The story
Acqua e Farina, on via Vaccari in Vicenza, has earned recognition from Gambero Rosso — Italy's most authoritative food guide — with a 2-slice rating in 2022. That distinction places it among a select group of pizzerias that the guide considers worthy of a dedicated visit.
Water and flour: the two ingredients at the heart of great pizza. The name Acqua e Farina signals a focus on the fundamentals — dough, technique, and the craft of turning simple ingredients into something worth travelling for. In a country where pizza is both a daily staple and a serious art form, earning Gambero Rosso recognition is a meaningful measure of quality.
The restaurant sits at via Vaccari 110, in Vicenza — a city in the Veneto region more often celebrated for Palladian architecture than for its food scene. Acqua e Farina is a quiet but firm argument that the city's table deserves equal attention.
