Our award winning Jola Eat Global Restaurant Group opened a third location in 2021. Since then, it has become a downtown hotspot with a trendy approach to the modern fine dining experience. Offering a unique combination of modern and classic coastal aesthetic in a sleek and rustic warehouse setting.

Located in Cleveland's Historic Warehouse District in the heart of Downtown, Acqua Di Luca has an innovative Italian menu with remarkably fresh seafood, unique pasta dishes, extraordinary steaks and much more.

We are excited to announce some significant changes within our restaurant family.
Acqua di Luca located at 500 W. St. Clair Avenue will be renamed Acqua di Dea.

These changes reflect our commitment to offering fresh and elevated dining. Acqua Di Dea will continue operations and ownership by Lola Jacaj.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Acqua di Dea offers "fantastic service and food," making it a top choice for special occasions. Known for its exceptional seafood and Italian dishes, the "crab risotto" and "lobster with gnocchi" are highlights. While the ambiance is lively, it can get quite loud. Despite occasional service hiccups, the restaurant remains a favorite for its vibrant atmosphere and memorable meals.

We've been to Acqua di Dea (formerly di Luca) twice before this -- at the same time of year over each of the past two years. We had outstanding experiences on previous visits, but this one was just... okay. Our server was not efficient and he wasn't particularly friendly either. When we wanted a wine recommendation, he showed little familiarity with the menu and didn't bother to ask for guidance from anyone onsite who might have known more about the bottles we were torn between. The risotto, which I'd had before, now has less king crab at the same price. And the bread, which again used to be remarkable, has changed and is now... mediocre. It was telling that when we walked in on the Saturday of this Holiday week, they were less than 50% full. Both prior visits were bustling. What was once a staple in our Anniversary weekend plans is now a thing of the past for us, and truthfully, I'm quite sad to see it fade. We expect more when paying a premium for a dining experience, so we're back on the hunt for something more special for our next visit to Cleveland.

Once a favorite, I do not think we will be returning any time soon. Menu has changed a bit and the prices have increased quite a bit. Our meal, while good, was not great. Not good enough to justify the prices (and we really don't mind spending big money on great food)

Great dinner. Service was great and attentive. Food was really good — one salmon entree was a little overcooked but the other entrees were so amazing that they totally made up for that miss. Appetizers and desserts were great too. We’ll be back.

This was hands down one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. Our waiter acted as if we were idiots every time we asked a question or asked him for something. We had no refills on water the entire meal. My friends were both celebrating their birthday and while we were grateful for the free dessert, the rest of the table didn’t get asked if they wanted dessert menus or anything. Instead we got a check with the dessert for the birthday people. My friend next to me ordered a fillet medium, and it came out well done. He hesitated to complain, but when our waiter came back, he showed him. Again, he acted annoyed and had the chef come out with a new steak and the chef insisted that he cut it right this time to ensure correct temperature. The place is a great atmosphere and would make you think you are about to have a great culinary experience. That was the only positive thing I had to say.
