Japanese-Italian pasta, quick and casual, good for takeout. There is some seating indoors. Outdoor seating is on the sidewalk facing the parking lot and gets full sun by 12 noon. Order off the wafu ("Japanese style" fusion cuisine) menu for the most flavorful dishes. If you love natto, try the natto carbonara (and if you don't like natto, or don't know what natto is, skip it). Check out the adjoining bakery for Japanese-French pastries and breads! read more

Mio Pastalogy - Dashi Tomato spaghetti off the Wafu Pasta menu, before pouring the sauce over it. - Italian Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

Researching for something to eat for dinner and came across this place on Yelp! I haven't even heard of it but it looked so enticing. So enticing, that I did a phone order! Ended up ordering three pastas and some bread. In reading about this place, it's homemade pasta and bread so i couldn't pass up on the bread! I ended up trying the Bolognese eggplant which came with Pomo sauce. Boy was it good! Not only the noodles were good but the eggplant was yummy! It went so well together. I really loved the take out containers. The sauce and noodles are separated out so when you get home, you can mix it together! So smart! My dad and husband created their own pasta. They were more creative than I, as I went with one of the signature pastas. Hehe I also recommend trying their bread! Not only was the bread good, but the garlic herb butter is Ono! I can't wait to go back again. Parking is conveniently located right outside, in their parking lot. Easy to phone order and pickup. read more

FRESH pasta has probably come across my plate under 20 times in my life. I loved the idea of customizable bowls, so I picked the Papardelle, bolognese sauce, Arabiki sausage, poached egg and mushrooms. I thought it was very filling, and what was even better, they do 20% off pasta bowls from 12-2 right now. It was delicious, the sauce was a little saltier than I think it needed to be..but I love salt so it was fine for me. Having tables outside was nice, it's a little more difficult to find lunchtime spots in the immediate area with seating right now. I will definitely be back, the breads and packaged stuff pasta/salads to go looked great. read more

I like the concept and fresh pasta of Mio Pastaology but it's a little expensive for the portion size. Tip: get the extra order for $2 or whatever it is. Ordering is easy enough; pick your pasta, sauce and whatever topping. They have their popular combos listed as well. As Brandon S. wrote below, I agree that the pasta does stick together, especially the thicker varieties. The cream sauce pasta was very very good. I enjoyed it a lot more than my mentaiko one so I mixed a few spoonfuls of the cream to mines and it was winnahs!! I had ordered broccoli to go with my pasta but it was forgotten. We called when we found out and they took our phone number to let a manager take care of it but we never received a call back. It was only $1.50 so we didn't bother to continue to inquire but I would have preferred if they did promptly return our call, cuz customer service. Mio's good for a quick meal, I'd come back again! read more

When it first opened, I thought hmm, build your own fresh pasta? How good it can it be? After seeing a post of the eggplant Bolognese photo, to be honest, it didn't appeal to me. One day for a late lunch, I decided to check out Mio Pastalogy for the first time. They took over the former spot of Aunty Ramen & prior to that the McCully On On Chinese restaurant. I was the only customer at that time, so I was able to take my time to make my decision. I've decided on that special of the day, Tobiko Panna. Panna was a cream sauce and as much as I tried to stay away from cream sauces, I've decided to go with it since it was a special. For their special, you can not alter the specialty pasta by adding items or making changes to it. The special is "as is" otherwise you would have to build your own. Even without chicken or meat inside except for Tobiko, mushrooms, shiso, green onion etc in the pasta , I was presently surprised how much I've enjoyed the special of the day pasta-Tobiko Janna! I was sold that even without bacon or other protein, it was really tasty and delicious! As I was transporting the pasta, I thought it had way too much sauce, but I didn't realized the sauce is sitting in a separate container and what I was looking at was the sauce only sitting inside the top tray of the bowl's rim. The noodles and ingredients was sitting below! The spaghetti noodles which came with the special, had no problem mixing well with the pasta sauce! The flavors married well together. It's a great place for a fast take out pasta and you can customize it to how you like it! Nice to know they make their own pasta in-house daily and even their delicious breads. I bought each one of the breads! As I grabbing it, I was so amazed the bread was super soft and fluffy. Other bakeries are usually on the harder side. Found out later after reading the Frolic article, the bakery team is from the Japanese-style bakehouse Bakery and Table. The lady worker told me the owner also have another restaurant in Salt Kakaako called Vein. I've seen Vein restaurant advertised their pasta dish using the freshly made pasta from Mio Pastalogy. If you wondering if they have other items, they sell bottle water, few salads and even - small container of garlic butter for $1.00! I also read from Thomas' article on Frolic, to expect more & exciting things to come in December. I can't wait to return to build my own by choosing from the many other choices of different pasta noodles and sauces. I was sold on this concept. It may not look as appealing but the ingredients, al dente noodles and especially the sauces makes the dish! . Thanks for reading my review! =) read more

