    Caprese salad
    JD H.

    I got an unexpected opportunity to eat here last night. My flight to the islands was significantly delayed, so I missed my connections at HNL, had to unexpectedly overnight it and needed a dinner plan. The silver lining was my chance to eat at Win's! That I could have gone to any number of great local or tourist spots for a great meal but elected to go here should tell you something. I have been here several times since my original review. I can confidently say that everything I wrote 7 yrs ago still applies and is in full effect. Same place, modest decor, generous BYOB policy, awesome staff, and fantastic food. Given that, this place remains my one "don't miss" eatery when I am in Oahu. I'm still amazed that I have to travel over 4,000 miles from my home base to get a meal like this, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean no less! My tactical plan to approach a meal here is this. Go to their website and make an auto Google reservation. I did it from my flight when I realized I was spending the night in Honolulu without a plan. Arrive in the area early and stop at Fujioka's Wine Shop to get something awesome to drink with dinner. Have Fujioka's put the bottle in their Quick chiller for several minutes and it will be the perfect drinking temperature. Walk up the slope to the restaurant, sit at the table they have diligently set aside for your reservation, have them open your great bottle choice and be prepared to feed your face. On the short walk up from the wine shop, there will be no doubt about where you are going because you can smell the cooking garlic wafting all over the place drawing you in like a moth to flame! Years after my first discovery visit and this place still delivers an outstanding meal with one of the best clam sauce, linguine dishes around! It hasn't changed in 7 years and I hope it never does. If you are local, go support this community gem. If you are visiting, take a break from the tourist district food and go eat in the local neighborhood. I always do so here and they still get all five stars from me!

    Located in Market City near Foodland up the stairs by Thai Issan, Win-Spuntino is an Italian spot with a variety of pastas, salads, and more. They have a pretty decent offering size of pastas from pastas with seafood to chicken, vegetables, and more. The place is on the smaller side with a few tables inside. It has a pretty casual and clean feel with dark wood red and white plaid tables. The people working are nice and efficient with the orders. We got the pasta with meatballs and sausages, and the pasta with chicken and vegetables. The portions are quite large, and usually last us a couple of meals. The pastas were solid and a little on the sweeter side with the sauce. I prefer a bit more of a salty pasta. The pastas were about $20, which seemed to be a good value for the amount we received. We'll try another of the many pastas next time!

    This is one of the family's favorite spots. Very family friendly, simple and quaint- casual dining location. We have dined in with a large group, many times and always receive great service. The menu is very large so we always have a hard time choosing what to try on each visit. Portions are super generous and we leave "fat and satisfied" and with leftovers for later! The cheesecakes are homemade with a fun wide variety to choose from. All were delicious and great tasting sizes for sharing with the group.

    Chopped clam pasta and Chicken piccata
    June D.

    What a delightful surprise! I visited this spot years ago when they first opened, and today I was lucky enough to return for lunch with a friend. We arrived at 11 AM to find a bright, fresh dining room that immediately felt welcoming. It's BYOB, and the menu is both creative and reasonably priced--a rare find these days. I ordered the chicken piccata, and the moment it arrived, the rich aroma of garlic, capers, and Parmesan filled the air. Every bite was perfectly balanced, and the pasta was cooked just right. My friend had the chopped clams, which were just as delicious--and we both had generous portions to take home. This is definitely going to be my new go-to spot for lunch meetings. The owner and his son were both on staff, and they couldn't have been more warm and welcoming. I'm so grateful for the experience and highly recommend you give this place a try. You'll be glad you did!

    Seafood diavolo
    Shana V.

