Aqua Restaurant Phuket An Italian Icon in Phuket

Nestled on the seafront of Kalim Beach, Acqua Restaurant Phuket is the culinary brainchild of Italian chef Alessandro Frau and his wife. Hailing from Sardinia, Alessandro brings a creative Mediterranean flair to the table, combining traditional Italian techniques with bold, innovative twists. Each dish is not just cooked to perfection, but crafted as a true work of art—both visually and in flavor. Dining at Acqua is an experience for all the senses.

Alessandro Frau, a chef with prestige

Alessandro is no stranger to accolades. He and his team have earned numerous awards over the years. Acqua has long held the prestigious Michelin Plate, and in 2020 it was listed among the Top 20 Best Restaurants in Thailand by Thailand Tatler. Alessandro himself ranks among the Top 20 Chefs in Asia, and even competed on Iron Chef Thailand, the country’s take on MasterChef.

Thanks to its enormous success in Phuket, Acqua Restaurant Bangkok opened its doors in 2020.

The menu at Acqua Restaurant Phuket

Acqua’s à la carte menu is a symphony of flavors, offering refined dishes like Black Angus beef tartare, Catalan-style lobster salad, and vegetarian delights such as grilled eggplant. Mains include options like tender quail, red mullet, and slow-cooked beef, while desserts like Sicilian Cannoli and the signature Fior di Latte Memories make for a sweet finale. Of course, there’s a selection of freshly made pasta, risotto, and wood-fired pizza.

Acqua Signatures Degustation

For the ultimate experience, opt for the Acqua Signatures Degustation Menu. Designed for the whole table, it comes in two variations:
• ฿2,500 (excl. drinks)
• ฿3,500 (excl. drinks)
Each version is a curated journey through Acqua’s finest flavors, served with impeccable care by the warm and professional staff. Pure amore!

A stellar wine selection

A culinary masterpiece deserves an equally impressive glass of wine. Alessandro’s handpicked Italian wine list complements the menu beautifully and is reason enough for some guests to visit. Whether you’re here for a full dining experience or just an exceptional vintage, Acqua delivers in every sense.
