When I was planning my Honolulu dining itinerary, I was impressed that CINO had been recognized as the Best New Restaurant in 2024 by Honolulu Magazine. Our dining experience last night was exceptional and worthy of such recognition. We were warmly greeted by our server JR, who is a master at making a menu delicious and delivering amazing service. He opened by telling us the story of the restaurant and how seven members of a Las Vegas casino restaurant moved to Honolulu to launch CINO. Executive chef Arnold Corpuz, with Oahu roots, returned after honing his talent in Vegas. We were impressed to meet him following our meal. He graciously allowed us to sample some additional menu items. With four of us dining, we hit all of the signatures. It was truly a feast! We enjoyed: * Salt Roasted Baby Beet * Charred Spanish Octopus - WOW! * Crispy Fried Rice * Cino Pinwheel (with seasonal truffles) - DOUBLE AMAZING * Pork Chop (with Averna Apple Reduction) - AMAZING! * Twice Baked Potato - AMAZING * Rabbit (not on the menu) - AMAZING * Tiramisu - YUM! * Coconut-Mango Panna Cotta - DOUBLE YUM The restaurant has only two servers and the dining room is intimate. Some have said it gets noisy, but we didn't experience that in the middle of the restaurant. It has a cool bar when you enter the restaurant. With dozens of trips to Honolulu, this meal was truly legendary! read more

Let me preface that my experience was an in/out affair. Perhaps I'll return for a fuller one, but for my time and money: AMBIANCE Projects posh/class, though most patrons seemed at ease in very casual clothing. The design is brimming with glass and marble, making it a noisy/lively setting. The finishings seem well appointed, but with a subtle wearing down that reads more like lack of care than patina. SERVICE Arrived closer to open on a Friday evening with no difficulties being seated. There were, however, challenges at the table. A lack of bar menu and food portion knowledge resulted in three bouts of cocktail order negotiations and entirely too much food being ordered. FOOD & DRINK Short on time, I limited my dining by design - three drinks, three smaller plates. I'll start by stating that I've never heard of an Italian restaurant that carries neither amaro nor amaretto. That said, the cocktails they were able to conjure were well made. A wine order came and went with less debate and enjoyment. The food summoned mixed, leaning negative, emotions. The wariness of a prawn dish purporting to showcase nduja, of which there was barely any detectable (or flavor, for that matter). The ambivalence of a technically mastered, though ultimately banal, treatment of grilled polpo. The oppression of inconsistently, mostly par-cooked broccolini rabe, wide as carrots and stacked to the ceiling. The sides and mains I spotted around me looked good--perhaps I simply ordered poorly? The bill would caution a steep marginal price along that learning curve. read more

I highly recommend making a reservation if possible! We were seated quickly and loved the interior decor! Well designed with beautiful fabrics, wall accents, and perfect lighting for a special night out. Service was amazing all around! Dylan provided a superb overview of the menu, specials, and checked in on us throughout the night. The favorites of the night were their speciality cocktail, charred octopus, aged steak, seafood platter, potatoes, pinwheel pasta with truffle, and all of their desserts! I especially loved the Kumamoto oysters and their tiramisu. Everything is very elevated and plated beautifully. Portions are great and we took leftovers home. Parking is free on the nearby Whole Foods parking garage. Highly recommend for a nice dinner whether or not you're celebrating something special! We went for a nice family dinner and left feeling very full and satisfied! read more

This is one of my boyfriend and I's go to restaurant in Hawaii and every time we dine here, we always leave stuffed and delighted. The most recent trip we dined on Valentine's Day and was served by Lala who was absolutely dashing and amicable. She frequently filled our waters and checked up on us. Favorites Twice baked potato is my favorite thing to get here. The consistency is so velvety and smooth and is the perfect amount of butteriness. Chilled seafood platter always contains extremely fresh seafood. The only part of the platter I did not care too much for was the lobster for it was slightly tough and briny. Great cocktail and alcohol selection. Was surprised how well priced their Louis VIII and it came in stunning Louis crystal glasses. Each clink was music to my ears. Definitely a spot you need reservations for since this place is the perfect date night spot. read more

Cino - Sweet potato - Italian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

