    We had an early dinner here and boy wees we happy. Drinks were delicious and the food was great. The service was quick and attentive abs the server was kind and friendly. The ambiance was a chill restaurant we even saw a dog sitting in the both next to us. It was super cute. He was a good boy. This restaurant is located right by Mai Tais!

    Cilantro

    I specifically ordered NO CILANTRO and NO PARSLEY because of a food allergy yet there it was. Scattered across the salad

    This is definitely the better branch compared to the one at Kahala Mall, for several reasons--one of the biggest being the friendlier and more attentive service. I also tried their take-home pizza for just $11 (about half the regular price) and was genuinely impressed. It was delicious and exceeded my expectations. Highly recommended. On their complimentary house baked bread, cold one should be avoided; nothing beats the freshly baked that is still warm to the touch.

    Food was great as usual. Had two orders of the bread and olive oil. I was full before the food was served!! Our waiter Jamie was outstanding! So efficient and friendly. CPK is so lucky to have her working there.

    MUSHROOM PEPPERONI SAUSAGE PIZZA with no mushrooms - A+
    Jessica R.

    Starting at the beginning: My boyfriend didn't like the table we sat at, it was a 6 seater for 2 people. Hm. Then we saw an older couple arrive after us get a nice smaller booth. They were also served water right away and we waited 5 min for water... Ok...oh and one of the seats at our table was covered in crumbs. The tequila chicken fettuccine arrived first and it looked NOTHING like the photo, lukewarm, ok flavoring, yeah would not come here for this. The cacio e Pepe pizza arrived next, maybe would have tasted good if it was fresh, but it was kind of cold and the cheese had hardened and it was so hard to bite and chew... The mushroom sausage and pepperoni pizza arrived (requested no mushrooms) and it was also kind of cold but at least it was still soft and easy to eat. The mini butter cake flight arrived with 90% melted ice cream as you can see in the photo, and aside from that it was just like regular cake. I think the original butter cake would have been better and request the ice cream on a separate dish so it doesn't melt??? Best part was the view of the sunset which was probably the most amazing sunset of the whole year and I was most unfortunately inside of CPK..... I blame all this on the inKind app. We wouldn't have gone here if I didn't have $42 inKind cash to spend! InKind is way better for people on mainland!!!

    Chicken Piccata

    Just want to say that the new addition to the menu - the salmon picatta is the bomb. This will be my go-to dish going forward. The salmon was a good piece and cooked thoroughly. The flavors of the lemon and salty capers really hit the spot. If you haven't tried it yet, what are you waiting for?

    We needed to find a place to feed the kiddies lunch. Bud loves pizza so this suggestion worked for them. The plan was after lunch I take Sweetie back to school shopping and hubs takes Bud to Dave n Busters cuz they decided not to see Freakier Friday. Our server was not the friendliest man but luckily we got seated next to my cousin who was there with her husband. Covid put a stop to our family get together say Xmas so this made my day seeing her. Food came out pretty fast which was good. I chose Lettuce wraps since my two favorites at CPK, Thai Crunch Salad and Kun pao Spaghetti has peanuts & Bud has a nut allergy. Cpk is a great place to catch up with friends and family. I was sad to see they no longer serve mushroom ravioli. A good choice if you have things to do at Ala Moana shopping center and don't want the crowd at the Lanai or food court.

    The service was pretty amazing so kudos to our bartender! The food in general was good. No complaints about the spinach artichoke dip, however the dumplings were a little gummy (it's probably our fault for getting it steamed). Pizza was delicious and tasty! However I want to mention that I did get take out and I was highly disappointed with that. It kind of killed everything for me. The pasta was okay and it was suppose to come with chicken, red onions etc... not one some chicken and ONE oversized onion slice. I love onions but this was excessive? I want to make it clear that the service was exceptional and accommodating, however the take out food I feel like wasn't prioritized compared to our dine in dishes. I can see the difference and the lack of attention to detail.

    My review hasn't changed from the last time.. still amazing service and delicious food! I got the wild mushroom pizza on cauliflower crust, my husband got the Alfredo past with shrimp, my daughter got the Alfredo pasta with chicken and my son-in-law got a Cobb salad. Everything came out perfectly seasoned and cooked perfectly! I swear, this location never misses! The quality of the food is always spot on and the team is always pleasant. I highly recommend this location if you're in the area!

    Zucchini & chicken pasta
    Shanelle B.

    Ambience was good. Service could improve, our waitress took our order. Ordered 3 appetizers but only one came out and she didn't put in the other 2 in. Food wasn't great, I ordered the zucchini pasta with chicken and it was more like a soup. I found pieces of fettuccine noodles in mine and pushed it to the side. My son's pasta didn't have any sauce just mostly the pasta noodles with meat.

    Bread and iced tea

    Amazing service!! Henry was great!! We didn't have to ask for refills of our drinks, he checked up on us and made sure we had everything we needed!! Delicious pizza and salad. So Ono. Super nice server and we had an awesome lunch. Super crowded but we had great service Thank you Henry!! Hope we get him as our server again.

    Popped in for lunch at the CPK, located at Ala Moana Center in Honolulu. Great atmosphere and even greater views of the shore line. The bar was fully stocked and the pizza was fresh and curated to your taste. I had an Hawaiian style pizza. Fresh pineapples, ham & bacon, with jalapeños. It was fantastic. The Wait staff were very attentive throughout my dining experience. I would definitely visit this location again.

    My husband and I were in the area and decided to try Little G Cafe after seeing all the positive…read moreYelp reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. 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.

