    Outstanding first experience at Acqua Bistecca DC for our family of three commemorating Mother's Day. Excellent service: Friendly, professional, knowledgeable, gave excellent recommendations, was on top of all our needs. Delicious food: We had the Chef's Tasting Menu with about 15 dishes served family style in three courses and all of them were incredible, this is not an exaggeration. Beautiful space and wonderful ambiance: Modern-chic decorated space with comfortable seats, high ceiling, impressive, elegant bar. Excellent drinks: Two delicious and beautiful cocktails and a Peroni beer. Beyond expectations: Received complimentary home-made limoncellos and a bottle of also home-made Bloody Mary mix. Highly recommend this beautiful and outstanding restaurant.