See all

New-ish Italian restaurant opened up in the base of one of the new condo towers. Location: kakaako. If you walk from Whole Foods, towards Rinka, keep going on that little road, and you'll see Nori Bar on the left side and Planted by La Tour on the right side. Cino is a little bit after Planted. The door isn't marked, so just look for the sign above. That's the entrance. We got lost trying to go around the back side. Parking: Ward Village (theater) or Whole Foods lot Indoor/Outdoor seating: indoor is extremely lively (aka super loud), outside is more peaceful if you want to have conversations Appetizers: charcuterie board was VERY GOOD. Crab cakes were tiny (one bite!) but delicious. Sides: creamed spinach and crispy potatoes stole the show Entrees: small pretty portions. If you are looking for Buca di Beppo sized meals, this isn't it. Everyone wanted to eat McDonalds 2 hours later. Service: STELLAR 10/10. Our server was top notch, she made a superb recommendation for a substitute wine, and the bus boy(?) also had excellent suggestions, he really knew the menu. Waters were refilled promptly. Dishes were removed quickly. Presentation was great, food was good but not enough to make us want to come back right away. read more

I was the lucky recipient of an invite to dine at Cino by a dear friend who is a regular. Initially I thought the friendly greeting by all staff was due to my friend's many visits, but I soon realized the staff were politely engaging with all their guests! The trendy clean interior is awesome! I learned the waitstaff followed Chef from Las Vegas. That shows a lot about who wonderful a Chef you are if your staff relocates to be part of your restaurant! I left the decision on what to order to my dining partner as I wanted the best of the best. We started with Cino's Wanderlust cocktail which was one of the smoothest delightful drink I have ever had. The presentation is definitely a 10! My dining partner and I also enjoyed the Kumamoto Oysters and Charred Spanish Octopus. Both apps were thoroughly enjoyed immensely. The oysters were fresh and the octopus was oh so tender! For our main course we shared the Pork Chop and Garlic Smashed Potatoes. The portions were quite large. We decided not to stuff ourselves so we could order Cino's unique Tiramisu and each enjoy a cup of coffee. The tiramisu was almost too beautiful to eat. Rich and decadent and very shareable! Definitely dine at Cino for the ambiance and food! My only regret is that I put off dining at Cino sooner. read more

Amazing food, amazing ambiance tucked away in a small street in the up and coming Kaka'ako area. Although the venue is on a side street as of now, the area will soon be bustling with the improvements of the Victoria Ward Park and additional condos. The inside of the venue is beautiful, and reminiscent of the high end steakhouses on the mainland. small intimate venue , with great lighting and artwork. Our food was excellent. We had a couple of Old Fashioned's, the 25 oz Ribeye, Big Eye Tuna, Charred Spanish Octopus, Crispy Rice, House aged half roast duck. Amazing meal and really great service. read more

Went on a Tuesday evening for belated Valentine's Day. Ordered the popular squid leg appetizer and the new uni ikura over penna cotta. Both were excellent. The squid leg is tender and not rubbery. I had the uni crab pasta and my husband had the Italian sausage involvtini. Again great flavor and beautiful presentation. Service was a bit slow because of a few large parties but our server was lovely and friendly. We wanted to try their dessert but our bellies were so full. We are definitely coming back to try other dishes! read more

Another great dinner and with help of Dillion our favorite server a perfect night. Kumamoto oysters were available on the half shell. The enormous Veal Chop parmigiana was a show-stopper! Pastas always delicious and appropriately portioned. Don't miss the double stuffed potato but know it feeds 3, as does the delectably charred broccoli. We shared the Mango berry flan and the contemporary version of tiramisu. A delicious Lilikoi Spriter mocktail is my favorite beverage but you need to ask as I don't think it's menued. read more

I would give a rating of 3.5 stars. It's not a 3 star but it's not quite a 4 star. We ordered the clam linguine, pork chop, filet and crab pasta. For sides we had twice baked potato, creamed spinach and garlic potatoes. For appetizers we had the small seafood platter and crab cakes. The appetizers were good. The entrees were ok we didn't think it was anything special especially for the price . I would have to say the desserts were the best. We ordered panacotta, tiramisu and tart. All were delicious. Service was ok nothing spectacular One thing I will say is it's very loud in the restaurant and for some reason it's hard to hear what your server is saying also hard to hear what my party was saying also. Kept having to ask them to repeat themselves. I like to try new places and so I am glad I got to try Cino. Would I come back again? Probably not read more

