    Caesar salad making at the table
    Cory Y.

    Came here on the Saturday before mother's day. As expected, it was pretty crowded, but not a very long wait for our reservation. I keep forgetting how small and cramped the inside is. They should move to the stand alone building where TGI Fridays and I Love Country Cafe were. Much bigger standalone restaurant. Besides that, the food and service was pretty good for a very busy night. The one bad thing was the bathroom. I understand the place was busy for pre mother's day dinner, but damn, the bathroom was pretty disgusting. The o e and only urinal was out of order making everyone use just 1 toilet. Again, was disgusting and had a lot of liquid on the ground. Hopefully they clean up every night, but they gotta fix those issues. Besides that, I will probably be back in the future as there aren't many "fancy" Italian restaurants in the area.

    Steak and pasta
    Daryl H.

    We've been dining here occasionally for years, our most recent experience was superb. We arrived at 5:45pm with no wait, it's still usually a short wait at that time. Keeping it simple, the seating is equally nice. Not like some other places that just stick you in an ugly corner. Our server was excellent, patient and friendly. Our appetizers came Out fast our main course followed. Just looove the Hot Antpasto, it's a must for me. We tend to order the same entrees when we dine here.... Steak and pasta, shrimp scampi, and carbonara. And must pronounce the food is always consistent!

    Those who know me would be surprised that I'd go so far north for lunch... as I do not venture beyond the H1 airport viaduct west.. UNLESS I'm dining with dear friends who live out in the west side or as north as Mililani. Worth the drive (not all Assaggio's are alike)! Parking ok, they are located in a shopping center type location If you go for lunch bring your appetite because even their small portion is a relative large portion. We had chicken and clams and bread and roasted pepper. OK OK, not as descript as I would normally be but there it is! Our selection of meals for the luncheon. Moderately priced (although some may say a bit on the high side for lunch) but all things being equal, it's a decent price for table cloth dining.... Food good! Service good! Dining companions BEST!

    Chicken Chicken Alla Sorrentino - small

    Check in: Always good food and great service at Assagio's Mililani. Chicken piccata is always a good choice. We also tried chicken sorrentino with mozzarella and eggplant on breaded chicken breast with Marsala wine sauce. That dish is great!! The accompanying linguine was fine as well. We topped it off with affogato and sorbet for dessert. Assagio's always delivers!

    Second time here with the new owners. I'm so disappointed I will not return. We did not have a reservation but the parking lot was empty so we decided to walk in. We were standing in the front waiting to find out if they could seat us. The manager (?) lady hostess kept looking at us but not acknowledging us and kept doing whatever she was doing in the bar area. She couldn't even say I'll be with you in a minute. At that point I knew I should have left. We were finally seated. We ordered and our food took over 45 mins. Our server noticed and came over to apologize and check on our order. I ordered the Clam Scampi with linguine. The scampi consists of fresh clams, garlic, butter and white wine. The sauce was bland and there wasn't any garlic in the sauce. The manager did come to our table to apologize with empty words. I will not be back. If I want Italian I will drive to Pearl City or Kahala even.

    I am surprised to see so many poor reviews for Assagio. We haven't been here in a few years and last night we had a wonderful time! We had 7:30 reservations and our table was ready and waiting for us! That's already a huge plus in my book. Waters and 2 baskets of bread were immediately brought to our table. The waiter came shortly after and took our orders. I forget his name but it was a Hawaiian name that started with a 'K'. We ordered a bottle of wine and I had one drink. Our food came all at the same time which is another plus! We were happy with the food and had a very enjoyable evening here. My daughter said her New York steak was a little on the salty side but it was cooked perfectly medium rare. My clams casino was perfect! I hope people continue to patronize this restaurant, after seeing the recent poor reviews, I was scared of how it would be, but last night was great so they must be working on improving themselves.

    Chicken picatta
    Gillynn C.

    We had a party of six with reservations and we were seated right away. The place was crowded, but not full. Our server immediately tended drink orders and appetizers. The calamari was just average. The breading was a little too thick and they only gave us a choice of either strips or legs and not mixed. Did they include two types of sauces, marinara, and Hot wasabi mustard. The bread was a bit dry also. However the garlic bread was excellent. The rest of our meals came out pretty quickly. The best dish was the jumbo shrimp salad. The shrimp and scallops scampi was a little bland and so was the vegetable scampi, we had to ask for additional scampi sauce just to flavor it up a bit. everyone else enjoyed their meal. The spaghetti's were very good. Everyone also ordered dessert and most were the ice cream with chocolate shell. You do get a choice of either coffee or vanilla ice cream. I also tried the mud pie. It was the smallest version of mudpie I've ever been served. It was not bad and it was perfect for the meal

    House salad
    Joyce P.

    Dinner was wonderful as usual. We were lucky enough to get seated promptly and our water and bread were quickly delivered to our table. Our server asked us for drinks and order. We had a house salad, spagetti with meat sauce and NY Steak and Shrimp and Pasta. We noticed a QR code for a free dessert so we signed up and ordered a chocolate gelato.

    Chicken Picata! My fav!
    Patty P.

    Everything went well! Go early as it fills up fast and can be noisy! Service always excellent! No reservations required!

    Calamari Steak Sauce - Large
    Warrene C.

    Enjoyed a wonderful dinner with my BFF. She had her favorite Chicken Piccata, and I had the Calamari Steak Sauce. We both shared a Caesar salad and our desserts. Our dinners were very delicious. Our server was awesome and we didn't have to wait long for our food. My BFF complimented her dinner with a glass of Chardonnay and I complimented mine with a glass of Riesling. Very wonderful dining experience. The restaurant is very spacious and accommodating. Will definitely come back again.

