About

Craft sits on the high-rise strip in Palm Beach, just off J.E. Irausquin Boulevard, and it holds the #2 spot among 155 restaurants in the area for good reason. The 4.9 marks for both food and atmosphere aren't common — most places excel at one or the other, not both. The kitchen runs modern with local ingredients, and the room feels deliberate without trying too hard. Service scores nearly as high as the food, which matters when you're spending mid-range money and want the night to work. The value rating at 4.7 suggests people leave thinking they got what they paid for, maybe a bit more. Nearly 1,500 reviews and the consensus holds, so it's not a fluke or a honeymoon phase. If you're staying on Palm Beach and want something better than resort dining without getting complicated, this is the move.

A touch of Italy!© Dot1259 via TripAdvisor

"Anna-Maria's Autentico Ristorante Italiano".

Anna-Maria's sits off the main Noord drag, and the price tag reflects the kitchen's seriousness about ingredients — this is the kind of Italian place where people expect tablecloths and multi-course pace. The #19 slot among Noord restaurants puts it in credible territory, and the 2025 Travelers Choice stamp backs that up. Food and atmosphere both clock in at 4.6, which is worth noting when the average Italian spot on the island leans more casual. The menu skews northern Italian, and the wine list isn't an afterthought. Service holds steady at 4.5, though value dips to 4.3 — fair enough given the four-dollar-sign tier. If you're splitting a bottle and working through antipasti to secondi, you're looking at a couple of hours and a bill that matches the commitment. Reservations help, especially in high season when the dining room fills early.

Agrigento Ristorante Italiano at TripAdvisor© rachelina via TripAdvisor

Agrigento Ristorante Italiano

Agrigento sits tucked into the Aruba Racquet Club grounds in Noord, away from the high-rise strip but close enough to pull a steady crowd. The #6 ranking among Noord restaurants and near-perfect subratings — food, atmosphere, and service all at 4.9 — suggest they're doing something right with the Italian menu. The 2025 Travelers Choice award backs that up. The mid-range price tier and value rating of 4.8 mean you're not paying resort prices for the tablecloths, which matters when you're eating Italian twice in one trip. The setting feels quieter than the beachfront spots, which some people prefer and others don't think about until they're seated. Over 500 reviews at 4.8 is a stable pattern, not a flash. If you want red sauce and a table where you can hear your party talk, it works.

Amare Beach Bar

Amare sits right on the sand at Play Linda Beach, just off the main hotel strip in Palm Beach. The #31 ranking out of 155 restaurants in the area puts it solidly in the upper tier, and the 4.9 atmosphere rating explains why — people come as much for the setting as the menu. You're eating with your feet in the sand, looking straight at the water. The food scores a 4.3, which is good but not exceptional, so this is more about the vibe than chasing a perfect meal. Service runs high at 4.6, and the value rating at 4.5 suggests the mid-range pricing doesn't feel punishing for what you get. It's a beachfront spot that knows what it is: solid plates, strong drinks, and a location that does most of the work. Show up in the late afternoon if you want the sunset without fighting for a table.
