This is a great Italian restaurant just a few blocks from many of the hotels. Surprisingly, we got same-day reservations, while Gianni’s (which I didn’t find as enjoyable) seemed to be booked for weeks out. We loved both the brick-oven pizza and gnocchi dish. Our server, Oscar, was very personable and helpful. Only downsides were that one of our entrees took a while to come out, and their wine is surprisingly expensive (they looked to be around $18-22 per glass).

Holy Jesus!!!! This place is phenomenal and outstanding in every possible way. The decor is simple but gives the place an upscale look. The pizzas were unparalleled in taste, freshness, and presentation. Honestly, this place exceeded expectations to the extent that I find myself holding myself back from returning to order more food. Our server Juan was phenomenal and attentive. If you are looking for the best pizza on the island, pay this place a visit and you will not regret it.

Dined here twice. Both good experiences. Classic Neapolitan style pizza cooked in a beautiful oven. Ingredients fresh. Fresh pasta and tomato soup also very good. Service was pleasant and efficient. Good location just a short walk from main Palm Beach drag. Recommend making reservations as it fills up quickly.

I love traveling and trying new restaurants and this restaurant was on my list to try out while in Aruba. Lucca Trattoria is beautiful with a upscale vibe throughout the restaurant. The bartenders were amazing and were available to make any drink. I have now tried several dishes from the menu and I haven’t been disappointed yet on anything I’ve ordered with a delicious taste. My biggest downfall from the menu is the pizza and why ? Because if you order a pizza and decide to you don’t want ham on it or want to substitute it for pepperoni it’s a hefty up charge this makes ordering pizza for me disappointing and then makes it’s an over priced pizza for me. Also adding extra toppings is pretty expensive too. Don’t get me wrong the pizza is amazing and I love it with amazing flavors. I also noticed while sitting that several families came to the front entrance but weren’t greeted promptly by the hostess or by the manager and waited a long enough time in my opinion to finally get service. But my overall thought of this restaurant the atmosphere was beautiful, bartender and waiter were great and the food was delicious and that alone will definitely bring me back to this restaurant again.

We had reservations at another restaurant and got lost. They were kind enough to call a taxi for us to the other place. However, we decided to come back the next night of our stay. There are actually two restaurants Brutta Beach House and Lucca Trattoria Aruba which are owned jointly. The Brutta was a little more high-end and we decided to give Lucca a try which was more mid-range in pricing. You cannot go wrong with them. The maître de and waiters were excellent. They make you feel very welcomed to their part of the world. They checked on us frequently and provided excellent service. I had the Beef Ossobuco which was out-of-this-world while my husband had the Linguini with shrimp, lobster, garlic, and olive oil. We took some back to our hotel which had a microwave to heat it up for a lunch the next day as they provide generous portions. We liked them so much that we came back again on our last night in Aruba. From the moment we sat down, they remembered us, and Helmut, our waiter, served us again. The maître de came over a couple of times too. At the end of the meal, they offered us a complimentary digestif Limoncello. Fantastic service. Chef is fantastic! Highly recommend.

This place is a wonderful authentic Italian restaurant located by the strip of hotels in Palm Beach. Please do not go to those ultra touristy spots in the main plaza. Lucca Trattoria Aruba is the place to go for delicious food with your loved ones. Plus, there’s a lot of options for vegetarians and some of the meals can be made vegan! They have something for everyone. Parking is available in the back.

This place is a great spot and definitely fills up at regular dinner hours. I loved the food but I took a star off because the lobster on our pasta came out raw and I can’t understand how you would think that’s okay to plate. They took it back to the kitchen and fully cooked it but I don’t like we had to point it out to them. The pizza and apps were really good. Don’t get the panna cotta, it has the right flavor but not texture. The tiramisu is good for being on a Caribbean island though.

Started out great, with good service and good food but during the night it got worse. We went to celebrate my best friend’s birthday so it was just the 2 of us. Towards the middle of dinner we never saw our server again and I had put on the reservation that it was my friend’s birthday. As usual in Aruba the restaurant will come give you a dessert and wish you a happy birthday at their own cost. But i had to go ask someone else regarding the birthday situation because I assumed they had forgotten. We proceeded to wait 30 mins after dinner for the dessert because another waiter gave me signals and told me to wait. But 30 minutes is ridiculous so we ordered the check and the waitress refused to give it to us still and 15 minutes later came with a dessert and said that she owed us the candle because they ran out, this is completely ok no issue. My issue was with the bill at the end where we got charged a dessert while we waited over 40 minutes for it as it was a birthday one. If I’m going to pay for a dessert I would like to atleast choose what we are getting then. And on top of this our waitress was rude when we were paying so I decided not to say anything regarding the waiting time and the charge so we payed and walked away. But as a local this is not the experience you want to deal with since the restaurant wasn’t even that full and we were surrounded by empty tables. Would think twice before coming again.