    We arrived with no reservations and limited expectations. I was super hungry and over traffic so we pulled in to Market City to try this place out. Lots of people were doing take out but we opted for dine in. We were greeted and seated at a cozy table near the windows. This is a small spot, but they have a lot of options on the menu. Our server greeted us, took drink orders, shared the specials for the day and let us peruse the menu. We opted on the clams casino and garlic cheese bread for appetizers. The clams were hearty and rich, the bread was perfect for sopping up extra clam toppings. The special seafood diavolo and chicken marsala were our appetizers. The special pasta was filled with seafood but was missing something I couldn't put my finger on. The Marsala was delicious. Parking at Market City is always kind of a pain, but it was worth it for this dinner,

    Lilikoi Cheesecake

    We grew up in Kaimuki and this was a hidden gem then. Fast forward after living on the mainland for four years and recently moving back home, it is a treasure to see that this gem is STILL here! I love that it's casual and BYOB. It means they are focusing on the meal and that IS the reason you go out to eat right :) With super friendly service, we were warmly welcomed when we arrived for our dinner reservation. Without any hesitation, they graciously brought wine glasses and a bucket of ice for the bottles of wine that we brought in. Our server mentioned the two entree specials for the evening and gave us a moment to decide. Since we were there for early dinner, our order was cooked fresh and served expeditiously. Hard to believe that such delicious entrées were served so quickly. And yes, we smelled the aroma from their open kitchen and observed them cooking away. We started with the salad sampler and garlic bread. Those were great appetizers and perfectly sized to share among four. I was pleasantly surprised with their lamb chop and pasta special. Grilled up just right and served with a smokey tomato sauce, loved it. Famous for their huge slice of lasagna, this was also fresh with melted cheese and we added mushrooms. Big enough for two people to share! We also had a scallop capri which had large tender scallops over pasta with a white wine sauce, super good. Our favorite was the shrimp and scallop over pasta with a lobster creme sauce. On point! Incredibly tasty and not too thick with heavy cream. Everyone at our tabled enjoyed this dish the most! As most of the positive reviews shared, these are large portions and we gladly packed up leftovers so we had space for dessert. No joke, if you appreciate tart passion fruit, their fresh batch of lilikoi cheesecake is the winner! We also had their mud pie ice cream slice, which was also completely finished by the end of our delicious dine in experience. Thank you for another great dinner. So glad that this treasure is still in the neighborhood. Cheers to many more :)

    Special for the day. Lobster, scallop, clams , shrimp and calamari in white wine garlic butter sauce.

    This place is always consistent with amazing Italian food. I'll order clams casino as well if i had more room. Service is quick and friendly. Very nice place for low key family dinners. They have promotion right now for gift cards $80 for $100.

    Today's special
    Lyn L.

    It was recommended by my very Italian friend so of course I had to try it. I had the daily special. Honestly I was not blown away. It was a typical tomato based pasta with seafood. Service was good, chef was pleasant. Pretty low key in the decor so I consider it pretty casual. We weren't rushed so it was nice to be able to hang out and chat.

    Hidden above Thai Issan in market city shopping center. Large portion Italian food and desserts. We usually order takeout because there's limited dine in seating that can feel a little claustrophobic. Service is always friendly and prompt. They have a huge menu that can pretty much cater to any of your request. They also have yummy cheesecakes that are worth checking out.

    Shrimp scampi-littered with garlic, not good
    Porsche S.

    I've been wanting to try Win-Spuntino for a minute now. Kids were craving Alfredo, so we opted for takeout. I ordered through Yelp, which was convenient. The order was ready quickly. They are located near Foodland in Market City. You have to go up the stairs since they are on the second floor. Prices are a little high, but it is enough to feed 2 people. I got the shrimp scampi. I was sadly disappointed. It was covered in garlic and the dish as a whole lacked flavor. I don't feel like garlic taste should be what the entire dish tastes like. There was no seasoning like salt. The shrimp was overcooked. My kids got chicken Alfredo that they enjoyed. Of course we had to order dessert, so I got the Lilikoi cheesecake and my husband got the tiramisu. Both were frozen. You could even see the ice crystals along the top. Sad that it was not freshly made on a regular basis. Not sure that I will be back again.

