Sabrina's Restaurant, Honolulu, Hawaii Restaurant Details

Food:

Wonderful food experience. Pasta Al dente as appreciated by Italians. Great service. Had the chance to meet Sabrina. Make reservation and go Tue-Thu if you want to avoid the crowd.

Food:

Great food. Did have to wait awhile for our meal, but well worth the wait. Parking is tight so recommend parking across the street at the lower lot of City Mill Hardware.

Food:

The best Italian food we've had since we went to Italy for our honeymoon a couple years ago. The pasta is actually served el dente! The owners run the restaurant like a normal ristorante in Italy, so don't complain if you feel like your food comes too slow - that's the way it's supposed to be!

Food:

portions of greasy, not prepared-well ingredients in your pasta dishes and pay a premium for it, maybe this place is for you. Good service but worst value, worst wait time, meat portions are ridiculously small for the price unless you order the pasta dishes. Don't order the clam pasta, mine was crunchy with sand both in the clams and in the pretty delicious sauce mixed in with the pasta. Pasta is not al dente but mushy and soft the way some chinese noodles should be. Chef - needs to learn how to better manage his/her time. In a restaurant, meal prep should not take 1 hr 30 minutes to serve 2 otherwise what's the point in going there??? I could have just cooked at home, yes??? Don't be stupid and don't go there if you want a romantic, stress free, no cooking evening. Left hungry and upset after 2.5 hours filled with water and bread lol. Stupid place to go claims they're experts in preparing fine Italian food and that it takes them extra long which is why it's sooooo good. Well,not in my opinion. I'll never go there again.

Food:

I recently read a review from the Advertiser saying that people with Type A personality should not go to this restaurant! Well....they couldn't have been more wrong. Being told all of my life that I am a Type A personality leaves me to believe that I must be, so I am writing to say that ANY personality would love this place. I was told ahead of time that you do wait a bit longer for your dinner than most places, but what Sabrina's does is let you pre-order your appetizer ahead of time and its served minutes after you arrive, so waiting an hour for dinner while drinking our own wine was no problem at all. We had a delicious order of escargots, mushroom rissoto and a big salad while we waited for our entrees. I have eaten at alot of places on this island and the one thing I can say is I felt so welcomed, and comfortable from the start. Did I mention that the food is home made by her husband and ever so delicious! I am actually eating there again this Friday after having tried it only 2 weeks ago! This time, instead of 4 people, I am coming with 10 pp.....and we ordered our pupus ahead of time! Former Chef, Momi
