La Cucina Italiano - Honolulu

Everything we've tried on our visits here has been excellent. The cioppino is great, and my wife loved both the bolognese and the gnocchi. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic. The service was prompt, attentive, and friendly. The food is made fresh when you order and thus takes awhile to arrive, and without reservations expect a wait to be seated.

A little hidden gem. Homemade pasta and sausage, bone marrow, unique dishes created by a top level chef. Great dining experience!

Every entree is freshly prepared by the chef and you can taste that freshness and attention to detail. However, that also means really long wait times for your food.

We read the reviews and heard voice-mail regarding the wait, so we were prepared for the wait. It was an amazing experience! Every single dish we had was beautiful and delicious!!!!!! I am definitely going back. For appetizers, we had the bone marrow and bruschetta. For entrees, we had the risotto funghi, and the pasta with lobster meat. It was soooooo good Will be going back!!!!!

Absolutely love this restaurant. A little hard to find but it's inside the building next to the strip mall. There is a parking garage. I found it best to just do a walk in and wait for a party of 2. Sometimes 45 minutes but so worth it. I ordered 4 entrees for 2 people and we finished it all. It's all super good but the pastas are killer. Seating area is cozy and you'll get to know the people around you.
