Great atmosphere and had a wonderful happy hour menu. Enjoyed as much as we could eat lol. The pizza is wonderful and worth trying just for the crust. The crab cakes and crab ravioli were just ok. I felt they lacked a bold flavor I was expecting. The veal tortellini was wonderful and the mussels had a wonderful cream sauce.

We came here for happy hour and the food was amazing. Let me start by saying that they have valet parking which is cheaper than the parking lot where we parked around the corner … we’ll know for next time.

Wonderful service and delicious food! As returning customers, the food continues to be great. The portions are generous, especially the main dishes. The sides are also definitely shareable, which we love.

First time here and food was delicious, did not disappoint! From all the pasta restaurants I have encountered in Cleveland or Cleveland general area, Aqua Di Luca has knocked number one spot down in my rankings. We were a bigger group and shared most of our dishes like family style. Every bite of any pasta was just divine and fresh. In addition, seafood did not disappoint, however if you have a sesame allergy avoid the tuna. Cocktails were typical and the whiskey selection on the menu was priced ok. They did have several other whiskeys behind the bar that were not listed in the menu, such as several varieties of EHT.

The atmosphere and staff were great. The food was horrible. Borderline inedible. We ordered the filet pizza. There was no mention of capers. I love a few capers here and there but I think someone dumped the bottle on my pizza. 20 capers per slice. So salty you couldn’t even eat it! Crab cakes has no visible crab, just filler. Lobster did not taste fresh. Caprese salad lacked basil and thus flavor. The highlight was the bread and oil. So disappointed as I love his other restaurants.

Eh. 3 stars – If you’re there for the atmosphere you can’t find much better. The place is absolutely beautiful. The food is just ok. I think a little overpriced for what you get. We had the crab cake app and it’s nothing to write home about. Shredded claw meat, plenty of filler, just ok sauce but beautiful presentation. I got the risotto. The risotto itself was great. I’d drop the price by 1/3 maybe down to around $29, cut the portion size in half, 86 the extra dry crab leg (or cook it properly, fully de-shell it, lay it over the risotto and add the glaze in a circular motion).That indeed would be more pleasing to me esthetically. No need for the additional crab leg. It gets in the way and is more of a distraction than something that adds to the dish. The king crab was very dry. I had better at the red crab. Our waiter was a little snobby which makes sense for the atmosphere but not 100% necessary. The real winners are the support staff that bring the water and box the food. They are very pleasant and polite. All in all just ok. Not worth over $100 per person.

Really good food! Well presented. I like how they match stake with lobster or shrimp. We ordered Wagyu with Scampi and Megnon with Lobster, they were cooked in perfection. Not to mention their seafood soup (Cioppino), a must try.

Excellent customer service. I believe my server was named Victor. The other staff I interacted with were wonderful as well. Every bite of food was delicious. The portions were larger than expected. Great scotch selection. The most uncomfortable patio chairs I’ve ever sat in. Super deep (for short people), flat, hard wood, with back support that doesn’t do any such thing. Unfortunately notable. Haha! The patio was still a lovely spot to dine in late August. I would return and highly recommend eating here if you have the opportunity to.

I was impressed with the way this place felt. It transferred me to Italy. Although the disrespectful drivers on the street reminded us that we are indeed still in Cleveland.

This is a not typical Italian restaurant. It is an American Italian restaurant. The dishes are more oriented towards American cuisine with an Italian touch. So no pasta dishes, no pizza. This does not mean that the food is bad. In fact, it is very good. The portions are very large particularly the mains. So you need to take that into account when ordering. Service was good. Decor and ambience is a bit dull.
