Aqua e Vino


Aqua e Wino could well steal the show amongst Cracow's Italian restaurants. New for the Summer of 2005, this stylish restaurant is in fact run by an Italian, a rare but crucial factor when it comes to delivering the goods. The owners Roberto and Francesco have created an elegant, contemporary vibe, at the same time taking care to bring out the charm of this classic medieval cellar. The menu is wide-ranging, and chef Francesco promises to take you on a memorable adventure through the delights of Italian cuisine. The wines have been carefully selected from the vineyards of the motherland, and Roberto has one more trick up his sleeve - the wine of eternal life - make sure you give it a try in their smooth lounge bar!

"Best Italian food--from starter to dessert--we have ever found in our travels throughout the US and Europe. The insalada caprese was exquisite. The pasta was perfect. The fish excellent. The tiramisu fantastic. Attractive ambiance. Good service. Our best dining experience in Cracow--by far."

"An excellent, well run accomodating restaurant near the Main Square. I booked my table thru the internet before our Krakow vacation. Excellent response, food and impeccable service. They even had a surprise Buon Compleanno cake for my wife. Got her good with that one (a few tears). Very good for value. Try the dorada and lamb dishes. Too die for. "

"This is one of the best Italian restaurant we've ever been (Italy included!!). Superb food in a casual location but elegant at the same time, with excellent service and with probably the best wine list in Cracow. We also spent here New Year's Eve and even if the local was completely full we have to say that Francesco and Roberto made us feel as we was in Italy, even better! Many thanks again to all the staff and happy new year! Highly recommended from Italian gourmets..."

We still haven't found a better place to dine in Krakow so will continue to enjoy the Aqua e Vino team's traditional Italian food and hospitality for the remainder of our stay here.

"I visited Aqua e Vino last April having read the reviews on this site. I was quite surprised when I arrived at the entrance - it's not too inviting. However, the restaurant itself when you go down to the cellar is really lovely. The food and service are very good. I'm deducting 1 point as I have had better meals in Krakow. However, it's definitely worth a visit. "

"This restaurant was a little hard for us to find, and we made it with no time to spare for our 7:30 reservation. It is tiny, as others have said, and the tables closer together, which made it easy to chat with a wonderful Italian couple who sat next to us. Two visits - two great meals. One of the most enjoyable dining experiences I have had. If you like seafood, go and enjoy this restaurant for what is: fresh ingredients, cooked well and served with a smile. We really enjoyed it and wouldn't hesitate to revisit or recommend. They stay open late too which is rare in Krakow."

"Sono nata a Cracovia e studio l'italiano da ben 4 anni. Amo la cucina polacca ma metto quella Made in Italy al primo posto, per gusto, leggerezza e fantasia. L'unico ristorante a Cracovia dove posso trovare questi requisiti e' Aqua e Vino. Ieri in compagnia del mio ragazzo, abbiamo cenato, "come sempre", in modo impeccabile. Vino e pesce in simbiosi nel sapore. Un'esplosione di sapori in ogni singola pietanza. Buon lavoro e continuate cosi'. Bravi a tutti xxx"

"Had a lovely meal at this restaurant, I had ravioli stuffed with venison in a truffle sauce which was delicious. We also shared a great bottle of red wine, which is quite unusual to fine in Krakow as Polish people are not really big wine drinkers. The dessert of Tiramisu was huge and tasted lovely. The staff were also very attentive but not in your face."
