Acquerello, named for its original watercolors, envelops guests in a warm and gracious atmosphere the moment they arrive. A recent renovation of the 20-year old restaurant, led by designer John Wheatman, highlights the former chapel, graced with arches and a rustic wood-beamed vaulted ceiling, with warm Mediterranean colors of gold and terracotta. The 50 seat dining room is softly illuminated with light from polished brass lamps which dances off an extensive collection of crystal decanters and a large floral bouquet greeting guests as they enter. Co-owners Giancarlo Paterlini and Suzette Gresham-Tognetti work together to provide an unparallel Italian dining experience. Acquerello has received countless awards, including a Michelin star in the first-ever 2007 Bay Area guide.

epitome of inconsistency
By craigskenn on 02/24/2004
do you like: 1) service where you can't tell who your actual server is? 2) a floral display it overpowers any other scent in the restaurant? 3) very average food for the level they are striving for ....i.e gary danko, jardiniere, etc. 4) a place where no one will actually come over and ask if you like what you are eating? If your answers are "yes", this is the place for you! Seriously, I (and my some of my dining companions) had one terrible dish. I pointed it out to one of the servers ( I could never tell who was actually the head of our table team) and they took it off the bill, which was unexpected and very kind. However, then another server tells me as he gives me a complimentary dessert (which I did not want)in a VERY snippy voice..."I guess it pays to complain".....made me realize there are way too many places to eat in the city to put up with that kind of service and only so-so food. Stick with Danko's or Aqua, etc before you come here.