The food here is SO good!! Our family had the cheese wheel pasta for 2, pizza, shrimp fettuccine Alfredo, and the mushroom risotto. Everyone loved their meal! The cheese wheel is quite the sight to witness being prepared, which they do table side. Desserts were incredible too. We will definitely be back. Service and atmosphere was top notch.

My one and only complaint and I am upset I didn’t say anything because I didn’t enjoy my dish at all was the linguine vongole aka pasta with clams. It was full of sand that coated my whole mouth and crunched in my teeth. There is nothing worst then having shellfish pasta with sand. Very disappointing. However everything else was decent. My boyfriend really loved his lasagna. We thought the grilled bread with pesto butter was delicious and the garden salad which we were told had onion and tomatoes . However the tomato was sliced as thin as paper. Also disappointed but it was good. We went back a few days after to try the pizza . I would give it a 5/10 . Tasted like the pizza you get in the freezer section at the grocery store and something about the cheese was off. It was far from an authentic Italian pizza . They also offer you bread as if it is complimentary but then charge you we realized this the second time we ate there . I didn’t like that as bread in most restaurants in Canada is free so it was very misleading . Not sure I would be coming back here .

Pumpkin gnocchi was incredible, full of flavor, rich sauce! Great service, staff & team work was obvious! Covered & outdoors with the biggest fan I've ever seen mounted high to keep air moving. We will be back again before we depart. Pizzas looked incredible too! Also kept our water glass full which is a small but nice touch.

wunderschönes Ambiente, sehr köstliches Essen Nachtrag: das Verhalten des Servicepersonals beim zweiten Besuch war überhaupt nicht professionell, weshalb wir keine 5-Sterne-Bewertung mehr geben können

Lucca is a great place to stop in and grab an easy meal. We grabbed a custom pizza and loved it. Thanks!

If you’re looking for a good Italian spot in Aruba with homemade pastas and traditional Neapolitan oven baked pizzas, this is your place to be! Their terrace is huge and inviting for parties of all sizes and families. Each of us ordered a pizza to ourselves so we can try each other’s and grabbed a few plates to share like the Caesar salad and the arancini. Each pizza was served with an aioli on the side to try with each bite! They have locations in Panama and Caracas.

Fantastic and authentic Italian food. A hidden gem. One of my new favorite restaurants on the island. Near Eagle Beach. Recommend

Loved the food. Had pasta with mushroom. Had some nice wine and a Lucca mojito. Service was good. I went during lunch time and it can get hot during that time. So no air-conditioning. They also have oven baked pizza. And an extended drinks menu.

What a great vibe. I ordered the pineapple bacon pizza and it was inspired. Such thin slices that were grilled to perfection, placed on top of a super thin crust with crispy bacon-- amazing. My mum got the mushroom ravioli with the cream sauce, it was very decadent. Welcoming service, will definitely be going back

Beautiful place. Delicious food! We ordered a pizza, lasagna, meat bolognese , all very great. Excellent service. The waiter Horcio? Was quick and efficient, he checked up on us and got us our food fast. I don't like waiting around when I am hungry so everything done in a timely manner which I liked. I highly recommend this place and would go again. I am glad this was recommended to us.

The best place in Aruba to eat!!! So close to all the hotels so you just have to walk their! The pasta is to die for and I would do anything to have it again. 10/10. Also a lovely bathroom!

Great food and service. Highly recommended! We went there twice and Oscar was our waiter both times. He was fantastic and was very patient with our two little kids.

Food selection related to specialty: 5/5. Everything in the menu was Italian. Quality of the food: both our meals were excellent. And I would eat them again. Drink selection: extensive cocktail and wine menu. Main course selection: you can choose from pastas and pizza. You will definitely find something to eat. Provides free appetizers (Amuse-bouches): no. Service: we experienced excellent service. The waiter was very attentive, and answered all our questions. My reservation through Open Table had birthday marked as special occasion and they included a candle for the birthday person. This is very rare, so I’d rate the service 10/10. Interior design: modern, chic restaurant. Kind of has four sections, an inside with AC, a high-too table section next to the bar, and two outside sections. The section with air conditioning is the cutest area if you’re looking for a nice photogenic setting. Exterior design: this place is easily recognizable from the street. Ambiance: it was surprisingly quiet here, I mean it was still restaurant noisy, but less than others. We are outside which is probably why it felt this way. Cleanliness: our table and surrounding were clean. The gentleman’s restroom was also clean. Value for money: you will not have any leftovers, nor will you want to leave any. Good price for location, service and food. Reservations recommended: yes. We were even able to make one same day. But we sat close to the host and saw multiple people get seated without one. Cool factor: there’s something that looks like a lounge in the back, but I didn’t get to ask the purpose, maybe a club or speakeasy? Let me know if you read this and find out. Would I visit this place again?: absolutely. Would I recommend this place?: yes, great for date night.

The bread and olive oil was great. The pizza tasted amazing but the buratta on imperial deluxe was ice cold but other than that the pizza tasted amazing the apps were great. Service was kind and friendly but could've been a little better. As in we had to ask for bread that they said they would bring to the table and the same for a soda over all good food nice environment and I'd go back
