    My husband and I had one of the best meals we’ve ever had in Aruba! We went with the special for $65. I had the Empanaditas de Pollo a la Caya, Fricassee de Pollo and the Delicia de Limon for dessert (gorgeous presentation) And he had the Chicharron y Camaron, Estofado de Cordero and Tres Leches. Portions were great and our server Arleigh couldn’t have been better. Overall great experience.

    This was one of the best meals I've ever had. I had the Paccheri alla Bolognesa and my wife had the Linguini Vongole. She very much liked the linguini very much, and I absolutely loved the paccheri. I had the opportunity to visit Italy and had bolognese in Bologna. This meal was right up there with that. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was incredibly light, the meat was slightly sweet but not overly so, and paired perfectly with some chianti. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but is absolutely worth it. If we get the chance to visit Aruba again, we will absolutely come back to Lucca for dinner.
