"With an eclectic small-plates menu and a progressive selection of Spanish, Italian and French wines by the glass Acqua Via offers an affordable Mediterranean tour for the price of lunch or dinner on the town."
by Ed Murrieta of The News Tribune, Tacoma, WA

"I ordered one of those dishes that I know I will always associate with Acqua Via — the duck prosciutto — a mesmerizing blend of orange coulis, almonds, butter leaf watercress, blue cheese vinaigrette, and sweet, caramelized duck bits."
by Jake & Jason de Paul of the Weekly Volcano, Tacoma, WA

"Excellent cured meats from Seattle's Salumi and a great selection of cheeses."
"Great, casual atmosphere, reasonable prices and tons of unique wine choices."
"Tasteful, casual atmosphere and well prepared food. The pastas and salads are particularly delectable. The coconut cream pie is truly heavenly."
"We were driving through Olympia for the first time, seeking out some dinner on the way to the Washington coast, when we noticed a particularly nice looking - yet down to earth - restaurant with a "cafe" sign on it. Sometimes the best meals are the complete surprises; on a road trip I'm happy to eat almost anything, but little did I know I was about to have one of the best meals of my life."