There's the build your own sub, nabe, pizza and omelet. Now pasta. Located in old Aunty's Ramen location Mio Pastalogy opened the other week much to my anticipation. I love the concept. Homemade fresh pasta noodles with the sauce of your choice. I appreciate a place that can do things the way you want it and Mio is designed around that concept. I ordered a few things included the Tagliatelle pasta with a bolognese and the Pappardelle with bolognese and eggplant. Both dishes were rich in flavor and I love the homemade noodles. You can always tell between that and the dried variety. One draw back is that because of COVID and the take-out theme, pasta tends to stick together after you cook it and leave it out. So when you get to your eating destination, mixing it can be challenging. It's tough not to tear the noodles as you mix since it gets stuck. Once trick if you're at home is to drop the noodles in warm/hot water to break them up, drain and then mix in the sauce. The other trick I tried is adding the sauce in, closing the cover and shaking it up like a salad. That seems to work pretty good. I do appreciate them keep everything separate in those need containers however. I hope post-COVID, whenever that happens, they will have dine in and i can truly taste the freshness of everything plated up to eat right then and there. read more

Wow!!! Mio pastology is my new go to take out pasta. I've been saying for a while now that I really wanted a place in hawaii that was quality pasta to go (especially in the pandemic) without having to sit down or pay unreasonable prices. Mio is a perfect one serving pasta to go. They even put the sauce in a separate container so you can combine when you get home! Genius! Everything is priced ala carte, and noodles are homemade and fresh! I ordered the panna sauce, which is like a pink sauce with tagliatelle and chicken. My boyfriend got the bolognese with linguine, Italian sausage and fried garlic. Noodles are all $4, sauces are $4 and the toppings vary. They even offer fresh housemade bread! We had the ciabatta and focaccia. They were so soft and yummy. The bread was all $2.50. There is a lot of parking, as they took over the old Aunty's ramen. Def a new fave place of mine!! read more

A new restaurant that opened during this covid! Everything about this place is different from most places on this island. You can create your own pasta dish or they also have preset dishes. When we first arrived the staff was very nice and asked if it was our first time and needed help ordering. The menu is pretty straight forward. I ordered the linguine noodles with the aurora sauce and added broccoli, mushrooms, bacon & garlic chips to it. And I also got another one to take that was a preset dish - Aurora Shrimp. Both were tasty and I'm glad I tried that sauce. It's a cream sauce and red sauce which goes really good together. I wanted to get pesto but figured I should try something different. I also ordered their baguette and salt bread with a side of garlic butter that was so good as well! The breads are so so so soft and made fresh daily. I wanted to order a salad because they also looked good but their a little pricey so I stuck with just the pastas. The bowls look small but it's actually very filling. And although each add on is an additional price, the more you add in your pasta the better flavor it has. Their noodles are also homemade. I love the chewy texture and how fresh everything tastes. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu items! read more

Horrible food, shockingly horrible service, shady ambience. If you're in a hurry don't come here. If you want Italian food, don't come here. This is not Italian food. I was starving after work and wanted to try something different and this place looked interesting and advertised itself as Italian food. I placed my order, waited 20 to 25 minutes, purchased a bag of focaccia and headed home with my shrimp pasta. What they gave me, I found out when I got home with my takeout order, was a lump full of noodles in the container that was all stuck together in a ball. It was like rubber. The sauce was separate. It was bland, But I was hungry so I tried to eat it. I could not. The way the noodles were all stuck together and uncooked, it just tasted so disgusting, the taste, texture, everything. I did something I had never done before. I took the dish back the following day and asked the manager if it's supposed to come like that in one big lump? This is the edit part because I forgot to add that the manager told me I was supposed to pour the sauce on the noodles in order for it to separate. I didn't eat it right away therefore the sauce was not piping hot so that was a moot point She had words with the co-worker in their language and tried to find out from me who was working the previous day. I don't know, I have to describe the cook now? She asked for the receipt which I double checked my car and did not have. I was really surprised when manager said she would not exchange the food Without the receipt. Hello, everything is in the same container from your restaurant but whatever. I didn't want a replacement anyway. What I want is for this place to go away as quick as possible. Whoever is running this place, needs to do better, do some taste tests, train the cooks, and definitely train your managers in customer service. read more

