Had a reservation at 7, only to find out that it wasn't ready. went to the bar, and the bartender is practically yelling at me since i can't decide what to drink! finally got a table, and this place has no music, until i mentioned it to the waiter. food took forever, had lamb, small amounts of meat lots of fat. ordered pinot noir-hang time, nice but took forever, were they short staffed? the place looks cool and old school, but the service and management will make me never visit again or recommend to anyone. less

Wel, with the exception of the large chunk of the menu that was dedicated to seafood of one type or another (can't complain too much, asfter all I'm on an island!), I was very impressed with what I got there. This should be a restaurant for couples. The decor and atmosphere is tasteful and elegant, while having eenough ambience to relax the guest, without lulling them into thinking that the surroundings are gaudy or pretentious. The handmade pasta is a nice touch. I had pasta primavera with scaloppini, and they were both heavenly. When I go back to Hawai'i, I WILL visit here again. less

I have to disagree with the majority of the previous reviews of this restaurant. I've only eaten here once (I've only been to Hawaii once) and I found the food to be excellent. One reviewer was bothered by all the attention of the wait staff. I think they treat every customer like they are royalty and I think it's great. Why not be treated like a King or Queen once in your life? Others have complained that it's too dark, that's called atmosphere, it's great, every restaurant should have some, especially on those very special romantic nights with your loved one at your side. I found no trouble reading the menu, the waiter turned up the table lighting for us to do so. Others have complained that the restaurant is overpriced or too expensive. Wake up an smell the coffee, your in Hawaii where breakfast for two at MacDonald's could cost you $20.00. If you want inexpensive then don't go to Hawaii where EVERYTHING except pineapple is shipped in. less

Have eaten at Matteo's twice, and on both occasions found it overpriced and humorously pretentious. Prices are based on the over-blown decor, not the quality of the food. Sevice was fine on my first visit, but only so-so on the second. I don't intend to try Matteo's a third time. less
