acquafarina

Food was fantastic and the service was top notch. I would highly recommend this place. Everything we ordered was delicious and you definitely can't go wrong with anything you order. They were great with the toddler and baby that we brought along.

Absolutely amazing happy hour! Blown away by the amazing service by the servers and Kerry - the food and drinks were all spot on. Came here with my friend Jenn and started with the espresso martini - delicious. For food, we tried the focaccia, the beef carpaccio, truffle fries and gnocchi. The foccacia was served warm with a delicious butter. Beef carpaccio was not too heavy and seasoned well. Truffle fries were nice and crispy with a good amount of Parmesan on top. Gnocchi were pillowy soft with a great tomato sauce. Moved on to the next other happy hour drink - bourbon sour. Loved the cinnamon in this. Next on the drink menu, the negroni. Really solid and smooth with a delightful citrus note. Onto dessert - tiramisu. Classic Italian dessert and loved the pour of extra coffee at the table. Couldn’t say no to an amaro to end the night. Loved the nonimo - not too sweet, very balanced. Can’t wait to come back!

The food was really delicious. I had the Romeo and Juliet, which was really great (though maybe a little too rich). Service was alright, it could’ve been a little more efficient but the place was busy. Didn’t particularly love the cocktail selection

Came here on my birthday with a friend a week or so ago. Everything was so spectacular! Our beef carpaccio was next level delicious and our pastas were so flavourful with amazing quality. Our server was also awesome! (Wish I got his name) he was really welcoming and provided fantastic wine service. The staff even signed a birthday card for when I arrived.... omg just lovely.....

If I could give six stars out of five, I absolutely would. Acquafarina in Vancouver, BC, is a dining experience like no other. From the moment we arrived, everything—from the ambiance to the immaculate presentation—was pitch-perfect. The food was sensational: every course felt like a celebration of flavor, artfully crafted and deeply satisfying. But what elevated our night into something truly unforgettable was the incredible service. Our waitress, Helena, was beyond exceptional. She didn’t just serve our table—she elevated our entire evening. Warm, attentive, and genuinely personable, Helena made us feel seen and cared for in a way that went far beyond typical service. Her recommendations were flawless, her timing impeccable, and her kindness heartfelt. She turned a fantastic dinner into a truly meaningful experience, and we’ll always remember her for it. We were also lucky enough to meet Tanner, the outstanding manager, who went above and beyond by giving us a personal tour of the entire facility. His passion for the restaurant and his dedication to excellence were evident in every corner of the space, from the elegant dining rooms to the stunning wine cellar. He took the time to share the story and vision behind Acquafarina, and it made us appreciate the experience on a whole new level. Throughout the evening, we were blessed to interact with many members of the staff, each one welcoming, engaging, and clearly proud to be part of such a remarkable establishment. Their genuine hospitality made us feel like honored guests. Every suggestion they made—from wine pairings to dessert choices—was spot-on. The whole team worked in seamless harmony, creating a night we’ll never forget. Without a doubt, our dinner at Acquafarina was the highlight of our entire trip to Vancouver. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a memory we’ll treasure. The food was phenomenal, but the service—especially from Helena and Tanner—was truly world-class. Thank you for making us feel so welcomed, so valued, and so delighted. We can’t wait to return.

An Unforgettable Experience Thanks to Kasey!** *Posted by a Delighted Diner* Our recent dinner at **Aquafina** wasn’t just a meal—it was a masterclass in hospitality, thanks to our server, **Kasey**, chef and the rest of the team. From the moment we walked in, his warm smile and genuine enthusiasm set the tone for a perfect evening. Kasey’s attention to detail was impeccable. He guided us through the menu with expert knowledge, recommending dishes that suited our tastes perfectly (the grilled sea bass and truffle pasta were divine!). Her timing was flawless—attentive without being intrusive, and she anticipated our needs before we even asked. When we mentioned celebrating a special occasion, he surprised us with a beautifully plated dessert, making the night feel truly magical. The ambiance at Aquafina is chic yet cozy, and the food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. If you dine here, you’ll leave not just satisfied, but genuinely delighted. Thank you, Aquafina, for a perfect evening. We’ll be back soon!

We visited Acquafarina as part of Dine Out Vancouver, and boy was it worth it! First, our reso wasn’t until 8:45, but when we checked in at 8:35 we were let in right away. They asked if we were celebrating and when we said it was our anniversary, the staff were so friendly! One staff member (I presume a service manager) brought us complimentary sparkling wine, our server was so friendly and made nice conversation with us, and the restaurant gave us an anniversary card at the end of our meal signed by the staff. Our food was great, we tried a little bit of everything. We got three courses each and finished the whole meal in about an hour! The tonno scottato was so delicious, the wagyu beef carpaccio was very light and easy to digest. The braised veal cheek was fabulous and melted in your mouth. The seared black cod had a beautifully crispy skin that was salted to perfection. The tiramisu was also light (not a big raisin fan but it was still great) and the sorbet was a perfect dessert. Worth the money!

Now this is my favorite restaurant in vancouver! Everything is delicious here! carpaccio, olives, pasta, pizza! It's love at first sight! This atmosphere, this incredible summer terrace! I would spend every day there! The staff is a separate and big thank you. Polite, caring, friendly. And the birthday card? It seems like something not so important, but this attention is priceless! Thank you!
