"Let me start by saying that the food is good, ambiance is cute and prices are reasonable. Also BYOB, which is always a plus. It was my first night back in town and my boyfriend made reservations for us. We were promptly seated, but the good service ends there. A girl greeted us and brought wine glasses and water, but never came back to open the bottle. The place wasn't even half full, but we were left to sit for over 10 minutes. I finally got up and asked the hostess for a wine key or server, and about 5 minutes later another flustered waitress came to help us. She wrote down our order and eventually sent someone else to open our wine. This girl took our bottle to an empty table, struggled for a while to figure out how a wine key works, and I finally offered to open it myself. She thanked me and walked away. Our soup came out first and was tasty, however I asked for parmesan cheese and it never came. My boyfriend got up and asked again for cheese and still no one brought it. Frustrating, but whatever. Then our salad came, but it wasn't what we ordered. No one came back to check on us, the previous dirty dishes stayed on the table, and eventually I placed these on another table and went to find our server to correct the order. She promptly fixed it and comped our salad. Then the entrees came about two bites into our appetizer and were left to get cold. The waitress finally checked back on us about 20 minutes later. She was friendly enough, but wow, that service was atrocious! Get better staff and train them please! You have lots of potential, but bad service makes for a bad experience. I will not be back."

"I've been to this location several times for lunch pre COVID, and was so excited to come back. Although they don't have their same kama'aina lunch specials, the pastas and focaccia bread are worth returning for Food: You'll first start off with focaccia bread and olive oil. The bread was so warm and fluffy I could honestly just eat this for the rest of my meal. There are so many different dishes to try at Arancino di Mare but if there's one I must recommend, it's their tagliatelle con prosciutto e funghi Mixed with bits of prosciutto for that saltiness to cut the richness of the creamy sauce with the aromatic mushrooms everything about this dish is done right. Can't forget their perfectly cooked noodles which I learned recently is freshly made in this dish specifically. I was also able to have a taste of the uni pasta and their carbonara. Both are so delicious, but definitely on the richer side. They were also kind enough to provide their house tiramisu as we celebrated our friend's birthday. If you're a coffee lover, it's a must try (as it is also an available menu option). Ambience/service: Low key yet classy; they are located in the Mariott hotel so you'll get a mix of dressing up and casual attire. Very alfresco vibes with cute lights and outdoor seating if you choose. The servers were very engaging and courteous. Food came out in a timely fashion. They also gave us additional bread per request! Parking: Validation provided for parking at the hotel."
