    Eat while watching pizza making
    Lori W.

    Location: Heart of Kakaako. Best to walk here and take in the sites of a revived area. Parking: Extremely limited. Service: Efficient and friendly. Be patient if the line is long. Always worth the wait. Food: 5/5 Outstanding for Hawaii. You can taste the quality fresh ingredients. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance: great outdoor seating near the pizza oven. Buy your favorite bottle of wine and enjoy while waiting for your order.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    The food was so good that I had to come again today. I tried their Parma sandwich and absolutely fell in love! The combination of pesto, tomato & arugula is unmatched. I would come here every single day if I could. I absolutely love Italian food and this my friends is top tier. Their quality & taste is authentic and everything is fresh. Their pricing is more than fair, you get what you pay for. Thank you Bocconcino

    Il Bolognese panini
    Kyle S.

    I have been meaning to come here for a long time though still have not. I had my brother go and pick up an order of Il Bolognese panini and Salsiccia & Funghi pizza. My brother said the ordering process was ok in the shop but you have to go outside to wait for them to call your name. The Il Bolognese panini had a slight crunch to the crust. The bread was of good quality and the fillings were good though I couldn't really taste the pistachio which is my only complaint. The fungi pizza used the same bread as the panini and it was good also with clumps of melted cheese, sausage, and mushrooms. I would like to try their Neapolitan pizza next time but this was a filling slice. I can see why people have been raving about this place to get good Italian food and I'll be back, this time in person!

    Bocconcino is located along Kawaiaha'o Street which is a bit of a rough narrow street, you can probably get away with street parking in front however. I called ahead and ordered takeout which came out on time. (4/5) Salsiccia & Porcini Pizza: The size was a bit small for the price point and I wish the sauce was more plentiful, but the flavor was good. (4/5) Bolognese Sandwich: LOVED the pistachio spread, it was the perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and nuttiness to pull the sandwich together. I'm lactose-intolerant and I'm surprised that I was perfectly fine after eating all the cheese on this sandwich. The only complaint I have is that the bread was hard and difficult to eat through.

    Every sandwich is a hit here. Every time. They're not cheap, but they're definitely made with high quality ingredients. That being said, don't plan to pick up food here if you're in a rush. It's a small shop with many orders and they painstakingly assemble every flatbread and sandwich with love. I've waited 45 min for 4 sandwiches before...Which are massive and should feed 6 people in my opinion. [[HIGHLIGHT]]While you wait, there's plenty of time to peruse the yummy Italian made ingredients in the shop and smell the wonderful smells.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I will come back again and again--and continue to bring friends who love food because I always want to try more than one wich when we're there!!

    The bolognese sandwich was my favorite, and the rest was not so good. I ordered 2 pizzas and 2 sandwiches. The bolognese sandwich was creamy with cheese served with bread that was a bit hard for me. The Toscano sandwich had no cheese in it which made it even more hard and dry. The Salsiccia pizza was better than the prosciutto pizzas because the sausage bite were chopped and easier to eat, but other pizza with large pieces of prosciutto and arugula salad leafs were uncut and when you take a bite, large chuck get difficult to eat. I can see how it is easier for the person to make it by just throwing large uncut pieces of meat and salads on the pizza, but difficult for the customer to actually eat. However, both pizzas are hard and dry, so I will not come back for these expensive and hard to eat food. Inside the store is nice, clean and full of food and merchandise to buy, but no parking spot sucks, especially in this narrow two way street. Too much hassle for at most, mediocre, super expensive food. I will not come here again.

    Where have I been?? One of the doctors told me about this place after my trip back from Italy. It was supposed to be like All'Antico. I stood in line Florence for a delish prosciutto layered. Wait here is long. I had the salsiccia and porcini sandwich. It was yummy! Place is more of a grab and go. They have seats in the back for outdoor vibes.

    If you don't already know about this place, you'll probably never stumble upon it - it's tucked away and kind of hidden. We started with the wine tasting, then ordered pizzas, purchased a bottle of wine and water (they'll open it for you and provide cups). After that, we stepped out of the store, and headed to the garage-style space where a chef, pizza oven, tables, and chairs are set up. A few minutes later, our pizzas arrived. I had the prosciutto and arugula with just a touch of lemon zest. It was excellent! The little hint of citrus was surprisingly refreshing and really made the pizza stand out. Overall, I really enjoyed both the food and the experience. A quick note: wine tasting and pizza service start at 5:30pm, but the store itself opens earlier, and you can also grab sandwiches there.

    Our first time here and we will definitely be back! The sandwiches are quality meat and so delicious! Parking is right in front of the shop but hard to get when it's busy.

    Truly a wonderful place. I've spent over a decade traveling to Italy, and I've been all over the country. Bocconcino is the perfect place to indulge in all the Italian delicacies I've missed, from meats and cheeses to pizza, sandwiches, beer, and wine. The pizza is spectacular, especially the Margherita. And I was surprised by the wine prices. I picked up a bottle of Pinot Grigio from Friuli for $15, and they provided glasses and a bucket of ice with no corkage fee. I can't wait to try more things here, especially the pizza al taglio, which has always been my favorite snack in Italy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is fun and casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Seating is limited, but the communal tables make it easy to sit with others and maybe make a few new friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service is very friendly and professional. Ci tornerò presto!

