About Acqua
An Italian restaurant on the coast road at Kalim, a few minutes north of Patong, run by Sardinian chef Alessandro Frau and listed in the MICHELIN Guide. The menu is long: starters, fresh pastas such as burrata tortelli with squid ink and sea urchin, and pizzas from a wood oven, or a tasting menu chosen by the chef, with a wide wine list beside it. The room sits by the road, so there is no sea view. It opens for dinner every evening, and a table is worth booking in the high season.
