Sole Mare… dare I say the best Italian eatery in the world?
The aroma of Italian greatness greets you as you enter the front door. You know it’s going to be good when the smell alone makes you hungry. Sole Mare is off the beaten path. Palm Beach 23, Noord…not too far from the major hotels. It will not be often that I will dedicate an entire blog to one restaurant, but for Sole Mare & you, my trusted readers…I must make an exception. This is my favorite restaurant in Aruba, perhaps the entire world. It’s not fancy or pretentious, but the staff greets you with a smile and makes you feel at home (Thelma is the most delightful server!) They begin your experience with garlic bread & polenta (a fried grit-like cake) served with marinara sauce that would make Chef Boyardee cry. If not careful, you will fill up on this. And they’ll keep it coming if you ask…dangerous stuff! Secret: It’s great for breakfast when warmed in an oven!
I always, always start my meal with the tomato soup. It is unlike any tomato soup I’ve ever had. Simply divine. The portion size is quite large so I enjoy half at the restaurant & the other half for breakfast the next day! (They are so sweet to pack it up for me to take home.) Other than the soup, I can not begin to tell you what to order. It is all heavenly. I’ve had the spaghetti pomodoro capresse, the fettuccine alfredo, the fresh grouper, & the house special,” spaghetti al formaggio parmagiana”, a dish for 2 prepared in a parmesan cheese wheel and set ablaze with whiskey. Never have I had anything here that was less than exceptional.
Of course an Italian meal wouldn’t be complete without dessert. And Sole Mare doesn’t disappoint. The caramel flan melts in your mouth. I’ve been know to order 2! And the cannoli…Oh my. It is 4 bites of sweet goodness!
A trip to Aruba without visiting Sole Mare is incomplete. You will NOT be disappointed. And after you enjoy what might be the best meal of you life…be sure & tell ‘em Chanty sent ya!

We just came back from Aruba and had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant. I ordered the flaming, spaghetti, pomodoro, parmesean and absolutely loved it. I come from a big Italian family and have never tasted anything like this. Is there any way to prepare it at home. I know I cannot do it in the big wheel of parmesean but coming close to the taste would be such a treat. Thanks, Carol

My wife and I have been to your island 6 times and we only, on our 5th trip, discovered your great restaurant. This was our second visit to "The Sole Mare", and won't be our last. We had a perfect dinner in a perfect setting.
We highly recommend "The Sole Mare" to anyone and everyone. Thank You for giving us another special night of dining.

We visit Sole Mare each time we visit Aruba - usually two times a year for two weeks or more. Dine several times during our stay and the food is wonderful; atmosphere great; and service exceptional. We especially like to have Thelma as our server. Will return to the island end of October and are bringing 2 guests new to the Sole Mare experience!
