 Gasparito... The name of the area where we are located and the name of our Restaurant-Art Gallery.
In the past, areas and properties were named after the families who
owned the land. Our ancestors were Arawak Indians and Europeans,
therefore the areas on the Island have distinct Indian and European
names.
The homestead, Gasparito, was owned by the Ridderstap family and the
head of the family was Gaspar(ito) Ridderstap. Hence the name
Gasparito; a name with a distinct European flavor.
At the entrance of Gasparito you can see the well that provided this
area of North with water in the past. This well was dug by hand; quite
remarkable if you know that the land here is extremely rocky and
difficult to penetrate.
 It is our aim to give you an idea of what we have to offer in Aruba in
terms of our food, culture and our art. We have an ongoing exposition
of local art on display and we can provide you with background
infromation on our local artists. Many of the paintings are for sale
too; just ask us for prices.
In Aruba we love to open our homes to all our friends for some good
food and drinks, and above all, a wonderful evening spent together.
Enjoy our hospitality; sit back and experience an excellent dinner in
anintimate and romantic atmosphere. In Aruba we are in no rush to go
home...Relax and enjoy.
Gasparito is also available for groups, either for dinner or for luncheons.
Bon Probecho
