    Pasta Primavera
    Angela M.

    Food- 5 stars Service- 5 stars Ambiance 3 stars I visited Giovanni Pastrami two days during my staycation in Waikiki and loved it. Right of the bat, the ambiance outside is not my jam. lol you know me- crowds and congestion are not my fav Things unless I'm at a football game. As soon as we arrived, we waited for about 5 minutes to be seated and was offered a high chair or booster seat as soon as we sat down. I ordered the Pasta Primavera that came with a piece of garlic bread and a glass of their Red blend. The Primavera was sooo delish! It was served with anchovies, challots and their house made creamy sauce. It paired soo well with the glass of wine I ordered. The waitress who served us gave me a few extra pieces of Garlic bread because my food order wasn't submitted to include the garlic bread. She was so nice and helpful. I hope to visit this spot again the next time I'm in Waikiki and highly recommend Giovanni Pastrami's!

    I came here years ago when they first opened I remember it being pretty good. Came back a few weeks ago while in the area. We ordered the cauliflower as an appetizer, apologies for forgetting the picture but it was so good! I want to go back to order just that! For my main I got the pastrami sandwich with onion rings and it was delicious, too much for one sitting so I took half of it home. I need more cauliflower!

    The food was good and flavorful. I especially like the stuffed mushroom wrapped in bacon. It was delicious. The service was good too.

    My honey and I wandered in on a leisurely walk through waikiki to catch some play off basketball and were promptly seated at the bar. The portion sizes were good and the food fresh, although the menu was wayyyyy extensive (not sure if that's actually a bad thing, as we're indecisive). That being said, there's something for everyone on the menu, and we'd definitely bring family and friends back for a cold beer and good service. It's super convenient in terms of walking distance form any place in Waikiki, and the crowd was a nice combination of tourists and locals alike.

    We love this place for Gabe's and matches. They always have the stuff my family watches playing. I do not watch any sports lol, I only know this is where we always come for all sporting shows. I do love the food, service, location and vegetarian options. Foods good, prices are fair as well,

    Day 1 here 5/5 Day 2 here 4/5 Service 4/5 Ambiance 4/5 Good day 1 5/5, day 2 3/5 You know it's very decent! Close by our resort we stayed and it was just easy. I guess maybe it was Togo. The chicken tender/fingers made the fries soggy, maybe separate the two items when offering Togo. Pizza was 5/5, fried calamari's 5/5 salads 4/5, Overall 4/5! I also saw a live person playing music the second night here! There's a bar area with also sit down dining, nice place near your resort to eat n get Togo! Side note!! Wyndham Waikiki beach walk guests gets 10% discount! Please make sure you mention if you are staying there.

    King Arthur Supreme, cold beer and wings

    Awesome service, great food and very clean all around. I would recommend this place to anyone that's on the island craving pizza, pasta and wings. Will visit them again on my next trip!

    Horrible Dry Pastrami Sandwich
    Leanne K.

    STAY AWAY - Horrible Service/Food We made early reservations 5:15p and the hostess sat us in the bar. We wanted to sit in the dining room not the bar and she gave us same lame excuse that they were doing a shift change and could not sit in the dining room. The bar smelled like old alcohol drains and have not been cleaned in years. Once our food arrived my pastrami sandwich was super dry and had to flag another server down for some deli mustard. Our other sandwich had stale bread and hardly any turkey that was dry and failed to have avocado that was on the menu. Would never return to this place. I use to go here several years back and it was good, not now it's so horrible! Stay away..... They also had a guest at the bar carrying an infant at the bar which is against the alcohol law in HI.

    We celebrated Mother's Day yesterday at Giovanni Pastrami with a party of 18, and we would highly recommend this place! Our server, Ricky, was amazing -- super friendly, helpful, and attentive. Our food came out quick, fresh, and hot, especially impressive with such a large party. The GM, Laurie, was the sweetest! She gave all of us mama's beautiful roses for Mother's Day, which was such a thoughtful touch. She also gave my mom a few special treats made by the manager/chef Marissa herself... but of course the keiki spotted them right away and had to have some Overall, we had such an amazing first experience there, and we'll definitely be back. Mahalos plenty to the whole team for the hospitality! Also, parking was literally one minute away and super convenient -- especially for Waikiki. The valet uncle was right: "...and won't be your last time here."

    Half for my wife and I, half for the dumpster.

    Ordered the fried cauliflower and a large cheese pizza. The fried cauliflower was delicious, probably the best I've ever had. The pizza tasted like it came from a high school cafeteria or was the last one left under the heat lamp at Costco. It was completely tasteless and rubbery with very little sauce. For some reason the box it came in said Round Table on it. Does Giovanni Pastrami subcontract their pizza to Round Table? The pizza was recommended by a friend. Time to reevaluate that friendship.

    Meatball Sandwich
    Mark S.

    When you first walk in you notice that this is a cool place to hangout, have a beer, cocktail, or a glass of wine and have some bar food. The service was excellent and she was very helpful in helping us navigate the menu. The meatball sandwich was okay, but really needed a bit more seasoning. The fries were really good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The prices were reasonable for the area. Glad we stopped by.
