Salads add an extra dimension to the menu’s diversity, from the refreshingly crisp Miso Noodle Salad with a vibrant medley of mixed greens, rice noodles, and a tangy miso vinaigrette, to the hearty, comforting Brussels Sprout & Kale Salad that artfully combines savory bacon with a hint of sweetness from dried cranberries and honey dressing. Sandwich lovers will find solace here too, with innovative options like the Havana Panini that melds braised pork, ham, and pepperjack cheese, or the Italian Sandwich stacked with salami and prosciutto, all served on artisan rosemary focaccia.

Acova also shines as a family-friendly destination, offering a playful kids’ menu with charmingly named dishes like “What?” (penne with cheddar) and “I Don’t Care” (pasta with red sauce), ensuring that even the littlest diners leave happy.
