Part of Aqua Restaurant Group

Two amazing cuisines, contemporary Japanese and Italian, served to your table as one fabulous experience. Aqua brings dining on a grand scale.

At our restaurant in the heart of Flatiron, just a stone’s throw from Union Square you have a choice of two restaurants serving Japanese and Italian cuisine. Order from one or both, wherever you are seated. Our menu reads Italian from the front and Japanese from the back. Our diners love to start with our signature Japanese sushi platter to share, followed by an Italian entrée and a delicious dessert. The choice is yours!

Italian and Japanese cooking match perfectly because they both share the same culinary philosophy: using the freshest seasonal produce and preparing theme simply to let their natural flavors shine. Aqua New York has two separate restaurants – Aqua Roma and Aqua Kyoto – each a master of its own cuisine to bring our unique lifestyle dining concept to your table.
