"From the delicious apps, to the specials, to the desserts, Casa L’Acqua does not disappoint! This is our favorite upscale “fine Italian in Delray Beach because the food is exceptional and the service is impeccable. Please note: this is NOT your checkered tablecloth Italian. You want spaghetti meatballs?” Fuggedaboutit! Think more along the lines of langoustines, octopus carpaccio, homemade pastas like black truffle ravioli in cream and tortellini w/ prosciutto along with a $1M wine cellar for proper pairing. DO NOT miss sea salt encrusted branzino (my wifey’s fave) or the veal chop with black truffle cream sauce (phenomenal). Joe will debone the fish himself in his corner station near the kitchen before it’s brought to your table. Everything Joe and his team creates is prepared, assembled, and served with care. From the complimentary Parmesan cheese with balsamic honey drizzle that appears the moment you are seated, you know you are in for a treat. The staff is always hustling, the bar is always full, and the place is always packed no matter the season, so grab and confirm your reservation. The place is not huge but there’s indoor and outdoor (porch/garden) seating available. Finish with a tartufo, fresh tiramisu, or pinapple flambe (my father in law’s fav) along with a cappuccino or espresso and your culinary journey is complete!"
