arancino PIZZA & PASTA

Pretty decent little Italian spot; almost easy to miss or walk past! Pretty low key, like not too fancy or anything to get dressed up for. Very friendly and welcoming vibe with good people working here. A little short of being wowed by it, can't quite put my finger on why, but totally respectable. Good food. Like I don't think you necessarily need to go out of your way for it, but I'd totally go back with it being a very short walk from some of the places in the immediate area.

I went for the lunch special and the quality of the food was exceedingly fresh and delicious for the price*! I had to pause and really take my time because I wanted to savor the pizza as much as I could. My waitress was Rachel and she was very friendly and accommodating, and was very helpful in regards to recommendations and being understanding of my clumsy handling of Italian words on the menu lol. Overall highly recommended, will be returning! *note: as a Kamaʻāina (Hawaii state resident), I did get a small discount on the Lunch offer, bringing it down from $28 to $21, so make sure you present your ID if you're a Hawaii resident! I splurged on beer and dessert, so if you skip those, it's very easy to get a very satisfying meal in < $30 excluding tip, resident or not.

What an amazing find. Rachel talked us into lunch as we stopped by to eat our shaved ice on their bench. I'm so grateful to them and their amazing food. Everything is made in house. And taste amazing. Thanks yall. A hui hou!!!

Second visit here and the food is great. The service is spectacular. They came by table several times with different management and server to check on us. Delicious!

Taste great 👍 Most convenient for those staying at Waikiki area. If driving. The Kahala location maybe the best place to visit. The employees are friendly and used to communicate with tourists 🎊

The food here was amazing! We had the seafood pasta and a squid ink pasta. Great serving sizes and great food! They even have us a special ice cream as we were celebrating our anniversary. The inside is a bit poky and loud but all in all worth a try

This fabulous establishment take extremely good care of both of my companies admins that were present during the dinner 🍽! We were informed by your serve NONI to come show some support and enjoy a one of a kind autheinc cusine and I got just that and than some. Both meals were cooked fresh 😋 the ingredients were superb 👌, and the waiter was one of a kind! He was tall, bald head from TEXAS! I forget his name, but he was the TRUTH for sure. Much love to this restaurant, Ase! 💯✈️💪🏿🐐
