    White wine at the bar
    Michelle L.

    We only stopped in for a glass of wine, but the wood fired pizza oven outside was very impressive. The customers (many of whom we were told are regulars) seemed happy to be eating there. Servers at the bar were cool!

    Floralia offers total vegan experience for pizza, and I enjoyed the restaurant overall. There is outdoor and inside seating. The service was fine. Could have been a bit faster, but nothing out of the ordinary. The food was good. Pricey, but you expect for vegan and being in Honolulu. I did like seeing the oven and how they made the pizza. There was good char. Would recommend for vegans.

    Margherita, Maestro, Brooklyn

    My favorite place ever!! I always order the Maestro (which isn't on the menu) with meatballs and it's incredible. It is on the pricier side but the portions are filling and I always have leftovers. Everything I have tried here tastes delicious including the cannoli's and Caesar salad. For to go orders I recommend calling ahead of time so that you don't have to wait a long for your order. If you decide to eat there it is a really nice outdoor space and picnic bench seating. You can see them baking your pizza which is a nice touch.

    The $14 vegan Caesar salad is that girl.

    When it comes to that Ceasar Salad I have one word "WOAH" so creamy so crunchy so YUMMY and it doesn't hurt my tummy! Woohoo This is a really adorable place with a sort of outdoors upscale yet down to earth vibe they really nail the homey elegance. I came for a dinner with friends a party of three. My friend kept talking about this pizza place she went to a while back called "what it dough" that she couldn't find anymore; she said it was all vegan but was so good and she had started craving it as we were talking about some of our favorite vegan food memories. One day she sent me this place and said I think this is it and said she would know when we got there but doesn't remember the name being Floralia based off reviews I am assuming they made a name change at some point. My friend was very excited to show us the white pizza with the pesto base and additions she enjoyed last time. After trying to ask the waitress to help us find it she quickly recommended a pizza and my friend confirmed it would have the pesto as the base and she insisted it was that pizza. Unfortunately this was not the case and the pizza was the wrong pizza according to my friend (perhaps different chef who knows), the pesto was sprinkled in a few areas on top and the pizza didn't seemed cooked thoroughly in the middle which was the most disappointing part for me so we kind of at the outside. I also tried the tiramisu, it tasted like chocolate cake to me which is my least favorite cake flavor so it wasn't for me. I have since come back many times for the salad, even tried their new crowned Caesar salad (toppings weren't my fav) but I have yet to try another pizza because the first one was pretty disappointing. Looking forward to trying the pistachio cannoli someday soon.

    Tiramisu

    Sometimes vegan food tastes too....vegan. I've had my share of bad vegan pizza but that is not the case for Floralia. Pizza is a hard food to successfully veganize without making it too "vegany" tasting but I so appreciate that there is a place devoted to making high quality unique vegan pizza. We got the paradiso pizza, Caesar salad, and tiramisu. All very good, but not jaw dropping or life changing like I've seen others describe it. Tiramisu was a little too strong (alcohol?) flavor for me. I think it was a special and not on the regular menu. Service was very slow for us, it's the first time I've had to go find the server after not getting a drink order after 20 minutes. I think it was an off night because of a large party behind us. Ambiance is very nice. Setting is lovely and we found parking pretty easily. I would like to try the other options on the menu to see how they are and try a different dessert option.

    Limoncello spritzer
    Robbie M.

    My first vegan pizza. If you didn't know it was vegan you wouldn't know the difference. I started with a limoncello spritzer. It was a good size drink, refreshing and the price was very reasonable. The Cesar salad was huge enough for several people to share. Next time I would ask for the breadcrumbs on the side. They gave the salad a nice crunch but too much for me. The dressing was good. The pizza took awhile. I am amazed that they make all the ingredients. I ordered the Brooklyn because they were out of some ingredients for another pizza I wanted. My favorite topping was the almond milk ricotta. It was only me eating so I had lots of leftovers.

    I'm not a vegan or vegetarian and you don't have to be to enjoy this place. I ate here recently for the first time with some friends who highly endorsed this restaurant. It's in a pretty random area along kamakee street. Easily walkable from South Shore Marketplace if you can't find closer parking. It is decorated very cutely with string lights and fairy lights on the tree which surround their outdoor seating area. They also have indoor seating if you prefer. The brick pizza oven is outside. The caesar salad was great, a little heavy on the dressing but definitely tastes like a normal good caesar salad even though it's vegan! The white pizza with the ricotta was amazing and pro tip would be to add the mushrooms. It was my favorite of the 2 pizzas we ordered. We also tried the Brooklyn which has vegan meatball, tomato sauce, basil and again, the ricotta. Yum! The vegan meat easily disguises itself as real sausage. The ricotta is so good on my walk back to the parking I heavily considered researching if it's possible to buy a similar vegan ricotta just from the store. The crust is also top notch which strongly contributes to the quality of the pizza. Pricing is reasonable and service was great. Overall it's a place with a very chill vibe to enjoy good pizza- whether or not you're vegan.

