Acqua Al 2 Announces Mother's Day Menu

April 26, 2012

This Mother’s Day, authentic Italian ristorante Acqua Al 2, which owner and executive chef Martin Gonzalez created to be a replica of its namesake restaurant in Florence, Italy, will host a special prix fixe Mother’s Day menu. Located at 322 5th Ave in the Gaslamp Quarter, Acqua Al 2 is invariably Italian in influence when it comes to its worlds-away cuisine, design and service.
