Italian - Azurro in the Playa Linda
For pizza - Casa Tua
I’ve also heard Wacky Wahoo for seafood and there is new restaurant lots of people are raving about called Oak. You will need reservations.

Flying Fishbone.
 
Smokey Joe's BBQ was excellent!
LOVE Smokey Joes for ribs, the best! If I remember, Tuesdays is all you can eat.
They get busy any day of the week, but Tuesdays is especially popular! Enjoy!

We really enjoy Azurro. Try to time your dinner with the sunset, so incredible, right on the beach! We ate there last May and had such a great dinner, make reservations. We also have heard Wacky Wahoo is excellent, never made it there, reservations are a must. Enjoy Aruba, such a wonderful place!
 
We were there in Jan. Went to Bingo, Linda's Pancake, Pelican's Nest, Casa Lua, Smokey Joes, Matthews, Tango, Fishes and More, Bavaria and Redfish. We did not regret any of the choice. There were a couple of specific meals at a couple of the locations that weren't the best but more (8 people) like all of them. There are lots of great choices depending on your budget and preferences as well as having a car or not. We targeted early bird specials where possible which was everywhere but Redfish, Bingo and breakfast I believe (? Casa Lua). One of the group went to Salt & Pepper as well.
 
Had a great time at El Gaucho last time we were there. Great place for steaks, and a fun atmosphere.

Lots of great recommendations. We go to Aruba every year and the places we always return to are:

Quinta Del Carmen- Dutch
Chalet Suisse- Continental
Aqua Grill- seafood

Also love El Gaucho and Pinchos on the water.

Enjoy.

Lots of great options on the Island. I have been trying to get jme to go there. I'm sure he and Mona would love all the dining options. I would say Madame Janette is my favorite followed by EL Gaucho. Yemanja Grill was also a pleasant suprise. BTW go to Smokey Joes island Grill and have yourself a "Green Monster". It will bring out your inner Red Sox.

Quinta del Carmen became one of our new favorites on our last trip. Senses is really good and an experience you should do at least once. It is pricey but a great evening of food. Diana’s Pancakes Place for some great Dutch pancakes cannot be beat. Atardi has good food at great atmosphere as you eat on the beach.
 
I'm not a foodie, so I won't chime in on great places to go. But I will add this to the conversation.

Nos Clubhuis (which is above) Hadicuria allowed for smoking in the restaurant. This is an open air/bar kind of place - but with two tables smoking on each side of us, it wasn't pleasant for all that were eating.

A lot of Aruba places have gone to www.opentable.com for reservations. This makes reservations at so many of the places super easy from the states.
