I highly recommend this pizzeria. I've never had such a good mezzaluna before. It was prepared with real craftsmanship and passion. The owner and his wife were like family to us. You rarely experience that.
Definitely give it a try.
After a very long time, we ate in this restaurant again with the whole family. It was worth it. The food was delicious, the service was very attentive and friendly. Price reasonable. We'll definitely go there again.
Location:
The Aqua is located in the Hotel Ritz-Carlton within the Autostadt and can be reached by car or on foot from the city center/main train station in about 15 minutes. It is located in the side wing of the hotel on the ground floor, access via the hotel entrance.
Ambiance:
The restaurant has a simple, unobtrusive design, almost matter-of-fact, and offers space for around 30 guests. The tables are generously placed and there is enough distance from the neighboring tables. The view from the floor-to-ceiling windows into the almost Japanese-looking garden and over the water of the harbor basin and the Mittelland Canal to the power plant and the city center is very beautiful. The audience was very mixed, from couples to families to business people. No dress code.
Service:
A young, competent team served perfectly choreographed and at the same time very personal and attentive. Our server, who was mainly responsible for us (many thanks again for the crumbler), the advice from the sommelier and, above all, the very attentive young lady at the cheese cart were committed and their recommendations perfectly suited our taste.
We were greeted personally and, in keeping with the occasion of the evening, there was a personal card signed by the entire team on the table.
The menu:
We had asked in advance for a fish-based menu without meat, which was implemented without any problems.
The seven-course menu offered at least three courses that, from our experience, were 100% perfect in composition and execution, none of the other courses were far from perfect, the flavors were always creatively and skillfully combined, more reduced-simple than artificial; Four different types of citrus were used during the course, and the fish was prepared 100% to perfection. Impressive. The wine accompaniment was appropriately selected and was in no way inferior to the menu.
Conclusion:
A wonderfully enjoyable evening. In terms of the quality of what is on offer - according to the three stars of the Michelin Guide - it is actually worth a trip.
What - despite all the satisfaction - could possibly have further improved the overall experience would have been a somewhat more intimate lighting concept and an overall somewhat more individual, more personally designed ambience.
Thanks to the boss and his entire team for this great experience, we'll be happy to come back!
Tolles Essen, tolles Personal und es wurde sich auch um unseren Hund gekümmert. Perfekt...wir kommen wieder. Vielleicht noch mehr vegane Speisen anbieten :-)
