del.icio.usThe latest addition to the list of Brooklyn’s
"finer diners" is Acqua.
Opened in Downtown Brooklyn in late April by Nando Ghorchian,
who owns the Caffe Buon Gusto restaurants in Brooklyn Heights
and Manhattan, Acqua ("water" in Italian), offers diner
fare and more esoteric Italian diner dishes in a chic setting.
The room sports expansive windows, exposed brick walls and blond-wood
floors; but Ghorchian hasn’t forgotten to give his space a dose
of greasy spoon nostalgia with comfortable, blue-leather booths.
Those looking for a meat fix can enjoy a cheeseburger (or veal,
turkey or chicken burger) and a glass of wine from the mostly
Italian wine list.
Since the manic depressive weather seems to have transformed
into sunny blue skies, the clientele can also sit outside on
the spacious wood deck and feast on grilled salmon over a bed
of arugula with nicoise olives; or cod with porcini mushroom
broth and sauteed spinach.
Can’t decide on low-brow or upscale dining? Banish all thoughts
of yourself in a bathing suit and order the hot fudge sundae.
Acqua (111 Court St. between State and Schermorhorn streets)
accepts Visa and MasterCard. Acqua serves breakfast, lunch and
dinner, seven days a week from 7 am to 10 pm. Entrees: $7.95-$15.95.
For reservations, call (718) 858-1277.
