“ Much Mahalos to especially Maria, Arben, Christian, Micah for a great dinner & time for my 63yrs young birthday dinner...they all took good care of us. We will be back again, & again!! ”
“ Wow. Incredible. Outstanding. Must dine here. We did dine here with friends which made the experience that much better; especially when you can share more incredible dishes. We started with the Arancini and the pizza both very good, and very unique (would like to say a must order, but everything we ate was that good and I would describe as “a must order”). We followed up with the Pappardelle alla Bolognese, Spaghetti alla Carbonara and Risotto al Parmigiano. Pure decadence. Three simple dishes perfectly made and impeccably served. Now when you eat this much, this well, you absolutely need a little something to end this great a meal. The Bonet was the perfect amount of a perfect dessert. A chocolate & Amareto custard, caramel, Amaretto disarano with house made whip cream. And if all of this wasn’t enough ad a port wine. Seek this place out. A must if you are visiting Oahu. ”
“ I'm so happy that I was finally able to dine at Arancino. The uni pasta, chefs kiss, so good. Other dishes were equally tasty. The Kahala is a beautiful hotel. Also the aesthetic and atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Made it a memorable night on my birthday. ”
“ We had a lovely dinner with our family and kids last night at the Kahala resturant. The waiter Leo gave us exceptional recommendations as we are picky Italian eaters from Australia. Desert sizing was the only thing that was disappointing. We had the antipasto, aranchini(amazing), the crab and sea urchin pasta. The kids loved the cheese pizza with Nutella ears in the shape of Mikey mouse Leo the waiter was exceptional! ”
“ We had dinner at Arancino within the Kahala hotel, and the place was packed on Saturday night. We didn't have a reservation but were lucky enough to get seats at the bar. Our pizzas were very good, and the service at the bar was outstanding. We had a great time all they way around here tonight! ”
