Acqua e Farina - Italian Pizza & Pasta Restaurant . Rail Mall

Very expensive but no regrets going! Been to a more affordable Italian place near here (starts with i) that’s very famous, for someone’s birthday celebration. That restaurant didn’t even say “happy birthday” or did anything for my birthday guest. We bought a lot more food there also. They had preferential treatment to certain races. Acqua e Farina, completely different experience. They placed a whole banner with the words “happy birthday” for the birthday ladies, and gave us free donuts with happy birthday written (even to non-birthday peeps), they promptly refilled water at all times, they checked in on us, allowed us to eat a cake from outside too. They wish the birthday ladies happy birthday and sang songs too. Rly warm service! Restaurant wasn’t crowded at all on a weekday dinner. I could hear my friends without straining my ears, or speaking louder, which was rare. Very chill place to dine at. Amazing place for birthdays. Didn’t felt rushed at all. Even past closing they didn’t shoo us out. Polite staff! I just let the girls ordered what they want so I don’t know exactly what we ordered, bill came up to $195 for 4 pax total, for one pizza, one pasta, one steak, and the dessert platter ($19). Tbh the food doesn’t really stand out to us non-bday peeps (other than the tiramisu), but the bday ladies loved it and were very happy, and that’s most important. They like the steak + pizza + lava cake + creme brûlée. If you have a special occasion upcoming, will recommend ❤️ Thank you 4 Nov dinner service team for the wonderful experience!!

The staffs are very polite and initiative. We love their service. We were fully impressed and recommended of their food. It is so delicious! The staff were so amazing that they sang the birthday song to my 2 friends and made their day special!!! This is feels a warm welcome family restaurant!!! 👍

Came here for birthday celebration and had a fantastic experience! The food is authentic and of good quality. I especially enjoyed the three cheese pizza, the dough was chewy yet crispy and complimented the cheese. The carbonara is one of the best I had! The service is absolutely amazing and the place has great vibes. It carries an elegant but homey feel! I highly recommend this place

Came in February, didn’t like the food. I’ve had better ones with better prices somewhere else. It is not tasty and pasta was overcooked, soggy. The only thing I enjoyed was the desserts platter.

the focaccia (first serving complimentary) is flat like a naan not sure why, tastes decent but had better at swissotel’s Prego. It’s free so I shall not nitpick on it. the mains were great though, the pasta was really nice, tasted like something my italian grandma would cook if I had an italian grandma and it just felt homely and rustic. pizza was great, but I don’t know why they can’t cut 6 slices for us since there were six of us. they die die just want to cut 8 slices erm ok lol. Not sure why that is so difficult. Pasta portions are on the smaller side. Expected more for that pricing tbh. Steak’s okay, chef did a salt bae demonstration for us but personally felt a little underseasoned. Pasta’s in the $30-40 range, can’t remember the price for pizza but similar-ish to the pasta. Steak’s $80. Not cheap but worth it the price point. Overall I would definitely come again to relive my imaginary Italian grandma’s cooking EDIT: Came back to eat again and realised their risotto was sausage is really one super small sausage. LOL. $30 for that. just wow. just see the last pic
