Gasparito Traditional Aruban Restaurant

Delicious meal. Enjoyed everything: appetizers, soup, main entrees as well as dessert. I would highly recommend the Aruban platter. The goat stew is too good. The meat was tender, lean and delicious. The fish was amazing. The host was really entertaining and hospitable.

This restaurant is quintessential Aruba! Truly local, authentic food, and service that makes you feel like family. The seafood was obviously great but Alicia’s Fish soup and the Stoba Di Bestia (goat) were the super stars! If you are lucky enough to grace Reimundo’s presence, I am immediately jealous!

I usually rate pretty high. The service was excellent. Very friendly waitress and the owner was very nice. We had the place to ourselves - which should have tipped us off. The food was very very salty. Pretty good flavor and taste, but there are too many other better choices here on Aruba for me. Won’t be back.

Outstanding typical Aruban Restaurant! The food was excellent - authentic and well made. Really delicious shrimps, both fried and with coconut sauce. My boyfriend loved the goat stew. Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the beautiful courtyard! Inside there are Aruban’s artworks on the walls. The owner Raimundo entertained us with riddles and nice chats about his story while we waited for the food. Unfortunately for us and luckily for him, he will retire soon - hopefully the chef and the positive vibe will remain!

Gasparitos is amazingly good! The coconut shrimp, garlic bread, ribs with homemade sauce and fish in Creole sauce are to die for!! Their desserts are homemade too and great. Amazing staff!!! They are only opened on Wed & Sat right now from 6-8:30pm and you have to make a reservation. I’m looking forward to going a second time before I leave!!!

The food was amazing! Probably the best in Aruba if you’re looking for authentic local dishes :) The owner is really nice and funny. Also, there was an old couple next to us that told us that they’ve been coming here for 20+ years - that’s how you know how good the place is! I highly recommend it :) The place is cute too.

The royal Aruban combo player was delicious! Goat, fish, and shrimp all in one platter. The food was great and we also very much enjoyed chatting with the owner. He seems to genuinely love meeting people and seeing people enjoy their food. Definitely would recommend!

Dinner in the final weeks of this restaurant felt like such a treat!!! The owner lived up to the hype in terms of his friendliness and hospitality and the food was incredible! It’s such a loss that this restaurant is closing soon.
