Last Friday, David and I were craving Italian food for lunch, so we headed out to Palazzo Ristorante Italiano in Aiea. It’s our favorite spot for a bit of Italy. This time, we decided to choose new items from their extensive menu:
We started with warm bread and butter:
As our appetizer, we had a lovely prosciutto with honey dew melon. We just picked it up with our fingers and munched on the colorful slices. Very refreshing for our palate:
David ordered his usual veal and eggplant provenciale:
I decided to try the fish ala piccata. This time, the fish of the day was opah (moonfish). The bones and skin were removed, and the fish was sautéed with garlic, mushrooms, and capers in a lemon butter wine sauce. Absolutely delicious:
This is a close up of the fish. It was really tender and moist. The capers gave it a tangy boost:
The menu is quite extensive, and it’s fun to experiment with new entrees. We’ll be back soon.

That is the beauty of Hawaii. So many choices from ethnic dishes. We had the Italian food on Friday, Monday will be Thai food. Wednesday may be Korean or Japanese food. We have such a hard time choosing. Great food at reasonable prices, Hawaii is great. Come join us for great living!

The food looks great, you always seem to find the most interesting dishes to order.
What a beautiful red muumuu you are wearing Gigi – the pale roses give the material the look of damask. Very simple and very stylish