    Over the years I would do take out orders with my friends and coworkers from this restaurant. Food has always been good. Located in Market City in Kapahulu, you'll find this restaurant upstairs above Thai Issan Cuisine. If you'd like to, they have dine in seating as well. It's nothing fancy, so you can go in casual attire. Open air louvre windows. This time around I had a special that wasn't on their menu, and was offered by I believe who may have been the owner. The dish was shrimp and scallops with onions and pink sauce. The pasta was very flavorful, but I did feel that they could have added couple more scallops and shrimps for the price we paid. It came with 3 pcs of shrimp and 3 pieces of scallops. My friend had the bacon and onion pasta with butter wine sauce and his was very flavorful as well! The bacon brought out the flavors! I believe the next time I may order this dish. They do have a lot of selections to choose from, it can be overwhelming. I would suggest checking this place out, maybe do a take out or go in the evening when it's cooler. I will go back to do take out, but choose another dish instead.

    Special seafood Pasta, Lobster, Shrimp, Scallops, so large that we shared the fish.

Slightly hidden amongst the surrounding of Kaka'ako is La Cucina Ristorante Itlaiano for many though I knew of this place for quite some time since I do have frequent Imperial Plaza for many other biz found here. The restaurant is located on the grounds floor inside the lobby area and can be easily missed for it's simplicity but those who knows it's a place to visit. To do so you must make reservations and it's online by e-mail only and it was a process for me as it's their primary way of communication along with presetting your order as well especially for braised items that requires 48hrs in advance notice. We didn't select those items but have decided to preorder our starters which is their Insalata di Casa which is a lovely simple salad with Italian vinaigrette and some fresh tomatoes and Bruchetta which is also another simple item but until you've tried them it was very crafted and delicious that was wonderful start to our meal. To share we decided on the Rigatoni Bolognese though they were out of Rigatoni and offered us Pappardelle instead which I was fine and Ravioli Zucca and from what I understand the Pappardelle is house made and it was just the perfect consistency and the bolognese was a delicate sauce that went perfectly together but the Ravioli Zucca was just as amazing. Stuffed with Butternut Squash and my favorite vodka sauce is paired with Italian sausage and garnished with sliced almonds and Italian parsley it was such an elegant bite. This spot is very small and cozy so you must wait outside to be called to your table which they set up for you before you're seated and parking is validated in the building though I did find street parking which is free as well after 6pm but the vibe here is very calm though many do come here as groups and it can get quite loud at moments though the staff did very well to course our starters and entree which is nice as the table is small and won't find much at the same time. I do appreciated the time it takes to prepare the reservations though must admit it was quite different to make it all work and see that it's all done in ways that you have very little wait for your table and your food as well and just loved how it's all crafted to make it a balance of harmony for us all. Thank you!

We ordered the Scallop Carpaccio, the Nairagi Crudo (striped marlin), the Spaghetti Arrabbiata, the Gnocchi Mapolonese, and the Char Siu Pork. While every dish dazzled us, the Nairagi Crudo, containing sliced marlin, Calabrian chili crisp, charred eggplant, and mint, was our favorite. Elise, our server, was extremely attentive and helpful. It turned out to be a memorable evening. We can't wait to go back. Highly recommended! Before tipping, we spent $176 for a two-person meal (no alcohol, no dessert, 2 mocktails, 2 appetizers, 2 pastas, and 1 protein).

The scallops were good because brown butter makes everything good. But the salad was anti climactic. Our main dishes were good but never wowed- and it felt like the menu never gave you a true idea what you were ordering so its kind of a blind order. I did like my take on the Vietnamese noodles though. The drinks were strong but meh. I remember it being enjoyable but its not memorable or recommendable. The desert Carrot Cake was a huge disappointment. Maybe its just not for me? We left a good half of it behind... The service was very good. Maybe not the most attentive but when it came around it was great and friendly, and very professional. I would go again if someone wanted to go, but I don't think ill return on my own accord

There's a few tables inside and more seating outside. I got the calzone with pepperoni and the blackened ahi Caesar salad. The calzones here are definitely a must! I love the different cheeses they use as they complement each other really well. The calzone was crispy and not super doughy which I liked. I would probably pass on the Caesar salad next time though. The dressing was watery and the fish was dry. The service here was exceptional. My friend brought her dog, and the workers brought out a water bowl and kept checking up on us. Overall, pretty decent spot for dinner and the ambiance is nice. I would come back just for their calzone.

