    The food is excellent and the staff was very polite. We had asked for seating outdoors but the rain showers moved us inside with a lot of people in a small space. Advice on the wine was superb. Don't be in hurry. Everything seemed to be made from scratch. My wife raved about the cioppino.

    A very small restaurant with pleasant staff. Some of our choices were not what we expected. (Bruschetta served on soft, untoasted bread, carbonara was watery) some at our table completely enjoyed their entree while others thought it was OK. We were not completely dissatisfied with our meal, but would not return for another meal.

    Incredibly charming atmosphere, sitting among the bottles of wine. Food was amazingly great! Owner on-site is always a plus.

    Food was amazing! This is not for you if you are looking for ambiance and fast service. If you are looking for authentic, well-made Italian food, this is your place.

    Very intimate and cute Italian restaurant. The food was so delicious! We’re from Philadelphia where Italian food is the absolute best and this place was probably one of the top Italian restaurants we’ve ever eaten at. The food was so fresh too. Normally after eating Italian, we feel stuffed and so full and on our way to the nearest bathroom, but we didn’t feel like that with this food. We’ll definitely be recommending friends and family to this restaurant when visiting Aruba. Highly recommend!

    The pasta bolognese was the best on the menu. The owner does a great job picking from his wine collection.

    A fantastic Italian restaurant! Delicious, fresh pasta, friendly service, and a cozy atmosphere. Don’t skip the homemade tiramisu—it's a must-try! Highly recommend!

    Service I must say that we saw people get an after dinner drink another person got a desert for free and then when other people walked sat down and got bread. Not a good experience. Also asked the guy to call for a taxi never did. We walked and got one.
