    Lobster salad
    James L.

    Wow, what a great little Italian restaurant. My wife and I just spent a month in Italy and are looking for authentic intimate little restaurants just like we found all over Italy. Bernini's sure exceeded our expectations. Our waiter Cam was great. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We took Cam up on his recommendation of the lobster salad which was large enough for 2 and absolutely delicious. For our mains, I had the Norcia pizza and my wife had the pasta with clams. Both were excellent and cooked perfectly. We felt like we were back in Italy. We can't wait to go back and try some other dishes.

    RICCI DE MARE

    The food was delicious, highly recommend others to come here and try. The service was excellent and they were very friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice quiet dinner location to come and enjoy your meal.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The margarita pizza was fresh and tasty, we added extra mozzarella because it's never to much to add more. Yum! Your preference The Ricci Di Mare was very delicious. The unique rich, creamy, and buttery flavor brings a highlight to the dish that leaves your taste buds wanting more. Definitely something I recommend to others who enjoys Uni. The Carbonara Tagliatelle included Bacon, half-boiled egg, Pecorino Romano which was amazing slicing the egg and mixing the yoke together to combine the dish for an even more creamier look and taste definitely blended well together.

    Special: hojicha cheesecake ala mode...creamy and light, it was a delight!

    Last minute date night and as usual, everything (except the octopus) was on point. Service is always great here. Got seated at the same table we were at for our anni and same great server, Cameron. Our first time dishes this time were the medai, lobster salad and duck wellington and all three were winnahz! The special dessert, hojicha cheesecake ala mode was really light and delicious, perfect end to our date night. Bernini has become one of our favorite neighborhood restaurants. I also highly recommend the uni pasta and bolognese :)

    Great wine

    This is my first time to eat here, and I like this restaurant very much. The service and food here are very good! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The only thing I don't like is that the distance between the tables is very close and the guests at the next table are talking and laughing too loudly![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Was taken here for my birthday. I wondered what this place was like because I always passed it and saw people inside. They give out free focaccia with balsamic vinegar and oil for dipping. The focaccia was nice and fluffy. All of the pasta dishes had the perfect al dente texture and the lamb was the least gamey lamb that I had ever tried which was a nice surprise! The prices are a little pricey but for a nice dinner are on the lower end compared to other nice dining places. Would definitely recommend coming here as it is a solid Italian place.

    Foie gras
    Tim G.

    Made reservations for two at Bernini on a busy graduation weekend. Fortunately they were the only few handful of restaurants with availability. I reserved the table and arrived early. Once we were seated, the place began to fill up as everybody decided to go out for dinner after commencement. The first wow factor was the espresso martini. You get an entire show out of it when the drink comes out. The neighboring table decided to order one just for the show so it comes highly recommended! For starters the foie gras was magical. Followed by a lull in the dining service we received a margherita pizza that was meant for the table adjacent to us and we were told to just enjoy it. This wasn't terrible as the quatro formagio pizza was quickly remade and we got to enjoy a different pizza in the meantime. The main course was the ricci di mare. The uni on the pasta was perfectly cooked. For dessert the affogato rounded off the night along with a classic style tiramisu that we both shared. Service: things broke down when all of the busy patrons arrived and frazzled the kitchen. Luckily our waiter caught wind of this and comped our two drinks so we got to see the magic show twice and I really do commend him for being so good about keeping us happy as we powered through the long wait. Overall great customer service on a busy night. The manager came by at the end to make sure we were fully satisfied and ensured the drinks were comped for the slow service. I would definitely come back again and give them another try. They had all the right intentions and I'm certain it was a rare exception rather than the norm for the kitchen.

    had a nice birthday dinner at Bernini's, a restaurant I have wanted to try for a while. Our server was excellent even though I do not remember her name. Everything we ordered was delicious and the drinks were the best part.

    FREE parking in the front of the resto and in the back as well. This is such a hidden gem by Ala Moana area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food, ambiance and service was amazing![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Please go see them if you want an intimate dinner[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] . We celebrated my birthday there with some of my besties. Enjoy!!!

    Truffle pizza

    This is a must must Italian restaurant to come. Reservation is a must , very important to make reservations. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Food is insanely good , love the decor inside here too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's open kitchen, food is made fresh all the time.

