Best WLM Reviews
(Last visited 12/9/2022.) On vacation in Hawaii while still exploring downtown Waikiki, we decided to check out Appetito Craft Pizza & Wine Bar! Yelp gave this place great reviews so we checked it out!
Atmosphere/Appearance: This place is pretty chill and laid back. It's a split-level restaurant so the bar area is the lower level and the main dining room is elevated toward the back. The lights are low and dimly lit, the walls are like neat wooden panels and the floors are a smooth concrete. I'm assuming for humidity purposes, but it didn't take anything away from the aura.
Service: Carly took care of us and she was really sweet. She was patient and we had everything that we needed.
Food: We started off with the Sun Kissed cocktail. It was pretty weak to be honest and was like, warm even though it had ice in it. That means it wasn't shake up very well or was rushed to be put together. Our first appetizer were the Grilled Shishito Peppers. They were AMAZING and simply the best I've ever had. They were garlicky, savory and had a decent cheese balance. For our entree we went with the Italian Salami pizza (Italian salami, mozzarella and, cremini mushrooms and basil all on their house-made tomato sauce). It was good, not $22.00 good, but good. Saltiness of the salami took the place of the lack of cheese that was on it, but solid. Small portion and was left hungry.
Value: Menu prices are wrong. Limoncello was listed at $14.00, but rang up at $15.00. We didn’t bother with confrontation because they were closing at 9:30pm. I already mentioned the price of the pizza. This place was cool, but I may go elsewhere next time. There's just so much to see in Hawaii that I can't double-back on a restaurant! Lol. Check this place out if you're in the area.
Get the LASAGNA and AFFOGATO!!
Hands down the two best dishes we had anywhere in America.
The pizza was good too. Thin crust with lots of flavor
We ordered the portobello fries, kale salad, Caesar salad, lobster mac and cheese, and Alfredo. The portobello fries were firm, not soggy, and we both loved them. The salads were delicious, with flavorful dressings. If you prefer a lighter amount of dressing, we recommend ordering it on the side. The lobster mac and cheese was a surprise—we didn’t expect the lobster to be served in the shell on top of the macaroni and cheese. The Alfredo was delicious and perfectly al dente.
Darrel, our server, was friendly and very helpful with his recommendations. Despite the restaurant being busy, the service was fantastic, and we really enjoyed our dinner. We highly recommend dining here.
Tasty food but smaller portion sizes. I ordered a $28 pasta and as tasty as it was, I was quite disappointed in the size of the main for the price and was hungry still after the meal. In other Italians in the US we had been brought bread but not in this location. They did make a nice kind gesture for us on a special occasion which is why we still continued to tip and the portion size is not the waiter/waitresses fault however regardless of this for other people visiting - the value for money and portion size was not there at all. Avoid if you are hungry.
I recently dined at Appetito Craft Pizza & Wine Bar and had a great experience overall! We started off with the gnocchi appetizer and the portobello fries. The portobello fries were absolutely delicious—crispy, flavorful, and a perfect way to kick off the meal! Next, we had the lobster mac & cheese, which was full of flavor and a real highlight of the evening. I loved every bite. We also tried a few of their pizzas, but they weren’t my favorite compared to the other dishes.
One of the best parts of the evening was the service. Our waitress was super friendly and very helpful, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. I also recommend stopping by for their happy hour—it’s a great way to enjoy some of their offerings at a great value!
All in all, a lovely spot with some standout dishes. I’d definitely go back for the mac & cheese and portobello fries!
Refined woodfire pizza that you can see being made while you dine. Be prepared for the price, each one pictured is over 22$. They offer gluten free crust for an extra 6$. Their happy hour is from 5 to 7. They have mango beer that is excellent. Service was fast for a busy Wednesday night.
Great food and service, pizzas were perfect - we had a margarita and a quatro formagi. Loved the Bolognese With Pappardelle. Will come again. Didn’t need the dessert but affogato was very nice!
Enjoyable dining experience with good food and attentive service. The wood fired pizza was delicious, and the crab pasta was good, but the pasta was a bit overcooked. The portions are a bit small for the price.