I'm sticking with my original review back in 2024. This time it was only two of us. The place was packed and noisy so don't expect to carry on good conversations with people not sitting next to you. We ordered the romaine salad, the grilled octopus, uni/ikura crudo, rigatoni, half kampachi, and crispy garlic potatoes. The octopus and rigatoni were great while the other stuff was ok. I have to say our server was outstanding though. Again it was very noisy so I'm not sure if I heard her name. The alcoholic drinks did take a long time to come out but that was not her fault. More of a bar problem I think. The golden hour drink was ok. read more

I've been to Cino a few times now, and it never disappoints! On my most recent visit, JR was my waiter for the second time, and I have to say, his service is outstanding. He's attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and always makes sure everything is just right. This time, I ordered the octopus and steak--both were incredible, as always. The octopus was tender and perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of char, and the steak was flavorful and cooked exactly to my liking. I've also had the uni pasta in the past, which is another great dish with its rich flavor from the sea urchin. If you're looking for excellent food and nice ambiance I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Honolulu. read more

Located in Ward with guest parking in the residential condo, on the first floor towards the ocean side of the building. Reservations are highly recommended beforehand as they were packed even on a week night. Nice date night type of vibe, or a night out with friends. But for me, the music and dining chatter is way too loud, in that it echos and reverberates throughout the dining room, which made it difficult for me to hear the conversations of my company. It's also dimly lit in some areas, making it difficult to read the menus. As for the food, some of the items were a hit and others were a miss. It all depends on your preference on textures and flavor profiles. Also, for reference, the restaurant doesn't have printed dessert menus available, thus the servers are describing it to you tableside. But again, way too loud in the restaurant and I could only hear bits and pieces of what was offered that evening. I wouldn't say it was a bad experience, though I don't know if I personally would be back again. read more

Came for the first time for an anniversary dinner and have been back many times since. Great for date night and special occasions! Ambiance 9/10. Ordered the spanish octopus and crispy tuna rice as appetizers... BEST crispy rice on island in my opinion. Got the duck for entree and my boyfriend got the Pappardelle. Duck was tender but not my favorite ever. I would suggest going for happy hour. All appetizers are amazing! read more

This update is for their weekend brunch only- here is my story I'm compelled to update my review because it's for brunch not dinner and I'm sure this update will illustrate the differences 1. the check in process and the hostess should have been easy as reservations are done via Open Table. The hostess however had the personality of a monk. No smiles no nothing (fyi there were other reviews for the same day implying the same) 2. Asked for a table on the east side because the other side was very extremely noisey (I believe I noted that in my previous review). My dining partner and I selected seats at the bar 3. Our server the bartender was more interested in the Sunday football game IMHO 4A. Food tasted as good as all their meals with the exception of my gnocchi which while it tasted great came to us room temperature (and I am a gnocchi snob such that I fly for a great serving of gnocchi) 4B. Lobster roll was not a roll rather it was lobster mash in mayo on toasted white bread 4C. They were out of the crab cake Benedict which I found odd as we ordered our dishes between 11:45-12:00 This was not my first brunch at Cino and won't be my last but I will say the overall experience was a disappointment read more

Service was top notch, our server Dylan was great, well spoken, classy gentleman, certainly fit the vibe of a nice Italian restaurant. Food is definitely one of the better Italian places on the island, but hard to say best ever. I'd say my fave dishes were probably the panna cotta cause I'm a dessert guy, the octopus was good as well, and the pinwheel was solid. Hm, everything else was cool, but, not exactly outstanding, but still consistently good generally speaking, which is always a good thing. Price was fairly equivalent with the value and taste. Nice little spot worth trying when you're craving a cool Italian restaurant vibe / cuisine. read more