    Wonderful last night dinner! A local fav! Bernini is a mix of Italian, French, and Japanese influences. The lychee pop is a fun drink with a lychee bubble on top that bursts with lychee scent. We started with the lobster salad- perfect mix of all the influences. Chunks of lobster, fresh greens, and lobster gelee. A bust of flavors. Bernini is known for their pizza. We got the white sauces Norcia with mushroom truffle and sausage. The crust was so light and crispy. The carbonara was the classic egg pancetta and cheese. The squid ink pasta tasted of the sea topped with tomatoes and onion. The uni pasta was so rich and decadent- a special treat! The bolognese was also a fav- deep rich flavors. All Pastas are made in house. We were too full for dessert but they looked incredible.

    Prosciutto e Mascarpone
    Isabelle K.

    Celebrated our anniversary here and everything was incredible. The truffle omelet was rich and dreamy (could have been a little softer scramble), and the carbonara was perfectly creamy with just the right bite. But the star? The prosciutto e mascarpone pizza -- next-level delicious. The salty prosciutto paired with that creamy mascarpone on a thin, crispy crust? Unreal. Had to add a soft boiled egg highly recommend to balance the salty meat. Sweet, savory, and perfectly balanced. Service was warm, the vibe was classy yet relaxed. Can't wait to come back!

    CAPPUCCINO STYLE MAUI ONION SOUP and House Salad.
    Mi Ae K.

    We went especially for their pizza which we were craving for awhile. Ordered the Margarita and Norcia Mushroom pizzas. They were delicious! Next we had the Cappuccino Style Sweet onion soup, served cold. It was so refreshing and tasty! We shared a house salad. Mixed greens were tender and the dressing subtle. For our entrees, we ordered the Granchio (King Crab Tomato Cream Sauce), Carbonara Pasta and Bolognese Rigatoni. Three unique flavors. Pasta was perfect, cooked Al Dente. Service was excellent. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Atmosphere quiet and romantic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner offered us complimentary desserts at the end of dinner, but we were too stuffed to accept. Maybe next time! I highly recommend this long time Kaka'ako restaurant for anyone looking for a classy, yet not stuffy place to have dinner.

    Lychee martini
    Rebecca L.

    Went to Bernini for a girls night with my best friend and can't wait to go back! Food and service were both great! Parking is a little difficult, they only have a hand full of stalls in the front so if you go during peak hours you might need to find street parking or park in their 2nd lot behind their restaurant on kona st. Service 9/10: Upon sitting down our server came to check in on us and asked if we had any questions and asked what type of water we would like (sparkling, bottled, tap). When either of us went to the restroom our napkin would be folded on the table when we got back which I personally always find to be a nice touch at a nice restaurant. My only complaint would be sometimes our water glasses would get very low if not empty before getting a refill. Honestly not that big of a deal though since the servers are around a lot so asking wasn't a huge deal Food and drinks 9/10: We both started with a cocktail each. I had the lychee martini that the server blows up a bubble on the top of the drink at the table. Drink was good and had a lychee at the bottom. Bubble makes the drink fun and cool for pictures. My friend had the Bernini 11 which was fruity but not overly sweet. My friend and I split the Norcia pizza (mushroom, sausage, and truffle oil) and this was easily one of the best pizzas I've ever had. Definitely recommend if you prefer pizzas without tomato sauce. I had the carbonara which was also amazing! The egg was perfectly cooked and complimented the sauce. My friend ordered the uni pasta which she also enjoyed. The sauce wasn't super creamy but on the lighter side with uni on the top of the pasta. For dessert we split the molten lava cake. Personally I would have liked the middle to have more melted chocolate but my friend appreciated the cake being not overly sweet. Overall the experience was really good and I can't wait to visit again and try more things on the menu! Went home to tell my boyfriend we needed to go back for our own date night!

