Assaggio, a popular Italian restaurant in Kailua went up in flames early Monday morning. Honolulu Fire Department responded to a call shortly before 1:30 AM and sent out 22 firefighters. It was fully extinguished in less than two hours. “I’m still in shock. This restaurant has been here for 30 years and I know it means a lot to people,” said Jay Nakamura, manager at Assaggio. Nakamura believes the fire was not caused by any kitchen appliances. He said employees turned all appliances off and he did a run-through before closing that night. National Fire Prevention Week kicked off this week and officials said this incident is a reminder to double check all appliances – especially in the kitchen.
