"For The BEST Italian on O'ahu"

"This restaurant is the best on the island for italian cusine. I spent 3 years living in Hawaii and every chance I got, when I could afford a nice dinner, I went. Very large portions and ceasar salad made right at your table are just two things that draw people to this wonderful resturant. If you are looking for a great dinner than this is the place to go. Make sure you make reservations if you are going at dinner time or expect a wait."

"The wildly popular chain, until recently the toast of suburban Oahu, moved into Ala Moana Center to a roar of approval and immediate success. Townies can now enjoy Assaggio's extensive, high-quality Italian offerings -- at good prices. The lighter lunch menu features pasta dishes and house specialties (shrimp scampi, rigatoni alla ricotta) at prices around $10 and less. At dinner, a panoply of pastas and specialties streams out of the kitchen: at least nine chicken entrees, pasta dishes ranging from mushroom and clam to linguine primavera, and eight veal choices. One of Assaggio's best features is its prodigious seafood selection: shrimp, scallops, mussels, calamari, and fresh fish in so many preparations, ranging from plain garlic and olive oil to spicy tomato and wine sauces. Assaggio's excellent service and the fact that entrees are priced under $20 deserve our applause."

"Assaggio's serves up the best Italian dishes in Hawaii. The prices are a little more pricey then other places but the atmosphere, service, and food are incredible. If your looking for a romantic dinner or to have a business lucheon this is the place, they offer takeout and are great at accommdating for larger parties."

"There are five Assagio's restaurants on Oahu, each as great as the others. The food is very, very good, and the portions are large (hint: order the "regular" portion and take some home for the next day). I love the chicken parmesan and the fish, but have taken people here for years who ordered all over the menu and always get raves."

"Assagio’s is known island-wide for its excellent food and reasonable prices. This value restaurant has a nice atmosphere, good service and it’s a great place to eat on a date or with the family. Probably Hawaii’s best value Italian-themed restaurant."
