    This place was awesome! As a local we’re always looking for good service and great food and this place had both! The sandwiches were bomb and the service was so attentive. There was even live music playing. They quickly checked our negative Covid test and sat us. Rating it 4 stars because of the prices… For 2 adults and 1 child we paid $70 + $20 tip. Well worth it though, we had a blast!

    It was our first time experience there. The staff was friendly and helpful with navigating the menu options and to customise order to satisfy our needs. Food was great. Location is nice along Waikiki beach walk area. Restaurant is big from inside , totally different if you look at it from outside. If you stay at nearby hotel, special discounts are added while paying at the end.

    Very good and quick service. The food was quite good as well, providing just enough in portion size to fill, but not bloat. But know that this is more of a sports bar than an Italian restaurant. On game days, it can be very loud, and even when there isn't one on, a band is playing.

    Service and atmosphere was great. Had reservations but got seated early, live band, plenty of TVs. However food was not good. Mediem well Cheese burger came without Cheese. They took it back and slapped a cold piece of cheese on it. AND as u can tell, not anywhere near medium well but didn't want to send the food back twice. Just not good.

    If you like your pastrami very fatty, then this is a place for you. I do not. I would’ve expected a place with pastrami in their name to have a better quality of meat. Also, bathrooms are gross. I’d give them another chance but I’d would definitely order something else. Only good thing is they are located in a very convenient location.

    MEAN GIRLS and MEDIOCRE DINNER Girls at the front door are rude and need supervision. Food was inedible. Overall experience: F When my father and I arrived for dinner we spoke to the Hostess who was initially very nice. The wait was too long for a table, so the Hostess referred us to the cashier, Jenna, to take our to-go order. Jenna paid very little attention to what I was saying and openly expressed the inconvenience we were putting her at when we asked for a menu to figure out what we wanted. Then Jenna started passing notes on a sticky pad back and forth with the Hostess while giggling and looking at us. I felt like I was in a high school movie. While I was ordering, I had to keep repeating myself because Jenna was looking everywhere but at us. Afterward, we were told to wait outside. Our order was ready very quickly (a little too quickly we later realized) so I was ready to forgive the rude behavior of the front door staff until my father asked for salt. Jenna shoved the food at us and told us they didn't have any; which we found hard to believe at a restaurant of that size. We were very disappointed when we got back to the hotel and saw our food. The spaghetti had very little sauce on it (which is why all you see is plain noodles with some cheese on top) and the meatballs were dry. The fettuccine alfredo noodles were passable but the chicken was quite small and also dry. Btw you pay an extra ~$7 for the meatballs or chicken! At this point, we couldn't shake the belief that this was an intentional screw you for some imagined slight. We didn't eat more than 1/4 of each plate and ended up throwing the rest away. This was not worth the $50 we paid. I highly recommend you go to Taormina Sicilian Cuisine or Yard House if you want better food with service-oriented staff. Yard House has a very diverse menu with great Happy Hour specials. We got a cocktail, chicken strips, pizza, and queso plate for $36 (including tip)!

    The food was super delicious. The drinks were the same. The ambience was uplifting and fun. There was live music. Games were playing on the television. There was an eclectic group of people there. I highly recommend. I will be back.

    Took about a 20 minute wait to be seated. From the outside you don't realize how big the restaurant is until you actually walk in to be seated. Very lively inside. Our waitress was very nice and also on top of things. There's a bar area inside and while we waiting for our check a musician was setting up to start playing live, kinda disappointed I wasn't able to hear some live music but anyways on a solid note the food was good and my overall experience was pretty good

    Save your time and money, go anywhere else. The food was old and stale. Service was ok. Music was not very good to say it nicely. Overall, I would not recommend it unless you're extremely hungry and willing to die from poisoning but not from hunger. Not impressed at all. 3 star service, 1.5 star food.

    The service is spot on. The food is Delicious . Love the Live music. Had to try the Reuben. It was very good. My wife ordered the personal size Maui Zaui & salad. Both are tasty. We asked to sit at the bar👌. The Bartender is both informative and helpful when trying to decide what to order. This us a walk up restaurant as parking in Waikiki is at a premium, plus difficult to find. There is usually a waiting line. They open at 4:30 pm. Try to leave room for the Brownie dessert, it's the Best i have ever bought. Big enough to share . The bar drinks are very good according to my wife

    My experience is absolutely a management failure. For 1, I was asked was my nachos appetizers burned before the server even placed them on the table. 2nd, our entrees came out before the appetizers. Lastly which is why I know this place is poorly managed, not once did I even see a manager during my entire experience. Jennifer I believe is a good employee that is most likely suffering from a poorly managed environment.

    Don't be fooled by this place. I have been wanting to try this place, and today, I finally did. What a disappointment. I can't comment on the service or atmosphere because I ordered out. I thought this was a local restaurant serving their own pizza and specialties. When it is nothing more than RoundTable pizza. I thought by the name "Giovanni Pastrami" that I wasn't ordering garbage corporate franchise food. Nope, that's what they sell under a different name. That would be like ordering from Appetito and getting a Domino's pizza sent to your house. I won't even come in to try anything else now. The pastrami sandwiches are probably from an ABC store and pasta from Olive Garden.

