A highly rated Trip Advisor review is normally very reliable. Although we found the atmosphere and service very nice at Gostoso, the food was just average. We had local recipes- goat stew, pernil (pork) ,and carni stew. Frankly we've had better at other restaurants on the island.The white Sangria was very good. The staff were very friendly and the service... More

IF you want to have an amazing dining experience, this is the place to go. Simply a MUST. First of all, you will be personally advised in your order by the chef and owner, a great portuguese cooking genius... Ask for the specials of the day, you can't go wrong. The biggest problem in this restaurant is that you have... More

After a week in Aruba eating out every night, decided on something different...authentic Aruba cuisine. Loved it. The creamy seafood chowder was best I ever had, so rich and creamy I almost didn't have room for dinner.

This was our second visit to Gostoso and we were not disappointed. This place is on the road less traveled but is a diamond in the rough. Cozy, excellent service, great food. This time we had a group of 15 and everyone had a great time. One in our party had the 'Best Steak' she ever had, and several others... More

Great food great place great people period As for the review that miss spelled hipe and thinks its Italian food you would eat at Olive Garden

Poor service food was not great, but expensive. tables crowed, more like a chain then a nice Italian restaurant. Had better food at olive graden

This is a small place located on a busy neighborhood street easily found via taxi. Can't imagine finding otherwise. Lol! The chef/owner personally greets you and explains his menu with great care. The food was wonderful and there is truly something for everyone-- seafood, beef, chicken, and local fare! The sushi plantain appetizer was unique and worth the trip alone.... More
