This place is amazing! The staff’s kindness, the food, and the atmosphere were all wonderful. It’s a very peaceful and relaxing place to visit. My only suggestion would be to update the menu design. The current menu looks a bit plain and doesn’t reflect how beautiful and special the place is. A more attractive and modern menu would better match the overall experience. Other than that, everything was excellent!
The experience was amazing! The food so delicious and all the waiters very polite and friendly! I highly recommend!!!
This is one of the absolute best Italian restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. Three of us had the chicken parm and Caesar salad. One had pasta with an Alfredo sauce. Every dish was perfection. The staff were friendly and efficient. If you are in Aruba do not miss this place. You can even watch cruise ships come and go. Beautiful weather. Beautiful people.
Amazing food and wonderful service... TIRAMISU was the highlight for our evening...
Lovely location on the water with outdoor seating. Tried the frutti di mare and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Service was also fantastic— Sol as well as the host were both very kind and accommodating and provide great recommendations for both food and drinks.
