How to Get a Reservation at Acquerello in San Francisco

How to land an Acquerello table
Acquerello opens its window a set number of weeks ahead. The small room means prime seatings are claimed quickly, and the openings that follow come from guests releasing tables in the final days.
- Be flexible on the night. A weeknight at Acquerello is markedly easier than a Friday or Saturday.
- Consider an earlier seating, which surfaces more often than the prime hour.
- Have a card ready so you can confirm a cancellation the instant it lands.