    Dinner in Honolulu, Hawaii... Searching our Yelp apps for a place that Irene and I both hadn't been to yet is challenging, but possible... haha! Floralia was an excellent choice with an interesting outdoor location. We parked right across the street from the entrance because we arrived before opening time. We got our choice of seats and were able to watch the pizza chef do his thing! I ordered a Marinara pizza with mushrooms and olives. Irene got the Margherita pizza with mushrooms. Both pizzas were simple goodness, served on a tier! Nice! We weren't able to finish, so our thoughtful server offered us takeout boxes. Thank you!

    A cute, fun place with outdoor & indoor seating. You can see them cooking almost everything and the pizza stove too. Good service. This place is vegan. It was mostly full when we arrived so it has a local/visitor following; I was there on vacay. It is a little off the beaten path tho there are a handful of businesses nearby. A fairly short walk from the very far end of the beach. We got the garlic rolls, salad, 2 pizzas, and 1 cannoli dessert. The garlic rolls were a special & they said we think we still have some so they must sell out quick or it is a special. Also got the cannoli so each half was 2 diff flavors. Very nice they allowed us to do that. :)

    Fully Planted oasis... This slightly hidden gem offer a complete plant based menu all tucked amongst the industrial area just right across from Hawai'i Gas so yes parking it the biggest challenge for this part of the area but if you come just before they open not only do you get the choice of seating but parking as well, as we had no problems finding one just steps away. I love the vibe here as it's in the midst of a busy city area yet under the trees and string lights are the setting for some yummy pizzas and more. Upon arrival we check in with the host (is where you can find the specials as well) though it is open seating and are able to choose your seat whether it's under the trees or inside the covered area which is where we chose to seat it's a great view of the pizza oven along with the sun that was about to set is a nice way to wind down your day. One of my favorites is any veggie pizza though it seems like many of the menu items are just a base start versus piling on some loaded toppings so I decided on the classic Margherita and added mushrooms and omg the simplistic flavors it had and how light and I could taste every single ingredient along with the chewy crust this pizza is quite generous at 12" and made a perfect late night snack as I couldn't finish it all but they had a box that fit a half pizza perfectly. Service is nice and friendly as she kept returning to check on us always keeping our waters full and had nice relaxing evening. Thank you!

    Second time back in one week. Corner table full of happiness!

    We didn't want to leave the Shi Tzu at home so scrapped our plans at the skewer place and decided to try Floralia instead. Adding it to my good-life decisions list! The vibe is warm and casual. Because what could be wrong with open-air, patio dining under string lights? Nothing! Not one thing...also, cool 80's rock playlist def spoke to our Gen X spirits. Took us back to our corner table dates way back in the day. But this is not your old school pizza! This is revolutionary pizza. It's pizza that satisfies the grown-up us, the sophisticated palates we've developed over five decades. But it's pizza that would make any kid ask for seconds. (True because we saw kids asking for seconds!) Have the Caesar salad. It's the best I've ever tasted and I've had my share of freshly made, table-side salads tossed by tuxedo-wearing wait help. NO comparison. Floralia has them beat hands down. The Pizetta is also a MUST-try. It was a special that they added to their regular menu and I'm forever grateful. This is also the best pizza my taste buds have ever been treated to--they are still thanking me AND asking me when I'll indulge them again! Perfection on a plate--a combination of savory, sweet, creamy, chewy. It was a mind-altering experience! We also tried the Paradiso and finished off with the pistachio cannoli both were delightful and did not disappoint. Everything was so incredible we came back a week later and tried the white with mushrooms and the pesto. NO complaints and ONLY compliments to the hard-working staff who take great care in creating delicious foods and an engaging environment. Bravo! Bellissima!! Also, the test of a great pizza in my opinion is if you can eat it out of the fridge, straight from the box the next day. And YES, it passed the test. It also heats well, too. So don't be shy and order enough to take home a 'doggie' bag! This place is an oasis of culinary excellence. I almost hesitate sharing this because I want to keep Floralia a secret just for us. But they deserve the five-star review. I don't know how they are making plant-based pizza taste so extraordinary but I'm okay not knowing the secret to their magic as long as they keep doing it!

    Pistachio cannoli
    Sunshine C.

