What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners praise Hostaria da Vittorio for its authentic Italian cuisine and charming ambiance, often calling it a standout on the island. Many highlight specific dishes like lasagna and penne in vodka sauce, and appreciate the open kitchen concept. However, some reviews mention inconsistent service, with staff sometimes appearing forgetful or disengaged, and a few found the food to be average for the price, suggesting other restaurants might offer better value.
"We loved this place. Quaint little family restaurant and such great food. My wife said her lasagna had some of the best sauce she's ever had. My bocconcini di pollo was also great. We enjoyed the flavor more than Giannis. We also had a great table to watch everything being cooked and prepared for each order, which was fun"
Brandon Sanders
"A very nice setting in the outside dining area but the staff seemed to be either new to the establishment or did not seem to work well as a team. The staff kept forgeting items we requested and our original waiter seemed annoyed and / or too tired to be at work. He did not seem to believe in or trained properly in the customs of friendliness of the restaurants we visited during our week stay in April 2025. They offer pizza made in a brick oven and it was really good."
Alex Masciana
"This restaurant has very nice and cozy outdoor seating. The atmosphere was calm and there was no loud music that we loved. The service wasn't very smooth. I had ordered my food with some alterations but they ended up doing what they wanted so I couldn't enjoy my food and that's what brought my food ratings to 3 stars. I would go here again but only to eat pizza because the one we got was very good."

I wouldn’t have expected to find this in the Caribbean, but for a real Italian meal in an authentic setting, this restaurant is the place to be!. Italian food is among my favourites, so I was very excited to have lunch here, and when we arrived the entrance immediately transported us to Italy, as you can see here:. You have to taste it yourself to fully understand what I mean, but believe me when I say I truly had some of the best pasta and burrata here to date!

Seeing as these Aruba restaurant reviews are all so enthusiastic – given the food on Aruba is amazing – here’s a 4 star review from me, to keep the balance. Hostaria Da’ Vittorio was probably my least favourite on this list of the best restaurants in Aruba, but that’s mainly down to the fact I wanted relaxed beachy vibes. Hostaria Da’ Vittorio is set back a bit from the beach, and quite a heavy meal and menu.
