“ What an amazing night. The food was spectacular, esp the lamb shank. The appies were amazing. Tascia was a superb server. Great ambiance and wonderful experience. We will be back! I wish we had remembered to take pics of the food. Large portions and very tasty! ”

“ Best Italian restaurant ever! So authentic and true! Loved to meet Salvatore, the owner, so passionate about his restaurant. Best lasagna and tiramisu ever!!! Better than in Italy! thank you so much! Highly recommended ”

“ If you’re looking for good quality Italian cuisine, this is your place. Wine and dessert (tiramisu) are delicious and the costumer is the best!!! I recommend this place! Definitely coming back ”

“ We were looking for good Italian food and a great atmosphere. Although it is easy to miss from the street, it is the perfect place for great food, exceptional and personalized service and relaxing quiet atmosphere. The bruschetta came with four pieces but the server offered to give us 5 pieces, one for each of us instead of having us order another entire order, offering exceptional hospitality. We wanted to try several things so we ordered salad, margarita pizza, pesto pasta, lasagna and shared. Every bite was amazing. The perfect place for a great meal and a bottle wine to enjoy in the sitting areas throughout the restaurant. This is truly a hidden gem. Don't miss it! ”

“ (Last visited December 6, 2022.) Vacationing in Hawaii for a couple of weeks so we're just exploring downtown Waikiki for a little bit, but it's time to eat! So we pulled out our trusty Yelp app to see what's around! We landed on Il Tappo since we like pizza! Let's see how it went! Atmosphere/Appearance: So the entrance to this place is like, through a hotel or something like that. The details are a little hazy, but what I DO REMEMBER is the beautiful fountain right out front and the market looking theme that was actually one of the bars! It was so cool and elegant. Once sat upstairs the views out into the city were beautiful. The restaurant wasn't too loud and felt quite intimate, like a great place for a date. Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but we had no problems whatsoever. I do remember the bartender being super friendly and approachable when we first walked in though. Food: We kept dinner light this evening and tried their Isalata Di Pollo which is a salad containing rucola, cherry tomatoes, olives, roasted chicken & shaved Parmigiano Reggiano. It was crisp, fresh, simple and had an excellent mix of ingredients. Not too over the top at all. We also went for the Margherita Pizza which contains tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella & pesto. Delightfully simple. The pesto was a gentle drizzle as to not overshadow the rich flavors of the sauce and cheese. The crust was light and fluffy with a good crunch around the edges. Value: Our salad was 24.00 and pizza was 23.00. It's Hawaii, it's downtown, it is what it is. Lol. Bring your wallet, you're on vacation right? Unless you live here... then you probably are a baller anyway. I really enjoyed this spot. It was chill, felt tucked away while being in a downtown city. Check it out if you're in the area. ”

“ Amazing Italian hidden gem above the hustle and bustle of the Lewers Street shops. Beautiful atmosphere & tasty food choices. The bruschetta and caprese appetizers did not disappoint!! We shared pizza and lasagna, which was definitely on point and filling. The server was very attentive to our needs and answered all our questions. Must visit!!! ”

“ Everything was amazing! From the service to the food! Being in a prime location we were even able to people watch and have a good laugh. Our server Tais was amazing and timely with checking on us and the manager even came to compliment us. It’s so important that we uplift one another. Me and my best friend will be returning! ”

“ Without a doubt, this is one of the BEST restaurants in Honolulu. The true highlight, however, is the warmth and hospitality from the owner, Sal, Soo Yung, and the entire staff. Every time we visit, we're greeted like family, making each dining experience feel truly special. The food and drinks are consistently outstanding, offering a genuine taste of Italy. If you're looking for authentic Italian cuisine paired with impeccable service, this is the place to be. I can't recommend it enough—1000000/10! ”
