Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Noord, Anna-Maria’s Autentico Ristorante ItalianoClick to open side panel for more information offers one of the most intimate and unique dining experiences in Aruba. Unlike typical commercial establishments, this restaurant is located in the private courtyard of the owner’s home. Guests enter through a gated driveway and are escorted to the back terrace, which has been transformed into a charming, romantic dining area complete with a fountain and garden landscaping. The atmosphere is intentionally designed to make you feel as though you are dining at a friend’s house in Italy.
The culinary concept is strictly authentic Southern Italian, featuring family recipes passed down through generations. Owner Christian Joseph Saponara and his team take great pride in their “slow food” approach, where every dish is cooked to order using high-quality imported ingredients. The menu is famous for its traditional preparations that you won’t find elsewhere, such as the Lasagna made with slices of hard-boiled egg (a regional tradition) and the Spaghetti alla Carbonara made without cream. With personalized attention from the host and a peaceful, “no rush” environment, Anna-Maria’s is a sanctuary for those seeking genuine hospitality and flavor.
