The food was a bit pricey, but everything is in Honolulu. Our meal was full of flavor and the portions were plenty. The service was great! Erik was our server and he did a good job of taking care of us. We had a view of the lagoon from our table, but there was no breeze coming in from our direction and no A/C where we were located. The heat made it difficult to relax and fully enjoy our food and conversation. If you are looking for a good Italian meal in Honolulu, I would recommend Frescos!
I love Italian food. I went to Fresco’s on my second day in Hawaii. I had walked a half marathon distance that day. I was very hungry. It’s incredible how Italian food hit the spot regardless of where you are I found the happy hour time, and I took my self out to eat. Actually, I decided to eat at the bar so that way I could capitalize on the happy hour menu, I started off my dinner with a Caprese salad and it was delicious. The mozzarella was so fresh. The tomatoes were ripe and tasty. The vinaigrette had a very nice balance against the tomatoes. This was a delicious appetizer. I follow this dish with the Quattro Formaggio on the recommendation of the server. She did not steer me wrong. This dish was excellent. It was pasta with for cheeses, which was rich and decadent, and it was accompanied with roasted kukui nut, the island twist on the dish. I really enjoyed this update Italian dining experience. It made my trip very special.
Had a lovely dinner. We had the Seafood spaghetti and Lasagna, a Longboard, mai tai, and chocolate creme brulee.
We were able to get a very last minute reservation on a Saturday night. We had a choice in which table we were seated at and enjoyed sitting outdoors looking off the balcony. The wait staff was very polite and friendly. The food was delicious, particularly the mushroom risotto. The food was expensive, but came in sizable portions and didn't seem more expensive than other restaurants in the area.
We just got into Honolulu from Kauai... I/we were starving and were able to walk to this restaurant from our hotel at the Ilikai. Michael was our server, he was very attentive to us. Food was good, not great but good... we got the calamari, bolognese and rigatoni, along w/ the lemon basi drinks. Big food portions, we took lots of leftovers home.
This is defiantly the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to so far!! The food was very flavorful and very juicy. The outside atmosphere is beautiful, and the service was great as well! Our server was very kind and attentive, and the over all vibe made me very happy! If you like Italian food be sure to check this place out!!!! 😊
Amazing dinner to accompany a relaxing time with my friend. We each nursed a slightly dirty vodka martini with blue cheese olives throughout the entire time there. I started with the corn and taro soup and ate some of the gnocchi with all kine veggies that was my entree. The leftovers were fantastic! My friend had the grilled mahi on a bed of rice with a side of 3 shrimp (sorry I missed getting pictures!) Lots of laughter!
Servers were attentive and kind, food and drinks arrived quickly and accurately, and the atmosphere was comfortable. Spag and meatballs were the daily special - very tasty. Also had the chopped salad, very good as well. We had a great experience and would recommend.
Went for Monday dinner. Easy to reserve, great outdoor atmosphere, friendly service and great food. Was skeptical with the current 3.7 rating but would recommend for sure. Not luxury but way better than olive garden.
My family and I really enjoyed this restaurant. We had reservations for 5:30, so it wasn’t too busy. Waiter was very attentive and the food was really good. We also had dessert, which was great. A bonus - we were sat by a bay window and a beautiful breeze was blowing off the water, so that made the dinner even more memorable.
