From the VALET service to checking in to the server that took our order and worked with us the whole time during our dining process everything was A+ and thoughtful. KRISTINE was our server. She was very knowledgeable about the menu making suggestions according to what you like and what's popular on each side of the menu. It's definitely a place to go to celebrate several people there celebrating their birthdays of course you see hotel guest there enjoying a dining experience. The new menu item for dessert is tiramisu, which is done tableside and is amazing. It's something the Italians do in Italy and it's brought to this restaurant. I think it's the only time I've seen that at a restaurant in the US. Hawaii has a lot of interesting places to eat. I can say that eating at this Italian restaurant at the local The Kahala. Has all the elegance, charmed, and Hawaiian flavor that you could ever want. I realize sometimes it's tough to make amazing food on this island but Arancino did an amazing job.

This is my wife and my favorite Italian restaurant. We came here for our anniversary anniversary and was not disappointed. You can't go wrong with the apps. The bolognese is our favorite, but any pasta you get is perfectly cooked and balanced. The pesce al sale (steamed seabass) is presented from its salt crust table-side and is worth the wait. My wife got the pizza quattro formaggi. It's a cheese lovers pizza drizzled with honey and she opted for the freshly shaved black truffles. The black truffles elevated the dish to another level! And the service is always on point. If you don't know what to get, or want to try something new, just ask the server for suggestions!

Celebrated our 10 year anniversary here. Atmosphere was perfect. Food came out perfect timing. It wasn't just order the food and all of it came out at once. They gave time in between to serve each course. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. She made our first experience here worth it and rememberable. The tables were also spread out nicely so it didn't feel cramped in there. The price was almost very good. It felt like a 5 start dining experience but at a very affordable price. We will definitely be coming here again

The FINEST dining experience I've ever had. I made my birthday reservation a few days prior (for a Wednesday evening) and I'm so glad I did. There was no way we'd get a walk in table for 6. Our server Gloria was Italian and phenomenal. We had a full course meal, with table side pasta making in the cheese wheel and also table side tiramisu making for dessert all by our server. I've genuinely never had a more authentic Italian food/restaurant experience. It was also the BEST pasta and food I've literally ever tasted. The cocktails were all top shelf liquor and the wine was delicious. 1000/10 will be returning once my wallet heals lol!

Outstanding!!! Lovely table on the covered patio, PERFECT service by Gloria, a lovely lady from Parma, Italy, delicious food and a wonderful dining experience! The bread, fresh out of the oven, was to die for, along with the olive oil to dip it in. The Lobster Bisque was the best I have ever eaten!!! The wilted Caesar Salad was unique, tasty with a great dressing. The pasta dishes so well-done. We were celebrating my husband's b'day and he was treated to a yummy strawberry cream cake. It was a memorable evening!

Very enjoyable and delicious meal at Arancino's. It's located a couple miles from Waikiki Beach area but worth the drive for a nice quiet outdoor Italian dinner. Our server, Paulo, was knowledgeable, friendly and professional. Everything was delicious from appetizers to dessert.

They took our food away and did not box it and bring it back like they said. That was disappointing as we paid a lot, other than that it was great.

One of the best restaurants on the island by far. Make sure to visit - you will be glad you did. I would put their Italian specialties on par with any of the best in NY or London.
Anthony
We always enjoy our dinners at Arancino's! Excellent service from Thor and his team as well as exceptional food! The porterhouse steak is amazing! Highly recommended! We go there often!
Dorothy
We got rained on real bad. All of our food got soaked and they redid everything for us. Stupendous service 🙏
Dwight
The service and setting were good. Maybe just my pallet but the food was okay at best. The steak was overcooked and dry. The pasta was okay. My son enjoyed the bolognese pasta. The desserts were excellent