A unique experience... Loved my dinner experience at Cino which is located in Kaka'ako...'A'ali'i Condominium to be exact on the ground level along side besides a few other biz they're located in the very back and what a lovely place. Reservations is a must at this cozy spot as it fills up very fast though the seatings can get quite limited the service is just phenomenal. I started dinner with a drink..."Queen's Sunset" to be exact as this papaya infusad Tequila among other items gave it a kick for sure. As we started with the Chilled Seafood Platter the spectacular presentation is amazing that they had no idea where to begin accompanied by some well crafted sauces this thing of beauty was incredible. 25oz Bone in Ribeye, Branzino, Wagyu Special, and Veal Parmesan was definitely something I'd totally recommend...the ribeye was just prepared perfectly and sliced for easy grazing, Veal was a massive tomahawk like presentation that we didn't expect, Branzino grilled beautifully plated on top of my most favorite chimichurri sauce that had a yummy kick i could have that sauce on everything. The Wagyu was phenomenal the delicate flavors just exploded our palate beyond what we'd expected. Needing something fresh we also ordered broccolini and a Caesar salad which was a bit different as it wasn't romaine but some other type of greens along with what seems like roasted bread crumbs was different but a welcome freshness that i enjoyed. Dessert was Lilikoi sorbet for me with several huge and generous scoops of yumminess a treat indeed that was a great way to end our journey. read more

This was my second time dining at Cino, and it was phenomenal! First of all, the restaurant is beautiful. The decor is very upscale, and you can tell they put attention to detail into every component. Our host, Rachel, was so welcoming and friendly, and the bartender, Kipapa, took amazing care of us. He has extensive knowledge of wine and helped us find delicious pairings for our meals and made great food recommendations. The food was incredible! Everything was so fresh, and it was all just perfect. There's nothing that could make it better! The Kumamoto oysters were so good, I could have eaten a dozen myself! The Crispy Rice was also perfection--the best I've ever had, beating Nobu's by a mile! We also ordered the Charred Spanish Octopus and Salt Roasted Baby Beets. The octopus was amazingly tender, and the beet salad was the perfect palate cleanser. For mains, we had the Herb Pappardelle and the 16oz NY strip with twice-baked potatoes. The pasta was rich and flavorful, and the steak was tender with a perfect crust. But those potatoes--they were out of this world! I wish I could have buckets of them at home. They were so smooth, luxurious, and full of flavor. I'm already looking forward to the next time I can enjoy a delicious meal from Cino! read more

Came here as one of our last date nights before having a baby. Dinner reservations were easy to make, they're located in the A`eo condo right across from the park. We parked at wholefoods and walked over. Really nice ambiance and it felt really cozy. I ordered the pork chop and a side of the twice baked potato as my starch. Wifey ordered the rigatoni bolognese. The pork chop was massive so much food I had to take home leftovers. To me the real star was that twice baked potato tho, I wasn't expecting it to be so elevated and soft! The staff were really nice and took the time to talk to us about all the options and made small talk as well. Definitely want to come back to try more things off the menu! read more

We were surprisingly let down with our experience dining at Cino's last month. I had been 3 years prior and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately the second time did not live up to our expectations. While the server was friendly and kind, the food service took a long time. So long that we didn't send back overcooked steak. For a restaurant of that caliber and price, I was expecting more. Hopefully it was just a one off. read more

Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... Many of my friends (Angel, Lyla, Rod, Jo, Lorie, Scott, Kristian, Darryl, Jenel, Nadia, Shigeru, Peter C., and Donna) wrote 5-star reviews for Cino... I had high expectations! I got my neighbor to go with me because she's blunt about food... haha! We parked for free at the Ward Entertainment Center (under the Consolidated Theater) and walked over. Located across from Nori Bar, and down the sidewalk from Planted by La Tour, Cino was at the end of the row of businesses. The interior was rather large and a bit noisy. The convenient restroom was pleasant but had a strange odor like stagnant water. My neighbor and I discussed if the fragrance could be from a human, but no... because it remained for a while... (Gas would dissipate.) Hailee was our cheerful, competent server! She was efficient and friendly! We were really looking forward to enjoying the food, but the asparagus was too salty (we thought about taking it home and rinsing it off); the duck legs were on the tough side and were rather tart (the sliced meat was succulent); and the butterfish was drowning in miso sauce. We both liked the beet appetizer with goat cheese! My favorite was the crab spaghetti. My neighbor had her first taste of uni and let me have the rest! I'm glad that I got a chance to visit... Bucket list item was checked off! I'd go back for other things on the menu, but I'm not in a rush. read more

