The service is great. The person we went with knows several people there so even though they were packed we were able to get a reserved spot at the bar. The seafood platter was delicious. Make sure you ask if the still have the oysters before you set you sights on getting it. They run out almost daily. Ordered several items to share with the three of us. The crab spaghetti was great. Filet was cooked perfectly and was very good. Chicken takes a little time so make sure you get the seafood platter to help with the wait. Seriously the chicken is crispy and moist. The Rigatoni Bolognese pasta was great. Very flavorful and pasta was not overcooked.

Wonderful dinner service here. The food was delicious and fresh. I’d recommend the oysters and steak tartar as appetizers. The Wagyu Ribeye on special was good but needed a bit more seasoning. The Branzino was very small and there were still many bones in the fish. The best part was dessert as the Tiramisu and Panna Cotta stole the show. The only drawback was the price. The portions were definitely petit other than the Veal Parmigiana. If you’re okay with that, then you’ll love this cozy little spot at Ward.

Conveniently located in Ward Village/Kakaʻako, Cino is the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a date night. Two dinners and one bar visit in, and I’m already a regular customer.
Must-tries:
* Apps: Beef tartare and Spanish octopus – flavorful and fresh
* Sides: Twice baked potato – hands down the best thing ever (like clouds of buttery mashed potatoes) and Crispy garlic potatoes – dangerously addicting
* Pasta: Herb Pappardelle, crab spaghetti, and carbonara – all delicious and satisfying
* Dessert: Panna cotta – my favorite dessert on the menu
Cocktails? Unique, tasty, and STRONG (in a good way)
Ambiance? 10/10 – classy, aesthetic, and totally TikTok/Instagram-worthy.
What really made each visit special and top-tier was the staff. Huge shoutout to bartender Justin, server Romain, and manager Dillion– all incredibly warm and attentive!
I’m already planning to go back for the steak. If you haven’t checked this place out yet, make a reservation. You won’t regret it!

Came in on a Sunday seeking fresh pasta.
We started with the beet salad 10/10
Uni Crab Spaghetti 11/10 (ide rly like crab!)
Rigatoni Bolognese 10/10
Roasted Duck 9/10
Creamed spinach 8/10
Panna Cotta for desert. 11/10 (getting my own next time lol)
Bill: $172 + gratuity (Worth every penny)
The portions sizes were larger than we expected. Perhaps if we were drinking we may have skipped the duck.. but excited for my leftovers for lunch today!
Mahalo for a delicious meal!

Cino is awesome! The food is delicious, with flavors that dance on your palate. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance with its fun vibe while still being tucked away for a serene experience. The knowledgeable servers are eager to recommend dishes and enhance your dining experience. The potatoes were UNBELIEVABLE. Whether a local or just visiting, Cino is a must-visit spot for a wonderful Italian meal!

My wife and I eat out a lot and travel on a monthly basis. I am a bit shocked the average rating is a 4.4. Cino was excellent. It blends casual and fine dining very well. Every dish we got was excellent. The pinwheel pasta was by far our favorite. Yes, the portions are small and yes, for the portion size it IS expensive. $77 for an appetizer sized portion of pasta is a lot. DEFINITELY not Italian style portions but 1) We are in Waikiki and 2) That doesnt mean it’s not quality. I recommend you give this place a try. From drinks to apps to desserts it’s all good.

I’m only writing this for the managers and owners to learn from. As a customer coming in blind, if I didn’t know that it’s only a soft opening, the raring would have been a 4, 5, 3, and 3. I’m not trying to knock down the overall star rating of this place before it gets off of the ground so here are my constructive criticisms, and praises.
My group of six didn’t get sat until 20 after our reservation time… easy fix: learn average seating time and adjust accordingly.
We ordered 2 bottles of wine and 3 appetizers (including the 145 dollar seafood platter)… we got all 3 appetizers BEFORE either of the bottles of wine arrived. I believe this is a staffing issue. Our server was serving SO MANY TABLES. He was great and had wonderful service himself, so it should be on a manager or bartender to step up and open a couple bottles for a server in the weeds.
For the price of 145 for the seafood, I wasn’t impressed. Quality of each individual item was good, but 145? Nah.
Entrees and other apps were delicious. Nothing to comment on with that. Kitchen timing was good between courses. At the price point and decor of this place, service needs to be bumped up a notch or 2. More frequent water refill and crumbling. More table taps without interruption. Staff with less responsibility need to be trained to take on more duties. It looks bad on a restaurant when a guest asks for item x, but the reply back is, “I’ll get your server.” Write it down and relay the message. The server can double check if they want.
This place has a really Vegas style feel. It’s cool, chic, almost feels like it requires a dress code… I’m glad it doesn’t. The music level was a LITTLE loud for me, but that’s just my opinion. I’m sure older patrons feel the same.
Hope this helps

