We had a wonderful experience at Acqua in Basel. The place is stunning – an old water pumping station turned into a stylish industrial-chic restaurant with a lovely terrace. Perfect atmosphere for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the Italian-inspired dishes were beautifully presented with fresh, high-quality ingredients. We especially enjoyed the pasta and seafood options. The only small downside is that it can get a bit noisy when it’s busy, and sometimes service takes a little longer. Overall, a great spot in Basel that I would definitely recommend!

Menu and ambiance looked very promising for our business dinner, but in the end it was a disappointing experience. The appetizers were nice (but not spectacular), and then it took long for the mains to arrive. Meanwhile nearly everybody was running out of drinks but no waiter checked on us for a while. I was possibly unlucky with my choice of meal, but the salmon was burnt on the outside and tasteless on the inside, served with overcooked potatoes and vegetables. The pistachio ice cream that I had for dessert was so hard that you nearly needed a chisel to eat it. A nicely presented grappa closes out the meal.

I visited this wonderful place last year. I recommend coming in the dusk/evening as the place is beautifully set out and atmospherically lit. The food was fantastic; I had scallops that were cooked to perfection, then rabbit, which was melt in the mouth. I can't recall the wine we selected but it was excellent. If anything, it's a little bit pricey, but it's a wonderful place to go for a romantic meal or special occasion.

Ich habe mit mir gehadert, ob drei oder vier Sterne, habe mich dann aus folgenden Gründen für drei entschieden. Wir hatten gestern ein Geschäftsessen, für mich war es mein erster Besuch im Acqua und ich weiß auch nicht, ob ich noch mal dorthin gehen werde. Ambiente und auch das Personal absolut top. Das Personal ist präsent, sehr freundlich, aufmerksam, sehr flexibel da gibt es nichts auszusetzen.

Das Essen war qualitativ gut, aber hier gibt es einige Beanstandungen, die in dieser Preisklasse einfach nicht sein dürfen.

Die meisten bei uns am Tisch haben sich für das Rinderfilet entschieden. Leider hatten wir sehr unterschiedliche Größen vom Fleisch und da wir alle den gleichen Preis bezahlen müssen, denke ich kann man erwarten, dass auch alle die gleiche Menge bekommen. Mein Garpunkt war für mich perfekt, bei anderen war es drüber.

Das absolute Highlight auf dem Teller war die Trüffelsauce da hätte ich am liebsten eine ganze Schüssel von gegessen und so ging es uns allen am Tisch.

Auf der Karte hieß es, dass es glasierten Brokkoli, Romanesco und Blumenkohl gibt. Das Gemüse war vom Garpunkt perfekt schön bissig, nicht verkocht. Allerdings war von glasiert nicht die Spur vorhanden. Es war lediglich trocken gedämpft.

Die Kartoffelspalten waren leider auch nicht der Bringer auf dem Teller. Kartoffeln entwickeln, wenn sie vor gegart waren, je nachdem, wie lange sie liegen einen ganz eigenen, sehr unangenehmen Geschmack. Drei meiner Spalten waren demnach wohl schon länger gegart sie waren nicht genießbar.

Als Dessert hatte ich Schokoladensorbet mit Chillichutney! Auch das war vorzüglich. Die Balance zwischen süße und Schärfe war perfekt getroffen. Allerdings wurden rund um das Sorbet Pinienkerne gestreut, die es eigentlich so oder so gar nicht gebraucht hätte, Kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag, gehackte Pistazien würden viel besser passen, und die Pinienkerne waren furchtbar ranzig. Ein Probierer vorab in der Küche hätte das Desaster verhindert.

Last but not least lassen leider auch die Sanitäranlagen zu wünschen übrig. Die Damentoilette ist extrem eng. Man hat kaum Platz, wenn alle drei Toiletten belegt sind, die Türen kleben, egal wo man hin fasst und relativ schnell gab es kein Toilettenpapier mehr. Hier ist so viel Personal unterwegs, dass ich finde, dass man durchaus zwischendrin mal nach dem Rechten schauen könnte vor allem bei dieser Vielzahl an Gästen, die sich dort aufhalten. Anhang: die Gäste vom Restaurant nebenan benutzen das WC wohl mit, wurde mir inzwischen mitgeteilt. Das macht es noch unverständlicher, dass hier nicht kontrolliert wird!

Summa summarum, ganz nett. Aber, wie gesagt, in dieser Preisklasse dürfen gewisse Dinge einfach...

We came here for a dinner with friends in december 2023.

I do not understand, how a chef can put such a little menu together with such abnormal and special tastes... pulpo, rabit etc... it was hard to find something... extremely pricy! CHF 19 for a antipasti starter which had like 3 salami slices and 3 prochutto di parma slices and one tiny piece of fried vegetable. Staff was very rude (talking about the non-german speaking server who did our check out). he was pissed that we payed separately (which is a normal thing that occurs on a normal daily basis in a restaurant). we also waited for an our for the food. Even the beer took like 15' to be brought to the table. it is very sad to see this place going down after we've had such good experiences in the past (weddings, private party etc!) I hope something will change here very soon! we are, unfortunately, not...

Cocktail was alright. They were not very impressive and seemed to be made quite arbitrarily by the bartenders without much sophistication. However, considering this place is much like a club, the quality was okay. This place is tourist trap. We ordered 3 drinks and they charged us 105CHF. When we asked about it and showed them the menu and price, they gave us 30CHF back but was still so much more expensive than what we should pay (48CHF). The service was not too great, especially at the beginning. The bartenders were not very approachable and ignored us and told us 'I'm serving this customer!!' -- worst bartending service I have...
