Gianni's Ristorante Italiano

Gianni's was our top meal experience in a week long stay in Aruba. We arrived at 6:30 with no reservations and were seated immediately. My wife, 7 year old son and I loved everything about Gianni's. Everything was great. My wife ordered lasagna (which is not currently on the menu but they will make for you special order) and she claimed it was the best lasagna she ever had! I started with a great bowl of pasta fagiloi and had an entree of gnocchi with spicy arabbiata sauce which was fantastic. My son ordered spaghetti and meat balls----the child size portion was big enough for two adults! Great experience, great atmosphere----highly recommended!

What a Nice Surprise!! I honeslty am always a bit skeptical about eating Italian when I go to any island, as my family is Italian and I am from Northern, NJ - which has the largest selection of Italian Restaurants is the country. We were very pleased with the nice atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors, nice size portions, excellent selection on menu and extremely affordable pricing. Definitely a nice change of pace from all the steaks, chops and seafood restaurants on the island.

This will have to be my top choice for this trip this year. Ambiance plus!! Staff if friendly and very attentive. I would say though I don't think it's the right place for little kids at night. The food is excellent as well as the presentation. I chose the Veal which is how I rate any Italian restaurant I go to. If they can make good Veal then chances are they do everything well. The best Veal on the island is still Chalet Swiss. This comes in a close second for flavor but it was a little too thin for my liking. The other members in my party raved about their dishes one of which was the Lobster Thremadore. If you can make it to desert they have a great selection.

Similar to Sole Mare. food was good as was the service. we split the bruchetta. husband had veal with pasta and I had a pasta/mushroom dish. 3 drinks and dessert was a chocolate covered salami with almonds, peanuts and a chocolate sauce. very interesting although I never detected the salami in the dessert. $100 with tip

My husband was looking for pasta for dinner. We walked down the block to Gianni's. No reservations. We were seated within five minutes. We found the staff to be friendly, efficient and attentive. Lots to choose from on the menu. Not your typical "tourist Italian restaurant". Food was excellent. It was a little pricey but I would definitely go back.

Wow..this was a nice surprise. This was a very good Italian restauarnt. My pasta was properly al dente and my husband's polenta was nicely cooked (not at all runny) One of the best tiramisu I've had

very fast paced service our waiter wasnot friendly the food was very good the drinks were ok i would go bak just bc of the food being italian i kno good italian food n this place has it

Two words: Tourist trap.

Food was good but not the service. The only time we interacted with the waiter was when we ordered our meal. He got lost several times, even had trouble trying to pay the bill.

We had a 7:00 reservation for 2 made by the Marriott Concierge for Saturday, 2/23. We were seated promptly. The service was a little confusing in the beginning, but then straigtened out. The food was delicious. Definetly on our list of restaurants for our yearly vacation in Aruba. Also, must mention Daniels which is connected to Gianni's. It's a steak and chop restaurant. But they will serve off of Gianni's menu if requested. They share the same kitchen. The food and service was excellent at Daniel's. The filet mignon was great. Another restaurant to add to our list! And, there was no waiting line. It just opened and is starting to "catch on".
