   I’m thrilled that aqui de Dea is open late on Saturdays so we can come after the theatre. Our Meal’s were awesome so much so we ordered another serving of the escarole to take home with us. I loved how they were so accommodating to us, even as the kitchen was getting ready to close. Really this place is such a gem for the Cleveland late night scene. We’ll be back for sure!

   The tuna app was good. The crab cakes had a lot of breading. The bone-in filet steak was tough and fatty. Not a prime cut. I will go somewhere else for a $300 meal. Not worth it.

   Aqua di Dea was one of our favorite restaurants when we travel to Cleveland, we enjoyed coming to eat such amazing food. Our latest experience was subpar - dinners were cold (gnocchi) and the sauce tasted burned. They changed the bread to rosemary olive rolls- bring back the bread from Mediterra. They changed the recipes and menu. The food was disappointing especially when you are paying that much money to eat.

   Milad the bartender was amazing. He gave great recommendations on food and drinks and gave immaculate service. The shrimp appetizer could be much better, I’d advise not getting it

   We had a fantastic experience at Acqua Di Dea! The ambiance was modern and inviting, setting the perfect tone for our night. We opted for the Valentine’s Day tasting menu, and every course was artfully presented and absolutely delicious. Our server was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining each dish in detail and making spot-on wine recommendations. From start to finish, it was an unforgettable dining experience—we can’t wait to return!

   Went on Valentines Day. Was insane. Way overbooked. Food took forever, the steak was wrong twice, the $95 bone in one, the pasta was overcooked, and overall an unpleasant experience and hit to the wallet

    We had a horrible experience, as did so many others that evening. We were sat 30 minutes after our reservation time, and then waited over an hour at our table without ever even receiving a menu. Servers would walk right by and yell at their help that waters weren’t filled, menus delivered, etc. and yet, they’d do absolutely nothing about it. It was wild. Entrees around our table were being delivered before appetizers. No one was receiving the correct order - it was chaos and an absolute embarrassment of an evening. I wouldn’t recommend someone to go here even if they were hoping to have the worst night of their life - I am certain the team would have found a way to mess that up too. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR $$$ CONSIDERING THIS PLACE. ZERO STARS.