    Ordered online. They said pickup at 658. Order actually picked up 716. The woman working the take out counter told me to sit outside and she will call me when my order was ready. As I was watching around 710, 2 take out orders were brought out and went into a warmer bag in between the 2 podiums. I had to approach the front of the house hostess to inquire if my order was ready. Sure enough it was my order in the bag. The take out counter cashier needs to pay better attention. Note when you purchase online, you need to sign a receipt with "additional tip" on it... interesting... also there is a $1.00 additional charge for ordering thru their website. This is a Wednesday night. The restaurant had plenty of open tables while I was waiting... so not sure why it took so long to prep my order. OK so on with the food: Corned Beef Slider $18 - you get 4 sliders. Pretty good. Tender and not as fatty as I thought. Good flavor, with a dab Thousand Island Dressing and slice of swiss cheese I think. Bacon/Lettuce/Avocado/Tomato (BLAT) $17 - really tasty and refreshing on a hot summer night. Its a light meal but with the side dish it was just perfect. The avocado and bacon combo is really good. BBQ Kalua Pig Sliders $21 - you get 4 sliders in an order... perfect for sharing. The Kalua Pork is smoky and totally full of flavor. The bun is soft. Food Overall: 4 out of 5 stars Service: 2 out of 5 stars

    Went for lunch during the middle of the week. The timing was very appropriate. No wait and able to try multiple dishes. Host was very nice , polite, and even checked up on us, while our waitresses was tending to other tables. Small portion pizza was still a good size paired with a pasta. Haupia bread pudding is a must!

    New visitor to Honolulu, I wanted to try a 'Hawaiian' pizza in location, (I know it's not invented etc in Hawaii). The pizza was perfect, thin crisp base with balanced topping, chilli flake shaker on counter gave it a pep. I chose the smallest size. Staff were great, beer was great, I saw a volleyball match on big screen, which was great as it's hard to find.

    Went in was greeted and seated right away. The only thing was that it took our food assistant (Hannah) a little bit longer to get around to our table. I'm going to say they are/ were short staffed. They had a live performer who really had the customers engaged and joining in. They also had some sports games on for those who didn't want to watch the performer. When we were able to place our order the meals came out fairly fast. But not all quick meals are good meals. The cheeseburger sliders had a lot of pepper and the coleslaw was overpowered with vinegar, more liquid than coleslaw. The rice was nice, very colorful as well as good flavors. Could have put a little more pastrami in there but 🤷🏾‍♀️. They give you a nice portion of eggs on top of your rice as well but that'soptional. I also ordered a mango margarita (meh). I tasted no mango flavor at all. I don't want to make excuses but again I'm going to say it was in need of more employees so that could have been the reason. @according2teau 👽🦄

    Reasonably good food at fair prices (extra 10% discount if you are staying in the Hilton nearby). Very large collection of classic American cruise items (including breakfast ones), few Hawaiian and a nice sports bar. The pizzas were pretty good and had a nice soft yet crisp crust (King Arthur was delicious), the pasta and wings were good, and loco Moco was delicious although the pattie was a bit dry. Would recommend.

    Good place to start the NFL football season. Everyone had the same idea. Crew did really well welcoming everyone, keeping tables and parties socially distant, serviced and happy. They got slammed, as places that can handle the start of the season often do, but they settled in quickly and did pretty well. Breakfast was straight forward and quick. Will run you about $16 pee person for starch, Breakfast meat, 3 eggs. The $5 add on for a short stack was a good deal. Good job. Will probably hit them up again next week. Very busy early as they are one of the very few showing games. Oh, and the Round Table Pizza still rocks. Sorry, was excited about the game so forgot to take pics of breakfast and the menus. ;)

    Food was good. Live music was a bit loud and not interpreted well. The song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" could have been sung better in a soothing way like Izz. Servers were busy and looks tired so patience can be running thin. It was good we got a table after 20 minutes of wait.

    First time here. Recommended by a friend. The food is so good! Unfortunately, our server wasn't very good, but his coworkers were very nice and helped out. We started with pastrami fried rice, which was great. I had BBQ pork sandwich with sweet potato fries. The fries were the best I've ever had. The sandwich was very good the next day! (I was too full from the other food) We also had a Margarita pizza, which was really tasty. The crust and sauce are excellent. My friend had the pastrami sandwich and it was piled with meet. Overall, every was delicious and I recommend this place to anyone.

    One of the Best pizzas in the island !!! If you're in town you have to make a stop by Giovanni pastrami.. great food _ pizza has a new York blend that will leave you asking for me ✌️

    We loved it! Got right in and were seated. We each ordered the triple play, the only complaint was that it was room temperature and not hot, and I ordered a side of the coconut rum sauce for my pancakes and it was refrigerator cold, I think had the sauce alone been heated it would have made it a lot better. Over all great flavors, nice service, will be back!

    Aight maybe it’s because it’s overcrowded but my experience here I think could’ve been much better. Food was ok pastrami fries were for sure from a frozen pack of fries from a Safeway or any store like so. literally made how anyone would make at home. Just add meat and cheese. The picture explains it all. The cheese burger was as expected after receiving the fries. Very bland and plain. May seem harsh but I didn’t even bother to take shots of the other dishes we ordered. If you’re gonna have a restaurant. I feel you should at the very least put some real effort the presentation and overall taste. That’s it for this review. I give every spot at-least 2 shots. Hopefully when I come back to this location I’ll be able to present you all with a much better rating and review.