    The calamari strips.
    Jacob M.

    The bread is fresh. Nice and warm. We had the Eggplant Parmesan and the bacon and butter linguini. We also had the calamari strips for an appetizer... which to me was the only disappointing thing we got because it was small and not as crispy. The service was great. My water was filled and never was half full. The bread was stocked as soon as we ate it all. The servers were also very accommodating and friendly. Inside is nice. Spacious for a family of 6.

    Seafood Combination - Small
    Sarah M.

    As local Mililani residents, we tried Assaggio for the first time since they have changed management. The server was nice but obviously in a rush. While the main dishes are tasty, the appetizers taste like frozen cheese sticks and frozen calamari. And the prices for them are atrocious. $15 for 5 cheese sticks. $16 for 6 skinny little calamari sticks. The main dishes were tasty but priced higher than other Italian restaurants we frequent. We also order a side of mixed veggies. $15 for a tiny bowl of zuccini, carrots and onions is not what we were expecting. The atmosphere is pleasant, easy to converse, interior looks freshly redone and well kept.

    Shrimp Alfredo
    Brian C.

    The Mililani location is "Under New Management" based on signage outside the restaurant. I used to really like this local Italian chain, but the most recent experience was underwhelming. First they are severely understaffed! The host doesn't help the wait staff even when he has time on his hands. That leaves customers frustrated with empty water glasses while the wait staff is busy with other tables. It was also frustrating waiting over 15 minutes to just pay the bill. I went up to the host station after waiting an eternity to pay the bill when the waitress saw and came over to intervene. Don't know if the host is the new owner, but please help the staff out when it's busy! The food prices have increased over the years which is expected, but they are still priced 20-25% higher than all local Italian restaurants in the area. The ribeye steak and shrimp picante was good even though the medium rare steak turned out medium well. Do not order the pesto pasta here. Something is really off with their pesto sauce. Take it for what it is, decent place to celebrate a special occasion. Expect to pay a premium for the food and short staffed service.

So it really does pain me to have to steer clear from now on. The last 3 visits have almost over taken every positive visit I've had prior. While we appreciated the willingness that they accommodate us with reservations (party of 5-8) the irritation sets in that we are normally always there for a average of 2 hours with it being barely busy and they rather prioritize takeout orders. Although I had advised my Mom we should maybe find a different eatery on Mother's Day, she was absolutely certain about dining here. I will include the obvious that it's a special day.. it will be chaotic.. blah blah blah. They were simple unprepared. They also were fully staffed. In fact, that was the most FOH staff i've ever seen them have at once. No Bread for 20 mins.. you guys just opened, we were at the first sitting, how do you not have bread?.. we even made it more easy!! no Appetizers, just entrees! we had a party of 8 and 6 dishes bc the kids were sharing, We sat there for 1h 30m until we got to eat. Practically every table around us got served and left before us. Couldn't even expedite the kids spaghetti. terrible. When the bread was ready, all the smaller tables were served first, but not the party with a 5 year old and 7 year old audibly saying they were starving. Cherry on top.. what really sealed the deal to never be back, was we decided to pack up our food and leave bc we were just over everything. They had the audacity to drop the bill, my brother ask for a bag and the Server literally reopened the bill to add on the bag haahah. y'all keep the $0.15 Not a lost at this point. Go anywhere else. Plus, my lasagna and my Husbands Seafood pasta was swimming in liquid. Grimey

Today, all the other Italian places in the Pearlridge area I wanted to try were closed early for no reason, so we decided to come here.

A little on the smaller side so it's not as busy and loud as other places if that's what you like. The service and staff is great. Our waiter and host were very attentive and service oriented. I enjoy the complimentary bread and butter here a lot. This place has one of my favorite breads. It's not like the bitter or hard breads, it's soft, savory, and warm fresh out of the oven (perfect for spreading the butter on in my opinion). They give a lot of butter too. The bread is also a good size and they give you more as soon as they run out, and foil to take it home in if you can finish it. My usual is the tortellini dish, with an add on of chicken. Today I was given the option of the breaded chicken. I liked the breaded chicken a lot. The dish comes out very fresh and hot. I'm gonna say that the sauces here are a little more runny than thick for those who like that, but the taste is very good. This place is comfort food to me.

Thanks for setting that expectation because we probably would've headed to pick up our food in about 15 minutes. We ended up waiting an hour for our food. That's double the time that was given to us. They let us know that a bunch of phone orders came in, so I guess they weren't prepared for that. One of the items that we ordered was a burger patty and they let us know that they accidentally burned it. We had to say goodbye to the burger as we were told us it was the last patty they had. So, we were given the option of ordering something else or just having it removed from our bill. Add another item in place of the burger, and wait even longer? No thank you. The chicken parmesan sandwich was large enough to share with someone. Unfortunately, the chicken was a tad dry, and it came with a good amount of cheese, but not enough marinara sauce to mask the dryness. We received the wrong pizza, but did get an extra slice that we didn't order. Ok cool. Thanks, I guess. The major disappointment for me was that they forgot to give us the garlic knots we ordered. The mac and cheese wasn't bad. I'm not sure what blend of cheeses they used but it wasn't the typical cheddar cheese most commonly used. It came with garlic bread, which was nice and buttery with a decent amount of garlic flavor. Even though we received the wrong pizza, we enjoyed the pizza we got. There were chunks of minced garlic which is always a plus for me. The food was good, so I'll go back to give them another shot. Next time, we'll order the garlic knots and make sure it's included in what they give us. Also, they have so much more to offer besides pizza, so we'll also have to give those a try. Other options include lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs, chicken marsala, ravioli, and more.
