    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.

    My wife and I had a lovely dinner at Arancino. It’s a bit of a drive from Waikiki to get there but the Uber cost was not expensive. The Cacio e Pepe is prepared table side. Restaurant is not very large but not cramped either.
