Patrizia's of Aruba - Family-Style Italian Feasts in Palm Beach

Patrizia's of Aruba channels the energy of New York's Italian dining rooms into a lively Palm Beach setting where tables brim with shareable plates, laughter, and stories. Founded by brothers Giacomo and Gennaro Alaio—Neapolitan natives who grew up working in their family's pizzerias—Patrizia's celebrates simple ingredients, generous hospitality, and recipes passed down through generations.

From Naples to New York to Aruba

The Alaio brothers opened their first Patrizia's in the Bronx in 1991, honoring their grandparents' love for authentic Neapolitan cooking. Decades later, their restaurants stretch across the Tri-State area, Florida, and now Aruba, where the same made-from-scratch sauces, hand-crafted pastas, and wood-fired specialties headline every meal.
