    Very pricey, tagliatelle was wrong width, and over cooked. Bolognese was over salted. Lasagna was dry, not very hot, missing mozzarella, and they must have assembled with dry pasta and accidentally put 2 layers of pasta on top of each other with no filling so when it cooked the pasta came out under cooked and gummy. It was horrible food in general. They brought us 2 little pieces of bread to start and never replenished. With 2 glasses of wine and 1 entrees each our check was $170. What a joke. I wanted to complain but the manager was in the back and I didn’t want to wait. It was 7:30 on a Saturday and there wasn’t even a manager on the floor! Poorly run, unsophisticated place. Incredible location as well, which is why I was surprised it was pretty easy to get a reservation, but now I understand why.

    Nice tucked in a corner of the Sheraton hotel area. A little gem. I had the fish piccata which was well seasoned and not greasy. My SO had the pizza. The crust was light and fluffy without being doughy. Happy hour drinks are very reasonable. Our waiter was great!

    I dined at Il Lupino twice during a 3 day trip to Honolulu. I definitely recommend it. For food, I found that the seafood linguine was outstanding - one of the best renditions I have ever had because it was flavorful and spicy with the appropriate balance. The shellfish and fresh fish were perfectly prepared. The pepperoni pizza had a pleasantly chewy crust and the pepperoni were flavorful. I am from New Jersey, and this passed muster. The Chianti by the glass was delicious - just make sure it isn't too warm. The only dish that needed improvement was the Caesar Salad. It lacked enough anchovy. It would be great if they could include anchovy filets. The service was outstanding, especially from a waitress named Geena. Sitting on tree lined patio was quiet and peaceful.

    Service and food were really good. The kitchen being in the middle of the restaurant was distracting and loud. Dishes clanked the entire time and servers were back and forth. There was no door and the curtain was open. You could see in. This took away from the experience I know they were trying to deliver.

    Honestly, we expected much more flavor in our food. Bland pretty much sums it up. I've had more flavor at Olive Garden. Food came out one entree at a time and wasn't that busy. One of our party ordered a sparkling Rose and they didn't have it so they brought out something else, not even aknowledging it. Great atmosphere outside but not worth it.

    19:30に予約して来店。イタリアン料理なのにこの時間で既にピザが全て売り切れている、パスタも一種類売り切れで注文したパスタのサイズも間違えられました。頼んだハッシュポテトも結局出てこず、またメインのチキンも固すぎて噛みきれない。最悪でした。

    Service was terrible , my husband and I ordered drink and appetizers- Waited over an hour for our dinner to arrive When and spoke to the host - asking for General manger - who appeared at our table asking what was wrong - when we mentioned that it’s been over and hour - and our meal had not arrived - he said he was unaware of the issue, my husband said we are bring it to your attention- now he said he would check - 12 minutes later , he never checked back with us - General manger and his staff are terrible at customer service and handling concerns - worst dining experience- in Honolulu We finally walked out -

    This place is sad, looks very classy it’s deceiving. The food was disturbing to say the least. Then the waitress tried to scam us a few dollars. It was overall a joke. Unreal, It’s a tourist trap. Waste of a lot of money, time, our nerves ect…. That place is an embarrassment people should not be given that awful food it’s a scam we watched most the tables around us leave all their food and even a few bites left. Horrid situation

    We were seated quickly with our reservation but once we were seated we ordered an appetizer and then our meals about 15mins later. Our sons food came out before the appetizer then about 10mins later my plate came out then the appetizer and after about 10 more minutes I asked about my wife’s plate and they had forgot to put in the order so we waited for it. The flavor was bland and this was the worse meal we had service and flavor. They only good part to it was the older gentleman who kept our glasses full of water was pleasant and apologized for the issues. Very disappointed!
