Our server Margarita was fantastic! Her service was great as was her personable pleasant demeanor. The food was quite good we ate it all!
We came in at 9:27pm. I'm glad they still let us in because the restaurant closes at 10 pm. After placing our orders, we were given fresh baked dinner rolls. Those were so good. I already forgot to ask for balsamic and olive oil dip. Tried their white sangria, french onion soup, grouper, and shrimp risotto (had a lemon sauce, that's refreshing), fettuccine alla salmone for my daughter, but the highlight of her meal was the french onion soup. We also enjoyed our pepper steak, cooked medium as I requested, perfect! Service crew were really friendly and attentive. The price is reasonable.
Okay, it was pricey. The restaurant was clean but, very cold feeling. All the colors were white and gray with a few splashes of green plants suck in the corner. The do have gluten free noodles but, honestly nothing was special about this restaurants food. I asked the lady in the front if they have complimentary salad (I’m gluten free and cannot have the complimentary bread) she said yes yes. They don’t……. The service was okay. Our waitress was with a repeat table and we fell to the wayside but, the water girl was on top of filling the waters. She was great. The Tour plate was small. The bread was a cheap heat and serve bread rolls. Which is odd with so many bakery’s on this island they can’t get better rolls. We relented and went to Gloria. Not a location we would go to again. My meal was bigger than the way more expensive Tour of Italy Plate.
Staff was super friendly. Location was quiet and private. Food was absolutely delicious! We had the Pollo alla Mushrooms and the Alfredo with Chicken. Nicely seasoned. Will go again!
Fabulous made to order food. There is a wait time from placing your order while they prepare your dish, but well worth the wait. We were thankful for the slight breeze while dining outside to keep the flies away that kept trying to dine with us. Bus boy was extremely attentive and alerted staff when we needed anything. We plan to eat here again before we leave Aruba.
