WOW....talk about bad food, bad service, and WAY over priced. This restaurant is 'supposed' to be fantastic....don't believe it. Trust me. I was all excited to eat italian food....and this did NOT measure up at all. I was VERY disappointed. For 4 people, no apps, and only 2 glasses of wine the bill was $140. More

Decent food, bad atmosphere, and awful service. Don't even think of ordering anything from the bar, because they short pour. The food was just average, there are definitely better choices if you are looking for a good italian dinner. More

The food was awful. My wife's pasta had no taste and the shrimp were so bland. I ordered veal that was drowned in overly salty sauce that allowed zero of the veal taste to come through. If you want a good meal in Waikiki hit up Duke's...but you NEED reservations or you will be waiting 2 hrs+. The food is... More

My wife and I dined here on April 23rd as it was right opposite the Royal Kuhio where we were staying. The actual service was okay and the semi circle lounge type seating was cosy however the food was just horrible. It was as if there was almost no flavour at all. Based on this I would have to say...

We agree with everything on the Oct. 9, 2006 review. We visited this restaurant (as recommended by Cirque Hawaii - good show!) April 3, 2007 and it was disgusting. The rear of the restaurant is very dark with pink lighting which makes you feel like you're in a cheap strippers dive, and the smell is of old parmesan - i.e.... More

We thought this would be a lovely Italian Restaurant, with great atmosphere and great food - like you find in most restaurants in Waikiki. How wrong were we? The food was OK but nothing great. The main waiter was pompous to say the least. We were made to feel uncomfortable because we didn't want wine with our meal - we... More

Everytime I come to Hawaii I eat here and everytime it is excellent. Nice, dim, relaxing restaurant with excellent service and their steaks are perfectly cooked, very tender. We are planning another trip in March and I will be going back again. More
