Osteria Rosso — Restaurant in Curaçao

I have been at this restaurant many times, and it was just average. But last week I noticed a big change. The menu was different, and the food was SUPERB. I asked if they had a new chef and requested to congratulate him personally. So Tayu came to our table, he is Italian. He explained to us some of his techniques. No wonder why the pasta was truly "al dente". The meat was cooked to perfection: outside it was crispy, and very tender and juicy inside. Without doubt I would say that this is by far, one of the best restaurants on the island. It might not be that fancy, but it is absolutely DELICIOUS. I am very picky with the pasta since I have Italian roots and have been to Italy many times. But this pasta and the meat where AMAZING. And on top of that, they have truly authentic Italian ice cream from il Gelato, my favorite ice cream shop in Curacao. 100% recommended. The picture attached is "filetto di manzo" and cannot remember the sauce. I ordered pasta instead of french fries, but forgot to take a picture of the pasta, it was tagliattelle with a creamy sauce that matched perfectly well...

Where do I start? Staying at Trupial, I know there's a restaurant, but I always buy food out. The restaurant I went to was closed so I decided to come back and try something from the restaurant. Can't be that bad, right? I ordered a pizza that was made dairy free as I am allergic so that I was very pleased with it. Unfortunately I was told that someone would call my room and I'll come collect. It was almost 40 minutes later when I realized that it really could not take that long. So I decided to go check and low and behold it was there waiting for me, cold 🥶. Thankfully, I used the microwave in my room, and that saved the temperature, but that wasn't that bad. I normally hate speaking about food in a negative way, but I'm sorry, the pizza in my picture could never cost $ 16.57 USD. I could count how many pieces of anchovies I got, and it was just very underseasoned and tasted like an amateur chef made that. I doubt that the rest of the food isn't good, but I really hope I had an...

Beautiful restaurant.. service was extremely slow, even with the place basically empty... basic things a waitress should know to bring you like bread, water, silverware, etc... you 100% have to ask for or you won’t receive, we didn’t even get water till the end of the meal after having asked our waitress for it over 3 times lol I got the margarita pizza, I always expect them to have mozzarella blobs with basil leaves but as usual with most restaurants, you’ll get a basic cheese pizza. I highly recommend the espresso martini, delicious! I would come back but probably only...
