About Terrazza Italiana
The restaurant is run by chef and owner Mimma Baroncini and serves lunch and dinner six days a week from an open-air rooftop terrace; there is lift access to the third floor. Two details stand out from its own listing: the mozzarella and burrata are made fresh daily in Terrazza’s own mozzarella factory, and there is live music every day. Attire is casual, and the same room reads differently at lunch (quiet, beach view) and at dinner (sunset and music).
What to Order at Terrazza Italiana
Start with the caprese con prosciutto di Parma — the mozzarella is made in the house factory the same day. On the pasta list, the rigatoni ai quattro formaggi runs on a homemade four-cheese blend, and the linguine ai frutti di mare ($30) tops the card. Among the pizzas, the Parma e rucola ($28) is the priciest thing in the oven. Google’s own review highlights are simpler: sangria and cheese pizza. There is no Margherita by name here — the Caprese pizza is the closest.
Tips for Your Visit
Book ahead for weekend dinners. It is walkable from the Eagle Beach hotels, and lunch (11:30 am to 4:00 pm) is the quieter option. Plan around Sunday — the restaurant is closed all day.
The sample menu with prices — checked October 2026

Our verdict
Pasta is the heart of the card at $19–30, and because the listed prices already include Aruba’s 6% tax with no service charge added, the number on the menu is unusually close to the final bill. A starter and a pasta lands around $36–50 a head before drinks, which fits what Google diners report (AWG 20–100, roughly $11–56 at the fixed 1.79 peg). The $16 pizza rossa is the cheapest hot plate; the $46.50 surf ’n’ turf is the ceiling. The honest caveats: 4.2 stars across 752 reviews is solid rather than stellar, it is closed on Sundays, and dinner ends between 9:30 and 10 pm — this is an early-evening sunset room, not a late one.
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.
