This is one of my favorite scratch kitchens!!! This is a romantic hidden getaway by the shores of La Jolla. So cozy, romantic and AMAZING food! I recommend the filet mignon with side of gold potatoes or the salmon with the lemon garlic spinach with tomato cherries. My husband and I just spent out 10th year anniversary here and they sat us at the best place in the house AND gave us a dessert on them. Give them a try!

I would readily give the staff at Acquavite a couple of extra stars!!
We were a group of 22 people (12 adults and 10 kids) for Thanksgiving dinner. We are all out of towners. My wife looked around for restaurants that would be open for Thanksgiving, and chose Acquavite from among the options. And boy, did she nail it! They put us in a private area, and so it really felt like Thanksgiving. Right from the pre-event logistical planning, to welcoming us when we arrived, to patiently taking care of our needs, all through chaotic ordering and re-ordering, they nailed every aspect of the hospitality. And then there was the food! Many ingredients fresh from Tuscany and lovingly prepared. Between all the vegetarian, meat-eaters and gluten free needs of the group, everyone had options. And almost everything we ordered was outstanding. Some of the dishes were just out of this world! I am not a fan of risotto, but their porcini risotto was really delicious. Their ravioli was according to several of us, the best ravioli we had ever had. The left over olive oil and cheese was so good that we shamelessly asked for some more bread to wipe it clean with. (The first round of bread was hot out of the oven and very good. it took forever to arrive but we were in no hurry.) The butter was flavored with passion fruit. Sounds gross but was outstanding. And then there was the DESSERT. The panna cotta!! OMG, I would eat it all day long, all week long, all month long long, all year long, life long! The most fresh tasting, flavorful, out of this world panna cotta there ever was. Overall, we had an outstanding time. The staff went out of their way to meet every need. The service may have been a bit slow and it was totally understandable given it was Thanksgiving, but that was actually even a plus. We spent 2.5 hours there for a very relaxed, very enjoyable meal. A totally memorable meal and evening. Having played a round at Torrey Pines earlier in the day, and spending time with my beautiful friends and family and enjoying gracious hospitality and delightful food that evening, Thanksgivings can't get much better!
Thank you Chef Filippo and Team Acquavite!!
