Angelo Pietro

Japanese Pasta - Weird or Delicious?!

Angelo Pietro has been a household name for some time. They are known for their delicious pastas with a Japanese twist. Angelo Pietro is a famous restaurant chain from Japan and they are also known for their salad dressings. For a long time, they were located near Ala Moana on Kapiolani Boulevard, but recently they have moved to the heart of Kaimuki on 12th ave. The new location is a lot smaller than the original location, but it offers a more "home-y" dining experience. Even though the menu was very straight forward -- Michelle, Emily, and I (Jadyne) had a difficult time deciding on what to get. Emily decided on the Pork and Eryngii Spicy Cream Sauce and Michelle got the Shrimp & Shiitake Mushroom, while I decided on Eggplant and Spicy Ground Beef pasta. The presentation of the dishes were all very neat and nice. We all noticed the large "spaghetti" forks which eased the process of twirling the noodles around our forks. I added some chili flakes to my already slightly spicy pasta, and it was very delicious! Michelle and Emily also really enjoyed their dishes, but Emily said that the spicy cream sauce was a little too spicy for her. Overall, our experience at Angelo Pietro was a good one and we would definitely return!
