Tiano's Restaurant

Tiano's Restaurant, a local gem tucked away closer to Kunia than its Waipahu address might suggest, recently caught my attention due to its glowing reviews. On a spontaneous visit, I was genuinely impressed with the establishment's cleanliness, exceptional service, and the quality of the food. Despite initially appearing pricey, the portions justify the expense, generously sized enough to share between two people with leftovers to spare.I tried the kalbi, which was outstanding. The meat was tender, richly flavored without any hint of being burnt, a rarity especially in boneless cuts which often lose some flavor. The quantity and quality of the food, combined with the excellent customer service, make Tiano's not just a once-in-a-while spot but a compelling choice for regular visits. For anyone in the area or even worth a drive, Tiano's offers a dining experience that feels worth every penny, providing a welcome dining option on the west side where choices can be limited.

Went shopping at Walmart and was getting late so decided to get take out at Tiano's. My boyfriend got the oxtail and I got the prime rib. Both was sooo good! The broth of the oxtail had so much flavor. My boyfriend thought it was weird it had long rice inside but trying it he said it was genius. The only other place I tried prime rib was at cattle company and Tiano's is way better ! It did have a lot of fat on it but it was so good. I love that they had straight horseradish. The oxtail does come with rice. And for the prime rib it comes with asparagus and mash potatoes BUT I asked for rice instead. I tried other things at Tiano's but the oxtail and prime rib has to be my favorite. When doing take out make sure to ask for utensils. I assumed there would be utensils. Sorry if I missed a sign saying utensils upon request. That's the reason for only 4 stars..

After reading the reviews, we decided to try this place. Was a little difficult to find, so you'll want to look for the Jack in the Box and the Bank of Hawaii. (Its in that area of the shopping center)Daughter ordered the shrimp pasta and loved it. Shrimps were colossal size, almost as big as my lobster tail! She said it was delicious!I ordered the Rib-Eye steak and Lobster tail. Lobster was a nice size for the price and cooked well. It came with a 10oz Rib-Eye, which was unfortunately over cooked. (I ordered Medium and it was served Well-done) Could have been more seasoned in my opinion, but still good nonetheless.For desert, we got the crème Brule. Delicious and a big portion!Will be back, but I think if I order the steal again, I'll ask for rare, and hopefully get Medium. Haha!

We recently celebrated my mother-in-law's birthday at Tiano's Restaurant, and it was an absolutely delightful experience from start to finish. Everything about this evening--the ambiance, the food, and the service--made it a night to remember.Ambiance:The moment we walked in, we felt the warmth and charm of Tiano's. The decor strikes the perfect balance between casual and upscale, making it ideal for both special occasions and everyday dining. The lighting was soft but bright enough to fully appreciate the presentation of the dishes. Our table was thoughtfully set, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming without feeling crowded or rushed. There was a calm buzz of happy diners that added to the celebratory feel of the evening.Service:The service at Tiano's was impeccable. From the moment we were greeted, the staff made us feel special. They were attentive without hovering, ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the evening. Our server took the time to explain menu items and made some excellent recommendations. Knowing it was my mother-in-law's birthday, they added thoughtful touches to make her feel celebrated, which we truly appreciated.Food:Now, onto the star of the evening--the food! Every single dish we ordered was absolutely phenomenal.I started with the Poke Nachos, and wow, what a way to kick things off. The fresh, perfectly seasoned ahi poke was paired with crispy wonton chips and a drizzle of flavorful sauces that hit every note--savory, spicy, and slightly sweet. The textures were on point, and I could have happily made a meal out of just that dish.For my main course, I couldn't resist the Prime Rib. It was cooked to perfection--tender, juicy, and seasoned just right. The horseradish sauce and au jus on the side complemented the meat without overpowering it. My second entrée choice, the Garlic Shrimp, was equally impressive. The shrimp were plump and flavorful, with just the right amount of garlic and a touch of buttery richness. It was a decadent yet perfectly portioned dish.And then came dessert. We opted for the Fried Ube Ice Cream, and it was the perfect ending to the meal. The crispy outer shell of the fried dough gave way to creamy, sweet ube ice cream that had just the right hint of nuttiness. It was both unique and delicious--a dessert I will be dreaming about for weeks to come.Overall:Tiano's exceeded all of our expectations. The combination of incredible food, stellar service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere made my mother-in-law's birthday dinner unforgettable. It's rare to find a restaurant that gets every element so right, and Tiano's is clearly one of those gems.Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply want an exceptional dining experience, Tiano's is the place to go. We'll definitely be back soon!

