    Arancino at the Kahala is a great choice for residents and visitors alike. Try any one of their pastas for great flavors and textures. We have had most of them and never been disappointed. The caprese is lovely, made with fresh local tomatoes and quality mozarella. Calmari appetizer is excellent, only lightly battered. The wine list can be expensive but their are good choices in several price ranges. All this and the lovely atmosphere of the Kahala Hotel as well.

    This may be the best Italian restaurant on island. The food brought my family back to when we lived in Italia and the service was phenomenal. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the pizza had an authentic taste, the wine selection was adequate and the staff is amazing. The complimentary valet was a nice touch as well. Highly recommend and will be returning for more great experiences.

    メインとリゾットが一緒に来て、リゾットが冷めて美味しさが半減した。まだ、高齢の母と伺ったので食べるスピードが遅いとわかるはずなのに食べてる最中下げようとするし、誕生日の写真も撮ってくれない。毎年行ってるが今年はサービスが最悪だった。
