On our 4th night in Waikiki we decided to give the kids a break from navigating various local seafoods and go for some pizza and pasta. Little Italy was perfect!

Love this little gem of Italian food, great atmosphere and friendly chef/owner. The bruschetta and pesto are freshly made and taste amazing. The only surprise we came across was wine can only be bought by the bottle and not the glass.

We made a reservation via OpenTable which was accepted and confirmed. We walked to the restaurant and it was closed. We double-checked our reservation and confirmed we had the right place and time. Called and left a msg with the restaurant and have not heard back from them. Maybe the restaurant is no longer in business? Regardless, i would not call this a good or enjoyable experience. It could be just a glitch in technology too, but who knows? Upside, as we had no reservations anywhere, we found a delightful, small kiosk style food vendor nearby and enjoyed a wonderful meal at a very reasonable cost. No reservations required, great food and lots of good hawaiin vibe! Ed

TO be honest, main reason I went there was due to the iconic Ferrari from the original Magnum PI show. But, I love Italian food. I had Chicken Parmigiana , and some Bruschetta. Very good.. I wish they had some real cheese to be shredded on top, vice the pizza powder cheese. I did not know its a BYOB place either. I would have brought something. I will go back. Nice place, very relaxing. No rush to get you out.
