Online delivery order.I ain't gonna lie, I was really hesitant with ordering from here. I've never heard about this place.I ordered the ribeye and shrimp Alfredo and let me tell you this was to die for!!!!!! I was scared that the steak with mushroom being on the same pasta was going to be gross, but it worked well!

I don't write Yelp reviews often, but my experience at Win-Sputino was beyond horrifying--it was traumatizing. If you value your health, your dignity, or even your will to live, do not step foot into this so-called Italian restaurant.It started with a creamy seafood dish that I stupidly thought would be a "luxurious" treat on my Hawaiian vacation. Instead, it turned out to be pure poison on a plate. The sauce was a congealed, slimy mess, coating overcooked, rubbery chunks of seafood that tasted like they'd been dredged from the bottom of a sewer. There was this faint, rancid fishiness that lingered on my tongue--an ominous prelude to the nightmare that followed.Within hours, I was doubled over in pain, my stomach twisting like a wrung-out towel. Then the vomiting started. It wasn't just vomiting--it was an exorcism. Projectile, violent, and endless. I filled an entire bag with acidic, reeking vomit that splattered everywhere. The creamy seafood sludge came back up with a vengeance, its grotesque odor making me retch harder. Chunks of half-digested shellfish clawed their way up my throat, burning like battery acid.I couldn't stop. My body was purging everything it had ever consumed, or so it felt. My throat was raw, my stomach felt like it was tearing apart, and I was trembling so hard I couldn't stand. The smell of bile and rotting seafood clung to me, and no amount of water could wash it away. I spent hours hunched over the toilet, wishing for mercy.And for what? A dish that didn't even taste good. The sauce was heavy and overly salty, masking nothing but spoiled ingredients. It was like eating curdled cream mixed with week-old fish guts. I wouldn't serve it to my worst enemy.I'm scarred. Days later, I can still taste the rancid seafood when I close my eyes. Avoid Win-Sputino like it's radioactive. They should be shut down for crimes against humanity. Negative stars.

Over the years I would do take out orders with my friends and coworkers from this restaurant. Food has always been good. Located in Market City in Kapahulu, you'll find this restaurant upstairs above Thai Issan Cuisine. If you'd like to, they have dine in seating as well. It's nothing fancy, so you can go in casual attire. Open air louvre windows. This time around I had a special that wasn't on their menu, and was offered by I believe who may have been the owner. The dish was shrimp and scallops with onions and pink sauce. The pasta was very flavorful, but I did feel that they could have added couple more scallops and shrimps for the price we paid. It came with 3 pcs of shrimp and 3 pieces of scallops. My friend had the bacon and onion pasta with butter wine sauce and his was very flavorful as well! The bacon brought out the flavors! I believe the next time I may order this dish. They do have a lot of selections to choose from, it can be overwhelming. I would suggest checking this place out, maybe do a take out or go in the evening when it's cooler. I will go back to do take out, but choose another dish instead.

Hidden above Thai Issan in market city shopping center. Large portion Italian food and desserts. We usually order takeout because there's limited dine in seating that can feel a little claustrophobic. Service is always friendly and prompt. They have a huge menu that can pretty much cater to any of your request. They also have yummy cheesecakes that are worth checking out.

We grew up in Kaimuki and this was a hidden gem then. Fast forward after living on the mainland for four years and recently moving back home, it is a treasure to see that this gem is STILL here!I love that it's casual and BYOB. It means they are focusing on the meal and that IS the reason you go out to eat right :)With super friendly service, we were warmly welcomed when we arrived for our dinner reservation. Without any hesitation, they graciously brought wine glasses and a bucket of ice for the bottles of wine that we brought in. Our server mentioned the two entree specials for the evening and gave us a moment to decide.Since we were there for early dinner, our order was cooked fresh and served expeditiously. Hard to believe that such delicious entrées were served so quickly. And yes, we smelled the aroma from their open kitchen and observed them cooking away.We started with the salad sampler and garlic bread. Those were great appetizers and perfectly sized to share among four. I was pleasantly surprised with their lamb chop and pasta special. Grilled up just right and served with a smokey tomato sauce, loved it.Famous for their huge slice of lasagna, this was also fresh with melted cheese and we added mushrooms. Big enough for two people to share! We also had a scallop capri which had large tender scallops over pasta with a white wine sauce, super good.Our favorite was the shrimp and scallop over pasta with a lobster creme sauce. On point! Incredibly tasty and not too thick with heavy cream. Everyone at our tabled enjoyed this dish the most! As most of the positive reviews shared, these are large portions and we gladly packed up leftovers so we had space for dessert.No joke, if you appreciate tart passion fruit, their fresh batch of lilikoi cheesecake is the winner! We also had their mud pie ice cream slice, which was also completely finished by the end of our delicious dine in experience.Thank you for another great dinner. So glad that this treasure is still in the neighborhood. Cheers to many more :)

It was recommended by my very Italian friend so of course I had to try it. I had the daily special. Honestly I was not blown away. It was a typical tomato based pasta with seafood. Service was good, chef was pleasant. Pretty low key in the decor so I consider it pretty casual. We weren't rushed so it was nice to be able to hang out and chat.

Win-Spuntino our favorite Kaimuki Pasta Restaurant. Locally owned and operated. Cozy dining room overlooking the Market City Shopping Center. Owner and his staff are always friendly and welcoming. Entrees are expertly prepared and are always delicious. We had the Lasagna and Chicken Saltimbocca with a side order of Cheesy Garlic Bread. All winners!

The first time I tried their pasta was by take-out. Normally I feel like take-out portions are smaller than dining in, but the portion was huge! I shared the shrimp scampi with my friend and it was enough to feed us both. The pasta was cooked perfectly and for someone who loves lots of garlic, this pasta was chef's kiss. I also liked that the container was wrapped so sauce wouldn't spill out especially when scampi sauce is very oily. The second time I tried their pasta was at the restaurant. It's a little hole in the wall located upstairs of Thai Issan Cuisine. I came on a Saturday and luckily there was no wait and got seated right away. This place is BYOB with about five tables. This time I had the Penne Ricotta and it was super filling. I love that they add a lot of ricotta and mozzarella because I love my pastas extra cheesy. I even ended up eating some of the sauce. This place is perfect for a pasta date or lunch/dinner with friends :)

I got the chicken, shrimp and broccoli alfredo for takeout and not only was it bland and tasteless, but the broccoli they gave me was rotten and tasted like it'd been out for days. It was brown and mushy and when I opened the container, the food smelled rotten. I figured I could eat the other stuff because it was just the broccoli that smelled weird so I took them out and ate two small bites but wrong decision, I got food poisoning. I also know that it was from this for sure because this was the only thing I had to eat today and I only drank tea which I drink everyday. Normally, I don't mind if the food is bad because I can get another dish but the fact that they knowingly gave me broccoli that went bad and I got food poisoning is unacceptable.
