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.

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
