Our experience at Aqua Roma in NYC was outstanding from the moment we walked in. The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, with one of the most exquisite bars that immediately catches your eye. A DJ spinning right by the entrance created a vibrant, upscale vibe that made the whole place feel lively and stylish. Even though we arrived much earlier than our reservation, the staff graciously seated us right away, which set the tone for a great evening. We started with cocktails; the Rakuen and the Mai Tai Me Up both delicious, perfectly balanced, and not overwhelmingly sweet.
For appetizers, we decided to mix Italian and Japanese flavors and ordered the Arancini, Burrata, shrimp tempura, Dumplings, and a bread basket. Everything was fresh and flavorful. For our mains we had the Bucatini Cacio e Pepe, Raviolo alla Carbonara, chicken teriyaki skewers, and vegetable fried rice. Each dish was excellent, and everything was so delicious that we finished every plate completely. One of the highlights of the night was the cacao pipe, which was made and served tableside with truffles, such a fun and unique touch.
To end the night, we enjoyed a matcha latte and the chocolate cake, which had the rich, warm texture of a molten lava cake. Overall, it was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had. The service was excellent, the staff was attentive, and everyone worked together seamlessly. The manager was incredibly pleasant, and the ambience with the DJ spinning made the whole night feel special. We will definitely be revisiting Aqua Roma. ♥️

I went to Aqua Roma the day before Valentine’s Day for a Galentine’s dinner with my girlfriends and we had an absolute blast. From the moment we sat down, everything felt special and welcoming.

We ordered an array of dishes from both kitchens and truly got the best of everything. The sushi and sashimi were incredibly fresh and delicious. We also tried pizza and a variety of pastas, and every single dish was perfect. Everything paired beautifully with the red wine our server Winslo recommended. His suggestion was spot on.

Winslo was super attentive and accommodating throughout the night, making sure we had everything we needed. A special shoutout to Johnnie the manager, who made sure we were having a wonderful time. After we mentioned how amazing the food was and that we wanted to thank the chef, he kindly introduced us to one of the chefs, which made the experience feel even more personal and memorable.

Such a fun, delicious, and well run spot. We will definitely be back.

Aqua is a very large and beautiful space, with different areas like Aqua Room and Aqua fusion . It’s spacious and can definitely accommodate large parties, which is a plus. The staff was polite, and the overall atmosphere is nice.

That said, the experience was just okay. The food is fusion-style (Japanese-inspired), but nothing stood out. The drinks were fine, and the lobster roll was actually very good. Everything else was average.

Unfortunately, the service was not great. When we asked what was going on, the server mentioned that another server didn’t show up for work, which clearly affected the service. While that’s understandable, it still impacted our experience.

Overall, I’d rate it about a 5–6 out of 10. Beautiful space, okay food and drinks, but poor service. Probably good for a large group if staffing is better, but I wouldn’t go back based on our experience.

We had such a fun night at Aqua Roma! We ordered the spicy tuna roll and a lychee martini, and both were delicious. The spicy tuna roll was fresh, flavorful, and had just the right amount of heat without overpowering the fish. You can really taste the quality.

The lychee martini was light, slightly sweet, and perfectly balanced — super refreshing and easy to sip. It paired really well with the sushi.

The ambiance is definitely lively and upscale — more of a vibe than a quiet dinner spot — which made it feel perfect for a date night or girls’ night out. Service was attentive, and the presentation of everything felt elevated.

Upscale feel for great happy hour prices at the bar.
This Italian-Asian fusion restaurant offers a great atmosphere for a date night and can also be a more semi casual after work spot at the bar with great views.
The restaurant can be quite pricey but they have one of the best happy hours from 12-6pm and you can always find a spot
The fried calamari from the happy hour menu is delicious, as well as the lychee Martini
This place made it to my favorite list.

An exceptional dining experience. The sushi was exquisite, the pasta perfectly executed, and the zucchini surprisingly delicious. The cocktails were outstanding. The dessert was truly unforgettable — refined, creative, and absolutely delicious. A beautifully designed, spacious restaurant with an upscale atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Aqua was absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. Every dish exceeded expectations. From the moment we arrived, the experience was amazing; the service was warm, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. The atmosphere tied it all together—stylish, vibrant, and perfect for a memorable night out. Can’t wait to come back!

At Aquaroma, you can even order Japanese dishes from AquaTokyo, which makes the whole experience way more fun because you get to try a wide range of flavors in one place.

Honestly, every dish we tried was excellent—no misses at all. What really stood out was the food-serving performance. It felt more like a show than just a meal, and it kept everyone entertained. The place was packed and pretty loud, but that lively, buzzing energy actually made the dinner even more exciting. If you enjoy great food with a fun, high-energy vibe, this spot totally delivers.

I came here for my sisters birthday (december 23rd) and I honestly loved the food! The only thing I did not like was the chocolate dessert BUT i kindly asked for an exchange since we barely tried it and server didn’t want to do it “apparently we ate more than half of it” which doesn’t make sense since of course we were three people trying it,anyways so I went to the manager,who unfortunately I do not remember his name but he was very nice and he did the exchange! No buts no questions,runner was also very kind and we got greeted by the hostess!. And drinks were good! I got a moscow mule and their lychee martini,that was good too! Restaurant is huge,so I would say is great for big events or maybe even happy hours at the bar,which is so cute too. My only suggestion is to change the type of chocolate on that dessert and maybe instead of charging extra for the bread basket,they should give it as a free side whenever you order pasta. Just a thought!

Saw the brunch special and was captivated by the presentation (on social media)
Upon arrival the interior design was nice, with a large interior dining area.
It was a preset menu besides the entree (which has a good selection) we went with the lobster roll and the truffle pizza which was delicious definitely recommend.
The sushi platter and fruit platter lived up to the presentation, esthetics 10/10 and fresh.
Only issue I had was with organization of service, when the sushi platter arrived, condiments didn’t arrive with it, and when we finished the platter, the condiments arrived, besides that everything else was great.
