It's not every day that a new waterfront restaurant opens in Southwest Florida.
And it's even more rare when it's helmed by a globally renowned chef.
You'll get both with Acqua Bistecca, which opened Wednesday, Jan. 21, overlooking Estero Bay at Saltleaf Marina in Bonita Springs.
The chic waterfront restaurant is powered by James Beard Award-winning and Michelin-starred chef Michael Mina.
"What’s happening in Estero Bay right now is nothing short of transformational," Mina said. "Luxury developments like The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Estero Bay and Saltleaf on Estero Bay are completely changing the area, drawing a new generation of people who value world-class hospitality as part of their lifestyle. Acqua Bistecca answers that demand, offering a destination-worthy experience that is both elevated and deeply rooted in the identity of the region."
