I love Arancino at The Kahala and this is one of my all time favorite meals in Hawaii.

Caviar with Ebe, Mushroom Pizza and Carbonara with Truffles.  Oh....and a little vino too.

Another almost flawless dinner at Margotto Hawaii.  Damn I love this place.  I say almost flawless because we tried a new dish that was Risotto with Abalone.  The Abalone smelled fishy and the dish was terrible.  First ever time I didn't like a dish here.  Other than that, they were firing on all cylinders with some of the best food ever.  Love the Chef and staff here as they really take care of us.  On this visit Chef Kenji from Tokyo was here and he joined us for a photo.  I met Kenji at Margotto Tokyo in Japan.  Great guy and Chef.  Every time I eat here my eyes roll back and I just say "wow".  Some of the best tastes of my life.

This was one of the best meals of my life.  Not only did Chef Shiori surprise us with a special Mr. Drew Santos menu, but our old favorites shined with the amazing flavors that have made Margotto Hawaii my favorite restaurant in Hawaii.  Every dish was perfect with flavors you cannot get anywhere else.  Mind blowing delicious especially when you add Foie Gras and Truffles.  The Pastas here are the best in Hawaii with the Bolognese, Cacio Pepe and Uni Tomato Cream being world class.  Chef's Special Filet Mignon was INCREDIBLE.  Cut like butter and melted in my mouth with Foie Gras and a truffle sauce adding to the party of flavors.  One of the best steaks ever!  All I can say is I already want to go back.  Love the food, staff, service and Chef at Margotto Hawaii.  Highly recommend you try Margotto and go "family style" so everyone can enjoy a variety of dishes.  

UPDATE: 2026 - My favorite restaurant in Hawaii (Margotto) has closed.
