Best Honolulu Restaurants: Bernini
Address: 1218 Waimanu St, Honolulu, HI 96814
Bernini Honolulu is an Italian-Japanese restaurant located in Hawaii. There is also a location in Tokyo, but the one in Hawaii is better in my opinion.
It has more of an Italian influence than a Japanese one, as most of the dishes are either pasta or pizza. However, many of the pastas have a Japanese twist, such as their uni pasta or their arrabbiata with shrimp. It is not only Japanese tasting in the ingredients they use, but also in the flavor of the dishes. Most of the pastas and pizzas are lighter and less oily than they would be at a traditional Italian restaurant.
Recently, Bernini has also been having takeout specials due to COVID-19. A couple of the dishes that I tried recently, the American Wagyu Cut Steak and the Wagyu Beef Stroganoff, were really good. The steak was super tender and flavorful, and it also came with soup and dessert for $17. Also, the Stroganoff sauce was really good, and both dishes were worth ordering in my opinion.
Normally, Bernini is a more upscale restaurant, but the takeout menu is pretty affordable and really high quality. Pasta and most Italian foods always taste better when served fresh in a restaurant; however, Bernini actually holds pretty well and tastes pretty similar to eating at the restaurant. I still would like to go back to the restaurant once it opens back up again though!

Hi,
This is a blog for myself (and hopefully others) to keep track of all of the places, restaurants, books, movies, etc. that I do not want to forget. I am a college student who has lived in the US, Asia, and Europe for extended periods of time; I am very lucky to have had these experiences, and I want to share my recommendations with people interested in any of these locations.
NONE of these posts are advertisements. I do not have any discount codes or promotions for anything I write about; however, this should be considered a positive because it means that everything I write about reflects my true feelings. In order to keep this blog positive, my posts will only be recommendations for the things I enjoy the most in life. The topics will vary between whatever subjects I am interested in at a certain time, and I will have 1-2 new posts per day.
I wish I could have started this project earlier while some of my memories were fresher in my mind, but it is better late than never. I hope that other people will have the chance to visit or experience things that I write about, and I hope that people will have a similar taste in life to myself!
i want to try
