When seeing that this restaurant had nearly 5 stars, my girlfriend and I were so excited. We’d never been to such a highly rated restaurant before. After eating here I believe it is deserving of 5 stars, hands down! This was the best restaurant that we’ve been to in the world. The service was great and food came out in a timely manner. The price to value is fair and our meal was less than $100, which seems small even for Hawaii prices! We will be coming back every time we’re in Hawaii.

Presentation was really impressive and the steak was really high quality and it’s cooked perfectly. The server was very good but for some reason we ordered wine and it didn’t come until an hour later. The manager kindly comped the wine. We also got a free dessert for our anniversary celebration. Great ambience.

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!
