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.

    I've gone there twice and everytime it's amazing. Each appetizer and entrée is an experience. Chef Bau is culinary genius, I can't recommend his restaurant enough. Tony our server was amazing, the food came out perfectly timed, the wine pairings were perfect. The dining area is cozy and relaxing reminiscent of the French quarter of New Orleans. Dining here is an experience as much as getting a delightful meal. I plan on going back again to try more new items on the menu as well as to see what the specials are. Everyone at my table ended up sharing our entrees and each one was a symphony of flavors. Do not pass up the opportunity to eat at this restaurant. It is without a doubt the best restaurant I've eaten at on oahu in the last three years. In a word the restaurant is elite, it's a stand out on an island filled with large corporate chain restaurants and a breath of fresh air from drab food.

    The food was amazing and our server was equally wonderful! I would definitely recommend going with a group, trying everything and sharing. You can’t go wrong with any dish!

    We had a great timing dining at Giovedi. The food and the service were both excellent and we’re looking forward to going back to try more of the menu. The flavors are a mix of French, Italian, Japanese, and Chinese influence. The portion sizes are reasonable so you can try many things on the menu. The non alcoholic Skyliner drink was also great!

    The latest review before our visit said the portion is too small but in fact they were just right (too my wife it was little too much but I cover her) Even the steak was not tiny like one review said. It was pretty reasonably priced for the quality. The reason for the 4 star is even though we requested the quieter table we were seated right next to a round table of 8 or 9 girls who were screaming time to time.

    Didn’t appreciate not being seated until all three guests arrived. Two of our three arrived first and we were asked to sit in a cramped bar area. No good. Food portions size to cost was just plain silly. Ordered the Denver steak ($48) and literally had to put on reading glasses to know what was being served. So little steak! Spaghetti ($26) was the same issue - the serving was, in reality, a third of an actual serving. The gnocchi was good, but again, the size of the portion relative to price ($36) was disappointing. We ordered 7 or 8 dishes between three diners and went home hungry with a $400 bill. (I literally almost laughed out loud when we were asked by the server (who was very nice) whether we were too stuffed for desert). I will not be in any rush to return. For the price, there are far better dining options in Honolulu.

    The food and ambiance were wonderful and the service was excellent. The drinks were delicious, as well. I would eat there again and highly recommend it.
