“ As always- great food, solid location next to the shopping center and theater. Staff is always kind, and assisted quickly. ”

“ I had read about Mad Bene, I think in the Honolulu magazine, and wanted to give them a try. My cousin wanted to meet up for dinner and I suggested here. Didn't realize it was out in Kapolei, but why not make it an adventure. They were busy, and we had to wait 25 minutes for a table. But little did we know that was only the beginning. My only complaint is the wait time between everything. The drinks took a while, then the apps took a while, but we were glad they came, because our entree came right as we were finishing up. Again, we're lucky the pasta came out and we could work on it because the pizza took a while. Timing is really important, and I'm not sure if there's someone expediting or not. A couple next to us had one entree come out, the husband's, and the wife had to wait a while. That's not good. But what is good is the food! We loved the meatballs and the caprese salad. We also loved the truffle fries! The mushroom pasta was delicious, and it was still delicious two days later when I finished it. The NYC pizza was great! And the MAD Garlic was really good, and we added pepperoni to it since we read people did that. I also liked the innovative egg nog bread pudding. However, it took a while to come out and I expected it to be warm, and it was not. Our server, Aleia? Alisha?, was great! She was friendly and welcoming which makes a difference. We could not fault her on the timing since it was the kitchen. Also, the hosts were friendly too! I would stop by if I was in the area. 3.5, but I bumped it up! Mahalo Mad Bene! ”

“ On Saturday 11/2, we had our rehearsal dinner with a large party of about 30 people here and it was a hit. All of the food was so great and the service was very good. They were attentive to our guests and made sure to clear the tables for dessert in a timely manner. We had Caesar salad, Crispy Potatoes (many people commented how good these were, rigatoni bolognese, malfadine alfredo (the pasta was such a great choice, people also loved this although a few commented it was a bit on the salty side), mad tiramisu, pitchers of sangria, and pizzas: NYC, hot honey (my favorite), carbonara, supreme, margherita, and a specialty one made without soy, dairy, or coconut for my bridesmaid with allergies. We highly recommend coming here, everything was delicious with the alfredo, hot honey pizza, and sangria as the standouts. We are so excited to come back in the future. I wish I took photos of the food! ”

“ Would love to give 5 stars but 3-5 is happy hour and they don't serve full menu. But.... People are cool here. And we'll see how the pizza Okay... waited to post until we sat at full dinner and no disappointment. The bar was awesome. Eulan and Rachael. The old fashion was great. Served with four roses. The mad garlic pizza was awesome. For dinner I orders the baked pasta.. just a ziti. And wife got the standby Alfredo. The ambiance is chill and cool. Can be a date night spot. Pre movie. Or just go out and get drinks. They have a good happy hour. Great spot to try on west side. ”
