We were seated right away. I liked that we were against a wall/shelf, so it felt cozy. SP chose prosecco and I chose chardonnay to drink. Here's what we enjoyed eating:
Rosemary focaccia with olive oil/balsamic dipping sauce. Really, really tasty.
Zuppa di Aragosta (lobster bisque with sherry). Really tasty - one of the best lobster bisques I've had.
Insalata Rucola Con Prosciutto (arugula, prosciutto, Ho Farms heirloom tomatoes, parmesan cheese & homemade Italian dressing). Yummy plate of one of our favorite salads.
For SP, Branzino alla Griglia, which I think was a special of the day. I'm not surprised he chose the fish over pasta or pizza, especially because he knew I'd need help with my pasta. But before helping me, he scraped clean his plate, so I guess it was good.
I chose Spaghetti Blue Crab with zucchini and tomato and parmesan. So. Good. I didn't even care that I am terribly messy when I eat spaghetti and usually avoid doing so in public. I just kept my head down and chewed and slurped and tried to contain the whipping, splatting spaghetti (my twirling skills are not very impressive, either, I usually twirl a blob way too big for my mouth).
For dessert, we shared Crema Catalana (lightly frozen orange crème brulee infused with grand marnier). It was super cold crème brulee with lots of orange flavor and a wonderful hard crust (take note, Chart House Waikiki). Yum! Next time we'd each want our own, no sharing.
We also ordered cappuccinos.
We both enjoyed our food at Arancino. Our server was terrific. They had no problems omitting garlic for me. We'd definitely go again.
