Been to Aruba three times. We visited Gostoso this past week on Wednesday, December 16, 2009. This is now our very favorite restaurant on the island. The restaurant features Portuguese Arubian fare. Chef Jose, his wife, and the rest of the staff were exceptionally attentive. The ingredients used are all very fresh and of the highest quality. Three members of... more

We were truly thrilled to find this place in Aruba. The food was fabulous, the price was reasonable and the presentation terrific. Wonderful owner who took the time to share his love for food and explain the different sauces he uses. Small place and nice atmosphere. Little advertising....word of mouth and locals find it. Directions seemed confusing but were fine.... more

Luckily, a shopkeeper mentioned this restaurant to me, and my husband and I eagerly set out to find it. We got to downtown Oranjestad quickly but then struggled to find it. Several wrong turns later and we were about to turn back to La Cabana Resort when up ahead we saw a sandwich board sign pointing to Gostosos. Lucky break!... more