Had the pleasure of eating here for the millionth time... Tiano's is so good! The comfort level of this food is beyond comfort... It's Comfortable! You could close your eyes and point to the menu. Whatever your finger lands on is sure to be a hit... All the servers are friendly and make sure to check up on you to make sure your food is good and drinks are filled.

Decided to Celebrate Xmas dinner with Friends, As always the food and service is Excellent. Aloha, Derek

The food is awesome. Their menu has a lot of different varieties, and entree's. Which makes ordering and choosing what to eat, very difficult. Especially if you love Filipino/local food. Menu is pretty pricey and kinda expensive for some. But I found it to be reasonable and worth the price. So I don't mind it as much. Their prime rib was soo good. Especially with their Au ju sauce. Might want to request more Au Ju sauce to go. Maybe a bigger ramekin/portion. As it wasn't enough for the Garlic Mash. Garlic mash portion was a lot. More than enough to eat with the prime rib. The Garlic fries was very good as an appetizer, or..side add on. Highly recommend! Definitely returning!

First time at Tiano's Kunia (I've been once 7 years ago at the Ewa Beach location), and I must say the food is amazing! I was recommended by a friend to check it out and I'm glad I did!We came in on a Saturday night at around 6:00pm as a walk in. It was fairly empty, and they easily accommodated a family of 4 and a very active baby girl in a high chair. The tables are spaced fairly, and very family friendly!The hostess as well as the servers were so sweet and kind, from the time we walked in, to the time we left, we felt like we were fully attended to. Even as the restaurant started to pick up, we were continually checked up on. I really love the option for bottomless soft drinks for only $3.50! They give you one basket of hot garlic rolls for free (comes with 4 or 5 I believe), the next round is $1.00 each. It was so sweet of our server to give us an extra plain roll for our baby girl without me having to ask, just the sweetest thing! We've heard great reviews about the trio and the prime rib, so my husband and I ordered one of each. Both dishes were $28 each. The prime rib was so juicy and tender, and the mashed potatoes were so flavorful. The trio was great, the fish wasn't overcooked, the kalbi (according to my husband), was the best he ever tried, and the garlic chicken was very flavorful. Food for sure was a 10/10! My kids ordered a grilled cheese and cheeseburger, both with fries, and they enjoyed it.What's not pictured is our desert. We got a banana lumpia with vanilla ice cream, and boyyyy, it was GOOD. The lumpia was hot, crunchy, and the banana was sweet. Mix that with the scoop of vanilla ice cream and it's a pretty dangerous combo.At the end of the night, we checked out happy and satisfied. As I left outside to buckle in my fussy 11 month old, our hostess comes running out with our boxed leftovers that we forgot. I appreciate that she stopped to give us our food, as we were so busy handling the kids. Our experience was a 10/10 for sure, and I think my husband and I found our new date night spot. I can't wait to try this place again just the two of us! Highly recommend!

The menu has been updated, still the food is well seasoned, proper portions or even more portions. Ambiance is nice, friendly & can be romantic. Decor is upscale & very pleasant. Staff is very friendly & very accommodating. Love the food & the staff & you will too.

Always great food and nice atmosphere. Service is also top notch! Their poke nachos are BOMB!!!
