    It was a perfect evening to celebrate my best friend’s birthday! It was her first time experiencing the fine cuisine at Arancino. Certainly my family’s favorite place to celebrate our celebrations. Our server Corie was very attentive, very friendly with a beautiful smile that made you feel welcomed.

    Amazing experience! First time parents and we came with our baby. They had a table for us and our baby stroller ready as soon as we arrived. 5star service and the food is perfecto! Live music and just a beautiful scenery made for an amazing night out with my family. Looking forward to returning for many more. Mahalo Arancino staff!!!

    Amazing as always. I usually dine here 2x a month if not more. This particular visit we were missing abby the bartender who serves amazing drinks. However, Christopher gave us amazing customer service- all the way down to noticing our bags were hanging on the chair so he brought us both purse hooks to hang our purse on the table. Overall a lovely experience. P.S the arancino cocktail is amazing if you like sweet drinks like how I do!

    Our dining experience last night was fabulous. Our waiter, Thor, was awesome. They timed everything just right. We got the Caprese Salad, and three apps, as well as the uni pasta. Each dish was better than the last. Highly recommend!

    Our server was mediocre at best, she was only concerned with the up sell and made sure to remind us what proper top percentages were, she was so rude. The food was ok. There are better Italian places in Honolulu.

    Enjoyed the evening with a business colleague. We’ve eaten here before and it did not disappoint. Great wine, delicious caprese salad and one of the best Cacio de Pepe pasta. The tiramisu was just the finishing touch. Can’t wait to return.

    わたしたちのテーブルに付いた二人の男性のホスピタリティがとても良かった。一人の人が新人だったのかな、慣れない様子でしたが一生懸命さが伝わって来ました。お料理も最高でした。

    Food was great. The uni pasta, wagyu bolognese , lamb and tenderloin w foie gras and demi glacé were excellent. Scallop carpaccio was luxurious.
