Dining Out Italiano

Our friend, "Sam" who is visiting us from Japan insisted on taking us out to dinner tonight. I asked my friend, Joanne where we should go. She recommended Palazzo Ristorante Italiano in Aiea about 15 minutes away. We checked the web and found good reviews so we decided to give it a try.



Palazzo Ristorante Italiano
99-080 Kauhale St # C2
Aiea, HI 96701-4117


Art had this calamari dish which was really delicious and the rest of us had the Scallops Piccate. I think that's what it was called. Whatever its name, it was fabulous. We were all thrilled with our food and the friendly service. The owner, Lok waited very kindly on us and we had a lovely meal. All the wait staff was extremely attentive throughout our dinner.


I wasn't expecting such terrific Italian food right here on Oahu in our neck of the woods. It was also quite reasonable. I'd go back there instead of some of the pricier places we've been to. OK... so we don't go to pricey restaurants unless somebody is getting married or won something or graduated but... this was very nice indeed!

Calamari, yum! Aiea is a bit further from home than we're likely to range for dinner, otherwise I'd give it a try.

I LOVE Italian food (too much). Now, with my diabetes, I have to cut down on the pasta, but I still love it. What a fun night. Love the photo.

Dear Kay,
thanks a lot.all bcoz Chandan doesn't want me quit i came up with this solution of changing my blog into a group blog where focus will be on culture and traditions...now more to read for the readers,blog alive and kicking,less involvement from my side...hope it works,if not ..my family will always be my first priority.Thanks for your thoughtful concern...hugs,Kavita.

This was a very massive one...sonny was awake while daughter was sleeping...i grabbed my son and dragged my sleeping daughter outside...our house is safe but many houses cracked...it was 6.3 in magnitude.

Sometimes it´s worth it to pay more and enjoy your meal.
I have not had those dishes you mentioned, but they sounded delicious!
