Cino is a new Italian restaurant located in A'ali'i ,a residential condo on the west side of Whole Foods at Ward. We went on a Saturday night, and the restaurant was packed. We were told that the chef is a local boy that came back from Las Vegas and brought along the manager and a few staff. Our waiter was JR, and he was one of the best waitpersons that I've ever been served by, from Hawaii to New York to Paris to Japan. Having been a waiter for seven years, during high school and college, I have some experience in food service. This guy was good! Without being asked, he told us about his favorite dishes in each category and describe them expensively in both how it is prepared, and the ingredients that are used. His service was also right on as he anticipated everything we need needed and delivered it. We were surprised at how fast our appetizers had arrived after we ordered it, especially considering that every table was filled. We enjoyed our appetizers, our entrées and our wines by the glass. The restaurant has a nice interior design and a cool ambience.
