    Wonderful dinner! Great “special meals” this evening. Two of us were treated to grilled shrimp and lobster ravioli with an excellent sauce. Shared cannoli and Tiramisu. They have gluten free pasta for a choice. Great dinner.

    We ordered the grill calamari and octopus. Both were excellently prepared  and full of flavor. For our entrées, we ordered the lamb shank and also the linguine with muscles and shrimp. Fantastic! Our server, Michelle was very personable, friendly and attentive as well. Overall, a great experience for our first visit to Acquaviva. Looking forward to a future visit with friends.