We dined on a Friday night, so many of the other restaurants were busy and loud. This was exactly what we were looking for after a busy work week. The food quality is very good. Our food was tasty, timely, and hot. Our server correctly recommended the vodka sauce chicken pasta and the grandma pizza, which were both amazing. Although the pizza was a bit pricey, $31, it can easily feed a family due to its large size. For the pasta, the noodles were cooked to a perfect Al dente and the sauce was out of this world. The grandma pizza, similar to Boston's spinach and garlic pizza, was AMAZING! Easily tops Boston's version because of the Alfredo sauce that they use as the base. The service was impeccable, efficient, and friendly. The staff were very polite and attentive throughout our visit. If you're looking for a better alternative for exceptional Italian cuisine in Hawaii Kai, Repetti's is your place. Removed from the hustle and bustle, and always welcoming and good.

    Whoa! Amazing date night here on a Friday night!!!…read more Very romantic and intimate restaurant with outstanding service. Chisum was our server and he was just excellent. All of the server staff was super attentive. My husband and I both chose the prix fixe menu. It's $125. Every dish was excellent!! You have to get the squid ink pasta, truffle pasta and the lamb chops. My filet was also cooked perfectly. I can't wait to come back and try the rest of their menu.

    Location: located on Lewers St. Parking is on Helumoa Rd. Go down Lewers St, make a left on Helumoa…read moreand shortly after, valet parking will be on your left. The restaurant validates parking, $8 for 4 hours, tip not included. For my son's 18th birthday he wanted to eat pasta. After looking at many Yelp reviews, we ended up making reservations at Taormina. Unfamiliar with the menu we decided to do the five tasting course. As of 4/22/26 the base price is $125 and depending on what you choose, there are some add ons. For example the carbonara was +$25 and the Ricci di mare was +$18. Food: the Focaccia bread was free and comes with free refills. The salmon with caviar was really good. It had the perfect balance but very small, about 1.5". The next dish was the baked abalone. That was also very delicious but two bites and it's over. At this point, we were starting to think we would leave hungry. The next dish was the pasta. We tried both the carbonara and the Ricci di mare. Both were very good. The carbonara came with freshly slices truffles and thick crispy pieces of bacon. Highly recommend for truffle lovers. I'm not a huge uni fan but surprisingly the Ricci di mare was also really good. Of note, the pasta in the five course tasting is half the size of the regular order. Even at half the size, I felt the serving portion was good. I felt satisfied but not full. The next dish was the main course so filet mignon and monchong. The filet mignon was cooked perfectly but I personally didn't like the sweet sour balsamic vinegar taste that was drizzled over. I would have preferred it to be more savory. The monchong was okay but a little overcooked for my liking. The portion size of the main course was good. Lastly was our desert but to our surprise, they brought out a nicely written happy birthday platter with half a lava flow desert and a small scoop of ice cream. My son really enjoyed it. The creme caramel was also good and reminded me of flan. Service: the waitress did her job but I personally felt we had better service entering the restaurant and being seated. She had no smile, did not offer any recommendations, and no small talk which is fine but noticeable. Our bill came out to $463.87 tip not included. Though we really enjoyed the salmon and abolone I'm not sure it's worth the price and the extra three bites. Next time I would just stick with the pasta. If we had just ordered the full order of pasta our bill would've been $195.

My father and brother are both military veterans and enjoyed the fact that this venue was situated at a golf course they patronized before. We all ordered drinks--I ordered a bottle of wine, taking advantage of the Half-off Wine Wednesdays; some tried the alcohol specials and others simply elected to have soda. I ordered a few appetizers for the table and those went quickly: calamari, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Yum! Main entrees followed and everyone seemed to enjoy their selections. We ordered dessert and were disappointed that they ran out of creme brulee...my father ordered the cheesecake and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only reason for not giving five stars has to do with the outdoor seating. I wish the chairs were more comfortable, as we sat there for awhile, waiting for our server to take our large group order along with waiting for food to come out. There is adequate parking and the restrooms are clean and accessible. An elevator is located in the lobby for those who are not able to easily climb the flight of stairs to the venue. I wish the signage was better, as my 74 year old father took the outside steps, as he thought that was the entrance, per signage downstairs.
