   The best Italian food to be found in Aruba. The kitchen can be slow when they are busy, but the food is worth the wait.

   We arrived at 6:30pm, ate inside there were only 3 other couples, small inside, no one outside which had a large seating area. They brought 6 round the size of crackers toast and garlic butter after seating. We had a caprice salad that was fair, tomatoes had no taste. My dinner arrived at least 8 minutes before my wife's. I had shrimp scampi, no taste. My wife had eggplant, was ok. We left around 8pm and the outside was full, those poor souls prob were there to midnight.

   We've been there many times. Amazing food, great service, portions are huge always take some home. Wine are selected by the host and he knows his wine, never had a bad one.

   Our second visit during vacations to Aruba. Small quaint restaurant, which seems unknown to most. Very fresh authentic Italian food in a great environment. We always have the owner pick out our bottle of wine and that’s part of the fun. He clearly owns the place and cares very much about your experience. Only possible downside is pace of meal - so don’t go there if you’re in a hurry. I would highly recommend the place but then again we kind of like it unknown. 😉

   Food is very good, only things is it takes too long. Appetizer took 45 minutes and main course over an hour and a half. If you are not in a hurry, it is worth it.

   The veal saltimbocca was skimpy and very dry. Two tiny fatty pieces of veal with dry pieces of prosciutto. No sauce or flavor. The beef scallopini was ok. The side pasta was very good as was the minestrone soup (which was served after the meal). The server said it would be taken off the bill but it wasn’t. The red wine pour was generous but the wine wine was half as much. We were looking forward to a good Italian dinner and we’re disappointed. Maybe just get a pasta dish.

    We had a wonderful time visiting this restaurant on our visit to Aruba. The owner is extremely nice and helped us pick a wine bottle. The food was wonderful and the outdoor seating is amazing to experience the beautiful Aruba weather at night.
