A modern Italian retreatrooted in Sardinia

Acqua e Sale is a modern and authentic Italian retreat inspired by the southern Italian island of Sardinia. Our cuisine is imbued with the flavours of the Mediterranean Sea and the salty mountains.

The name Acqua e Sale, meaning “Water and Salt”, reflects two essential elements in Italian cuisine, the two things that are fundamental to crafting our pizza and pasta dough.

We take great pride in offering traditional wood-fired pizza and homemade pasta dishes, each bursting with rich flavours, or “sapori”. Everything that can be made in house is made in house.

Our restaurant has received numerous accolades, including the prestigious Young Achiever of 2022 award won by our Chef Concas, and our passion has led to nominations across several other categories, showcasing our commitment to excellence.

We want our customers to feel the warmth and hospitality of Sardinian culture, and we take great pride in our service and cuisine. We hope you can appreciate the hard work and love that goes on behind the scenes.

Entrees

Freshly shucked oysters
Grilled octopus
Wood-fired porchetta

Entrees, made to share

The table starts the way a Sardinian table always has: plates in the middle, hands reaching across. Carpaccio under a sheet of pane carasau, porchetta from the wood oven, oysters shucked to order.

Almost all of it is built in house. What isn't comes off the local market that morning, which is why the raw bar changes shape from one night to the next.

Choose one of our signature combinations or create your own, with flavours ranging from the simplicity of our three-ingredient Margherita to the indulgence of king prawns and bottarga.

Baked in the heat of our wood-fired oven, each pizza is kissed by flame and smoke, creating a beautifully crisp base, bubbling cheese and irresistible char. The perfect excuse to gather around the table and enjoy another slice.

Wines, chosen for the table

The cellar follows the kitchen south. Sardinian producers sit alongside the rest of Italy, picked to stand next to wood fire and salt rather than compete with them.

There is always something open by the glass. Tell the floor team what you are eating and they will find the bottle for it.
