Reviews Summary
Assaggio Kailua is praised for its authentic Italian-American cuisine, with many reviewers highlighting the quality and generous portions of their pasta and chicken dishes. The service is frequently commended as exceptional and friendly, contributing to a positive dining atmosphere. While most experiences are very good, some diners have noted issues with cramped seating arrangements and occasional service lapses, particularly regarding drink refills or special occasion acknowledgments.
"I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and quantity of the food at this establishment. We had two different chicken dishes and both were unbelievably good. My son had a shrimp Linguini that was also excellent. The Bread Basket they give you is almost too good and it's difficult not to get filled up before your meal arrives. The service was also incredibly good, all in all I would highly recommend."

"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."
Keli Griffin
"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."
