About this place

Casa Nonna Aruba brings the character of an Italian family kitchen to Palm Beach, pairing traditional Roman and Tuscan cooking with the polished setting of The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba. The name means “Grandmother’s House,” and the restaurant reflects that idea through house-made pastas, Italian cheeses, salumi, antipasti and carefully prepared regional dishes. Fresh, local and seasonal ingredients are incorporated into the menu, while the extensive Italian wine selection gives the dinner experience an unmistakably Italian identity.

The menu is particularly appealing for travelers who enjoy classic Italian dishes with a refined presentation. Guests can choose from handmade pasta such as Pici Alla Toscana, Lobster Ravioli and Frutti Di Mare, alongside seafood, chicken and premium beef selections. The menu also includes a dedicated gluten-free selection, making Casa Nonna a practical choice for visitors looking for Italian dining with dietary flexibility.

The dining room combines dark wood, copper details, terracotta-inspired flooring and Italian decorative touches, while the central pizza bar and open-kitchen setting add a lively culinary focal point. The atmosphere works particularly well for romantic dinners, celebrations and relaxed family-style meals. Outdoor dining is also available, although the restaurant notes that its outside seating is first-come, first-served rather than reservable.
