The minute you walk into this restaurant you know you are in a special place! Low lights, Frank Sinatra playing in the background, every table set to perfection with a fresh rose on each and glimmering light above from sparkling chandeliers. Our server was delightful, well versed about everything on the regular menu and the specials. She knew how to pair the wine, too. Both my friend and I had the Pappadelle Con Porcini E Tartufo meaning homemade pasta with creamy porcini, mushroom sauce, topped with shaved truffle, and truffle oil. It was heavenly!!! I cant wait to go back and try some of the other dishes! Fantastic job everyone!

A bunch of us ladies got together for a holiday Sunday Brunch (our annual) we in the past went to On The Nines however they no longer accommodate a table of more than 8. (Which was kinda disappointing) BUT this was our first time here and it was FABULOUS! I’m Almost certain this will be our new annual Holiday spot! Our server Maddie was amazing! Maddie made us feel right at home, easy going, attentive and funny! The food was delicious and the atmosphere- perfect! I will be going back! Definitely a date night spot.

Our first time here. Discovered this place walking out of next door Eat-a Bowl, and glad we did. Food was amazing. Hats off to the chef. Our server Caroline was amazing after dealing with my disappointment over the small table in front of the women’s room, with an empty dining room at 5 pm opening, and after making reservations in advance. The restaurant filled up though half way through our meal. The owner Sarah came over and spoke with us. What a sweetheart. She explained why, with a party of 16 that cancelled last minute. As a business owner myself, she made things okay. She gave us a complementary after dinner drink, which was a lemon something, and it was delicious. I enjoyed the food, the staff, the owner. Sarah gave me an insider’s tip when booking a table. 186 for our check, plus tip, for a wonderful 5-star dinner for two, with delicious food, dessert, and cocktails. Caroline got a deservingly so big tip because of the experience of her and owner Sarah, and of course the food, after our initial let down (almost walked out when seated, glad we didn’t)....No problem though with the initial seating disappointment, because everything else more than made up for it. We will be back again soon. Good luck Sarah, you’ll do great things here.

A local gem in Mooresville, NC! The cocktails are beautiful and delicious. All the food was amazing! I highly recommend getting the artichoke appetizer if it’s available. The Carpaccio Di Polio was also good and a unique way of preparing octopus. For main course, I loved the Veal Napoletana. The ambiance was great, upscale but not pretentious, bandits great for big groups.

I have to share how amazing the experience was at this restaurant last night. From the red carpet entrance to the hostess to the amazing smell in the restaurant when we walked in. Then we got to our seats and took in the decor of the place while our server Maddie welcomed us. She kept the night fun and moving along at a great pace with her attentive service and amazing personality. Tara the owner came over to our table and what a treat. She is right there to help and makes you feel like you are guests sitting at her kitchen table. The drinks were so perfect and the food was outstanding!!! We had appetizers that were so good and perfect size to share with 6 people. Our main meals included eggplant parmigiana, raviolis stuffed with lobster and crab, gnocchi and a chicken dish that melted in your mouth! We all shared the food and we all agreed it was all so delicious. We loved it so much that we made a reservation to go back next weekend.

What a treat it was to dine at Acqua Ragazza. I chose the Merluzzo Al Pesto as my main dish (fresh cod wrapped with prosciutto, topped with red onions and roasted tomatoes in a pesto sauce). It was spectacular! The flavors were bold, balanced and delicious. Fish never tasted so good! My cocktail was super fun too. You can tell the food is planned and prepared by culinary experts with a passion for excellence. This place is a gem.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience during the soft opening. We started dinner with the meatball appetizer and our server recommended bread with that, which came out like a pizza and it was a perfect addition! I ordered the lasagna while my husband ordered the veal and both were amazing! He really enjoyed the veal, was nice and tender with a great sauce. Lasagna was superb - homemade pasta and the sauce was so flavorful. Dessert we did a chocolate cake and a lemon cake both of which were outstanding! What a wonderful addition to Mooresville!

We feel so blessed to have found Acqua Ragazza. We were in desperate need of a location for our rehearsal dinner, and after extensive searching, my husband and I stumbled upon this hidden gem. The food was authentic Italian and absolutely delicious, with generous portion sizes that were well worth the price—we were instantly in love. Lauren and Tara truly understood our vision and worked closely with us to bring it to life. With a party of 30, the evening ran smoothly from start to finish. The staff was incredibly professional and courteous throughout the night. As we left, our guests couldn’t stop raving about the amazing food and inviting atmosphere. I highly recommend Acqua Ragazza to anyone looking for outstanding food or a memorable venue for a special event!
