Arancino di Mare

This was my first night ever in Hawaii, and it was also my birthday and love Italian, so we had to check this out! Every single item we ordered was so yummy and I even got to eat pasta made in a cheese bowl?! Susan and Angelika did an awesome job serving us and gave us a ton of information about the island. They are great at their jobs, and made the pasta in front of us! We were able to be sat outside surrounded by lights and though we were near the busy street, the chattering of customers you didn't really pay attention to it. We had an awesome table and they made the night very memorable. We will be back!

This place was amazing. The appetizer of scallops and fried calamari was yummy yum yum. The lasagna was temperature hot and delicious. It has thin layers of pasta made it with the layers of cheese. The pasta carbonara was amazing and yummy yum yum. Oh the lobster bisque was over the top but the sale was just average. The tiramisu was more cakey than creamy. The orange crème brûlée was very cold and flavored like orange. It expensive and I think that it is delicious but it would need to be a reason of a special occasion to go not just to have dinner.

Decent Italian food. Calimary was an in-house variety which was appreciated. The ribeye was perfectly cooked, maybe on this side of the dish being a bit small for the price, however, the quality was there, and enjoyed it.The drinks were decent. The service was terrific. Everyone, and it was a large party stated they enjoyed their meals. So finally decent food in Waikiki. Yippy

Met up with some friends for dinner, my choice, everyone wanted Italian and I happen to love this restaurant at the end of Waikiki. Using the valet for the next door hotel was a breeze and just a short walk to the restaurant. Our reservations were for indoor dining but the outdoor setup is really inviting...maybe next time. Walking in, the bar is front and center but not huge. It was busy, not noisy, you could tell the patrons were having a great time.Our table for six was set up and waiting when we arrived so we received menus and bread service, water and time to peruse before ordering. About five minutes later when we were ready to order our waiter was right there to assist with questions and answers. Placing our orders we were in for a great dinner starting with appetizers, a beautiful caprese salads, mixed green salads, one soup of the day and our chosen entrees. There is absolutely no rush here. The dishes aren't being placed in front of you before you've finished a course so they can turn over the table. A relaxing dining experience. Finished with Tiramisu, sorbets, Affagado, coffee and espresso. Weather was perfect and the ambience is wonderfully inviting, you won't be disappointed whether you choose to dine inside or out. Casual or dressy you will not feel out of place.

First time here, service was very fast. Both foods and drinks arrived as fast as the main course. The pasta to me was great in terms of flavors. But I was told that it was to be on the saltier side because of the goat cheese. We pair that up with the three meats pizza and it still retain it cheesy flavor without too much salt. The pizza was perfect in terms crispiness and texture. We sat outside and got to experience the partial sunset. The street was not too busy, just enough people passing by. I would absolutely encourage this seating and this restaurant.

I enjoyed the food at Arancino at the Kahala so was excited to try this Arancino in the Marriott Waikiki. The location is good however, it's a lot noisier and more crowded at this location.I started with the prosciutto and arugula salad with Italian dressing. It's a house specialty and was very good. The prosciutto was flavorful, vegetables fresh and dressing very refreshing. My entree was the tobiko and calamari with spaghetti noodles and a garlic olive oil sauce. The tobiko was salty, calamari very soft and tasty, and spaghetti al dente.. Unfortunately, the sauce was too oily for me and overwhelmed the whole dish. A lighter, less oily sauce would be perfect since the combination of ingredients worked well together. Dessert was the crema catalana, an orange grand marinier custard. Served cold with a nice crusted top layer, it was cool, refreshing, and just sweet enough!The service was excellent. I felt the tables were little too close for comfort. Overall, it was a nice night out though.

This unexpectedly fabulous Italian restaurant, just off Waikiki Beach, knocked our socks off. Pasta is freshly made, sauces are divine and ingredients super fresh. If you're ready for a break from the usual Hawaiian fare, give this place a try!

We didn't have a reservation which you really need at this spot. Luckily we table to sit at the bar, Jose and Nathan were the bartenders. Jose was absolutely AMAZING ! He was non stop working while smiling and being very attentive. Nathan was extremely disappointing, he barely did anything and was drinking on the job, watched him pour a big glass of Tito's and Sri k it while "working" so annoying.Either way food was great and would recommend!

We found this restaurant via Yelp and of course they were pretty booked as are most restaurants in Waikiki. It was walkable distance from our hotel, so we walked over to put our name on the waitlist. It took about a little over a hour to get seated. It was a nice night, so we sat outside. We ordered Arancini for appetizer, I ordered the Cacio e Pepe, and my husband had the lasagna. All the food was great and it was a fun experience as they made my Cacio e Pepe in an actually Parmesan cheese wheel. We enjoyed this place and they do offer to take photos of you during dinner, but it does cost to purchase them. Overall, a good place in Waikiki!

We were quoted a 25-minute wait for a table for two, which ended up taking a little over 30 minutes--not a big issue. However, waiting over 50 minutes after that when we arrived at our table for our food forced us to take it to go. When we finally got home to Pearl City, we were disappointed to find the portion small and unappetizing--adding insult to injury.Bottom Line:If your kitchen capacity cannot keep up with the number of tables you serve, this should be reflected in the wait times so customers can make informed decisions. We had other commitments and did not anticipate such a frustrating experience.Prioritizing profit over respect for your customers creates resentment in the community, and this experience has left a lasting negative impression. For the cost of this meal, I will ensure your restaurant loses at least four times the amount we paid while actively warning others about this poor service and mismanagement. Enjoy the consequences.
