The food was absolutely amazing. We had the strawberry smashed basil cocktail and it was so delicious and not overly sweet. The Korean pizza was so yummy and unexpected. The kids pizzas were great in size and absolutely delicious. Everyone loved everything they ate and the orange Caesar salad was a fun twist on a classic Cesar that we definitely enjoyed. David was the absolute best server. He was very knowledgeable and so attentive and fun. We had a blast. Best meal In Waikiki

Apettito was a delightful surprise—great food and ambiance! Gluten free pizza option made my night since I have a food allergy which we paired with the caesar salad that had orange slices. Very refreshing and light dinner after being in the sun all day.

Fantastic experience. This is a real cute place with lots of charm. The pizzas were delicious. We were there for happy hour and the selection was plentiful. We had a couple of rounds of drinks. The waitress was so sweet and a lot of fun.

Appetito is THE BEST restaurant in Waikiki. The food is amazing, specially their happy hour menu from 3pm to 6pm! Our favorite pizza is the Italian Salami. Our favorite server is Darrel! He is always happy to see us and his service it’s outstanding. If you are looking for a place to eat in Waikiki, look no further, Appetito is the best place ever!!

First time in Hawaii and out of all the restaurants I’ve been to so far this has been the best. Food was absolutely delicious; the appetizer (eggplant caponata) was so good that we repeated it for another round. Our server was so nice and friendly. It was amazing. Don’t you love that feeling of walking out of a restaurant happy?

Had a wonderful experience here. Our waiter was fun and helpful. Went during happy hour which made it affordable. Did order a non happy hour entree, the pasta special which was a shrimp truffle Alfredo. It was super delicious. Also got the lemon drop, blue Hawaiian and red sangria drinks. Sangria was just okay others were good! The spicy meatball and portobello fries were great.

Celebrated a friend's birthday here. I don't go to waikiki much, so i didn't know about this place prior to Friday 3/14/2025. It's waikiki prices, however going during happy hour makes it affordable. Also, the happy hour foods were amazing. The portobello fries along with the pesto aioli sauce was delicious. Slightly crispy, tinder and savory. The spicy meatball was good, the Thai curry sauce really elevated the dish. I used the remaining sauce for the pizza crust...haha it was awesome. The pasta was my other favorite dish, al dente, savory and cheesy. The two pizzas were good but its wasnt amazing. For a thin crust, it was alright, slightly undercooked, but the contents and sauce was good. Service was busy, but they were alittle talkative. Like when we left, one of the staff members said..."finally, i can clear the table". Lol, we were only there for 1 hour...and the restaurant was half filled. Our server was friendly and patient though. Restaurant has a good atmosphere but the open-air style concept is not the best in my opinion. Just so happens, friday evening had several police and firefighting trucks passed by. Sirens were loud and drown all the conversations which was unfortunate...

My husband and I had dinner here and enjoyed the orange Caesar salad, margherita pizza, and granchino fettuccine—everything was delicious. The central location is convenient, and the staff were kind and attentive. The only downside was the music being a bit too loud, making conversations slightly difficult and the atmosphere noisy. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and we’d recommend it!
