-- Calabria Trattoria: Aruba’s Newest Italian Gem Dominates The Dining Scene
Calabria Trattoria, a culinary jewel in Aruba, has rapidly ascended to the top of the island’s competitive restaurant scene. Under the expert leadership of Chef Laura Iannizzi, the restaurant has earned the title of the number one Italian restaurant in Aruba, climbing to an impressive third place among all dining establishments in the region within its first year. This remarkable success story highlights the restaurant’s authentic approach to Italian cuisine, Chef Laura’s dedication to providing guests with an unforgettable dining experience, and a level of customer service that continues to amaze diners.
Chef Laura, originally from Calabria, Italy, brought her culinary expertise and deep-rooted connection to her Italian heritage to Aruba in November 2023. The island, known for its picturesque beaches and thriving tourism industry, became the perfect setting for Chef Laura’s vision of serving authentic, home-style Italian dishes in an environment that reflects the warmth and tradition of Italy.
A Vision Realized: The Birth Of Calabria Trattoria
Chef Laura’s love for cooking began at a young age in her family’s kitchen in Calabria, a region renowned for its bold, rustic flavors. Growing up surrounded by family recipes passed down through generations, she developed a deep appreciation for authentic Italian cuisine. After years of honing her craft in top kitchens, Laura decided to bring her culinary vision to Aruba.
Opening Calabria Trattoria was a bold step in a competitive market, but Chef Laura knew that offering authentic Italian cuisine with fresh, high-quality ingredients would resonate with both locals and visitors. Less than a year after its grand opening, the restaurant has already made its mark, gaining recognition not only as the best Italian restaurant in Aruba but also as one of the island’s top dining destinations.
Overcoming Challenges: A Commitment To Tradition And Authenticity
Despite the fierce competition in Aruba’s culinary landscape, Calabria Trattoria quickly found success by staying true to Chef Laura’s philosophy of serving food that is simple yet full of flavor. “I’m an Italian cooking Italian food,” says Chef Laura. “It’s as simple as that. I want my guests to feel like they’re sitting in an Italian home, enjoying a meal prepared with love, care, and respect for the ingredients.”
The restaurant’s approach is grounded in the belief that food should be enjoyed for its flavor, not its presentation. Dishes are crafted from family recipes using the freshest ingredients, highlighting the bold, rustic flavors of Southern Italy. Signature dishes such as homemade Calabrian sausages, baccala (cod), lasagna, and seafood linguini have quickly become favorites, with guests praising their authenticity and simplicity.

This commitment to hospitality, combined with exceptional Italian cuisine, has helped Calabria Trattoria quickly build a loyal customer base, with many visitors returning year after year.
The American Connection: A Taste Of Home For Italian Americans
One of the unique aspects of Calabria Trattoria’s success is its appeal to American tourists, particularly those of Italian descent. Many of these visitors are seeking an authentic Italian dining experience when traveling abroad, and Calabria Trattoria offers them a taste of home. For Italian-Americans, the restaurant evokes memories of family dinners, where traditional recipes and close-knit family bonds take center stage.
“There’s something special about sharing the flavors of Italy with people who come from similar backgrounds,” Chef Laura says. “Many of our American customers are Italian Americans who have ties to Southern Italy, and when they come here, it feels like they’re coming home.” This connection has helped make Calabria Trattoria a favorite among American visitors, many of whom are part of Aruba’s high rate of return visitors and look forward to returning to Calabria.