After hours of deliberation over whether my family, like our jewish ancestors, should get Chinese food on Christmas, my brother recommended this place, which he described as a pasta version of his beloved pieology. As they were open on Christmas (thank you so much to the workers!) we ordered from here. The food was made quickly and ordering was all online. The restaurant, which seemed to still be partially under construction, was bright and clean and the workers, despite running a shift on christmas, were very nice (once again thank you to them!). I got the papardelle with aurora, a mix of pomodoro and panna sauce, with sausage, eggplant, and ricotta. These also came with croissant rolls. First off, the rolls were sublime. Very buttery and light with some saltiness on the outside. I could've eaten five and I definitely need to try their other baked goods. The pasta was also tasty. Their noodles are handmade and have a distinct lightness to them--less chewy than dried noodles, almost like fresh soba. The papardelle reminded me a bit of belt/biang biang noodles. It took some maneuvering to get them unstuck but the sauce definitely helped. I found the sauce a tad underseasoned. It was nicely thick and creamy, savory from the tomato, but I had to add ricotta and a bit more salt to get it where I wanted. That's just me though. The eggplant was tender and went well with the sauce, and the sausage was fun, with a crunchy outside that added a nice but unexpected texture to the dish. Overall great place and perfect (for us jews at least!) for Christmas dinner. read more

Mio Pastalogy opened 3 days ago, Saturday Nov 14th. First impression - Japanese pasta chain but the manager said this was their first location and the owners are restauranteurs. They also offer bread that is bake daily and fresh salads. Currently only offering take out due to COVID. Three of us share a salad & bread. House made pasta portions are Japanese size. The skinny gal said she was, "satisfied." Grandma liked her pasta but couldn't finished it after eating salad & bread. Wish I ordered extra pasta for $1.50. The fresh pasta was chewy/al dente and sauce was flavorful - I wanted more! I wanted to feel "full" not "satisfied." So I ate Grandma's leftovers and then I felt "full." Located in the former Aunty's Ramen. Mio Pastalogy uses 1/3 of the space. They plan to add a bakery, teishoku and seating section. I can see myself frequenting this place for their flavorful pasta. Private parking. Fast service. Affordable. Courteous staff. Love the packaging for take out pasta. read more

This place opened after Aunty's Ramen had closed down. I am a PASTA / NOODLE FANATIC and that's why I decided to try it out. Place is clean but a small area to take orders from. I noticed that the breads are out in the open on a commercial rolling rack just there ready to grab and package. My opinion on that is because the breads are made fresh, shouldn't it be kept warm or in something a little less out in the open? I decided to do the "Make Your Own Pasta" which there are 4 steps into ordering. 1. Choose your Pasta ($4); 2. Choose your Sauce ($4) 3. Choose your Protein ($2) 4. Choose your Cheese ($1). Now there are not much choices of cheese except grated parmesan & ricotta. They even make different types of breads too but is not listed on the "take-out menu". You can go on their website/SM for information on what they have. I ordered Linguine (Pasta) w/extra pasta; Panna Chicken Sauce (Cream Sauce w/Herb Chicken; Chicken & Broccoli; Parmesan & Ricotta Cheese as well as their focaccia bread. Now...correct me if I'm wrong but I believe Focaccia bread is supposed to be a "flat bread". I see that you were maybe trying to be different but making it into little muffinsk i9 was NOT what I expected. First, opening the container I see you have a 2 layer container with the top not even 1/4 full with the sauce (ok...but i get that the separation of the sauce from the noodles is a good sight to see) it smells wonderful but I wish the sauce was about 1/2 full. Lift that up and you have your pasta & protein located at the bottom. Again, smells delightful. The 2 cheeses are in little containers not even filled...only half of it which is $1/each. I expected a lot more noodles since I ordered extra but I'd say it was half full from under the top sauce container (small amount) First bite, hmm...ok...the sauce was very watery. Second, Do not assume it comes with chicken "breasts" because it doesn't. Third, still had the skin on (I'm not a fan of having the skin on my chicken with this type of dish) and finally, the noodles were dry. The broccoli was not too hard nor too soft - perfect! The chicken was something they just threw Italian seasoning on with some pepper and put in the oven-i think. The taste of it all combined would be that it tasted like a lot of Olive Oil...I could taste it in every bite. Olive oil has a very strong taste so it would be wise not to use too much in a dish. I think overall I could taste olive oil in every bite. Even in the focaccia muffin...taste like straight olive oil. I'm glad that everyone else enjoyed this place...but I'm giving my honest opinion and I don't think I will be ordering from this place any time soon. My stomach turned about 10 minutes after eating... 2 stars for the place being clean & neat though. read more

