50 Best Italian Restaurants near Aiea

“First timr trying Catania Ristorante Italiano at Waimalu Shopping Center. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. Parking is also a challenge during the busy times. Chinese owners serving Italian food. The food is good, but not memorable good. Pasta is cooked well and their garlic cheese bread is very good. Spaghetti sauce too runny, but the Seafood Linguine is delicious. Prices are affordable, considering the portion size is generous and they don't skimp on the protein. Another plus, it's BYOB, so you can save some e $$$ on your bill.

Friendly family run business excellent service. Show your support to small businesses.“

“It was great! Went here after seeing the Pearl Harbor memorial, and was excited to see a variety of intriguing menu options. The service here was amazing - everyone was very respectful and friendly, and nice to interact with. Overall, I would definitely recommend this lovely restaurant. I got the Bruschetta and Caesar salad, you should try them!“

“food filled me up definitely should try at some point“

“We went for lunch on Good Friday and it was not so crowded. Service is great. Food is nice. The setting was not formal and it may pass as a casual setting but not as a casual diner setting thing.

We ordered mozarella in carroza, linguine chicken anchovy olio and chicken portobello. The mozarella and its dip is perfect. The linguine chicken anchovy oil is not salty. The chicken portobello is somewhat on the oily side. But all in all, it was a great food and experience.

I would love to try the other dishes.

Ohh and btw, they did not inform the last call to order. We were planning to order a take out but the kitchen was already closed.“

“Best Italian food on the Island. We have been going to Bravos for 35 years and have never been disappointed. The fried mozzarella is so ono.“

“Pizza was great, Awesome deals, Great and wide variety of options to choose from. So much great things and places located in pearlridge mall but Sbarro would be my favorite one. Especially their customer service person working the counter . Shout out to Jash who made our visit their most memorable and plan to come back often“

“Delicious with amazing service!!“

“This place is pricey but is SO WORTH IT. I want to thank Chris, Mikey, Amanda, I believe Hayden (bartender) and all the other staff who made every visit just as good as the next. I loved showing this place off and everytime it was a grand slam hat trick. I am sad I likely won't be back as I moved off island but the food is amazing and the staff knows the menu inside and out. My only regret is that I didn't stop in sooner.
Thank you guys for the conversations, the food and the memories. Glad I got to so my going away here.“

“Thin crust pizza is awesome, especially the anchovy which is my favorite! Fresh salads and delicious pastas! The cheese, though, fresh from Italy! love this place!“

“The only place I will ever is pasta at.“

“Hands down our favorite restaurant on island! We always get the Brussels sprouts to start and have always had great service. Plus the ambience is great!“

“I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally got the chance. The food was really good and the service was fast and friendly. We ate the combo of lasagna and chicken saltimboca and another combo of lasagna and chicken alfredo. Ate it all before I even thought about taking a picture to leave with a review.“

“Absolutely had the best dining experience tonight! After 2 disastrous visits to Olive Garden this vacation we realized Spaghetti Factory was here as well so decided to give them a try and OMG huge difference! What a great crew!! Host at door so friendly and our server Declan, THE BEST!! We definitely will be back!“

“Would like to thank Raye for her awesome recommendation..she is the best waitress I ever encountered.“

“My family and I went to Mezzo Restaurant on September 12th, 2025 while celebrating a very special occasion my son proposed to his girlfriend that evening, and we had all flown out from California to share in the moment. The atmosphere was wonderful, warm, and inviting, which made it a perfect spot for such a memorable night.

The service was on the slower side that was a bummer and it took a while for our food to come out, but once it arrived, everything was absolutely delicious. The garlic bread, in particular, was amazing so good that it deserves a spot as an option on the menu so guests can order extra. The restaurant itself was a little tricky to find with signage that wasn’t very clear, but once inside, we were glad we made the effort.

