Gasparito Restaurant and Art Gallery Review

Here's a favorite with people in love. Located in a restored cunucu (farm) home, Gasparito features intimate dining rooms inside and a breezy outdoor patio and bar. The tinkling of a fountain, comfortable patio chairs, and candlelight enhance the courtyard's warmth. Inside, vaulted ceilings embrace cozy rooms. Local art, much of it for sale, graces the interior walls. The keri keri ravioli, a favorite appetizer, features shredded fish (dry like bacalão) in a creamy tomato and basil sauce. Main courses focus on seafood and Aruban dishes, but the menu makes a special nod to vegetarians, and the filet mignon has vocal fans. How about shrimp in coconut milk and brandy sprinkled with seasoned coconut flakes? Or try the seafood keshi yena, a casserole of scallops, shrimp, squid, and fish in Newburg sauce topped with melted Gouda cheese. For dessert you can't go wrong with banana na forno, a whole banana baked with cinnamon.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