So fortunate to have dined at Cino. I had a grand time at this fairly new restaurant in the A'ali'i Residential Condo. I've seen Yelp Elites Jo Y, Terri K, Peter C posted about this restaurant a while ago and was curious where it was on Queen St. Fortunately Jo Y asked if I wanted to try here for my birthday and I was blessed. It was a classy Italian fusion Restaurant with outstanding food. Price was on the higher side but the food was amazing and so was the service. Portions were generous too. It's nice to come for special occasions or in a large group so you can try many of their delicious offerings! We had JR as our server and got nothing but the best from him. He was very attentive and personable. He answered all our questions and knowledgable of the menu items. It was cool that the Executive Chef is from Hawaii and returned home from Las Vegas and brought the General manager, our waiter and others here to work with him. We were fortunate to meet the Executive Chef and General Manager. The only thing it can kind of loud inside with everyone talking. There were some outside seating too to escape the noise, but it's nicer to be inside. It was cooler and beautiful inside. I was told later that the Mayor Blangiardi was also dining in the house while we were there. We had dinner here but they also serve Brunch too. We were able to try the pork chops, Market Fish Branzino and Twice baked potato! You have to see the photos! It was so different and was so impressed by their presentation and uniqueness of all their dishes. I haven't seen the Twice baked potatoes before. I knew it would be good if Jo Y. had ordered and tried this before and even the 14 day dry-aged pork chops. So tender and juicy. The Market Fish Branzino was whole and deboned. It was little on the spicy side but it was flavorful. it was even beautifully plated. I was able to share two desserts of tiramisu & panna cotta topped with fresh mixed fruits. Thank you for the complimentary birthday dessert! It was great birthday dinner with good company and great service from Cino! It's one of my favorite places and would definitely repeat and dine again. I also don't mind trying their weekend brunch menu! They have numerous reviews already with favorable 5-star rating. You just know it's a good place to try. Thank you Jo. Recommend to park at the Ward Theatre parking or the Wholefoods parking lot. It's next to Planted by La Tour and Hawaii USA Federal Credit Union and the near the Rinka restaurant. read more

Wonderful new gem in Ward Village serving flavorful Italian fare. Excellent service from Dylan. Contemporary decor with inside and outside seating. Love the charred tender octopus appetizer and the popular Cino pinwheel truffle pasta. Uni crab pasta was alright with a light sauce. (For a creamier uni pasta, I recommend checking out Arancino.) The star of the meal was the truffle pinwheel pasta, which I highly recommend. Even though my wallet was crying, my palate was in heaven ;) For dessert, the tiramisu is thick like a chocolate bar on the heavier side. The lilikoi (passionfruit) sorbet is light and fruity. I want to try the panna cotta next time. Overall, we were impressed with the food, but the loud noise level from other diners can be an issue. On a Monday night for dinner, we happened to be seated in the back room with a large party, and it was uncomfortably loud for all the other tables in the room. The restaurant is working on some sound dampening cushions so hopefully that will be coming soon. In the meantime, I recommend opting to dine outdoors if you are seated near a large party so you can truly enjoy your fancy meal and hear your dining partners! read more

A great place to celebrate! Cino has such a nice atmosphere, kinda strange to note, but their chairs are SO comfortable and the dining room is beautifully decorated. Indoors can get a bit noisy. I highly recommend trying a dinner special--I ordered the agnolotti which was perfectly cooked + filled with sweet corn and topped with a corn foam. I also tried bites of my parents' branzino (daily dish special) and ribeye. Another standout was the fluffy twice baked potatoes! I ended my night with a refreshing lilikoi sorbet (always save room for dessert!). Couldn't ask for a better dining experience--and excellent service was the icing on the cake :) we will be back! read more

Since its inception in last fall of 2023, Cino has had consistently good food and decent service. I've deducted one star because the restaurant is cramped and noisy; it is not the best place for a tête-à-tête to reconnect with a friend.

