 Far Eastern spaghetti |
1585 Kapiolani Boulevard (Corner of Kaheka Street) Honolulu, HI 96814-4525 United States +1 808 941 0555 |
Part of a chain of Japanese-owned Italian restaurants, this airy, glass-fronted casual eatery two blocks away from Ala Moana Shopping Center is popular with the local crowd for its mix-and-match approach to spaghetti and pizza. Toppers include Asian favorites like corn, enoki mushrooms, squid and pickled mustard cabbage, as well as the usual roster of Italian flavor combos. Salads likewise come with a choice of interesting Japanese dressings; a signature dish is the shredded raw potato salad. Another location is at 885 Kapahulu Avenue. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Italian in Waikiki |
2201 Kalakaua Avenue (Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center) Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 924 7788 |
Traditional Continental and Italian cuisine is the hallmark of this romantic, stylish restaurant in the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center. In spite of the restaurant's vast size, attention to each customer is quite good, and the food is excellent. The lasagna is exceptional, as is the Linguine ala Vongole. Most of the prices are quite reasonable. The owners have created an extensive wine list that includes Italian, French and California vintages. Review © 2007, Wcities |

In Waikiki |
255 Beachwalk Ave Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 923 5557 http://www.arancino.net |
This is a cozy place on a side street in Waikiki. The name means "little orange" in Italian; how that relates to the restaurant's cuisine is anyone's guess. Since it's a little difficult to find, you must call first for directions. The cuisine is regional Italian. The food is great, featuring classic items such as Caesar salad and fresh lobster. The specialty of the house is a pizza prepared with shrimp, Maui onions, and more cheese than you really need. It is simply to die for! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Large, pleasant, modern |
1450 Ala Moana Boulevard (Ala Moana Center) Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 942 3446 |
Spacious, breezy and modern, this restaurant is equally appropriate for business lunches or family dinners. It has an extensive - if not very creative - menu that features deliciously prepared Italian favorites. Entrees include Baked Stuffed Eggplant, Sicilian Chicken and Rigatoni alla Ricotta. From the outside, the distinguishing feature of the restaurant is the large, square fountain, graced with an eight-foot-high abstract sculpture. The interior is airy and bright, with a pristine white tiled floor and chrome fixtures. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Family Italian |
1099 South Beretania Street Corner of Beretania and Pensacola Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 523 8855 |
A family favorite for casual dining, this restaurant offers consistently good pasta and standard Italian specialties like Eggplant Parmesan or Veal Marsala. Few items on the menu are more than $10. Checkered tablecloths and a chalkboard menu are highlights of the comfortable decor. Great fresh-baked bread is brought to your table, along with a small plate of raw veggies. Alcoholic beverages are available for about $4 per glass. It can be difficult to find street parking in the downtown neighborhood. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Great Italian bistro |
98-115 Kaonohi St Honolulu, HI 96816 United States +1 808 487 5544 http://www.bravorestaurant.com/ |
The decor of this place is classic Italian, right down to the checkered tablecloths. It attracts large groups, both families and off-duty Navy boys. The house specialties are homemade ravioli, lasagna and cannelloni. The rotisserie chicken cannot be topped, and the pizza menu is terrific. There is a cozy bar that gets pretty rowdy at times, but the main dining room will shield you from the noise. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Artful and inventive Italiano |
1314 King Street (between Keeaumoku and Piikoi streets) Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 596 0061 http://www.cafesistina.com/ |
Owner/chef Sergio Mitrotti decorated the walls of this restaurant with original murals. Marble tables and stone floors create an elegant setting for Mitrotti's reproduction of Michelangelo's Creation Panel from the Sistine Chapel (thus, Cafe Sistina). The menu includes such dishes as Lobster Ravioli (with bay shrimp, sun dried tomatoes and radicchio in a vermouth cream sauce, $15.50). Vegetarians should try the Fettucine del Frate. An excellent selection of Italian and California wines may be ordered by the glass. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Chic, casual lunch spot |
1067 Alakea Street Honolulu, HI 96813-4506 United States +1 808 524 4064 |
A San Francisco native comes to the tropics, and the result is this charming neighborhood eatery. It's just the sort of place - casual yet chic, laid back yet ultra-modern - that you find all over San Francisco or Miami Beach. However, in Honolulu it's a bit of an anomaly. Simple, perfectly-prepared Northern Italian cuisine is a delight. Homemade pastas and kiawe-grilled meats are all delicious. Vegetarians can order the kiawe-grilled vegetables.

