in the garden.

Acquacheta is a combination of good service, excellent atmosphere and great food.

Nice food, nice atmosphere, friendly staff

The place was quiet nice food not the best

Excellent food, service was ok although a bit slow and with few hiccups. Prices are medium-high. The Location outside is beautiful.

Nice and cozy place, good food and polite staff! The only little advice that I can give is that the menu is not really vegetarian friendly but it’s a meaty place so I guess I had to see that coming! Anyway the overall experience was great :)

Lovely intimate garden setting outside. The food was fabulous and pretty much perfect in every way. I had a risotto that was creamy, flavorful and seasoned just right. My waiter recommended the prime rib for my main and I was not disappointed. In the US, I would say 50% of the time, it's hard to get beef at a perfect medium-rare, but without even asking, the chef at Acquacheta delivered the perfect temperature meat. If there was a slight negative, it would be that the service was pretty slow. But one expects that in Italy in general, so no big deal. I will say that the atmosphere felt intimate; a little like a neighborhood dinner party where everyone else knew each other and I was the stranger standing in the corner. However, any time I engaged the staff in conversation, they were friendly and really a nice bunch of folks. Recommended.
