...I was curious to return to this restaurant, because honestly, the last two times (a few years ago), I hadn't been favorably impressed.
Fortunately, I've made peace with Acqua Cheta's cuisine. We ate very well, from appetizers to dessert, and it wasn't the easiest time to achieve this, given that we were a group of 20 people and the restaurant was packed with other similar tables (it was business dinner season).
Besides the quality of the dinner, I was impressed by the organization of the dining room and kitchen staff; they managed to handle all that crowd quickly and with the right amount of attention.
The quality-price ratio was truly excellent. I'm not sure which dish was the best I ate. Perhaps the mussels stood out above all others. They're a simple dish, but precisely for this reason, hard to praise. They were by far the best I've had in Florence. The spicy calamari soup was also excellent, and the seafood spaghetti was very good. I'll have to return to try the other half of the menu (fried and grilled), which I didn't get to try because I was so full, but the other diners said everything was very good.
The only dish that, in my opinion, was inferior to the high quality of the others was the paccheri alla carbonara di mare. I have to say that if I had been the one choosing the menu, I wouldn't have chosen it, and I should point out that it wasn't a bad dish, it was just inferior to the rest.

The best seafood restaurant I've ever eaten at.
All the fish is fresh and top-quality.
The service is also excellent.
And the prices are very low.