    I had no idea Floralia was a fully plant-based restaurant. And, while the internet says it is not the same thing, I believe Floralia is entirely vegan. Which makes it all the more impressive. I've been wanting to try Floralia for a while. They have a beautiful back-door ambiance, with outdoor and indoor seating. Pretty bobble lights throughout overhanging trees and a brick pizza oven give the restaurant a communal feel. And the food was really impressive. My family has no problems with meat/dairy, but I would come again just for the flavors. The Caesar salad was exceptionally good and creamy. We also tried the focaccia, Margareta pizza and a pistachio cannoli. Overall, the prices are slightly higher than a traditional pizzaria, but we left feeling full and I have a better appreciation for plant-based cuisine. The service was excellent! They also have a full bar and new cocktails. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to try something new, and for those who can't tolerate dairy, Floralia is an amazing substitute.

    Really nice place for a casual date night. It wasn't too crowded for a Wednesday night but the vibes are great. We found street parking infront of the restaurant since it wasn't busy. Not sure if they have a parking lot dedicated for customers. I love how it's an open kitchen and you see them put the pizza in the wood fire oven. Food came out timely and we just enjoyed some wine while waiting. We got pinot grigio and another white wine that our server recommended. We ordered the ceasar salad which was so simple yet so tasty. The balance between the lemon and cheese was perfect. The White pizza added a sausage topping was good for two. The ingredients were evenly distributed and worked well with each other. The dough was so good and chewy, perfectly cooked especially with its crispy bottom. Finished the night off with cannoli with pistachios since they ran out of tiramisu. It was also good to wrap up our taste buds. definitely will come again!

    Dessert first while we waited for our pizza.  Vegan?  Who said this was vegan?  Sooooo good you would never know!

The dish was hearty and satisfying, although my only complaint was that the shrimp still had their tails attached, which made them a little inconvenient to eat. My spouse ordered the lasagna, which arrived covered in a generous layer of melted cheese and Parmesan. It looked rich and hearty, but he found it a bit too gooey, with what he felt was too much red sauce and cheese. The lasagna noodles were also overcooked, taking away from the overall texture. For dessert, I had the Affogato. The creamy vanilla gelato slowly melting beneath a shot of espresso made for a simple but enjoyable finish to the meal. The contrast between the rich coffee and sweet, cold gelato was quite nice. Overall, it was a good experience.

    Most restaurant reviews are corporate fluff, but this place actually gets the fundamentals right :)…read morereal hospitality without the fake, scripted nonsense. The staff here is genuinely easy-going, funny, and attentive without hovering. Massive personal shoutout to Randy and Madison :3 I have a weirdly specific fascination with having tons of fresh mint in my drinks, and instead of treating it like an annoying off-menu hassle, they owned the request and happily kept it coming. That kind of effortless, 10/10 service is rare. Randy and Madison turned a simple dinner into one of the actual highlights of this trip. If you want great food backed by people who actually care about doing their jobs well, come here

    Overall: Good food but not a comfortable environment to linger (details below)…read more Food: Pasta was perfectly cooked, al dente. Very rich and filling. Well-flavored. I enjoyed the pasta. Space: Crowded. We made a reservation so we got an indoor table. The sun was shining on us the entire time and it got uncomfortably hot. The window didn't seem to have a tint and the window shade gave little to no coverage in the spot we were at. It made me not want to make room for dessert. Service: Attentive. I liked the informational experience when the cacio e pepe is cooked in front of you. The only thing that bothered me was I wished one of the workers would wear a headband and wipe his sweat with a towel versus the back of his hands before handling plates and food. Price: Average price for a touristy neighborhood.

    My friends and I came here for dinner because of the Passport collaboration with Kohana Distillery…read more I'm really happy for this collaboration or else I may have never eaten at this wonderful restaurant. Located in China town, you have the normal issues of finding parking. The location is not large and is split into indoor and outdoor seating areas. We got seated right away and the staff was very friendly. The food is an Italian - Asian fusion. We started with the Hokkaido milk rolls and prosciutto san daniele. The bread was good but that black garlic butter made it even better. But for me the prosciutto was the highlight and should not be skipped. Mixed with the pickles in that sesame shell, it was so delicious. For mains we got the gnocchi and capellini. The beef cheek in the gnocchi was so flavorful and soft. And we finished up with the carrot cake. Everything we ate was good. I definitely want to come back again.

