Big news for Chula Vista locals and Italian cuisine aficionados – the community is about to witness the transformation of the beloved Farmer's Table into a new Roman-style dining spot, Acqua E Farina Trattoria Romana. Opening its doors on September 18, this restaurant metamorphosis will offer a slice of Rome in the heart of San Diego County.
As reported by ThereSanDiego, the transition at Farmer's Table isn't just in name. The restaurant will introduce evening patrons to an atmosphere and dining experience reminiscent of a trattoria nestled in the cobbled streets of Rome. Fresh pasta and table-side cannoli are on the menu, crafted with passion that the chefs are nearly visible tossing the dough through a special viewing window.
In a nod to yesteryears and pulling on Roman nostalgia, Acqua E Farina will feature servers with vintage-style, over-the-shoulder trays delivering desserts straight to your table, a quaint touch in the modern dining scene. The Acquaefarinasd Instagram post 'Stay tuned for more updates and get ready for a taste of Italy right in your neighborhood.' captures just how the restaurant plans to inject a dose of European charm into San Diego's dining landscape.
Chef Alberto Morreale helms Acqua E Farina, which is riding the wave of success from his previous culinary ventures. To bring authentic Roman flavors to California, Chef Morreale says via ThereSanDiego, "We want our guests to feel like they’ve been transported to Rome," oozing pride for the Italian tradition rooted deeply at his Chula Vista outpost. According to the restaurant's official website, the spot is a beacon of homemade Italian splendor, set in a cozy and charming setting.
Operating from 4 PM to 9 PM Sunday through Thursday and extending until 10 PM on Fridays and Saturdays, Acqua E Farina's opening is poised to enrich San Diego's diverse culinary scene, promising an experience that feels like a short trip to Italy.
