What’s in a name? At Ristorante & Pizzeria Acquerello in Landquart, when a dish carries our name, it carries the essence of our culinary philosophy: authentic Italian flavours, quality ingredients, and that touch of passion that turns a meal into a memory.
While our entire menu is crafted with care, there are a few special creations that we’ve proudly named “Acquerello.” These aren’t just dishes; they’re invitations to experience the heart and soul of our kitchen. Let’s take a closer look at what makes them the quintessential taste of Acquerello:
The Acquerello Salad: A Fresh & Hearty Start
Forget predictable greens. Our Acquerello Salad (Menu Page 3) is a thoughtfully composed starter that balances freshness with satisfying textures and flavours.
We start with tender lamb’s lettuce, adding crispy bacon, crunchy homemade bread croutons, satisfying hard-boiled eggs, and a sprinkle of mixed seeds for extra texture and nutty notes. It’s a salad with character, perfect for whetting your appetite or enjoying as a lighter, yet substantial, bite.
Acquerello Fresh Spaghettini: Chef Recommended Sunshine
Recommended by Chef Artan himself, the Acquerello Fresh Spaghettini (Menu Page 4) is a vibrant pasta dish that sings with the taste of the Mediterranean.
Imagine perfectly cooked fresh spaghettini tossed with succulent shrimp, tender zucchini, sweet cherry tomatoes, and a hint of aromatic turmeric that adds a unique warmth and colour.
It’s a beautiful harmony of fresh seafood, garden vegetables, and delicate spice – a true representation of refined, flavourful Italian cooking.
The Acquerello Hamburger: An Italian Twist on a Classic
Who says an Italian restaurant can’t master the burger? Our Acquerello Hamburger (Menu Page 4) elevates this comfort food favourite with premium ingredients and a distinctive Swiss touch.
The star is a juicy 180g Swiss limousine beef medallion, known for its quality and flavour. We build it up with classic lettuce and tomato, add depth with sweet caramelized onion and savoury crispy bacon, then introduce a delicious twist: melted Raclette cheese!
Finished with a tangy barbecue sauce and served with fries, it’s a gourmet experience that’s both familiar and uniquely Acquerello.
Acquerello Pizza: Bold Flavours from the Wood-Fired Oven
Baked to perfection in our traditional wood-fired oven, the Acquerello Pizza (Menu Page 5) is a testament to flavour balance.
On our signature digestible dough (leavened for over 24 hours), we layer classic tomato and mozzarella before adding toppings that create a truly memorable taste profile: zesty spicy salami, a touch of luxurious creaminess from mascarpone, fresh, peppery arugula added after baking, and sharp, salty shavings of Parmigiano Reggiano.
It’s a sophisticated combination where spicy meets creamy, and fresh meets savoury – a real signature slice.
Experience the Signature Taste
These four dishes, each bearing the Acquerello name, offer a direct glimpse into what we cherish most: quality ingredients (like Swiss Limousine beef and Raclette), authentic techniques (like our wood-fired pizza oven and fresh pasta), and balanced, delicious flavours crafted with passion.
