About the restaurant
Giovedi, helmed by Chef Bao Tran, offers a seamless fusion of Italian culinary technique and pan-Asian flavors. The lively atmosphere of our dining room inside infuses energy into every meal, while the charming patio offers a tranquil escape in the heart of Chinatown, Honolulu. Indulge in our Prosciutto San Daniele, featuring sliced prosciutto paired with a sesame donut—a playful nod to both gnocco fritto and bánh tiêu—served with giardiniera pickles. This creative fusion showcases how our cuisine harmoniously combines familiar flavors, blending tradition with originality. At Giovedi, we provide more than just a meal—it’s an experience. With a welcoming ambiance, thoughtful service, and creative cocktails, we ensure every guest feels like part of our Thursday night dinners in our home that inspired it all.

Another amazing dinner at Margotto Hawaii. Food, wine and service were exceptional. One of best meals ever with Caviar, Truffles, Foie Gras, Pastas and fine French wines. This is my favorite restaurant in Hawaii and it seems like the food just gets better and better each time I visit.

About the restaurant
Sorry, we will not accept BYOB.
Inspired by authentic Sicilian recipes from the kitchens of Southern Italy's seaside town of Taormina, Chef Hiroyuki Mimura pairs fresh pastas with the highest quality seafoods and meats. Unspoiled by heavy sauces, Sicilian-style pastas are dressed in pure, extra virgin olive oil. Fresh vegetables, lightly grilled fresh local fish, and lamb seasoned with herbs offer diners a healthy range of options. Featured dishes include fresh Fettucine Carbonara finished with tableside Truffle service, grilled Lamb Chops "Luca pecorini" and Veal "Siciliana." Taormina's specialty dish is Uni Pasta (Sea Urchin), a delicacy enjoyed in Sicily, Italy. Italian Lavazza espressos compliment selections of house made desserts (Dolci).
