Also acquitted was Mafia boss Vincenzo Virga.
Prosecutors, who claimed the pair acted together, had asked for two years in jail.
Dell'Utri is a former business aide of Berlusconi's and a Senator in the premier's party, which he is credited with creating in 1993.
Dell'Utri's defence team voiced optimism that Friday's acquittal would help their case when his appeal against a seven-year conviction for helping the Mafia comes before the Court of Cassation, Italy's final appeals court.