Cino - Italian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Mmmmm, thank you Yelp Elite Terry K. for introducing me to this fine restaurant. Having just returned to Honolulu, I was not aware of this new location. Such a pleasant dining experience and the food was exquisite! We started with cocktails and the charred octopus. This had a nice smoky flavor and it was so tender. It paired well with a light romesco. Call me crazy, but I'm a sucker for beef tartare. This was my favorite because the flavors and textures were a match made in heaven! The filet mignon was soft and the tapioca puff was crisp. The egg yolk emulsion was light and the capers gave it a bold burst. When eaten together, there's a harmonious balance that made my heart sing :) After two wonderful appetizers, we decided to share the osso bucco. This was fork tender and tasted great with the saffron risotto. They are generous with the saffron too! And the crispy garlic potatoes were on point! Thank you to our server JR for being so attentive to us. This was a lovely dining experience and I know I'll return! read more

For date night, my fiancé and I decided to go to Cino. We really enjoyed our first dinner there. The decor is amazing and I loved sitting at table 50. I was really looking forward to having a nice evening and enjoying a beautiful filet mignon for dinner. We started with a couple of appetizers. The crab cakes and a Caesar salad. The crab cakes were okay, nothing special. However, I did enjoy the Caesar. Instead of a traditional Caesar salad, they did their own spin to it. It had radicchio and romaine. I enjoyed the bitterness of the radicchio in the salad. I also liked their take on croutons. Rather than having big pieces of croutons (that are so awkward to eat sometimes), they did a dusting of toasted bread crumbs, which I enjoyed. As I mentioned earlier, I was really looking forward to the filet mignon. I hadn't enjoyed a nice steak in a minute. I think it was a beautiful cut of meat, until it was cooked. There was too much char on the steak for my liking. Now where I liked the bitterness of the radicchio in the Caesar, I did not enjoy the bitterness I tasted when biting into my steak. I tried really hard to enjoy it, but I just couldn't do it. That bitterness remained as an aftertaste for quite some time. I should have mentioned something to the server, but I had eaten half of it by then and didn't want to be that guest. You know..the one who eats most of their food and then complains about it afterwards. I may come back again for their pasta dishes, but definitely not when I'm craving a steak. read more

What a beautiful ambiance! A perfect restaurant for special occasions. I happen to celebrate my birthday dinner here and our server JR was outstanding. Upon seated, he was very descriptive about how the restaurant came to be and explained their menu. We trusted him on our choices and we were blown away. Located at Ward by Holey Grail. Just a few walking distance. For appetizer, we ordered Fritto Misto with Beef Tartare and they were delicious. Entree we ordered New York Strip and Wagyu Special with Broccolini and Crispy Garlic Potatoes. Dessert was complementary and we got 2, Tiramisu 10/10 and I forgot what it was called but it was Mango and Coconut Cream. We both were impressed and would love to come back and try other item on their menus. read more

We had been at a nearby establishment and were super disappointed with our experience there, that we didn't eat much and were still hungry. In our wandering around, we saw Cino and I mentioned that I had been wanting to check it out. I'm so thrilled we did. With no reservations on a Friday night, we walked in around 730 and were seated quickly. Our server was incredible, very communicative and excited about the menu, chef, and restaurant. We enjoyed the items we ordered and had to take home leftovers. It's a smooth, warm vibe, with moderate noise levels. I'm excited to go back again and try more items. read more

So glad we did because the food was delicious. All the staff that we met were absolutely amazing. From the hostess to the bartender to our waiter. Everyone was amazing.

Visited here almost a year later they opened for the second time. The first time was just a few days after they opened the restaurant. The service here has much improved since then. The waiter explained the menu and recommended the menu well. We had caprese, crispy rice, crab pasta, filet mignon, twice baked potatoes, and tiramisu. We all loved everything except one thing (if we may ask),if we could have au jour sauce, we could have enjoyed the steak more. Thank you very much for good foods! read more

My girlfriend and I had heard about this restaurant and decided to come around their first few months. The interior is absolutely beautiful and the really adds to the ambiance. We were here for our galentine's day celebration and it was cute seeing other groups and couples too. Everything we had was good, but nothing quite stood out amazingly to us. I did appreciate how the server knew we were splitting everything and brought share utensils for each dish. That really was a small but extra step that we appreciated as an indicator of their service. Our favorite was surprisingly the twice baked potato, both of us couldn't get enough of it even compared to our main dishes. The wild boar was a little sweet after a while, which I was not expecting and usually boar is more gamey. I don't think there is parking specifically in their building so we were a little confused as to where it was located. Good reminder to park in one of the surrounding lots like the one attached to Dave & Busters. read more
