5 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!“

“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.“

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

“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.“
