I am from naples italy, born and raised, mouving in US I always was hoping to find good food like at home and never could, till I tried arancino and omg, just like at home, best italian food on island period....I go so often is so worth it, I suggest this place to anyone who want some authentic italian food. ..enjoy ;).
I fully understand why people stand in line for hours to get into your restaurant. After trying for 3 days we finally succeeded and had the best italian meal I ever had outside Italy. Thank you �
Delicious food!! Had the Columbus course menu. Each course was very tasty and well presented. Didn't do the wine pairing though. Worth the price and will come again on the next trip to Waikiki! 🤙🏻🤙🏻🌺🌺
If you're looking for that quaint, romantic, dimly lit authentic Italian restaurant... this ain't it. The restaurant is small and crowded, a bit loud, and brightly lit, but the food is pretty good and the staff are very friendly and efficient. Won't take you on a journey to Italy, but it'll fill your belly with decent Italian food. The spaghetti ai ricci di mare ($37) is a very popular dish. I got the spaghetti alla carbonara ($26), which was very good. The pappardelle alla bolognese ($26) was good as well. Tiramisu was good for dolce, but the panda cotta was better. With a bottle of wine and tip, we spent $200. Reservations are a must, or you will wait an hour or two. It was good, but wouldn't call it a "must".
This location is small yet maintains a cozy Italian themed atmosphere. Wait times can be long so plan accordingly. Lunch menus are provided and offer some great deals. Chef's choice pizza is simple yet delightful flavorful. Looking around, the pasta of choice was the Uni pasta.
I want to start off my saying that Arancino on Beachwalk is quite possibly my favorite restaurant in Hawaii. There is ALWAYS a wait so get a reservation. I personally got the penne with shrimp and spicy tomato sauce. It was fantastic and adding a bit of parmesan and chile flakes made it out of this world. They were very accommodating to the allergies and requests of my table. The bread is fresh and warm. My only complaint is that I’m always so tempted to fill up on bread! Overall Arancino on Beachwalk is a MUST TRY in Honolulu.
Service, great. Food, good to excellent. Laid back and accessible. Slightly pricey but it's Waikiki. My wife had the bolgonese at a very reasonable $20 and it was excellent.
One of the best Italian restaurants in waikiki for sure! Very friendly staffs and delicious cuisine!
Amazing authentic Italian food! Small and cozy venue with very friendly staff. Entrees are definitely shareable and entrees are the perfect size.
Great Italian food in a charming atmosphere. I like this location better then the kahala one.
