Ristorante Laguna
St. Maarten Restaurants
This excellent Italian restaurant is located on Simpson Bay Lagoon across from Juliana Airport and is only open from 6:30 PM to 10:30 PM for dinner.
After walking into the lobby past the triangular shaped bar with the Espresso and Cappuccino machine, you descend several stairs into a lovely dining room with a high ceiling, whitewashed walls with an abundance of windows, and tables smartly separated by planters of trees and exotic shrubs. In the background, classical Italian music complements the ambiance of this wonderful restaurant. In the rear, French doors open to let in the warm evening breeze and leads to a terrace with dining under the stars and great views of the Lagoon. Dining on the terrace will top off your evening, but don't be surprised if a passing rain shower causes you to grab your dishes and run inside to another table. In this event, the friendly staff go into action and help to make your evening a memorable experience.
Come hungry and be prepared to be pampered by owners Franco and Gianni who serve the finest authentic regional Italian cooking, great pastas, exceptionally creamy Fettuccine Alfredo, Calamari with Angel Hair pasta (one of my favorites), delicious prime US meats, fresh fish, lobsters and many specialties with delightful seasonings and ingredients imported directly from Italy. Most major credit cards are excepted. Annual closing: Sept. - Oct. 15. Reservations: suggested. Everyone will have a pleasurable experience!
