Arancino di Mare

This is a restaurant I visited twice during my 12-day stay in Hawaii. The quality and taste of the food were excellent, and the pasta enjoyed with wine at the outdoor table was absolutely outstanding. Today, February 14th, is my birthday. It wasn’t anything big, but I truly appreciated the thoughtful birthday surprise from Arancino. It made my day very special. You should definitely visit — you won’t regret it! Thank you, Arancino!

Best authentic Italian restaurant on Oahu in my opinion! Their dishes taste just like Italy. I love that all their pastas come out perfectly al dente without having to ask them. We got the Bolognese and carbonara pasta and they were both to die for. They took me back to our trip to Rome. The carbonara especially was AMAZING. Like holy moly SO good, rich and creamy. I highly recommend getting the carbonara… it’s super filling too— my husband and I couldn’t finish it. For appetizers we got the famous Arancino croquettes which are super crispy and yummy. Their argula prosciutto salad was yummy and tasty too. Service was great! Our waitress was quick and responsive and very nice. You do need reservations here or expect to wait at least 30 minutes… It’s busy. The only bummer about the ambien

Expensive. But definitely worth it. Only complaint is the tiramisu was bland. My buddy from Sicily Italy said the food tasted exactly like it. We got the calamari and the fried rice balls(forgot the name) for appetizer DEFINITELY get that. They have an entree where they cook it in a cheese wheel, only get if you like salt. My other buddies dishes were amazing if u don’t like salt. Highly recommend for a date night. Best Italian pasta I have had on this island.

Good Italian food a fair price considering the location and atmosphere.The menu is predominantly pasta and pizza. For non-carb main dishes there were only 2 choices of steak and a branzino. I wish the restaurant would offer more choices of non-carb mains.

Let’s start with the ambience. The ocean’s beauty is captured in the soothing sounds, a gentle breeze, and the delightful scents of Hawaii, intermingled with the subtle aroma of Italy and scents of Hawaii. Customer service is paramount. It determines whether I choose to dine here or leave. The staff was exceptional. Despite a 15-minute wait, which is reasonable for a well-established establishment with a full dining house, we were treated with respect and courtesy. As the host escorted me to my table, I was promptly served bread and water. While perusing the menu, I decided to order a light beer that was recommended. I ordered a cast iron lasagna and the Bulgonese. To start, how about some of the arancini, those special fried frita balls? They were delicious! The sauce for fried balls
