Some of the best Italian food we’ve had anywhere. And $39 wine bottles are a great value. At owner’s suggestion, we had a red blend that was truly outstanding. Went back. 2 nights later and had another memorable dinner. Definitely a new Aruba staple for us.

It was a lovely evening in Aruba. We dined outside on a beautiful evening. All of the food was made to order and the pasta was homemade. Very rustic and delicious food.

Our tenth year coming here and it remains a favorite. Even with Mauro away for a few days the staff made it seem as if he was right there. The usual excellent food and service. We’ll return, and recommend to others.

This place is a must - character galore and absolutely amazing food. I met a super couple at Bucuti who have been coming to Aruba for 10 years (this is our first time) and they recommended this place and then today, sea turtle excursion guide recommended it so we went and cannot say enough. Portions huge/taste is delicious of everything and owner is the chef and server...takes pride in his work. Do not hesitate to go here!!