    Dinner in Kaka'ako, Honolulu, Hawaii... Closed on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, I had to time my visit so I could try the food. Bocconcino Hawaii stays open "late" on Saturdays for the pizza oven. Patrons can even buy something from the deli side - like a bottle of wine - and enjoy it with their pizza. Process: Pay inside the shop, then give your receipt to the pizza maker outside. They will deliver your pie to your table. Note: Get cups of iced water from the cashier and bring them with you outside. There's no indoor dining. I like to dine in because outdoor dining with no air-conditioning is a challenge for me. There was a fan blowing in one direction, but i couldn't feel anything. It was also noisy from the fan. I just wanted to leave after we finished. We ordered the Pistacchio e Mortadella (cured sausage) pizza. It had a Pesto base with extra virgin olive oil and Stracciatella (soft cheese). The chewy crust had a smokey flavor from the real pizza oven! Cut into four slices, it was delicious! Parking: We were there right before closing, so we parked in front of the shop. We asked if it was ok because there was a "tow away zone" sign. The pizza guys said we'd be alright... and we were!

    Decided to grab lunch at bococino today, instead of ordering from the main menu i decided to get the special of the day "panino de girono". If you are into cooking Italian cuisine make sure to stop inside because they also have plenty of different ingredients for you to buy ranging from olive oil to burrata. The servers were very nice and everything looked very clean too! The panino I ordered was amazing! The panino del giorno is filled with Carpaccio, artichoke and a nice creamy ball of burrata and spinata i believe. You can taste how fresh all of the ingredients are from the bread down to the carpaccio. The size of my panini is pretty big too so it's definitely worth the price tag. Bococino also sells plenty of Italian ingredients and a huge selection of wine, so if you're like me who enjoys making home made pizza's a paninis stop on in and get your fixings. The staff is also very helpful and takes great pride in what they make so if you have any questions about the menu be sure to ask. Also from how clean the area is you can tell they really love their store! Please stop on by this great place and order yourself a panini or a pizza, I promise you will be wanting to go back every week for lunch. Just make sure to get here early before the lunch rush because you will be stuck trying to find parking. Until next time!

    This little hole in the wall is a gem. Parking can be tricky. But it's worth the hassle. Parking is right in front of the entrance. The staff was so accommodating and sweet. Bella the daughter of the owner was very helpful and informative. She's definitely an asset to the business. The sandwhich I got was a home run. So simple and elegant yet tasteful and flavorful. It's a perfect combo of bread, mortadella meat, burrata cheese and pistachio spread. The pistachio isn't overwhelming, but brings a perfect balance to the sandwich. This place is definitely with a visit. It's fun to shop around while waiting for the food.

Parking is super easy with the complimentary structure, and the café is located on the bottom floor alongside other vendors. One thing I immediately appreciated was how well air-conditioned the entire market is--it's nice and cool, which makes sitting and eating there really comfortable. The cashier recommended the turkey pesto croissant, but suggested swapping it onto ciabatta since it's one of her favorites--and I'm so glad I trusted her. It was phenomenal. The flavors were balanced, the bread held everything together perfectly, and it felt like a step above your typical sandwich. I also had what looked like a simple salad, but the vinaigrette and candied pistachios really elevated it and made it feel more thoughtful than expected. The staff across the board were friendly and welcoming, and there's plenty of seating--whether inside the café or out in the open market area. Honestly, the value surprised me the most. I paid under $13 for everything, which is hard to beat for the quality. Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to.

And because they usually operate during work day hours, it is best that you just eat half of the sandwich to avoid that afternoon crash. Prices for these sandwiches may be on the higher side but the quality of the food makes up for it. This food truck is definitely worth checking out. Make sure you follow their Instagram account and see where they will end up. Pro tip: turn on that notifications to see where they are and head there before the lunch rush appears.

After looking over the menu options, we stood waiting for quite a while before anyone acknowledged us or took our order. The manager seemed rude and unwelcoming, which immediately set a negative tone for the visit. Looking back we should have trusted our first impression, but we decided to give it a chance and see what the hype was about. We each ordered a slice of pizza and took it outside to eat. After eating , we walked past the glass wall of the cafe and I noticed the manager handling and mixing flour with his bare hands, with the flour mixture covering his hands and forearms. I didn't expect to see food prep without disposable gloves and it made me uncomfortable. The pizza itself didn't make up for the experience. At around $22 per slice, I was expecting something exceptional or life-changing, instead, it was pretty underwhelming. The flavor, texture, and overall quality just didn't justify the premium price. Between the unfriendly service, concerns about food handling, and the disappointing pizza, I don't feel the experience was worth the cost of overpriced slices of pizza and I will not be returning nor will I recommend Little G Cafe to others. There are plenty of other pizza spots in Honolulu, including Boston's Pizza, that offer better value and a much more welcoming atmosphere.