This is listed as Italian. It's NOT NOT NOT Italian. I had the natto carbonara (natto on the side) and BF has the eggplant bolognese. The carbonara is more like ramen. It is noodles on the bottom in a bit of broth, with limp bacon, a soft poached egg, nori, and bonito flakes. You stir the egg into the broth to make the "carbonara" sauce. Italian food does not use nori and bonito flakes. All the flavors are asian. The only thing Italian is the name. It tasted fine, but it did not taste at all like carbonara. The eggplant bolognese uses their red meat sauce. This is NOT bolognese; again, the spices are all wrong. No basil or oregano anywhere, asian flavors only, maybe cinnamon and anise? If you go and expect asian tastes, I think you will like it better. If you go expecting Italian like I did, I predict you will come away with the sense that this place is just...not right. read more

My rating is based on affordability and service. Due to COVID, only take out was offered. Ready to go salads, pasta and sauces were also offered, as well as panya style baked goods. Service was great! Workers were all very friendly and helpful. I made a mistake in my call in order, but they were kind enough to change when I arrived. Ordered 3 meals that included aurora shrimp(3 shrimp/order), pesto shrimp & build your own pasta dish (meat sauce, mushrooms & rigatoni), only $11/meal. Portion size was decent. Pasta & sauce were packed separately, which was nice, then combined together when ready to eat. Everything was warm and filling. Flavor was (just) good for the aurora shrimp & pasta, but will definitely try again because of the great service and low cost. read more

I think I just found my new favorite dish!! The shoyu butter pasta blew my mind!! It has so much flavor and utilized my favorite ingredients. I wasn't a fan of their pink sauce pasta years ago, but I'm glad I tried a different dish tonight. My boyfriend's Panna (cream sauce) pasta was bomb as well! The portion sizes are perfect. They're more filling than they look. read more

12/28/2020 Been wanting to come here since they opened and we didn't get a chance to until now. Upon entering we were warmly greeted by the workers and assisted with the menu options. The special of the day was the Natto carbonara which I came in for after seeing this on Yelp. That was the first sign of a truly perfect meal. My partner order the bolonese eggplant with extra noodle and fried garlic. We ordered a side Greek salad to share(it's only $9 and it's big) and some assorted bread choices. They just came out of the oven so how come you say no right?? While we waited for our food the main worker(possibly manager) let us sample some of their breads!!! It was so warm and perfectly made. I couldn't wait to try the one we ordered with our pasta! All the food was so Ono!!!! I especially loved the salt butter bread. Second visit 1/10/2021 Came back and ordered the bolonese eggplant with beef but switched the noodles to casarecce. LOVED this choice! So delicious and the pasta was exactly what I wanted! I will say that I am disappointed in the cashier. I specifically asked her if there would be cheese in the sauce and she said no. So we got our food and took it to the park. When I sat down and opened my sauce there was Parmesan on top of my sauce. Luckily I had my lactaid but I did not want to use it. And if I didn't I would have had to request a new one. Please make sure all staff know the ingredients cuz if it were a more severe allergy it could have gone much worse. I was going to deduct a star, but the food is top quality and that's what I want to reflect on. read more

