    We had a great dinner at the Kahala, we’ve eaten in Waikiki before and was looking forward to this. Our waiter was great and we enjoyed the food, wine and the ambiance, we will be back.

    Food was very tasteful. Service was great and waiter very personable. The presentation of complimentary desert celebrating our 50th anniversary was excellent…written in chocolate! It all made it a very special night for us. Thank you

    Everything was wonderful. The food was excellent. We had carpaccio, cacio e pepe, bolognese, and filet; we couldn’t pick a favorite dish if we tried. Our server, Leo was excellent and made sure we had a great experience. The live music added to the ambience. 100% recommend.

    When In Honolulu, you must visit this place for amazing Italian cuisine and impeccable service. We had the Cacio e pepe and salt encrusted sea bass that were both prepared tableside. Fun and so delicious! Diego is an outstanding, caring server.
