    Very disappointing. The food was excellent, however the service was terrible from beginning to end and spoiled what was supposed to be a special event.

    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!

    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.
