Arancino Di Mare

I loved the food and the friendly staff. The outdoor seating with the Hawaiian breeze is hard to beat. It's fairly expensive but worth every penny. One thing that's unique, at least to me, is that the kitchen was very visible... I noticed that they were all smiling and so was I. There was nothing to dislike. There were people seated everywhere, but it didn't feel like it. We were sitting close to the busy street, but I didn't even notice the vehicles. These employees clearly take pride in their work. Kudos to hiring, training, and retaining your talent. In the future, all restaurants I visit will be compared to this one. They have something very special going on there. Take a visit and see if you can figure it out where all of that magic is coming from.

We had an amazing experience! The wine connoisseur was absolutely incredible! Super knowledgeable and enjoyable, helped select our wine and explain it in detail. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The food did take a while. They were very busy, so it was understandable, but traditional Italian meals take about 3 hours to finish, so it was expected. We had a wonderful time! The food was delicious.

The food was amazing! Atmosphere was good! The support staff were super friendly and polite. The server had quite the room for improvement, but we all have off nights! We pre bussed the table numerous times gathering glassware, silverware, dinnerware and moving it to the edge of table to make it easier on him. We were polite and used our manners and were grateful for everything. He still didn’t care for us much but that’s okay! Still tipped him 20% as everyone always should!

The restaurant feels swanky and upscale, as if transplanted from a resort on the Italian riviera, with prices to match. The menu offers plenty of Italian dishes (obviously), but some of them have an added Hawaiian twist that didn't need to be there or could've been executed differently. The wine list is long, and the prices reflect the location and the setting.

This is the closest I got to Italy while in Waikiki, but the restaurant is no slouch when it comes to their food and ambiance. The food is delectable and the service is quick, and although overpriced for what it is, you’re in Waikiki what do you expect? I came here two nights in a row after staying in Waikiki for 5 and i don’t regret it.

The food here is truly amazing. I saw it while walking out of my hotel and saw the dish I got (see photo below) and thought it looked wonderful. Thankfully they were able to seat us after I forgot to set the reservation for my group of 6. The food comes out quickly as well. We did dine outside which was a bit displeasing due to the high volume of pigeons in the area. Nothing wrong on their part, just something to note when going there.