I was excited to try this place as it is build your own pasta. It is take out only atm, but the ordering process and the wair time is not bad at all! I like how they separate the pasta from the toppings and sauce so it doesnt get soggy. I tried the mentaiko pasta which was not bad, but it had a lot of shiso leaves in it. It was my mistake because i threw all the toppings in the pasta not knowing it was shiso. I am not a big fan of shiso, so i did not really like it. My boyfriend made his own and he liked it! He had bolognese sauce, shrimp, and a ton of veggies. They also have fresh bread that they make daily. I tried the mushroom bread which was really good. read more

The service was great and the young girl there answered all my questions and gave me a little extra focaccia. The place is very clean and there's ample parking outside. Next time you're having people over for dinner, why not go get fresh pasta and sauce for a side dish and then all you have to make is a salad? read more

Too salty! up! there goes your blood pressure. Mio P's gotta be a Japan import eatery. east Asians have a very high tolerance for salt & high b.p. isn't a problem over there, unlike in the U.S. nonetheless, it's pupule -- an eatery can just offer salt packets & shoyu packets, which you can easily add, but ya can't take the salt out of the dish! pupule too was their menu/TV screen which had a black background on its lower half making it very difficult to read. panna sauce was tasty, but too salty. don't be pupule like me who ordered bacon & sausage & olives -- all salty stuff! big sign saying 20% off from noon to 2 pm. lots of parking, but beware the big & deep potholes. but it's a good concept, offering many types of pasta shapes & an infinite combination of ingredients to custom blend. read more

I was so sad. Ordered one of the wafu pastas. The food looks like it would be really tasty but once you take the first bite, you are overwhelmed by SALT. Way way too salty- it's not bordering on inedible but is inedible. Really wanted to like this place; I would give it another try since this is an easy fix. All chefs know you gotta taste your food before you serve it! read more

Takeout review: Amazing freshly made pasta and breads! This place really earns it's 5 stars. Right now it's a takeout only place with a casual feel and fine dining food at an affordable price. The staff was really friendly and helpful with recommendations. Pasta: We ordered 3 different pasta dishes and they were all really good. You can make your own pasta combination or choose one of their specialty pasta dishes. We chose 2 specialty pastas, the Mentaiko and poached egg with spaghetti and the Bolognese eggplant with papardelle. We made one on our own with tagliatelle with aurora sauce, chicken, bacon, and mushrooms. My favorite was the Mentaiko aglio e olio with the poached egg, green onions, nori, and some type of greens. The poached egg made the dish nice and creamy. My wife's favorite was the bolognese eggplant with the papardelle. Papardelle pasta is probably our favorite type of pasta and they do it well here. The custom made pasta dish we made was super good too. I really liked the aurora sauce with is tomato and cream sauce put together. They sell the freshly made pasta and sauces to take home and cook. I think I might try that next time. Bread: We got an assortment of the breads since they all looked so good. We got the salt butter roll (not sure if that's the name), pao de queijo, baguette, and melon pan. You must get the salt butter roll with your pasta! It was so soft and buttery with a little crunch from the sea salt. The baguette was really soft on the inside and had a slight chew on the crust. The pao de queijo was cheesy and chewy, kinda like a cross between mochi and bread. We had the melon pan for dessert, which was soft on the inside and had a nice sugary crunch on the edges. We are gonna definitely have to try the focaccia and other breads next time. Disclaimer - the pictures don't do the food justice. The food is way better than the pictures I took of them. read more

They make 5-6 different fresh pasta noodle every morning. It's perfectly cooked Al dente (not over cooked but give good texture when you bite) and very tasty. My favorite is bolognase eggplant with Italian sausage. Pick your own pasta, sauce, and can also add meat and veggies for additional price. For lunch time, I got $2.00 off from regular price which was nice. They also sell uncooked pasta (2-3 servings, per staff) and container of pasta sauce. It's a casual eatery, not really a sit down place, but if you are looking for a quick take out, this place is good. They put noodle and sauce separately for take out to avoid getting soggy. read more

Fast and delicious! Loved the Asian fusion inspired dishes. It wasn't what I was expecting at all.

