This restaurant is on a back street on the edge of downtown so it is easy to miss if you aren't in the know. I've been here 6 different times across the years and have never been disappointed. Its a pretty small space, room for maybe 24-30 people in the whole restaurant which is nice because its a very personal dining experience. You should definitely make a reservation though if you are more than 2 people. The owner Jose has been here every time we've visited as well regardless of the day which is a nice touch. Highly recommended if you want a non commercial real meal to remember. On this visit I had the seafood curry special which was spectacular!

You won’t be disappointed by the food in Aruba if you stay away from the tourist traps and Gostoso is no exception! I find myself saying that “this is the best food” at each restaurant but Gostoso may have taken the crown! All the reviews say the chowder is amazing and it really is! I’m salivating at the thought of it now! We also had the cod special and it was truly amazing! The cherry on top? José, the owner, is a fantastic host! You need to go and eat the best meal you’ll have and you won’t be paying “tourist prices”.

Stopped here for lunch after hearing from a few tourists that it was a must stop place for local food, and let me say IT WAS. Ordered the fish chowder and it was the best i’ve ever had. Also tried the local Mango Grouper and it was delcious. Everything is served with their homemade pepper sauce on the side. José the owner was welcoming and so sweet. Service was fast and food was amazing, what else can you ask for? Must visit!!!

We came here for dinner around 6:30. Ordered a few appetizers… the calamari was “ok” but the fish croquettes were delicious! What’s even better was our entree. I got the seafood pasta and OMG!! That was the best seafood pasta I’ve ever had. My husband got the chicken parm with penne Alfredo and he also said that his dish was so good. The only thing I can say is that service is a bit slow and there was like 1 waiter throughout the whole place. The owner was very nice and he’s so passionate about his restaurant.

A hidden gem on the Island of Aruba! Everything we ordered was perfect. The creamy Alfredo Sauce with Fettuccini and Grilled Chicken is phenomenal. My husband had the Seafood Medley with Coconut Curry was the best meal he’s ever had. My daughter talks about the best Keylime Pie she’s ever had. Jose, the Owner and Rocky came over to talk with us. What a magical experience. The Cappuccino was the perfect ending to our wonderful experience.

I wish i could give more than 5 stars and I don't say that lightly. From the friendliness of everyone there to the intimate dining experience to the impeccably cooked food-It has become my favorite restaurant on the island. We ordered the sangria after seeing all the positive reviews and it was incredible! I ordered the lenga stoba and it was so perfectly cooked as was the goat my husband ordered- perfection! We met the owner, he was so friendly and really took time to talk with the dining guests making everyone feel welcome and like family. Thanks everyone for an amazing night! We will be back again next year for our anniversary!

We lucked out on a Sunday night and got sat right away without a reservation. Very nice people with a very unique menu.. we got the NY strip kabob, the steak was a little under seasoned but the veggies were great. The sushi was nothing like sushi except the shape, very good with the eel sauce and homemade hot sauce. Everyone else liked their meal. Kids pasta and marinara was my fav. Overall pretty pricey with most specials from $40-70. If you are looking for something authentic and off the beaten path, this is a good option!

A treasure within Aruba. It was our last day in Aruba and we were looking for a place to eat. We arrived and was greeted by the owner Jose and his wonderful server Daniela. From the very beginning to the end, we were treated like family and kept accompanied by wonderful conversations with the staff. We have never had an experience as intimate and genuine as we did here. The food is absolutely incredible and the menu is extensive. I couldn’t recommend this place enough, please support a wonderful local restaurant that deserves all the praise and love!
