Hole in the wall joint on Beachwalk serving outstanding Italian fare with a Japanese influenced menu. Sat solo, lovely Jaedyn served me with her A game……started out with a couple bottles of Menabrea Italian Pilsner to pair with the Affetato Misto Charcuterie which was a cured meat lover’s delight!! Second course was the daily special…….Spaghetti alla Puttanesca Polpo and this was truly an Ohtani grand slam loaded with octopus, olives, garlic and extra heat!!! But wait, since I burned a lot of calories surfing the rough waves at Ala Moana, ordered the Carbonara pizza for dessert and a glass of Italian Pinot Nero. Wow, that was the mother of all pizzas, raw egg and all!!! So I highly recommend Arancino because it serves fantastic Italian with a lot of Aloha on top!!

The seafood pasta was the best I've ever had.The rest of the menu is good, but I think the pasta is especially good at this restaurant.It was unfortunate that the timing of the food being served was not good and everything was brought at the same time.
