    Small establishment with very nice workers. Close quarters inside very little privacy. Food was very good and good portions. Slow service but worth the wait.

    Very nice typical house and the best Italian restaurant in Aruba! The foods are very good and service excellent. We ate our diner on the outdoor terrace but inside the old house is very typical. I recommend this restaurant! Johny from Canada

    It was amazing, we really enjoyed the food and the service was exceptional. They really know how to make you feel welcomed. Also, the burrata was amazing and all the handmade pasta was incredible. I definitely recommend the whole experience.

    Had reservations at 8 pm- only 2 people working the tables - the owner and one waitress. There are over 20 tables of customers to be served. We sat at 8-owner never asked our names; oblivious to an open table reservation. Water and 2 glasses given - no order taken for a1/2 hour, no food served at 9:30- a hour and half later. Got up and left.

    The setting alone in an historic house was charming enough to rate five stars! Indoor dining is cozy with six tables but nice outdoor area with more. The food was excellent and the staff very accommodating. Would highly recommend!