The world food tour resumed at Cino, in the ‘A’ali’I Condominium. The address is listed as Queen Street but the restaurant is actually on Halekauwila St. As you enter, you see the bar and you turn left into the area with tables on each side of a long aisle. We were seated at a table for two adjacent to the open kitchen.
The menu comes on individual sheets of paper; one for food; the others are for cocktails, wines by the glass and a wine list (by the bottle). I selected a Heitz cabernet but our server (RJ) brought a bottle of 2018 Hamel Nuns Canyon Vineyard in Sonoma ($295) offering it to us for the price of the Heitz ($215). It was an earthy, dark ruby wine with notes of black fruit, leather and chocolate.
We selected Beef Tartare ($24), consisting of cubed Creekstone Farm’s filet mignon and capers topped with an egg yolk emulsion, served with tapioca puffs (visually similar to shrimp chips) and the Crispy Rice ($22): Hamachi, avocado mousse, sesame-soy, sliced Serrano chili and dollops of caviar atop rectangles of crisped rice (think a 1-inch square, rectangular French Fry). The tartare was good but I wanted a little more seasoning and we would have preferred bread instead of the tapioca puffs. The Crispy Rice was delicious. We both felt the dishes were good but subtly seasoned, similar to dishes in Japan.
We shared the Cino Pinwheel ($77) and the 25oz, 60-day dry aged ribeye ($88). The pinwheel was handmade pasta rolled up with cheese and grated truffle filling and served in a yellowish sauce with 3gms of truffle shavings. The aroma of truffles was intoxicating! The ribeye was disappointing; It was cooked past medium rare (more like medium) and I failed to detect the nuttiness I find in dry aged steaks, especially one aged more than 45 days. Grilled asparagus with an olive tapenade and lemon was our vegetable ($15).
Dessert was a beautifully presented piece of Tiramisu ($14). My tablemate wanted more coffee and chocolate flavoring. Like our appetizers, it was subtly flavored. I had one bite and satisfied myself with a nice cup of coffee ($6).
The restaurant was busy but service was fine. We liked our dishes except for the ribeye. If we return, we will choose another entrée. I will rate this experience at 4; less than expected for $583. A guarded recommendation.

This was my second time dining at Cino, and it was phenomenal! First of all, the restaurant is beautiful. The decor is very upscale, and you can tell they put attention to detail into every component. Our host, Rachel, was so welcoming and friendly, and the bartender, Kipapa, took amazing care of us. He has extensive knowledge of wine and helped us find delicious pairings for our meals and made great food recommendations.
The food was incredible! Everything was so fresh, and it was all just perfect. There’s nothing that could make it better! The Kumamoto oysters were so good, I could have eaten a dozen myself! The Crispy Rice was also perfection—the best I’ve ever had, beating Nobu’s by a mile! We also ordered the Charred Spanish Octopus and Salt Roasted Baby Beets. The octopus was amazingly tender, and the beet salad was the perfect palate cleanser.
For mains, we had the Herb Pappardelle and the 16oz NY strip with twice-baked potatoes. The pasta was rich and flavorful, and the steak was tender with a perfect crust. But those potatoes—they were out of this world! I wish I could have buckets of them at home. They were so smooth, luxurious, and full of flavor.
I’m already looking forward to the next time I can enjoy a delicious meal from Cino!

Small Italian restaurant, but amazing decor. Absolutely beautiful on the inside! Service was ok, we felt forgotten about at times. There was a bigger party that came in half way through the evening (about 10 or 12 people order so), and it seemed like one of the staff members knew them, so they got a lot of the attention and we were almost forgotten about when they showed up.
As for the food, the octopus appetizer is amazing. Second to none! Entrees were also good, but again, they memorable dish was that octopus. Cocktails were also very good, but unfortunately it took a while for some of them to come (even before that bigger party showed up), so that part of the overall experience was a bit of a let down.
Food was excellent, ambiance and decor were excellent, but service could have been better.