    Atmosphere: I really liked the interior of the restaurant I thought that it was very modern while…read morealso feeling homey. It was loud in there but not too distracting, more so like friends gathering together and having a great time. (4/5) Food: Was really excited to try this asian fusion menu as the Dan Mien Vietnam-Atriciana with lap xuong caught my eye but truthfully - it was underwhelming. The Hokkaido milk rolls were also disappointing which was a bummer since everyone seemed to rave about them. They weren't warm at all and didn't seem fresh, which seemed to be the trend for the other dishes as well since they weren't served hot and pretty much room temperature at best. (2/5) Service: This is where I would give it a 0/5 stars if I could. I've never been to a restaurant where customers aren't greeted as soon as they walk in or at least within 5 minutes of walking into the restaurant. We arrived 15mins early to our reservation and upon stepping in immediately noticed no host stand/designated area to check-in (granted the restaurant itself was pretty small inside so understandable) we therefore waited off to the side. Countless waitresses walked by and even the bartenders noticed us waiting off to the side yet we weren't acknowledged. Not even a quick "we'll be right with you or welcome in". After standing there huddled off to the side we decided to maybe walk further into the restaurant to see if we had to check-in somewhere else and ran into someone that seemed to be the host. She asked if she could help us and we said we hadn't been checked-in yet for our reservation. After getting our info she quickly told us to go back to the front of the restaurant. No indication of how much longer we had to wait, no okay you're all checked-in we'll get your table set up now...just "okay go back and wait in the front". Over the next 10 minutes of waiting in the front of the restaurant we were met with whispers and stares from the employees giving us the feeling of being the new student on the first day of school which left us uncomfortable to the point where we decided to wait outside. Eventually she took us to our table but you could tell she was standoffish the whole time as if we had done something wrong. Our waiter was nice but not that personable and throughout the meal we were probably checked on once or twice at most. Overall: A restaurant is only as good as its service. To me, great food brings customers in but great service brings them back and unfortunately I will not be back.

We ordered the Repetti pizza and fettuccine with diavolo sauce and meatballs. We also had the Caesar salad and focaccia bread with marinara sauce. Our server was Grace. Grace was so friendly and knowledgeable and professional. In addition to the food, Grace made the dining experience exceptional. We sat outside and even though it was a very hot day, the temperature was very comfortable under the roofed area. The Pinot Grigio was excellent! Our meal was brought out in a timely manner and Grace was an attentive server. The Caesar dressing is perfection! The diavolo sauce was delicious and just-right spicy. We loved the meatballs and the fettuccine was cooked perfectly. The pizza!!!!! Wow. Just the right amount of crisp in the crust and the toppings were a delicious combination of flavors. The focaccia with marinara could have been a meal for me. The bread was hot and crispy while also being soft and savory. I couldn't get enough of the marinara. We had a lot of leftovers and ate some for dinner and still have more for tomorrow. Repetti's will be a new place for us to dine and bring friends as often as possible. We were so impressed and could not have wanted any of the experience to be different. Fantastic in every way!

    We had a family dinner--for eight--at Mangiamo by 604. I was excited to have my father and brother…read moreexperience this establishment, as I had a great experience two years ago. My father and brother are both military veterans and enjoyed the fact that this venue was situated at a golf course they patronized before. We all ordered drinks--I ordered a bottle of wine, taking advantage of the Half-off Wine Wednesdays; some tried the alcohol specials and others simply elected to have soda. I ordered a few appetizers for the table and those went quickly: calamari, bruschetta, and artichoke dip. Yum! Main entrees followed and everyone seemed to enjoy their selections. We ordered dessert and were disappointed that they ran out of creme brulee...my father ordered the cheesecake and thoroughly enjoyed it. My only reason for not giving five stars has to do with the outdoor seating. I wish the chairs were more comfortable, as we sat there for awhile, waiting for our server to take our large group order along with waiting for food to come out. There is adequate parking and the restrooms are clean and accessible. An elevator is located in the lobby for those who are not able to easily climb the flight of stairs to the venue. I wish the signage was better, as my 74 year old father took the outside steps, as he thought that was the entrance, per signage downstairs.

    I came maybe two or times in the past. The last time was the other year. I was bummed and felt…read moresorry for those who need to use the elevator to the restaurant and it wasn't working. I don't know how the elderly lady with walker was able to get up the stairs or they weren't able to dine there. I didn't mind this place. It's not like Assaggio, but more like Olive Garden. Food was okay but the view and ambience were nice, especially at Christmas at Night! It's a huge restaurant with seating for parties with a lot of free parking shared with the golfers at the golf course. Indoor and outdoor seating. The last time, my friends weren't too impressed, but we did try variety of dishes from pizza, salad, pasta and appetizers. They have some specials from time to time. So sad that tomorrow is their last day of business according to my friend. Sad to see many restaurants are closing soon.
