Caribbean Food Guide: 9 Italian food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Aruba

June 1, 2020 Merry Kessler

Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Aruba. Aruba is the quintessential Caribbean island, all sun and sea and stretches of powdery white sand. Time will slow to a pleasant crawl as you linger over a tropical cocktail or flutter serenely underwater, where only the parrotfish are in a hurry. The pastel façades of Oranjestad landmarks and shops lend an inviting and playful vibe to the capital city. Enjoy the shade of an Eagle Beach divi tree while the crashing waves of turquoise water create a soothing soundtrack just for you.

We had dinner with some friends at Gianni's the other night and it was delicious. We had the parmesan wheel pasta dish where the waiter brings out a big wheel of parmesan cheese that is hollowed out. They then add whiskey and light it on fire (which looks awesome!) They scrape the cheese wheel and then add pasta and sauce. So cheesy and tasty with a lovely presentation. The wait staff was super friendly and the food was delicious. Wish we had room for dessert!Hi Jenrsmi452, thank you for dining with us at Gianni's and for taking the time to share your experience. It is heartwarming to see people enjoying themselves so much in our restaurant. Glad you enjoyed our food and service, especially our famous Spaghetti al Formaggio experience. It was a pleasure having you here with us, and we hope to be of service to you again in the future.

My husband and I were on our honeymoon to Aruba. We had heard all the rage about how amazing this restaurant was. We decided to try it out and had the Artichoke Ripieni appetizer and the Diavola pizza. They were both amazing! What made our experience even better was the staff. They were all very welcoming from the moment we walked in. Our server Samuel was very attentive and knowledgeable when it came to the menu and the island itself. We will definitely come back for their amazing food and the great service on our next trip to Aruba!Thank you, nanibarra for letting us be part of your honeymoon and taking the time to write this lovely review. We're pleased to read that both our food and service met your expectations and left you with positive impressions. We will definitely share your compliments with Samuel, thank you for mentioning him! We look forward to having you dine with us again on your next trip to our beautiful island!

Our wine tasting was curated by Jose and it was a highlight of our trip. Jose was a wealth of knowledge, a gracious host and very thoughtful. He asked us questions to determine our ideal experience. We truly appreciated him taking the time to inform a couple of novices like us - he never talked down to us - and shared his interest and passion for wine. Thank you! We highly recommend this experience!

Went on recommendation of friends. Loved our first experience, food, service and atmosphere. Returned two weeks later and could not believe that it was the same restaurant. Service was good but nothing compared to first visit. We ordered exactly the same meal since we enjoyed it so much the first time, it was just awful! Found out that it was a substitute chef....they sent their regular one to Sole Mare, their chef was sick. People next to us were very upset about their meal as well, there were five of them and they said they will never be back. Neither will we.

"Anna-Maria's Autentico Ristorante Italiano".

Reviewed By 359antop

My wife and I are both Italian so eating at italian restaurants isn’t something we normally do since we cook at home...we were told by numerous “italians” to try the food here. We were not disappointed. The food is not over done with seasonings. Everything that we had was just like at home, simple, delicious and elegant. They take pride in their food and the quality. Remember, your eating at the owners house in their backyard. So as guests, you are well taken care of!! Btw, the homemade wine sangria is delicious and strong so be mindful of that. 5 stars to Anna-Maria’s!!!
