Acqua Restaurant | Busto Arsizio – Michelin-Starred Contemporary Seafood

Acqua Restaurant, Olgiate Olona (Busto Arsizio)

In Olgiate Olona, just outside Busto Arsizio, Acqua Restaurant offers a contemporary seafood experience that earned its first Michelin star. The restaurant is the project of Legacy S.r.l., a company founded by Andrea and Davide, who brought together diverse expertise in the food & beverage world to create a new model of fine dining.

The guiding principle is simple: let the raw ingredient speak. The kitchen, led by Executive Chef Alessandro, focuses on the day's catch, selecting premium Mediterranean fish and rare, high-quality specialties. The cuisine is described as contemporary, grounded in Italian tradition but open to international influences, from South America to Japan and the Middle East. Technique is precise, but the goal is to let the ingredient's quality shine.

Wine is a serious affair. The cellar, the result of years of passion and research by Andrea and Davide, holds over seven hundred labels. It spans Italy, France, Spain, the United States, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel, offering a wine pairing journey that places the guest at the centre of the experience.

The setting is modern and elegant, with an interior that uses wood, marble, glass, and a bioclimatic greenhouse to create a calm, refined atmosphere. The restaurant's philosophy centres on hospitality: making every guest feel welcome through professional yet familiar service. Spaces include a main dining room, a Secret Room, a Chef's Table, and gardens, all designed to offer privacy and a multi-sensory experience.

Acqua is open for dinner from Wednesday to Monday, with a Sunday lunch service. The team's dedication to quality, from the kitchen brigade to the dining room staff, has created a restaurant that feels both ambitious and welcoming.
