Top Best Italian Restaurants in Oahu

"As the name suggests, Taormina Sicilian Cuisine offers fancy Italian food inspired by Taormina, a seaside village in Southern Sicily. This establishment has a cute outside dining space on Lewers St opposite Waikiki Beach Walk. Dine-in for lunch 11am-2pm or dinner 5-8pm (9pm on Friday and Saturday)."

"It’s so hard to find duck and this had to be the best duck I’ve ever had!. The atmosphere was wonderful and the wine list was..."

"I inhaled this food so I forgot to take photos at the start. I'm vegetarian now but have liked everything I've tried here. I first tried this place around 10…”more"

"The Royal Hawaiian Center is right in the middle of Waikiki, on the northern edge of the beach area. This shopping and dining center also provides opportunities for free classes in Ukulele, Weaving, Lei-making, and more!. Check out the Events page to see what’s going on while you’re there!"

"Visit the Royal Hawaiian Center, home to Cartier, Hermes, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bvlgari, bebe, LeSportsac, Rolex Kaimama Kea, Kate spade, Tourneau, Juicy Couture, and Fendi, as well as ten restaurants, several causal eateries and The Royal Grove cultural venue."

"When planning your trip to Honolulu, you’ll want to know all of the best spots for shopping. Where else can you buy bobble-headed hula dancers as souvenirs?. The Royal Hawaiian Center isn’t the only shopping complex in the city."

"In one day, you can drive this 100-mile path with some beach hopping, but you might have to cherry-pick between the longer activities like the hike, Waimea Valley and the Polynesian Cultural Center if you don’t want to feel rushed. Depart early from Honolulu for your drive north through the farmlands and mountain views of the center of the island, to stretches of empty beachfront and the northwest terminus of the highway at Kaena Point. If you want to do some hiking, the Kaena Point Trail is a 3.5-mile, out-and-back path from the end of the road to the remote western point of the island inaccessible to vehicles."

"Tour Waimea Valley where you can learn about Hawaiian culture, admire a beautiful variety of trees, shrubs and plants and enjoy a swim at a waterfall. (See this link for TripAdvisor reviews of Waimea Valley.)"

"Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden is a 400 acre protected area that was originally built up as flood protection. It offers events like camping, drawing or painting classes, and specific catch-and-release fishing days on the weekends!. The garden is about 35 minutes from Waikiki (by car or service only) on the eastern side of the island."

"Let me start by saying we rarely bother photographing man-made nature, such as botanical gardens. There is nothing inherently wrong with it, but it feels a bit inauthentic; it’s like building a wildlife photography portfolio by going to a zoo. With that said, the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens are absolutely worth the trip!"

"La Palme D’or is located within Ala Moana Center but it deserves a solo post. This slightly fancy Japanese bakery is popular for beautiful drinks. Remember our obsession with the Coffee Jelly drink?"
