Best Italian Restaurants in Aiea

We really enjoyed our meal and our waiter Dillon. Unfortunately there was a party of four ladies that were very, very noisy which somewhat disrupted our evening. When we first got there, it was very quiet and pleasant. I will return as the food quality was exceptional. 

I keep coming back to Ruscello because of its unmatched consistency in taste and quality. Every visit feels like a guarantee of excellence. Their dishes are always flavorful and fresh. It’s rare to find a place where the food is just as good every single time, but this restaurant delivers on that. We ordered the soup of the day which was chicken noodle soup, shrimp arugula salad and the chicken gnocchi. We barely had room for dessert but also had the crème brûlée and coffee ice cream! So yum! The service is also consistently top-notch. Justin who was our server was very friendly, attentive, and delivered a seamless dining experience. Whether it’s a casual dinner or a special occasion, I know I can rely on this place to exceed expectations. Highly recommended!

Mangiamo’s Restaurant was really good, service was excellent for our party of 8. The food was good portioned and tasty. We were also accommodated with eight separate checks. Some restaurants frown when you ask for this. My only peeve is the sun rays hitting our backs while eating; this only affected the guests who were sitting with their backs to the golf course. I wish the hostess had suggested that we move our table inside or at least inform us about how hot it can get.

Went for my birthday dinner. Our server Robert was wonderful! We really appreciated his great service.

My husband I, fortunately, saw on the news that it was Honolulu Restaurant Week where they showed the carbonara. We booked right away to celebrate our 15th anniversary. The prix fixe menu was definitely one of the best we’ve had. Started with the caviar, that was so amazing. Each course that came after just got better and better. Lobster bisque was exquisite, caprese salad was so fresh and delicious. The lobster pasta would be my favorite, if I had to choose…but everything was just so good. My husband got the carbonara and he loved the richness of it. then comes the short rib that was so flavorful and tender. We had 2 desserts, the frangipane and the special anniversary dessert that was a beautiful cake encased in sugar dome. The flavors are just so wonderful in the palate. We also had the wine pairing that enhanced the whole dining experience. Most definitely though, Ken took care of us, and made it a very memorable night. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back next time we visit Honolulu and will recommend this place to everyone we know.
