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.

What came from a casual giovedi (Thursday) dinner birthed an Asian-influenced Italian restaurant. Refreshing flavors and the much appreciated kick in their spicier dishes. Worth adding this to my restaurant rotation.

The food was amazing with the most unique and interesting flavor combinations. Our party of 4 ordered 8 plates to share-some lighter plates and some entrees. The veal, char sui pork chop and mushroom donburi were excellent. The Frito misto is served with a lime aioli and is to die for. Cocktails were interesting and delicious and we saved a bit of space to share both desserts. Yum! Service was excellent- perfectly attentive, warm and friendly without being intrusive. Fast becoming a fave restaurant for us!

This was a great surprise. My partner picked this place on a whim and it was well worth it. we noticed that the owner was extremally active and on to it. My advice is come for the food, stay for the ambiance, and take your time.

Food and drinks were good. My wife and I enjoyed it.Service was phenomenal. Just struggling to recommend it for the price point. After tip, just a few dollars shy of $200 for two. I've spent less at Roy's for comparable food/drinks. We recognize the Chinatown surplus, but even then.
