Acqua al 2
Acqua Al 2 came to life in 1978 Florence, Italy, just steps away from the bustling Piazza della Signoria. With an extreme passion for creative Tuscan cuisine and using only the freshest ingredients, Acqua Al 2 has remained a favorite among Florence locals. Now, here in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, Acqua Al 2 boasts the same international ambiance and authentic cuisine of Italy. Specializing in traditional pasta and meat dishes, Acqua Al 2 is reminiscent of old-world Tuscan bistros.

Do try the various kebabs -- flavored with a luscious marinade of garlic and saffron -- and the veal or lamb shank dishes, both served with mountains of fragrant basmati rice.
