This is an old video taken in May of this year. I unfortunately forgot about it due to the summer trips I had and did not edit it. Well, finally here it is! It's not authentic, but it's tasty and the portions are generous when you want a nice pasta dish.

Aloha Misty: Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a great 2024! You found, and vlogged, a great find in Aiea. That spaghetti dish with salad, and desert, was huge, and would made three meals, when divided-up. Just the salad, and some buttered bread, would have been a meal-in-itself. 😀. Imagine a glass of Chianti with the meal - yum! I am glad to see good Italian food in Hawaii! Looking forward to your next vlog. Best wishes and much 🧧! 🤙 to a fellow 🐯! Mahalo!

Hi Misty, You found the jackpot of Italian food. The salami and maybe pepperoncini in your salad elevates a simple salad. Your meat sauce looks nice and thick that coats the noodles nicely. I love olives, too. Aiden is going to enjoy your dinner, too. Oh, and the tiramisu and ice cream looks heavenly.

Hey, we think alike! I also agree that if an Italian restaurant does plain spaghetti and meat sauce well, then everything else is good, too. Similar is true for dim sum places....always order the shrimp dumpling (har gau). If the har gau is good, all the rest should be good as well.

the restaurant was in downtown honolulu, and they still have a satellite take out in the fort street mall area, where aloha pacific bank is. because the previous restaurant closed due to the change in the building, the owners moved out to waimalu shopping, closer to pearl city, i have yet to go there. however, if i’m ever in that area, i plan to go. i not only miss the food, but the owners, who incidentally are not italian. they are asian but i don’t know the nationality, but they were friendly and great to talk to. oh, the food is great; this is not some spaghetti house meal.

If they gave bread this place would be #1 in Aiea. Next time they update their menu they should add an additional 25¢ to each dish to cover the “complimentary “ bread.

It's not pricey at all considering the huge portion. One can share it with someone because it's huge. I made 3 meals out of it. There's no Italian restaurant other than Win Sputino that gives those sized portions. Assagio's is just as expensive but smaller portions. In my opinion dining out is expensive in Hawaii and if the price is a turn off then might as well cook ar home.
