About

A modern Italian retreat rooted 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.

Everything begins with two things: water and salt

Water and salt are as old as the land of Sardinia.

These two simple ingredients form the foundation of every dish, their story passed down through generations—from grandmother to mother, from mother to daughter.

Water and salt connect us to our land, our traditions, and the flavours that nature brings to the plate.

At Acqua e Sale, we celebrate this connection through wood-fired pizzas and homemade pasta, bringing together cherished Sardinian delicacies and modern creations inspired by our chefs.

Come and experience Acqua e Sale—as nature intended: simple, authentic, and deeply rooted in the land of Sardinia.
