About Agrigento Ristorante Italiano
Agrigento Ristorante Italiano is an Italian restaurant on the grounds of the Aruba Racquet Club in Noord, a ten-minute drive inland from the Palm Beach hotels. The kitchen serves dinner only — Monday to Saturday, 6:00 to 10:00 pm, closed Sunday (hours per the restaurant’s Google listing, October 2026). Dining options include dine-in, takeout and reservations. Address: Rooi Santo 21, Noord, Aruba. Phone: +297 699 4465 or +297 593 3037, the numbers the Racquet Club publishes for reservations.
The full menu — checked October 2026
Agrigento has no website of its own — the menu below is transcribed from the full menu the Aruba Racquet Club, the club the restaurant sits in, publishes on its Agrigento page (menu pages posted January 2026, checked October 2026). One honest warning before you book: the published menu prints no prices at all, and Google carries no typical-spend estimate for this restaurant either, so confirm prices when you reserve — Tripadvisor bands it mid-range to upscale on its price scale. Dishes marked “when available” are exactly that: the kitchen drops them when the ingredient is not fresh.

Our verdict
Agrigento is the quiet-table alternative to the Palm Beach strip: an old-school Italian dinner menu — red-sauce pastas, grouper two ways, a pistachio-crusted lamb rack — served on the Racquet Club grounds about ten minutes inland from the high-rise hotels. It is dinner only, Monday to Saturday 6:00 to 10:00 pm, and closed on Sunday, so do not plan a Sunday night around it. A proper kids’ menu and a takeout option make it one of the easier family dinners in Noord, and the dessert list is the most Sicilian thing on the island — the cannolo and the chocolate salami with gelato are the tell.
The caveat is prices: the club publishes the full menu with no figures, so ask when you book. Reserve ahead on +297 699 4465 or +297 593 3037 — the dining room is small and the club crowd books it solid in high season — and remember parties of eight or more pay a 20% service charge. A 4.5-star average across 201 Google reviews (checked October 2026) is a strong signal for a restaurant this far off the tourist track.

Practical details worth knowing
Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt, which is why the weather here stays reliable when much of the Caribbean does not. The island runs on the US dollar alongside the Aruban florin, so American visitors rarely need to change money, and English is spoken almost everywhere alongside Dutch, Papiamento and Spanish.
Distances are short. The island is roughly 32 kilometres long and 10 wide, so nothing is more than about 40 minutes from anywhere else. Most visitors base themselves on Palm Beach or Eagle Beach and reach the rest of the island by tour or rental car.
When to go
Rates and crowds peak from January through April. May to early December is quieter and noticeably cheaper, with calmer seas and the same near-constant sunshine. Rainfall stays low year-round, and what does fall tends to arrive as brief afternoon showers rather than washed-out days.
Booking ahead
Tours sell out faster than hotels here. Reserve 24 to 48 hours ahead in low season and three to five days ahead in peak months, particularly for catamaran sails and sunset cruises. Most bookings cancel free up to 24 hours before, so there is little downside to locking something in early.
