Another perfect dinner at Arancino at The Kahala.  Love this place!

I always begin my meal here with the Caviar with Ebi.  A bit expensive at $58 for an appetizer, but after one bite you forget about the price and just enjoy.  The chilled raw sweet Shrimp with the Caviar is perfection.  Another perfect dish is the Hokkaido Scallop Sashimi.  Wow....this one blew my mind.  The Scallop melted in my mouth like butter with a flavor explosion that I will never forget.  Immediately after we finished the plate of Scallops, I seriously was thinking about ordering another one.  I would return just for this dish and a nice glass of wine.  The Lobster Bisque is the best in Hawaii and the Pizza is great but a bit floppy.  Wish they could crisp up the center of the crust more.  I love the Carbonara and it is my 

"go to" entree.

With our favorite restaurant on Oahu now closed (Margotto Hawaii), we have been going back to our second favorite restaurant which is Arancino at The Kahala.  Food and service always excellent here and on this special birthday visit it did not disappoint.  We tried the Carpaccio di Polpo for the first time and it was incredible.  Slices of Octopus with Garlic Crunch, Celery Ribbons, Olives and a light Lemon Garlic Olive Oil Dressing.  Will be ordering this dish every time for now on.  Next up was one of my all time favorite dishes which is the Tartare di Gamberi con Caviale or Caviar with Ebe (Shrimp).  This always hits the spot and is perfect with a glass of champagne.  The Lobster Bisque is the best on Oahu and my wife and daughter ALWAYS order it.  Highly recommend the Pizza Tre Porcellini which is like a Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza.  Delicious!  My daughter loved the Pappardelle alla Bolognese and I really enjoyed the Rigatoni all' Amatriciana which was a nice change up from me normally getting the Carbonara which I love.  My wife loved the Tagliolini Neri con Astice which is a nice Main Lobster with Squid Ink Pasta.  I had this dish on our last visit and loved it.  Appreciated the great service and special Happy Birthday dessert presented by the Manager.  

Love this restaurant and will continue coming back again and again!

With our favorite Pasta restaurant ever (Margotto Hawaii) now closed for good, we are back at Arancino at The Kahala which has always been a favorite.  Food and service is great here.  My "go to" meal is the Caviar with Ebe and Carbonara Pasta.  Went with a new menu item this time which was Lobster with Squid Ink Pasta.  Absolutely delicious.  The Lobster Bisque is my wife's favorite and we both agree that it is the best in Hawaii.  The Uni Pasta is my wife and daughter's favorite and it is rare that they don't order it.  Only complaint on this visit was that I got too full and couldn't enjoy one of their great pizzas.
