Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Kaimuki

There’s a reason this place has won awards for best Italian restaurant in Hawaii. They’ve taken simple Italian dishes and elevated them to something really special, without charging obscene prices. The Caprese salad was the most flavorful one I’ve ever had in my life — and I eat that dish A LOT! The Parmesan risotto was outstanding (in addition to being prepared tableside in a very cool way); and the “deconstructed” tiramisu was perfection. Best of all, my server, Diego, was lovely and attentive but never overbearing, which helped put me at ease as I dined alone. Do not miss the special place!

Perfectly seasoned and delicious food! We actually enjoyed it more than the Kahala location. Will be back on another Friday night to catch the fireworks again. Great night!

Excellent first experience at Quiora for a Valentine's Day lunch! We loved the drinks, that Sangria is incredible!! The apps were so good in the SMoked Ahi and crispy brussel sprouts, our lunchs were extremely tasty as well. Royce was as good a server as you can get, we'll be back soon! Love the location and view, atmosphere is wonderful as well.

Excellent food , pasta was homemade . No liquor license but are allowed to byob.

Arancini never disappoints!! Truly a taste of Italy! Spaghetti pomodoro and lasagna were delicious! Service spot on after each course. Always a must whenever we’re in Honolulu!
