Mina Group is hiring: Restaurant Manager in Estero Bay Shores

Acqua Bistecca is a restaurant where wood‑fired steaks and pristine local seafood take center stage, all through the lens of refined Italian influence. The menu reflects a balance of land and sea—’ACQUA’ and ‘BISTECCA’—celebrating the bounty of the Gulf and the warmth of the grill. From stone crab claws with house‑made mustard to delicately charred steak brushed in red Lambrusco butter, each dish is rooted in tradition yet reimagined with elevated, modern touches.
