Rome Comes to Chula Vista as Acqua E Farina Takes Over Farmer’s Table

We’ve got some exciting news for all you foodies out there! Farmer’s Table, the brunch hotspot famous for its killer Bloody Marys, is about to become your go-to dinner destination too. Get ready to experience a taste of Rome right here in Chula Vista with the grand opening of Acqua E Farina Trattoria Romana.

Acqua E Farina Trattoria Romana

As evening approaches, Farmer’s Table undergoes a magical transformation, swapping its daytime charm for the warm, inviting ambiance of an authentic Italian trattoria.

We’re talking table-side cannoli service, a peek into the pasta-making action, and even a grand limoncello fountain. It’s like being whisked away to a cozy Roman eatery without leaving San Diego County.

A Feast for All Your Senses

At Acqua E Farina, we’re all about creating an experience that’ll make you feel like you’ve stepped right into the heart of Italy.

Watch in awe as our skilled chefs craft fresh pasta daily through a special viewing window. From pillowy gnocchi to delicate ravioli, you’ll see firsthand the love and care that goes into every dish.

And let’s not forget about dessert! Our table-side cannoli service is a showstopper. Choose your favorite fillings and toppings, and watch as your perfect cannoli comes to life before your eyes.

The best part? Our waiters serve these sweet treats from vintage-style, over-the-shoulder trays—talk about old-school Italian charm!

Bringing a Taste of Rome to Your Backyard

The mastermind behind this Italian food haven is none other than Chef Alberto Morreale. With successful spots already rocking it in La Mesa and North Park, he’s now bringing his Roman-style magic to Chula Vista.

Chef Morreale is all about keeping it real with fresh, simple ingredients that let the true flavors of Italy shine through.

“We want our guests to feel like they’ve been transported to Rome,” Chef Morreale tells us. “Every detail—from the food to the vibe—has been carefully crafted to give you an unforgettable Italian experience.”