I was really excited to try this place and it seemed that by most reviews everyone enjoyed it. The service was great and the parking was easy as it was pretty empty and I can see why now...I ordered the mentaiko spaghetti as I like mentaiko and I found it interesting to fuse with Italian cuisine. It comes with sprinkles of seaweed and a poached egg. When I took the bowl home the pasta probably only filled 1/4 of the big bowl. The mentaiko was so salty it made everything inedible. There was no kick to it either as mentaiko usually is a bit spicy. Very one dimensional flavors of just SALT. The salt and butter bread however was delicious but so small. For the price I paid the portion was absolutely small, the taste was meh and I wouldn't go here again, read more

Edit to my initial review below: Boyfriend and I decided to give this place a chance one more time and we will not be coming back. We didn't have any issues getting extra pasta this time, but we saw homegirl with the tattoos that was working today stick her pinky into one of our pasta cups and dig around for whatever reason. She was still wearing the same pair of gloves that she had on when she collected our money, and who knows how many other customers' cash until then, so that glove was probably extremely dirty when she poked around in our food. And she saw us watching her and she still gave it to us like nothing was wrong. Sorry no, we're done with this place. Changing my rating from 3 stars to 2. Only good thing worth going for are the baked pastries. Skip the pasta. *** I would give this place 4 stars because the pasta is pretty tasty, but I'm giving 3 stars because of an issue I had when ordering a side of fresh pasta. The portions are pretty small, so my boyfriend ordered his pasta and asked if a side of fresh pasta could be added into his order. It's right on the menu for $4.00, but the cashier had no idea what he was talking about so she called over a woman--I assume she was the manager--to ask for help. My boyfriend tried to explain to her that he wanted the $4.00 side of fresh pasta added into his order because the regular "extra pasta" for $1.50 wasn't enough. The manager, however, also didn't know what he meant and thought he was asking to buy the uncooked pasta they sell in the chilled display case next to the register. We stood both stood there for several minutes trying to explain what my boyfriend was asking for, but after several attempts the manager told us that my boyfriend had to order two portions if he wanted extra pasta. We just gave up by then went with buying two portions of his order when all he was asking for was $4.00 of extra fresh pasta. If the "side of fresh pasta" isn't something that can be added into an order, then fine, we would have just asked for two orders of "extra pasta" instead, but we didn't even get that far because no one seemed to know what "side of fresh pasta" was even though it's right on the menu. We haven't been back since because we're worried that ordering "two orders of extra pasta" would just confuse them again and we don't want to go through that. read more

Pasta bar ...interesting concept and as a pasta fiend I had to give it a try. It's simple, pick your pasta. Pappardelle is my go to but yes they have spaghetti or linguini if you crave the classics. Pick your sauce. I want to try the aurora the next time I go, I opted for the bolognese (meat sauce). Pick your add-ons. I've seen the mentaiko pasta with the poached egg, that's definitely on my to try list. I didn't add anything this time. Wish they had a meatball option. Lastly you can add cheese or bread. I need to have bread with my pasta so I went with the focaccia. It was light and fresh, can't go wrong. I'll definitely be back to try more concoctions. read more

They have a cute concept with the packaging where the top layer of the container is the sauce and the bottom layer is the pasta with your toppings. Great and easy take out system so the pasta doesn't get all soggy! On their menu they have an already set and signature pastas or you can make your own. I decided to make my own pasta and it was $11 ( prices vary depending on the amount of toppings you choose to add on) I got the papardelle pasta which is a thicc and flat type of pasta then I added on pesto, shrimp and ricotta! So yummy! The texture of the papardelle was just right! chewy and delicious. The pesto was light, oily and garlicky which went well with the papardelle. My friend ordered the papardelle pasta with mentaiko agilio y olio and a poached egg!! It was a good blend of spicy and salty! My only comment is that it was difficult to mix the pasta with a plastic utensil because the pasta was sticking together. Other than that I am coming back here to try more of their pastas for sure !! read more

See all

Got dinner from here last night and opted to order off of their Signature Menu, instead of building my own. I already saw a few reviews sharing that the mantaiko pasta was salty, so I didn't order it, even though I would have loved to try it! I got the Aurora Shrimp and added broccoli. My boyfriend built his own and made something similar - rigatoni pasta, the Aurora sauce, shrimp, bacon and ricotta. We also got two rolls that I believe were salted and a little container of their garlic butter. Both of our meals were good and the bread with the garlic butter was tasty! The employees were nice and the food came out pretty quickly. I would return here and try a different pasta, maybe build my own with a creamy white sauce! read more
