“ First time here for all of us - we came to celebrate Mother's Day (3/31). Our server, Becca (BEX on the receipt) was excellent and service was top shelf. Not a big crowd, but we dined early. Appetizers to be shared consisted of the Deviled Egg Trio (good, but a little overpriced for what we received), Mixed Greens and Caesar Salad. Entrees: Crabcakes, Spicy Vodka Rigatoni, Braised Beef over Pappardelle and Pan Seared Salmon. Overall, our meals were very good. Desserts consisted of Tres Leches and Raspberry Mousse. Coffees as well. Acacia is BYOB. A good first experience and we will be back. ”

“ Excellent experience. The staff is very accommodating. They ensured dietary issues were addressed. Meals were delicious; we appreciated the seasonal menu. We will definitely be back. ”

“ The food was excellent. It was tasty/flavorful without being salty. It's spotless inside, and everyone is attentive. Byob is a huge plus! ”

“ Our server Becca (Becs?) was the sweetest and loveliest server who made our first time at Acacia last night a wonderful experience. We are new to the area and wanted to find a nice restaurant to visit, and thankfully we found it right down the street. The duck egg rolls were phenomenal-- that sauce is what dreams are made of. I then had the duck for my entree and my husband had the spicy vodka rigatoni-- my LORD the flavors amongst these dishes! Such a great dinner overall! ”

“ Came here for New Years Eve dinner. They had a pre fixed menu of four courses, I had the lobster bisque, Caesar salad, truffle cacio e pepe, and the crème brûlée. The lobster bisque was very tasty and had chucks of lobster in it! Caesar salad was just a regular salad, it did what it was supposed to do. The truffle cacio e pepe was very flavorful and decadent. The pasta wasn't cooked el dente but the sauce made up for it. I didn't get to try the crème brûlée because we had to go but they wrapped it up. The only down fall was how long it was between courses, we had a late reservation so I'm sure that they were slammed the whole night and were over it by the time we got there. Which is why we had to wrap up or dessert. Our server was super nice and I thought the place had a cute vibe to it! I would def go back to try out other food that wasn't on the pre fix menu! ”

“ We just had our daughters baby shower at Acacia and it couldn't have been better! Lauren took care of all the details down to the personalized menu and the delicious cake. The two servers were so awesome! They went above and beyond to make sure our event was perfect, and it was! Host your next shower, birthday party or holiday event at Acacia and you and your guests will be thrilled! ”

“ BYOB! Husband and I wanted to venture out of Princeton downtown for a good Italian restaurant that wasn't too far of a drive. Acacia was recommended to us and we decided to make a reservation. I was looking for a good pasta carbonara around the area that wasn't too greasy or eggy. Also, I was looking for gluten-free friendly options which Acacia mentioned in their reviews. Ordered the Strawberry Arugula Salad, Bucatini Carbonara, and Salmon. Everything was delicious. I was also told the pastas are homemade and you can tell by the freshness of it. The carbonara was a little underwhelming at first impression but The pancetta and green peas were hidden underneath the homemade bucatini. Was not expecting much at the first bite but I was wrong. The bucatini was so fresh and the carbonara was well-prepared and seasoned-exactly what I was craving that night. I had a taste of the Salmon and it was prepared and flavored well. Staff checked up on us frequently. We are definitely going back! ”

“ I've driven by this place for years and wanted to try it because it looked cute and usually packed. Finally, our family went last night without reservations and were seated right away. The menu looked great and we needed some time to decide. We started with the tomato/eggplant soup that was smooth and creamy texture with a rich flavor. There was a slight bitterness to it but not enough that I wouldn't order again. Also to start, we got the warm beet salad with chicken and it was delicious. The chicken was really great quality and cooked perfectly. I never thought I would be writing about chicken on top of a salad but it was that good. Even the picky teen loved it. The starters ended up being shared since it took took a while to get them so we were hungry. For entrees we got the burger, rigatoni, cacio Pepe spaghetti, beef parpadelle. All the pasta is homemade and we all enjoyed our entrees. The rigatoni was not the usual shape I'm used to and had a tangy and sweet balsamic sauce. (Forgot to take a pic at the restaurant but got one of the leftovers at home) My daughter liked it but the the flavors are on the strong side and little unusual. I think this might be better for sharing. The burger was perfect! Perfect size, great taste and served with hot fresh fries. I enjoyed the cacio/pepe spaghetti with great truffle flavor. It could've used some salt though. The parpadelle was so good with fresh pasta and tender beef! It could've used more sauce since not all the pasta had a good coating. It had gotten late and the restaurant was almost empty after our entrees so we debated if we even wanted dessert but ended up getting the salted caramel creme brûlée. Let's just say my teen wants to come back and just get 4 salads and 4 crème brûlée. It was just that good. Service was slow but think restaurants are struggling with the pandemic. Everyone was friendly and accommodating so no complaints there. There is outdoor seating with heat lamps but we sat indoors. It was cold indoors since the door to the patio kept opening for service. We would absolutely go back. We enjoyed the food, even though some slight adjustments are needed, and friendly service! ”
