This is a restaurant I visited twice during my 12-day stay in Hawaii. The quality and taste of the food were excellent, and the pasta enjoyed with wine at the outdoor table was absolutely outstanding.
Today, February 14th, is my birthday. It wasn’t anything big, but I truly appreciated the thoughtful birthday surprise from Arancino. It made my day very special.
You should definitely visit — you won’t regret it!
Thank you, Arancino!

Best authentic Italian restaurant on Oahu in my opinion! Their dishes taste just like Italy. I love that all their pastas come out perfectly al dente without having to ask them. We got the Bolognese and carbonara pasta and they were both to die for. They took me back to our trip to Rome. The carbonara especially was AMAZING. Like holy moly SO good, rich and creamy. I highly recommend getting the carbonara… it’s super filling too— my husband and I couldn’t finish it.
For appetizers we got the famous Arancino croquettes which are super crispy and yummy. Their argula prosciutto salad was yummy and tasty too.
Service was great! Our waitress was quick and responsive and very nice.
You do need reservations here or expect to wait at least 30 minutes… It’s busy. The only bummer about the ambience is if you sit outside and they see you at a table right near the rope you were literally eating next to people walking by. I wish they had planters or something to make it feel more like a separated restaurant area.

Expensive. But definitely worth it. Only complaint is the tiramisu was bland. My buddy from Sicily Italy said the food tasted exactly like it. We got the calamari and the fried rice balls(forgot the name) for appetizer DEFINITELY get that. They have an entree where they cook it in a cheese wheel, only get if you like salt. My other buddies dishes were amazing if u don’t like salt. Highly recommend for a date night. Best Italian pasta I have had on this island.

Good Italian food a fair price considering the location and atmosphere.The menu is predominantly pasta and pizza. For non-carb main dishes there were only 2 choices of steak and a branzino. I wish the restaurant would offer more choices of non-carb mains.

Let’s start with the ambience.
The ocean’s beauty is captured in the soothing sounds, a gentle breeze, and the delightful scents of Hawaii, intermingled with the subtle aroma of Italy and scents of Hawaii.
Customer service is paramount. It determines whether I choose to dine here or leave. The staff was exceptional. Despite a 15-minute wait, which is reasonable for a well-established establishment with a full dining house, we were treated with respect and courtesy.
As the host escorted me to my table, I was promptly served bread and water. While perusing the menu, I decided to order a light beer that was recommended.
I ordered a cast iron lasagna and the Bulgonese. To start, how about some of the arancini, those special fried frita balls? They were delicious!
The sauce for fried balls is delicious. It has the perfect hint of Italian spices to complement the cheesy, meaty appetizer.
The bulgonese was incredibly flavorful and delicious! The star of the show, however, was the cast iron lasagna. It had perfectly crisp edges, baked to perfection, and a symphony of flavors that danced on my taste buds. I was so impressed that I had to order an extra to take home. Unfortunately, they ran out, but here’s what truly won my heart with this restaurant.
They invited me back next day to pick up an order of their lasagna. On the house. Now that’s Amoré!!!
I ended the night with a delightful tiramisu and some bubbly. It was a soft, moist, and perfectly sweet combination. Arancino Di Mare… you will forever hold a special place in my heart.

We came for dinner and had the caprese salad and meat lovers pizza. They pring you fresh buns drizzled with oil and they are so good. For desert we had the espresso martini and tiramasu! We came back just for an espresso martini and tiramasu! So good!

Apparently this restaurant is afraid to add salt to their food. Every dish that we had needed salt. They didn’t even have salt and pepper shakers on the table.
This restaurant is at the heart of Waikiki. Only 100ft from Kuhio Beach. It is certainly a prime location. And it looks very nice while you’re walking by.
But we were really disappointed with this restaurant. The food was bland. And when you look closely at the restaurant, it looks a little run down. The outside patio is nice. With white tablecloths and a great view of the ocean. But the inside was a little different. Walls were heavily scratched with and air conditioner units sat in the middle of the floor. Not very attractive.
I would say that it is overpriced for what you’re getting.

Bad food. We had pizza and veg pasta, it was bland, no flavors, no cheese. Never going there again. Their tiramisu was sub par too. It was really disappointing.

This is now my second mistake coming here as I ordered the Meat Lovers Pizza and it arrived as if it was only in the oven for 5 mins. The ham looked as fresh as when they sliced it and the dough was completely raw. I picked up the pizza from the crust and everything immediately fell off. I asked the waiter if this was normal and he brought it back to the chef only to bring it back out and say the chef said “its a heavy pizza”. Immediately I told him to remove the item off of our table which he did.
The first time I came here I got the lasagna. Second bite into the lasagna I bit something hard. I pulled out a piece of metal out of my dish. I called my waiter and they made me a new one and comped me a bunch of drinks probably so I wouldn’t shed light on thier situation. I think they need a new chef and or cooking staff to allow such things to happen in the matter of a couple month span.
Yes I should have not come back after eating metal which I belive came from their blender or another piece of cooking equipment. However I gave them the benefit of the doubt only to be yet disappointed again.

Because this restaurant is always lively, it’s highly recommended to make a reservation in advance. There are terrace and indoor seating options. Depending on the season, you might catch a glimpse of the sunset in the evening. The uni pasta seems to be popular, but honestly, everything here is delicious—you can’t go wrong. Some menu items are prepared tableside. The desserts are excellent, too.