Overall, it was a beautiful evening with outstanding food and a great atmosphere, and despite the slow service, the experience will always stand out as a wonderful part of our celebration.“

“The best service with the tastiest food!! Definitely 5stars here!!🙌🙌🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Tasty dishes. Friendly staff and great service. reasonably priced dishes. Pastas, plate lunches and pastries available from bakery. Highly recommend!“

“We had a wonderful dinner tonight! The new menu is 5 star and everything was delicious. I especially enjoyed the Uni appetizer, cauliflower soup and shrimp toast, but the risotto mushroom and beef short rib melted in your mouth. The flavors were amazing! Highly recommended!“

“Cino was absolutely amazing! From the appetizers to the dessert, they didn't miss a single beat. Every dish was prepared beautifully and full of flavor. The service was exceptional. Dylan, our waiter, is hands down the best waiter on the island. His attentiveness, friendliness, and professionalism truly elevated the entire dining experience. If you're looking for a place that delivers outstanding food and top-tier service, Cino is the place to go. We can't wait to return!“

“Service was great and food was great as always. Only thing was they seemed to be bussing tables to soon. Our waiter was great very attentive.“

“IL TAPPO Hawaii was total surprise! Everything we ordered from the caprese salad, bruschetta, with tomato basil and garlic, pesto ala penne with chicken, the lasagna, the pizza with capacola, the wine recommended was amazing. We finished with the perfect size of tiramisu and a shot of amazingly chilled limoncello. This was a perfect meal start to finish. This place is a must go to if you visit here. Literally on the best meals we have ever had!!!“

“Great food and friendly staff!“

“My chicken fettuccine was good, tasted like it should be.
Expect smaller portions as they kept the prices lower. Just keep asking for more bread.
Service is great and very friendly. This is an old area so don't expect it to be fancy.“

“We enjoyed a fantastic dinner situated above the city, after a long day of touring. The service and food were fantastic, and we also enjoyed the live music. Highly recommend for a romantic, relaxed, upscale dinner.“

“Absolutely delicious and outstanding food. Our server Joe was absolutely awesome providing us superb server. The Bufala Caprese, Orecchiette pasta with meatballs, pizza primavera and Pesto Pizza were to die for. Loved the Teramisu cake as well.“

“A great place to enjoy a nice meal. Looking forward to my next visit.“

“This was definitely a different Pizza experience... their story is intriguing and hopefully this brand and cuisine comes to the remainder of the states especially Florida... I had their lime drink and it was amazing and their Pizza was delightful. 43 inc highly recommended. In Tampa Florida we have a network called The HUB and it's a place we recommend phenomenal experiences. This would be one.“

“Everything. Salads are fresh, entrees are very generous, service is fast and friendly.“

“The food is hands down the best in the PX. The staff is so kind and always so friendly. The quality and quantity you get is very reasonable and the food is just wonderful. Highly recommend. It’s refreshing to see employees working that seem to genuinely enjoy being there and have pride in what they do. The customer service was truly top notch and a refreshing change to the PX.“

“Mandy, our waitress, was excellent, very attentive. Although we didn't order much ( we had a late lunch) she was very pleasant. This time, my favorite dish, Roasted Brussels Sprouts was perfect! Will definitely go again. Sorry, didn't take any pictures.“

“I pick up lunch from the Pioneer Plaza location a couple of times a month. It's always the large salad ... Which gives you 3 to 4 choices atop some cut lettuce. I usually select the peas and carrots, curried chicken (even though I don't like raisins), tomato and cucumber and the pasta salad.