    Aroma Italia - Monserrat | Waikiki-Kapahulu-Diamond Head area - Island of Oahu…read more Onolicious! Lately I've been dining on soups like pho and ramen, lamb curry stews, and snacking on real fruit smoothies, and I felt like I needed a change of pace. However, I didn't realize I had this burning desire until I saw the foodie pics here on Yelp. It was then that I seriously wondered how I could inject a little more variety into my foodie repertoire. I saw this restaurant listed on Yelp and immediately thought, Ooh, what about Italian??? :D Myself replied: Mmm, that sounds tantalizing, Jules Y.! :D After perusing the menu to make sure I wasn't gonna miss out on a thing, it only took a few seconds for me to hone in on the two items I ultimately ordered: * 16" Florentine pizza (gigante) * Gnocchi Gorgonzola with added mushrooms I added mushrooms to the gnocchi dish, which was a fantastic decision I would not want to go without on future dines of this dish. The pizza was a thin crust topped with luscious mozzarella, rough-chopped garlic, spinach, and ricotta cheese. The gnocchi contained chicken chunks, potato gnocchi, luscious cream sauce, and the mushrooms I added. The Florentine immediately caught my eye. I'm particular about not eating sausage, pepperoni, and other typical pizza meats, so this cheese-and-spinach combination was exactly what I was looking for. I expected something around a medium-sized pizza, but what arrived was this unexpectedly large pie sitting inside a huge, flat pizza box. It seemed enormous! The crust was thin with a nicely fire-charred edge, while the center was packed with luscious cheesy goodness. Random dollops of ricotta, spinach leaves, and these entirely unexpected little chunks of fresh, soft, juicy garlic created little flavor explosions throughout every bite. It made eating the pizza fun because each slice was a little different. Although I thought I was hungry enough to eat a lion, I naturally stopped after only a couple of slices. That turned out to be a bonus because I had delicious leftovers for lunches and dinners over the next couple of days. The Gnocchi Gorgonzola was a different experience altogether. Tender potato gnocchi were coated in a thick, luscious cream sauce with chunks of chicken scattered throughout. The mushrooms I added were thinly sliced and blended in perfectly with the gnocchi, chicken, and creamy sauce. My only criticism is that the dish was saltier than I would have preferred. I think using about half as much salt would have allowed the flavors of the gnocchi and sauce to shine through even more. Aside from that, every bite was pleasantly chewy, rich, creamy, and satisfying. The sauce was everywhere--and that is definitely a good thing. Yum! These two dishes complemented each other perfectly because they offered completely different flavors and textures. The rich, cheesy Florentine pizza paired wonderfully with the creamy Gnocchi Gorgonzola. If I eat here again, I'll probably order these exact same dishes. If you enjoy Italian food as much as I do, I suspect you'll enjoy Aroma Italia's menu.

    LOVED THE CANNIBALE PIZZA !!!…read more I also ordered the linguine with pink sauce and added meatballs and sausage. It was excellent. I think I would probably order it again but with the marinara sauce. The garlic bread with mozzarella cheese was good but I would order the regular garlic bread since it's less rich and would pair better with the entree. I think the garlic bread with mozzarella cheese would be great as an appetizer though. The ingredients on both the pasta and pizza were very generous. If I were to take friends out for Italian food I would bring them here.

About 10 minutes before my 2:00 PM pickup time, I received a text letting me know my order was ready, which was a nice surprise. I ordered the IL Parma sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. At $24, it's definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness made it worth every penny. The flavors were fantastic, and I didn't mind paying the premium price after taking that first bite. Parking can be a little tricky. I'm not sure whether customers are allowed to use the Hana Koa parking lot for quick pickups, but a kind employee allowed me to park there while I ran in to grab my order.

The bite that had a good amount of sauce was incredibly flavorful, but the rest of the slice was a bit dry, and I tasted more oil than tomato sauce. It was great dough but the flavor was not there for me. I really want to love this pizza more! The staff was friendly, though it took a little while to get my slice. They reheat each slice to order, and they were busy making other items, so it was understandable. I'll be back to try a panini!

I split a Margherita shrimp pizza which was perfect from the thin chared crust, cheese and delicious shrimp. However, my wife's selected the pasta with at table side prepared cheese wheel and "lesson" conducted by Tim! Bravo! A must go to Italian restaurant in Oahu, Hawai'i. Enjoy!

    Overall: Good food but not a comfortable environment to linger (details below)…read more Food: Pasta was perfectly cooked, al dente. Very rich and filling. Well-flavored. I enjoyed the pasta. Space: Crowded. We made a reservation so we got an indoor table. The sun was shining on us the entire time and it got uncomfortably hot. The window didn't seem to have a tint and the window shade gave little to no coverage in the spot we were at. It made me not want to make room for dessert. Service: Attentive. I liked the informational experience when the cacio e pepe is cooked in front of you. The only thing that bothered me was I wished one of the workers would wear a headband and wipe his sweat with a towel versus the back of his hands before handling plates and food. Price: Average price for a touristy neighborhood.

