About Gasparito
The house has an indoor dining room, an outdoor patio with a fountain, and a bar. Local artworks cover the walls and many are for sale. Furthermore, Raymond poses riddles throughout the evening. Answer correctly and you earn free dessert. Reviewers describe it as feeling like dining in a private home.
What to Order at Gasparito
The Warm Ravioli appetiser wins awards every year. It features house-made ravioli on Kerry Kerry (spiced grated fish) in bell pepper sauce. For example, the Keshi Yena main is the signature — scallops, shrimp, squid, and fish under melted Gouda cheese. The Gasparito Chicken uses a secret family recipe.
Tips for Your Visit
Call ahead to reserve. The restaurant is in Noord, ten minutes from Palm Beach. However, three seatings run each evening. The 20-guest maximum keeps the experience genuinely intimate.

Plan Your Visit to Aruba
Aruba is one of the most popular Caribbean destinations. In addition, the island offers year-round sunshine, calm waters, and a wide range of activities. Whether you are visiting for the beaches, the food, or the nightlife, Aruba has something for everyone. Furthermore, the island is located outside the hurricane belt, making it a safe choice throughout the year.
Getting Around Aruba
Renting a car is the best way to explore Aruba independently. However, taxis and buses are also widely available. Moreover, many attractions and restaurants are accessible on foot from the main hotel areas. As a result, getting around the island is straightforward and affordable for most visitors.
