Hostaria Da Vittorio

World class food and service!
This is our favorite restaurant not only in Aruba, but on the planet.
I have followed Master Chef Vittorio for over ten years from Valentino's to Hostaria Da Vittorio. Every dish is prepared with high quality ingrediants by Vittorio and his assitants right in front of your eyes.
The servers are great and make you feel right at home.
Our favorite dish is Ossobucco Alla Milanesa, (a veal dish served with Rissoto) - it is to die for ! We will return to Aruba this summer and plan to dine at Hostaria Da Vittorio several times. Tony & Bonny Eastvale, California

Superb food!!!
yes,it's a little expensive but the quality is worth the price.

After reading the ads, and seeing the prices, I was expecting a more authentic Italian meal. We had the chef special for $28.00 which was packaged pasta (at that price I was expecting homemade egg based) with a good sauce, but overloaded with cheese, with a bit if basil. I would have had no issue at half the price, but feel they are over priced for what you get. Even the Parmesan is not fresh grated. The service was good

We agree this was OUR FAVORITE pace to eat after a week in aruba.
We chatted with other americans about where to eat in aruba and one couple from boston said they liked Hoastaria de Vittorio so much they have already been twice.
Does not look like much from the outside but inside the kitchen is visible.the staff had pressed white shirts and black pants. Ice cold water brought right to us with a special pizza crust like bread with oil as a free starter.
4 adults and (1) 3 year old ALL enjoyed a fantastic meal!
Yummy pasta, lasagna, chicken parm, and salads on top of great service made this our top pick. Yes, overpriced as are all the other placed in palm beach ( and aruba in general ) but well worth it!
Also 10% off to marriot point holders taken with a smile.

Every time we are in Aruba, we go here for dinner. It's the best Italian food on the island. I've sampled many dishes and all are excellent!

My wife and I had come here in May, 2011 and had an excellent meal, however this September was another story. We were anticipating another wonderful dinner and were disappointed in both our meals. We are not sure if their main chef is on vacation since this is a slow time of year but based on our dinners this week we would not return. Our waiter also tried to tell us the "service charge" which is included in your bill is not a part of his tip. It was a very disappointing experience.

Food is less than average, but what really surprised us was the rude attitude of our waiter. I ve heard some bad things and some great things about this restaurant. I agree completely with the bad reviews. they have a great location and could have a great restaurant, but they have to start with customer service. and they completely lack of it ! food was not bad, but as I said less than average. Nothing to come back to...

We dined at this restaurant 2 years ago and were so pleased, we visited twice. After reading the reviews, we were hesitant to try it again this year, but went and were extremely happy we did. The service was excellent, from the bar to the table. The food was wonderful - the Ossobucco and risotto was as perfect as we remembered. We were a party of 7 and had 2 small children. It couldn't have been a better meal!

Great Italian Food! Been going there for 10 years which accounts for 30 trips to this restaurant and always a great meal. Authentic Italian dishes, the food is always fresh and well prepared. They always remember who we are and go out of there way to make us happy.

We had never been disappointed at this restaurant - until this year! What once was an excellent Italian eatery has become a mediocre Italian eatery and we do not know why. Something was missing this year. The food was good but not "abondanza" and not great. We like to write such experiences off as bad nights, but part of the issue was that the menu has been unchanged for some time and some of the better dishes simply are no longer available
- UPDATE THE MENU and stop teasing people! It has been two years since we have been able to get sea bass here and that is not a simple unavailability - it is something else and we are concerned as to what it may mean. We will return next year to see how things are going but we were disappointed this year and greatly concerned as to what next year may bring. We sincerly hope that the restaurant is not in decline but we fear otherwise and it would be a shame to see it go because it has been the only consistently credible Italian restaurant in ARUBA.