There are pasta and sandwiches ... my workmates often order that instead of salad. FYI, the large is a better deal ... You get far more food for just a few more dollars.“

“Simple and very delicious Italian food. The pizza and pasta with a choice of combinations are both delicious. I think this is the taste that Japanese people like. The portions are about Japanese size, so if you want to eat a lot, you might have to order sometime.“

“Walking past, there's a good chance you won't even notice it. There's a row of 3-4 shops in one building. Upon entering, you realize just how small it really is. The lady behind the counter was super friendly and patient, this was the first time for me to visit this place. I honestly couldn't decide, there were so much to choose from. I ended up ordering the Hawaiian calzone and the combination calzone. I was not disappointed at all. They were delicious. I quickly realized however that I should have ordered just 1. They were both quite full. I'll be sure to go back there on my next trip to Hawaii.“

“Really good Italian food in a mall restaurant. On Level 1, tucked next to Macy’s, The Chicken Marsala is a tender breaded chicken breast. The default pasta is Linguine. The special was Chicken and Shrimp Diablo; the small chicken pieces and shrimp were overcooked; it was not spicy. There is a fairly extensive wine list, continental and Napa. Service was good.“

“とにかく美味しい‼️“

“Had an excellent time went on Valentine’s Day. I do got to say, though the only thing that had the downside was the flies you literally gotta keep an eye on your food.“

“Love their happy hour pizza“

“We had reservations at 11:00am (opening time) - we were glad to have a window seat overlooking Ala Moana Beach. ‘Cannot say enough about the EXEMPLARY SERVICE that was rendered by “Kalau” (sp? - I'm sorry, forgot the spelling of his name). It was First Class Service from the get-go. I'll definitely return with my family. The food was very delicious - generous portions. Thank you.“

“Great food. Erik was great and food was spectacular“

“It is a 5 star all the way around. It has the best food and drinks on the island. Hands down there is nothing better. The atmosphere is incredible and something to experience. The staff are true professionals. They’re able to handle a full house like it is just an average day. I recommend the Kenzo steak, pasta carbonara, the fried ice cream, and the St. Jamison’s. That will set you up for a meal you’ll bring coming back for time and time again.“

“There's a lovely little Italian restaurant on King Street that you should definitely check out. The food is not only delicious but also very reasonably priced. The staff are friendly, and everything is made fresh when you order it. This cozy spot has a great variety of dishes, including classic pizzas, tasty appetizers, hearty salads, and sub sandwiches. My favorite dish to order is the antipasto salad along with a small la pizza Rina specialty combo.“

“Great food, great location, great happy hour wine pours! It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I’ll be coming back.“

“My husband and I Read about this place through the support 808 page and saw they offered porkroll and scrapple. For a born and raised South Jersey girl, finding those on this island is heaven! We ordered a couple of Hoagies for lunch and porkroll and scrapple and pickles too! Definitely a place we will be often! Reminds me of a good stop to take hoagies to go when going down the shore! Thank you for the bottom on my heart for sharing a taste of home! The Hoagies were exactly right for East Coast sub shop! I almost went back to get pizza for dinner too!“

“A group of 8 of us had an amazing experience at Kayak Cafe which is located on the corner of Ala Moana Blvd and Ena Road. The service was exemplary and the food was delicious.
Our server, Roxanna, was very attentive, very personable, and took excellent care of us. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service.
The food was cooked perfectly to order, arriving hot to the table, the salads were fresh and crisp, the portions were generous, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their choices. We were there between the time that brunch is usually served and the lunch hours, so we were given the choice to order from either menu. Some of us opted for lunch and some for breakfast and everything was perfect.
The restaurant is beautifully decorated and very clean and they offer outdoor seating as well as indoor seating.
They have really good coffee, espresso, cappuccino and other specialty drinks. I had the cappuccino, which was excellent, and when two of us ordered regular coffee, they brewed us a fresh pot! The also have excellent fresh brewed ice tea.
If anyone is gluten intolerant as I am, they have delicious gluten free pizza on the menu as well as other gluten free choices.
The management has recently hired new staff and they obviously have gotten excellent training.
We will definitely come back again and highly recommend that you give them a try! If you have been there before, you will be amazed at how much better it is now.“

“The spaghetti Bolognese was fantastic and the wine. Very nice.“

“I have been shopping there for many years and love the selection of vendors that are there. We can almost always find what we are looking for including gifts from local artists and made quite a few friends with some of the vendors. There is something for everyone. Also I recently became a vendor myself.“

“Awesome place! The sprit of the lord is very strong there!“
