Formaggio Grill

this place is one of the best restaurants on the island! the food, the service, the ambience. i've been here over a dozen times and each time, the food and its presentation are A+++. they have such an eclectic menu. from bruschetta to fish tacos to buffalo wings to choice cut steaks. they are all prepared by the chefs in an open kitchen. the staff is very warm and inviting, and service is prompt and efficient. i usually have their bruschetta. it's like bruschetta on steroids. the salads are crisp and fresh. i highly recommend coming here for a nice dinner or a casual lunch. you can even watch a game or two on their big screen TVs. on Friday nights they have live music. definitely a place to keep coming back to.

We may have been the only ones in there for lunch, but that only means others are missing out. The sweet potato fries were fresh, crispy on the outside and soft in the center aïoli sauce they were served with was different but really good, that same sauce was served with the calamari. I was finally so nice to get serve the tentacles and not get rings! They were perfectly fried! The appetizers were so good I was almost too full to eat my lunch. The big plate lunch's are big enough to share and boy we should have. Caesar salad fresh and the dressing was amazing with a slights lemon zest taste, it was so good I ate the whole side salad before I even took a bite of my burger. The Kobe was Cooke well, but this is where they lost a star for me. I had to have my husband ask for some napkins because there was so much mayo on the burger it was all I tasted. My other friends thought it was melted white cheese at first. It took 3 napkins to get it off. I ended just taking part of the bread and lettuce off as my lettuce was soaked in mayo and eating it that way. The fish tacos were huge fresh and perfect! My friends just kept saying how good they were. Loved all the artwork on the walls and bar area was super nice. I am sure they get a good dinner crowd.

Being a Lone Ranger on island at Christmas, I decided to take myself out to a nice Christmas dinner. I sat at the bar with my reservation and had a very nice Cabernet to go with my absolutely delicious chicken Parmesan and spaghetti. The service itself was great. 3 different servers consistently attended to me which was very pleasing. The dessert finished off very well with my wine as well. The ambiance was very holiday visitor vibe but the staff was great at hosting at a great level. Thank you for a great ending to my solo Christmas Formaggio's!

Terrible service and food. Very pricey for a very subpar food. And the staff and owner were both very unprofessional.

Excellent restaurant that surprisingly was completely devoid of patrons during early-prime dinner hours on a weekday. Do locals not know of this place? - Nice layout, ambience, not loud (maybe because it was empty?) - Great food - Good serviceRecommended.

Dang this guys have 3 stars? Wonder whyyyyy... could it be the management sucks or the food?.. probably a bit of both.

High ceilings, nice bar, good size venue with great service. Pricey menu but the food portions are filling and taste good. I tried the tacos and the Kobe beef burger. Both were prepared well and didn't take very long. Servers were polite and attentive. I'm glad I found this spot because I'll definitely be returning to the bar area for a date night later down the road

What a pleasant evening! A group of 25 guests went to Formaggio for a social evening and dinner on Saturday evening. I had arranged with the Jim, the manager, to utilize the private room in the back. When I arrived to set up, the tables had all been pushed together, seating prearranged with elegant black tablecloths, glasses, plates and napkins with cutlery. The room itself was adorned with gorgeous original paintings of local scenery and sights. We were able to adjust lighting as needed and were even provided with a couple extra tables for sign in and welcome purposes. The wait staff was attentive yet unobtrusive, relatively prompt with the items I had preordered, and kept water glasses filled. We were able to mostly close the door to the main restaurant, which had a live band and a birthday celebration concurrently, thus we're able to socialize amongst ourselves freely. I had preordered a few appetizers and entrees to be served family style on platters and it worked out well- the Brussels sprouts were crispy and perfectly roasted, the Burrata caprese fresh and lively with herb dressing, and traditional Caesar salad whet our appetites for the main courses. The staff served the fish tacos (succulent and very generous on the fish portions,) salmon piccata, lemon and butter with capers accenting the rich taste of that delicious fish, impossible bolognese, for the vegan members of our group, and the Kobe burger , cut in half to be shared around the tables. (FYI it is served reddish to pinkish.) All my guests said the food was excellent , and we attribute the success of the night to the accommodating manager and his friendly staff. We will plan more events here. It's a great alternative to being ignored and rushed in Waikiki.

Everything food, service and ambience was fabulous‼the wine list is outstanding. Check out list by the glass

I love this place. I always get the filet mignon and it has never disappointed me. The service is great and I always have a great time. Highly recommend.
