Main location of what seems like a million Italian restaurants by mogol, Thomas Ky. Great Italian food, or what I like to call Chinese/Vietnamese Italian, as most of their cooks are Chinese or Vietnamese. Cold Antipasti plate to start is a great way to begin. Their fresh bread is always piping hot and delicious. Favorites include Pollo Saltimboca (ask for it with red sauce!), any seafood dish, the Tenderloin Steak (awesome!), any salad, and actually pretty much anything on the menu. It's a nice hideaway from the hustle and bustle of Ala Moana Shopping Center, a perfect way to take a break from shopping.

Tom's Tip: if you're dining alone, the bar is a great place to enjoy a great meal and catch a game on tv.