Small Wakiki bistro |
339 Saratoga Road Suite 23 Honolulu, HI 96815-1943 United States +1 808 924 1414 |
Laura Prospero, owner of this bistro, is an authentic daughter of the Old Country. Her place has just a few tables inside and several outside on the narrow lanai. A three-course prix fixe menu ($35) includes several choices of appetizer, soup and entree. On any given evening you can dine on delights such as Gnocchi With Gorgonzola Cheese or Veal Scaloppini Marsala. Laura's deserts are works of art. Try Tiramisu or a hot croissant filled with vanilla ice cream, topped with chocolate sauce. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Italian in Ala Moana |
1778 Ala Moana Boulevard (Discovery Bay Condo Complex) Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 942 5250 |
As the name suggests, this place serves up great Italian food in a festive, family atmosphere. House specialties include Capricciosa Pizza and Smoked Salmon Salad. It is located between Waikiki and downtown in Ala Moana across from the Ilikai Hotel. The spicy grilled chicken in a delectable rosemary sauce is worthy of any diner's attention. You can pay a lot more for Italian food in Honolulu, but as long as this eatery keeps its door open, there's no need. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Lively Italian on the Row |
500 Ala Moana Boulevard (Restaurant Row) Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 550 8005 |
Various incarnations of this Italian eatery have been around Honolulu for years, but the location on Restaurant Row in downtown Honolulu could definitely be the one that sticks around. It's in one of the top dining destinations in the city, and is on all major bus and trolley lines. The sophisticated Italian cuisine is served with flair. Homemade pastas in rich sauces are one specialty, grilled meat dishes another. Live music serves as a backdrop nightly. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Fun place near Waikiki |
477 Kapahulu Avenue Suite 200 Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 732 5525 |
This is a terrific neighborhood pizza parlor that also offers great pasta dishes, salads, and authentic Italian sandwiches. The portions here are quite large. The espresso milk shake is probably the best shake of any kind on the island of O'ahu. A nice bottle of wine will only set you back $16. Try the Grilled Panini. You'll see why Frommer's Travel Guide highly recommends this place. Parties of more than five people should make reservations ahead of time. Review © 2007, Wcities |

The power of 3 |
500, Ala Moana Boulevard in Restaurant Row Honolulu, HI 96813 United States +1 808 533 4476 http://www.restauranteur.com/h... |
Hiroshi Fukui (master chef), Chuck Furuya (master sommelier) and D.K. Kodama (chef and restaurateur) have come together to create one of Hawaii's, if not the most hippest place to dine at in Oahu. The cuisine is a fusion of Japanese and European to create eclectic dishes that are an experience in themselves. The melt in your mouth crabs, scallop and seafood tapas are specially sought after as are the fusion meat preparations. The wine pairing deserve a mention, with up to 20 wines that one can order by the glass. If you've never tried fusion and didn't know where to start, this would be your best bet.

Popular island Italian |
354 Uluniu Street Honolulu, HI 96734 United States +1 808 261 2772 |
While the sophisticated, minimalist decor might suggest otherwise, this restaurant welcomes families. The dress code is casual. Pasta, seafood and grilled meats are served. A signature menu item is the Chicken Vegetable Linguine ($14). At lunchtime, each menu item is priced about $2 lower than at dinner. This is one of four such restaurants on O'ahu. The small chain is popular because of its reasonable prices, extensive menu and comfortable atmosphere. It is equally suitable for business lunches, happy hours or family dinners.

More than 20 food stands, three sit-down restaurants and a bar are located here. You can choose from any kind of cuisine, including American, Hawaiian, vegetarian and Indian. Fresh fruit smoothies, pastries and daiquiris can all be enjoyed. While there are quite a few standard food stands - Sbarro, Blimpies - the local ones are much more interesting. Little Cafe Siam serves Thai food, the Noodle Co. offers a dozen kinds of sai min, and the Poi Bowl serves a Hawaiian plate lunch. The average cost is $40. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Charming European bistro |
1956 Ala Moana Boulevard (Doubletree Alana Hotel) Honolulu, HI 96814 United States +1 808 946 3456 |
Proprietor and executive chef Philippe Padovani was formerly the executive chef of the exclusive Manele Bay Hotel on Lana'i. He opened this gourmet room, located in the DoubleTree Alana Waikiki, and styles it after the finest restaurants in France. The sophisticated decor is dominated by rich woods and carpeting. The separate wine bar upstairs has 40 fine vintages on a cruvinet system—the wine equivalent to beer on tap. Cuisine described as Mediterranean-French/Hawai'i Regional features items such as Maine Lobster in a Lobster Cream Sauce and Pan-fried Scallops with Leeks and Sun-dried Tomatoes.

This is a nice, casual neighborhood hangout where you can easily satiate yourself on the food and surroundings. Laid-back and friendly, it's ideal for a family meal out or for when you have a hankering to feel you've been invited to dinner with an Italian family. Huge portions of traditional Italian dishes with lots of garlic are the standard fare. Fresh sourdough bread is plentiful, as are the carafes of wine. Peak dinner hours draw a crowd, so make reservations or eat early. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Italian at the Hilton |
2005 Kalia Road Honolulu, HI 96815 United States +1 808 941 2254 |
One of a dozen restaurants in the Hilton Hawaiian Village, this centrally located eatery offers a variety of Italian favorites. The grandiose, sunny lobby makes for an atmosphere that's halfway between indoor and outdoor. Because of the proximity to the ocean, seafood is featured in many of the dishes. Start with an order of Crab and Artichoke Dip, or for something more local, try the Ahi Carpaccio. Other entrees include Fettucine con Vongole, fresh fish of the day and a hearty cioppino.
