Assaggio Kailua

"It is best to call and make reservations. I like how friendly the person I spoke with over the phone. But it would be nice to remind/inform the customer that they have an aloted space for parking. I like the ambiance when we had our dinner, not so crowded, quite relaxing. Servers were polite. Food serving is big, for me it is good for two person if you are a small eater. Food taste wise, well it is just OK. Am not sure if am expecting much from Italian foods because it is my favorite or there is just something wrong with my taste bud that night and I did not enjoy the food much. I ordered the chicken and Shrimp casino and sadly, I did not enjoy it. There's alot of onion and the way it was cut is kinda weird for an italian dish. Maybe I have watched too much cooking show that I expected alot from the presentation. The sauce, well I can still taste the wine from it so I just had few bites then ask for a box for take out later. The ossobucco paired with fried potatoes was good. The Veal Pasta that my hubby ordered is just OK. If you have a sweet tooth, they have several options, but next time will stick to my favorite Tiramisu. Wines and beers they have nice choices. Fruit drinks, not much option. So if you like mango or guava, it is not available. Will I ever comeback? I might ( not that soon though) since it is snot to farcof a drive to where I live."

"The food (especially Crab cakes with wonderful "white" sauce) was great. The service was also fairly good, but the drinks left a little too be desired. For a fine dining experience, I felt like the tables were too close together (we were crammed in a corner and if I had brought my elderly grandparents or anyone who was not "slim", it may have been uncomfortable). It also had somewhat of a "cheap" feel with the walls being lacquered plywood... But the food and service were worth going back."

"The restaurant offers a great Italian dining experience, featuring an extensive variety of pastas and specialty dishes. The service is outstanding, with attentive and friendly staff. Our choices, including the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo and Chicken Alla Parmigiana, were delectable – the fettuccine was wonderfully creamy with juicy meat, and the parmigiana was deliciously well-seasoned. The dining experience was completed with a delightful Chocolate Cake."

"Great food and service. The fresh bread is always great! A touch let down by the anchovy pasta. Don't get me wrong it was still delicious. But I would call the dish fried garlic pasta with a hint of anchovy."

"This was a great Assaggio's! The food was delicious with pretty sizeable portions. I definitely recommend trying it what's on the daily specials if you have a chance. They change every so often, and it's always nice to try something different. My wife finally didn't complain about how the steak was prepared (yes, she's VERY picky)! The service was top notch! Our server David was very friendly and helpful. When an ingredient from the bar want available for a drink, the bartender was nice enough to come to it table, explain the situation and offer an alternative. All-in-all, a great experience if you're around the area. Parking can be a bit challenging, but it'll give you an excuse to walk around and explore the area."
