A Little Taste of Italy in Hawaii 🇮🇹🌺 The Kahala location is the real deal—way better than Waikiki! The vibe is so pretty and peaceful, and don't even get me started on the food~ The pasta and pizza are always perfect, and the Chardonnay pairs beautifully with everything🍷 I always stop by after my hair appointment at the hotel—it's my go-to Italian spot💛 If you're looking for authentic Italian in Hawaii, this is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

This is our favorite Italian restaurant on the island, authentic flavors and great service every time.

First time diners and definitely not the last! Our waiter Ken was super friendly. knowledgeable, and attentive. Food was outstanding. Wish we had room for dessert.

Our table shared dishes. Our appetizers (octopus, sashimi scallops, tomatoes, and mixed greens) were very good. Of the pastas, the carbonara was the best, and the sea bass was good. The deserts (tiramisu, panna cotta, and cheesecake) were also very good. The service was very attentive.

Love the food & flavors here. The carbonara and focaccia are the best I've had. And we enjoy watching the servers prepare dishes using the big cheese wheel.

I've been there a few times, but the taste has deteriorated. I ordered a course, but the Rossini-style steak didn't even contain truffles. The sea urchin pasta was dry and inedible. Previously, they offered a choice of knives, but there was no special feeling to it, and the quality was comparable to that of a high-priced family restaurant. The champagne was also weak.

Wonderful experience at Arancino! service was amazing and food so tasty. definitely get the table side pasta and risotto...you won't regret it!

The only negative experience we had concerns children. The establishment allows them to run about and play as though you are having a picnic at the beach. If you are looking for a nice dinner experience, consider an evening when you are not in the same room with the children. If, on the other hand wish a picnic atmosphere, the food is very nice.

As usual Arancino's went above and beyond for the birthday celebrations hosted! Our server Ken was knowledgeable, attentive to allergies and thoughtful to our request for accommodations. The cocktails were on point! Food impressive and delicious. Would highly recommend adding this elegant venue to your “must try” list.
Absolutely loved it. Great food and great service! Amazing pasta. The carbonara was a 10/10!

Great place to share. We had the mushroom pizza and charcuterie to start and it was lovely. Then on to 3 different pastas- fave was the tableside prep of the

Came here for my husband's birthday, recommended by my MIL, and absolutely didn't disappoint. Our server, along with the manager were very attentive. The food was absolutely delicious, drinks were amazing as well. I can't wait to come back.

Food quality is bad, services was subpar and dining experience not pleasant. It's unfortunate The Kahala has this place adjacent to them, so many other good dining options that show more effort in creating a memorable experience.

Arancino at The Kahala Resort is a very special experience. This is a celebration restaurant for our family. The service is personal and genuine. Our table side service where personal connection is made is meaningful. The food is always delicious. We enjoyed Cacio E Pepe, Pappardelle all a Bolognese, Pizza Funghi E Tartufo. Could not have been a better experience. The attentive and proud staff make all the difference in the experience.
