   We have walked past this restaurant multiple times over ten years and never stopped. Last night I had made a reservation to celebrate our anniversary. They accommodated my request for a quiet table. Each food item surpassed my expectations. The service was extra. We will be coming back.

   Disappointing at best. Confusion with front desk and they gave our reservation outside to someone else although they called to say our table was ready. Glass of wine was about a thimble size for 16.00 Waiter forgot our bread and tries to blame another server and did the same when returning my credit card to the table, which took forever. Food was fine but overall experience was disappointing. Wish we had dined elsewhere.

   お食事は美味しかったのですが、ワイングラスが香水の臭いがしてワインの香りを損ねていたのが残念です　またオーダしたワインを間違っていた

   Food was fabulous and service was excellent. Only issue was the parents with a screaming child seated behind us-thankfully they came when we were close to being finished.

   We dined here 2 nights while in Hawaii. Everything we had was amazing! The chicken was delicious and the bolognese was the best I’ve ever had. Service was friendly and totally contributed to our wonderful experience.

   Okay Italian food in Oahu. We were seated upstairs and the only server was very busy so service was not great. We shared an ample salad but it didn’t have enough dressing. We decided not to ask for more since it was tough to get our server’s attention. My husband ordered Spaghetti Bolognese and was not even offered grated Parmesan. Again, after a lengthy delay getting server’s attention, he was told if he wanted freshly grated parmigiana there would be a $3 upcharge! Wtf! In our 70’s and we have eaten in probably 100 Italian restaurants across the world and have never been up charged for grated parmigiana! He wanted it so now there was another 5 minute wait for it. Meanwhile, dinner has gotten cold. Ok so charge your $3 but offer it when the food is delivered. So thoughtless and took away the ambiance of eating Italian. My black squid linguini with fruitti de mare (seafood) was delivered lukewarm at best and was incredibly salty. We didn’t really enjoy the meal for the price. Tiramisu was the highlight.

   Overpriced, particularly the wine list. Food was fair. Service was too fast - we barely finished a shared appetizer when a tepid entree was served. Would certainly not ever go back.

   We almost sit Japanese customers area at this time. I think it is easier to manage the Japanese customer for you, but it was un-comfortable for us.

    Beautiful outdoor seating. Ask for it. Inside was very noisy. And tables very close together. Very touristy area, so brace yourself for a lot of people. Only had spaghetti as their pasta. All pasta dishes were spaghetti with different sauces. Our bottle of red wine was stored at room temperature. 75 degrees is not the correct temp for red wine. Had to ask for a wine bucket. One good note, the waitress was delightful and worked very hard to please.
