DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT: A new concept restaurant in Aruba fusing together live Murano glass-blowing demonstrations every morning, the coldest beers, a full menu of flavorful eats, and a gallery of iconic Aruba wildlife, fauna, and flora pieces made onsite that are ideal souvenirs for purchase. Tucked away in the neighborhood of Ayo, near the historic Ayo Rock Formations, we are a family-owned and
run establishment, located in a century-old traditional Aruban “cunucu” home that we have transformed into an outdoor fire studio, gallery, and charming bar and restaurant. Our outdoor studio brings the tradition of Murano, the glass-blowing capital of the world to Aruba. Giuliano Pinzen, part owner along with his sister Patricia’s lineage spans 3 generations creating exquisite pieces of Murano glass art. Artisanal collector pieces made for sale include Millefiori, Avventurina, and Filigrana glass-blowing techniques, all of which are blowing up in popularity (pun intended). Island visitors from all over the world agree, there is no surprise because our souvenirs are truly unique. Part of the experience is that we offer free live glass-blowing demonstrations throughout the day. You learn about the glassblowing process while watching molten glass from a 2100ºF/1150ºC furnace being shaped into a beautiful island-inspired Divi Divi tree, Sea Turtles and more. Purchase from our gallery, book private workshops or host a fun and memorable event where you can take home not only something made on Aruba but possibly also made by you! Our restaurant menu offers creative cocktails, the coldest beers in Ayo, delicious bites, and plates in a one-of-a-kind atmosphere that captures the authentic ambiance of Aruba, with accents of multicultural influences. We source local ingredients, and offer seasonal menus, in an authentic local setting complimented by the refreshing Aruba ocean breeze. We take immense pride that our glass art and menu are concepts that are derived from the inspiration of Aruba’s immense beauty and conceived by our family’s long history originating in Murano, Venice, but most importantly our destined love of glass and good food from all over the world world
