I visited Vein at Kakaako last month for lunch and loved the Classic Napolitana Pasta. Told my Wife about it and she went for dinner with her Mom while I was on a business trip. She ordered the Caccio E Peppe Pasta and loved it. She made it a point to return to Vein when my Daughter was back in town. Well, she is back so we went for dinner along with her friend. Started by ordering all four appetizers for the table. First up was the Trio of Bruchetta ($12). The star of this trio was the Roasted Mushroom Medley with Truffle. Delicious mushrooms. The Grilled Spanish Tako with Warabi Chimichurri Sauce ($24.50) was expensive for sure but we loved the flavors. The Tako was cooked perfectly. The Clams Pomodoro ($15) looked great but the broth was a bit bland and did not have that taste that makes you want to lap up every drop with bread. The Bone Marrow with Uni Butter ($26) was again expensive for an appetizer but the rich, deep flavor was a hit with everyone at the table. For entree's, I went for the Classic Napolitana again ($19.50). Like my previous visit, the Pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. My Wife and Daughter both had the Caccio E Peppe ($17.50) which they both said is the best and closest to what we enjoyed in Italy. Our friend enjoyed the Rib Eye Florentina ($36) which was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Service was excellent and they are dog friendly so we brought our dog. Got to say I really like this place. Actually would not mind eating the Pasta again today.
