There are some restaurants you enjoy once, and then there are places you keep coming back to because they become part of your life. For me, Arancino at Kahala is one of those places.
I come here for special occasions, and this visit was my birthday dinner. From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere already felt calm and warm. It didn’t feel rushed or noisy, just comfortable in a way that makes you want to relax and enjoy the night.
We ordered à la carte and everything we had was honestly delicious. The Chardonnay was a great value and paired really well with the food. The uni pasta was rich and creamy without being too heavy, and the squid ink pasta had deep flavor and was cooked perfectly. The owner’s favorite pizza was exactly what you want from a good Italian pizza, and dessert was also very well done. Nothing felt like an afterthought.
The service made a big difference this night. Leo was incredibly kind and gentle, and you could tell he genuinely cared. He made us feel welcome in a very natural way, not forced at all. Because of him, the whole experience felt less like eating out in Hawaii and more like being in Italy. With the atmosphere and the service combined, it really

Near the Kahala Resort valet driveway (opposite Hoku’s) is the Arancino restaurant. We were celebrating a birthday and I requested a relatively quiet table. We were seated just outside the indoor area which had a large group table seating and smaller 2 and 4-person tables nearer to the kitchen. The hostess staff were professional and cool and our server, Ken, was warm, instructive and gracious. The 5 stars are largely for him. The mai tai-liano was delicious, truly. So good! The first serving of focaccia was also amazing (fluffy, warm, moist). The lobster bisque was tasty but a little clumpy and the brioche square was chewy. I think I’m spoiled from lobster bisque (Magnolias) I tried in Charleston. Anyway, I don’t think you can go wrong with the pasta dishes here (おすすめ、courtesy of Ken). The uni San Marzano cream spaghetti was rich and delicious. The cacio pepe-like Rigatoni was also really good. Portion size was perfect so we could try their dessert and leave space for the birthday surprise dessert which was very dramatic and tasty.

My husband and I dined here last night and had the best time. Our waiter, Leo, was fantastic!! He really guided us on ordering and making sure we got the best dishes. The carbonara (add truffle) was out of this world, and the pizza we shared was delicious. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Dined there last night- our family reserved a table for 4-
To be candid and honest, my husband and I do not dine out much since Covid- so many changes to the hospitality industry after- my background is in Hospitality as well. Drove from the North Shore to meet family staying at Kahala Resort. We were so impressed with the staff and the welcoming atmosphere
As for Arancino, we were simply blown away.
Everyone we interacted with, from our server Kristen- who literally created an idyllic adventure of planning our meal extravaganza, to manager Christian, welcoming us with warmth and authenticity- the laughter and gaiety was shared by all
The food was sublime- no competition for the fine dining experience- from the delicate cake focaccia to the lambchops, tagliatelle asparagi and so many other dishes and special touches- I guess I just didn’t realize how much I missed being pampered at a restaurant – no kissing up – no fake smiles- just true warmth and grace, on our beautiful island, nestled in Kahala land.
Everything we shared – our family left with the longing to return again and again!
Our most sincere gratitude for making our night together as a family so dear- a memory we will not likely forget
Mana sends his love as well

We had an amazing dinner at Arancino at The Kahala! The Italian food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection.
But what really made the evening unforgettable was our waiter, Salomon. He was beyond excellent — attentive without being overbearing, full of great energy, and made us feel like VIPs the entire night. He had the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, knew the menu inside and out, and added that extra spark that turned a great meal into an incredible experience.
Honestly, Salomon is the definition of a five-star waiter. He’s such a great worker and Arancino is lucky to have him as part of their team. If you’re fortunate enough to be seated in his section, you’re guaranteed an amazing dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back — both for the food and for the outstanding service!

Amazing experience. We went twice during our anniversary stay and loved it both times. Pizza was great, pasta was fresh, sauces were delicious and portions were fair and aligned with quality and cost.
Buster was our server during the first visit and he was beyond exceptional. Very attentive, good attitude and wonderful customer service. It was busier during our second visit and service was not to that level. It took longer to get our wine tasting out. They did a great job making the Tiramisu table side – beautiful, elegant and flavorful! Make sure to save room for dessert!

Arancino Ristorante Italiano is a gem! The ambience is elegant and cozy — perfect for a special night out or a relaxed dinner with loved ones.
Big shoutout to Thor, our amazing waiter! He was kind, attentive, and made our experience extra enjoyable with his great recommendations and upbeat attitude.
Yes, it’s on the pricier side and the portions are a bit smaller, but every bite is worth it. The quality, presentation, and authentic Italian flavors truly stand out.
If you’re looking for a memorable Italian dining experience, this place delivers. And if you get Thor as your server — even better!

We had dinner at Arancino within the Kahala hotel, and the place was packed on Saturday night. We didn’t have a reservation but were lucky enough to get seats at the bar. Our pizzas were very good, and the service at the bar was outstanding. We had a great time all they way around here tonight!

We had a lovely final meal in Hawaii at Arancino. Our waiter, Leo did a great job taking care of us and helping us navigate the Italian specialties on the menu.
We were staying at the adjacent hotel so it was an easy choice for dinner after all the activities in Hawaii. We started with a fresh tasting caprese salad with juicy fresh cherry tomatoes and creamy burrata. They also serve a house made rosemary bread with olive oil throughout the meal.
For pasta my wife chose the luscious Carbonara (soooo good) and I had the bolognese with thick noodles. (Just ok).
The wine list features mostly Italian choices in a wide range of prices. We opted for an often overlooked Etna Rossa which was a steal at $75 for a 2018 vintage.
Most of the seating is open air and if you go later (7 or later), you can avoid families with toddlers who tend to eat early.
