www.escapes.ca/christine Check out one of the most delicious indulgent treats you’ll ever desire. Cheesy spaghetti. What makes it so tasty and such an experience is that they scrape the cheese wheel, toss in some whiskey, light it up and stir until an oozy cheese sauce forms on the bottom. Add the spaghetti and voila – you have an amazing cheesy meal. Massive portion which could have easily fed four.
** The Story **
I first saw this advertised on a bus stop during our first trip to Aruba in 2009 and really wanted to try this meal. Staying at all inclusive resorts, it sometimes seems “spendy” to go off property for a meal when you could just eat and drink at the resort for free so we didn’t try this on our first trip back in ’09. When we came back in 2012, I really wanted to go but again, time ran out and it just didn’t happen.
Finally, in 2018, we were staying at the Riu Palace, pretty much across the street from this restaurant and I swore there was no way we were leaving “One Happy Island” without giving this a try. At US $22pp, it wasn’t cheap and I think a glass of wine was around US $8… doubt crept in again, but we persevered, skipping lunch and deciding this was going to be our dinner. It couldn’t have been more amazing. Way too much food of course, and being in a food coma fog, we didn’t even think to get the leftovers in a take-away container (I’m not proud – I would have happily eaten this delicious treat for a cold breakfast the following morning!). It was hands down, one of the best things I have ever eaten and was a lovely experience.
If you’re staying in the hotel zone in Aruba (all-inclusive or not!), I strongly urge you to go to Gianni’s at Palm Beach and treat yourself – you won’t regret it at all – it is heaven on a plate!