    My friends and I came here for dinner because of the Passport collaboration with Kohana Distillery…read more I'm really happy for this collaboration or else I may have never eaten at this wonderful restaurant. Located in China town, you have the normal issues of finding parking. The location is not large and is split into indoor and outdoor seating areas. We got seated right away and the staff was very friendly. The food is an Italian - Asian fusion. We started with the Hokkaido milk rolls and prosciutto san daniele. The bread was good but that black garlic butter made it even better. But for me the prosciutto was the highlight and should not be skipped. Mixed with the pickles in that sesame shell, it was so delicious. For mains we got the gnocchi and capellini. The beef cheek in the gnocchi was so flavorful and soft. And we finished up with the carrot cake. Everything we ate was good. I definitely want to come back again.

    Think I may have just found a new favorite restaurant! It's hard to do fusion in my opinion, but…read moreGiovedi gets it right. - Onion dip: AMAZINGGGG NO NOTES HOLY get this!! - Capellini: 10/10 amazing. The noodles are like vermicelli-style egg noodles which surprised me at first but was very interesting and I grew to really like it. The Dungeness crab sauce was very light and delicious - Kampachi: 7/10, the fish was nice but sauce was too rich and a bit salty. Another downside is that it is the portion size is pretty small. With one shared appetizer and the main, I was still a bit hungry at the end of the night. For the price, I did expect there to be bigger portions.

We ordered the Repetti pizza and fettuccine with diavolo sauce and meatballs. We also had the Caesar salad and focaccia bread with marinara sauce. Our server was Grace. Grace was so friendly and knowledgeable and professional. In addition to the food, Grace made the dining experience exceptional. We sat outside and even though it was a very hot day, the temperature was very comfortable under the roofed area. The Pinot Grigio was excellent! Our meal was brought out in a timely manner and Grace was an attentive server. The Caesar dressing is perfection! The diavolo sauce was delicious and just-right spicy. We loved the meatballs and the fettuccine was cooked perfectly. The pizza!!!!! Wow. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and the toppings were a delicious combination of flavors. The focaccia with marinara could have been a meal for me. The bread was hot and crispy while also being soft and savory. I couldn't get enough of the marinara. We had a lot of leftovers and ate some for dinner and still have more for tomorrow. Repetti's will be a new place for us to dine and bring friends as often as possible. We were so impressed and could not have wanted any of the experience to be different. Fantastic in every way!

Wait times were minimal between ordering, appetizers, main course, and dessert. Although I ate leisurely, I was there for about 90 minutes. The atmosphere is so enjoyable, especially if you get outdoor seating. Cool, quiet, intimate. . Salads with every entree as well as bread? Makes the prices worthwhile. Every pasta dish was delicious: baked ziti, fettucine, pesto sauce. 10/10. Pizza and calzones if you have someone in your party who doesn't want traditional. Service was great and at the end of the night I plan to be back! . Kids and dog-friendly! Eat in or take out - up to you!

    We had a family dinner--for eight--at Mangiamo by 604. I was excited to have my father and brother…read moreexperience this establishment, as I had a great experience two years ago. 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.

    I came maybe two or times in the past. The last time was the other year. I was bummed and felt…read moresorry for those who need to use the elevator to the restaurant and it wasn't working. I don't know how the elderly lady with walker was able to get up the stairs or they weren't able to dine there. I didn't mind this place. It's not like Assaggio, but more like Olive Garden. Food was okay but the view and ambience were nice, especially at Christmas at Night! It's a huge restaurant with seating for parties with a lot of free parking shared with the golfers at the golf course. Indoor and outdoor seating. The last time, my friends weren't too impressed, but we did try variety of dishes from pizza, salad, pasta and appetizers. They have some specials from time to time. So sad that tomorrow is their last day of business according to my friend. Sad to see many restaurants are closing soon.

    I had the best birthday experience at Rigo this past week…read more Rigo is located in Kapahulu. It has a small parking lot and I believe they do valet in the evenings. Otherwise, you can easily park across the street in the Safeway parking lot as there's lots of stalls available. The atmosphere is always so elegant and relaxing with the dim lighting ambiance. I love the high ceilings and the mid-century architecture. From the appetizers to the main entrees, everything was delicious! We had the crostini's with prosciutto, honey, and mascarpone cream. That combination of crunchy, creamy, sweet and salty made this so good! For our entrees, we had the Bolognese and the seasonal Mushroom Duxelles Pizza. Both had their own unique flavors that were savory and flavorful without being overpowering. Of the two, my favorite was the pizza! Along with the flavor, I enjoyed the light crispy texture of the pizza. Lastly, for dessert we had the Chocolate Cassata. They brought the dessert with lit candle and aside from the good company, it made my birthday feel extra special. The service was great and our server was very welcoming, attentive, and kind. Thank you for the wonderful experience and look forward to coming back!
