Dined there last night- our family reserved a table for 4- To be candid and honest, my husband and I do not dine out much since Covid- so many changes to the hospitality industry after- my background is in Hospitality as well. Drove from the North Shore to meet family staying at Kahala Resort. We were so impressed with the staff and the welcoming atmosphere As for Arancino, we were simply blown away. Everyone we interacted with, from our server Kristen- who literally created an idyllic adventure of planning our meal extravaganza, to manager Christian, welcoming us with warmth and authenticity- the laughter and gaiety was shared by all The food was sublime- no competition for the fine dining experience- from the delicate cake focaccia to the lambchops, tagliatelle asparagi and so many other dishes and special touches- I guess I just didn’t realize how much I missed being pampered at a restaurant - no kissing up - no fake smiles- just true warmth and grace, on our beautiful island, nestled in Kahala land.🌺🥰 Everything we shared - our family left with the longing to return again and again! Our most sincere gratitude for making our night together as a family so dear- a memory we will not likely forget💗 Mana sends his love as well

My husband and I dined here last night and had the best time. Our waiter, Leo, was fantastic!! He really guided us on ordering and making sure we got the best dishes. The carbonara (add truffle) was out of this world, and the pizza we shared was delicious. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Near the Kahala Resort valet driveway (opposite Hoku’s) is the Arancino restaurant. We were celebrating a birthday and I requested a relatively quiet table. We were seated just outside the indoor area which had a large group table seating and smaller 2 and 4-person tables nearer to the kitchen. The hostess staff were professional and cool and our server, Ken, was warm, instructive and gracious. The 5 stars are largely for him. The mai tai-liano was delicious, truly. So good! The first serving of focaccia was also amazing (fluffy, warm, moist). The lobster bisque was tasty but a little clumpy and the brioche square was chewy. I think I’m spoiled from lobster bisque (Magnolias) I tried in Charleston. Anyway, I don’t think you can go wrong with the pasta dishes here (おすすめ、courtesy of Ken). The uni San Marzano cream spaghetti was rich and delicious. The cacio pepe-like Rigatoni was also really good. Portion size was perfect so we could try their dessert and leave space for the birthday surprise dessert which was very dramatic and tasty.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing dinner at Arancino at The Kahala! The Italian food was absolutely delicious — every dish was full of flavor, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. But what really made the evening unforgettable was our waiter, Salomon. He was beyond excellent — attentive without being overbearing, full of great energy, and made us feel like VIPs the entire night. He had the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, knew the menu inside and out, and added that extra spark that turned a great meal into an incredible experience. Honestly, Salomon is the definition of a five-star waiter. He’s such a great worker and Arancino is lucky to have him as part of their team. If you’re fortunate enough to be seated in his section, you’re guaranteed an amazing dining experience. We’ll definitely be coming back — both for the food and for the outstanding service!

Arancino Ristorante Italiano is a gem! The ambience is elegant and cozy — perfect for a special night out or a relaxed dinner with loved ones. Big shoutout to Thor, our amazing waiter! He was kind, attentive, and made our experience extra enjoyable with his great recommendations and upbeat attitude. Yes, it’s on the pricier side and the portions are a bit smaller, but every bite is worth it. The quality, presentation, and authentic Italian flavors truly stand out. If you’re looking for a memorable Italian dining experience, this place delivers. And if you get Thor as your server — even better!
