Viaggio - Honolulu

However, the food left something to be desired. We came here to try something new nearby, particularly the gnocchi, but they were out of that dish. My wife ended up ordering the Pappardelle De Carbonara instead, but she was a bit disappointed with the heavy application of white cream sauce. In hindsight, she probably should have requested it with olive oil and garlic, which is our fault for not asking. As for me, I haven’t had Osso Bucco in years and was eager to try it. It had a great flavor with a hint of curry. However, I remember Osso Bucco being tender enough to fall off the bone, easily cut with a fork. This time, I found myself needing a knife to cut the meat from the bone and separate the pieces. Perhaps this is just a different preparation, but it wasn't quite what I expected. Overall, we appreciate the wonderful staff who were attentive to us throughout the meal. Thank you! Aloha, Lek Cara.

This is my second visit to Viaggio, and I want to focus on my experience with the reservation made through OpenTable. I booked my table two months in advance, but when I arrived for dinner, Viaggio didn't have my reservation in their system. I even called the restaurant a few days before my visit to confirm. Although it was an incredibly busy night, I have to commend the host for managing to seat us. However, I left feeling discouraged about returning if this issue isn't addressed. The service at Viaggio was very slow—understandably, given the crowd—and the kitchen even ran out of one of the dishes my guest ordered, which happened to be one of their most popular items. Moving forward, I recommend that they consider hiring more staff and ensuring they have enough food available based on the number of reservations. Overall, I would consider visiting Viaggio again due to its convenience and location.

If you grew up on the East Coast, you might not think of this as Italian food. The atmosphere and service were outstanding, but the food didn't quite meet expectations.

Everything was at the point in this facility. I recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants an intimate 5-star experience. The food was amazing and I definitely go back to taste the different dishes.

Great food. Awesome service. Would definitely come back. I highly recommend Viaggio.
