Vinoteca Italiana Baccus is run by an Italian couple who import authentic specialties and curate the menu around what they bring in — house-made focaccia, fresh pasta, charcuterie, and an extensive wine list of Italian regionals. Aruba’s most genuine Italian dining experience, with the kind of warm welcome that makes you feel like family from the first visit.

About Vinoteca Italiana Baccus
Vinoteca Italiana Baccus sits in the Lava building on Caya Harmonia in Oranjestad. The space is striking — high ceilings, sleek modern furniture, intentional design that contrasts beautifully with the rustic Italian menu. The couple who own it are from Italy, present every service, and approach hospitality the way only family-run Italian restaurants do. Wine is also available retail at a discount to take home.
Signature Dishes & Menu Highlights
Order the focaccia (made in-house and worth every calorie), the antipasti boards (rotating selection based on what was imported recently), the pasta of the day, and ask the owners for wine pairings — they know the list intimately. The wine selection alone is worth the visit; many bottles are not available elsewhere on Aruba.