The crust…read moreis a little less blistered than some places but is solid, great bite, foldable, served on classic NY white paper plates with wavy rim. They have some creative other slices like vodka sauce with pesto etc which are tasty but if you're a pizza purist and lover you can't go wrong with two cheese slices. There aren't much frills so you can have water or soda from their mini fridge. Almost like going to a corner pizza place in the city. Sandwiches available sometimes. We go early for lunch on Sundays and grab a seat outside. The proprietor was especially kind and friendly to my FIL and I appreciated that. Overall this is the second best NY style pizza place after black shamrock by a small margin - the Jersey pie at shamrock with its awesome sauce and perfect crust is hard to beat but don't think you can order it by the slice. So very very close.

Located in the former Outback Steakhouse on Ala Moana Blvd., San Paulo serves classic American breakfast dishes like eggs benedicts and omelets, but also features a signature Brazilian breakfast as well as salads, sandwiches, and pastas. The restaurant is large and spacious, and the service was friendly and attentive. I had the slow cooked beef short rib eggs benedict, and it was delicious! I also enjoyed the pancakes which were cooked perfectly - fluffy with a crisp edge. The restaurant is perfect for large groups and can accommodate up to 140 guests. Validated parking is available in the structure for $5 for 4 hours.

    Not kid-friendly, rude hostess, bland marinara…read more I was staying near this restaurant on vacation with a 3 year old toddler. For anyone who doesn't have a 3 y.o., they can be very picky eaters. Since Sao Paolo was in walking distance, I called to ask if they serve a child's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which the girl on the phone confirmed. I reiterated that I was asking about a children's portion of spaghetti and marinara, which she confirmed. I asked a third time that it would be spaghetti and plain red sauce (nothing spicy, no meat bits, etc), and got a "yes." I placed an order, waited 15 minutes and walked down there to pick it up. The hostesses were friendly and I paid $18 (plus 10% tip) for the small bowl of pasta. They asked me how my day was going, and I joked that it would be better now, since I could finally give my kid his favorite "red spaghetti." I walked back to my hotel room to feed my child, but when I opened the container, I let out a loud frustrated sigh when I saw a bowl of penne and marinara, not spaghetti. Again, this is for a TODDLER, and my toddler only eats spaghetti, not penne. In frustration, I called Sao Paulo and explained the situation. When I told the young hostess (who obviously doesn't have children) that my toddler doesn't eat penne, he only eats spaghetti, she actually laughed at me on the phone, which I found to be very rude. I told her this is not funny, that I'm desperately trying to feed my picky toddler on vacation, and that I specifically asked for spaghetti - several times - on the phone. She said she would have to consult her manager, which I found odd, because honestly, we're talking about probably 50 cents worth of pasta to this restaurant, which I paid $18 for. That's a 3,500% profit. After putting me on hold for several minutes, the hostess told me they would give me another children's portion of actual spaghetti at no extra charge. That "no extra charge" part was emphasized to me, like they're making a great sacrifice by giving me another 50 cents worth of pasta. I also looked at their kids menu online while trying to resolve the situation, and it says "perfectly cooked pasta" with marinara, NOT penne, so I don't understand their problem here. If their kids menu had said "penne" specifically, I would understand how this was my mistake, not theirs. My wife volunteered to get the replacement spaghetti and marinara because she could tell I might not be very polite to the hostess for laughing at me on the phone. She came back with a second container of... PLAIN spaghetti with NO marinara sauce, which again, my toddler would not eat. Our only solution was to rub the penne on the spaghetti to get as much marinara on it as possible. (The things parents do for their kids...) My toddler then ate some. I would estimate there was probably 10 cents worth of marinara sauce on the penne. So Sao Paolo saved themselves 10 cents by giving me dry replacement spaghetti. While all this happened, my toddler had a 30 minute meltdown in our hotel room because his dada had promised him his favorite "red spaghetti" when I first placed the order, only to get screwed by Sao Paolo twice. I believe the manager at Sao Paulo gave us dry spaghetti on purpose as a sort of f-you to us. This was a very mean-spirited thing to do to a family traveling with a young child, even if we're just a bunch of stupid haole. It was definitely not keeping with the "aloha spirit." I would remind all employees at Sao Paolo that they are supposed to practice Kokua and Lokomaika'i, even to mainlanders. If you're a parent with a picky eater child, don't count on Sao Paolo restaurant to listen to you or care about your situation. They are actively rude to and dismissive of parents traveling with young children. They will act like giving you 50 cents worth of pasta is a big deal, even if their mistake caused the whole problem in the first place. BTW, I ate the "perfectly cooked" penne. It was overcooked and mushy (the pasta fell apart while I ate it), and the "house-made" marinara was bland. It tasted like canned Chef Boyardee.

The crust was beautifully done, crisp around the edges, chewy in the center, and full of flavor.

Our kids loved both pizzas, and there wasn't a slice left by the end of dinner. After a long day in the sun, it was the perfect meal to bring home and share together. We'll definitely be ordering again.

At $24, it's definitely on the expensive side for a sandwich, but the quality of the ingredients and the freshness made it worth every penny. The flavors were fantastic, and I didn't mind paying the premium price after taking that first bite. Parking can be a little tricky. I'm not sure whether customers are allowed to use the Hana Koa parking lot for quick pickups, but a kind employee allowed me to park there while I ran in to grab my order. There are only a few parking spaces directly in front of Bocconcino, so that's something to keep in mind. There's some tables under a covered area, right next to the store. Many people were seated there talking story and enjoying drinks. Overall, a great experience and an excellent sandwich. I'll definitely be back for another Italian sandwich!

The price was a little steep, though. I paid around $26 for the sandwich including a few dollars for tip. It was really good, though, so I'd get it again as a nice lunch treat!

    This restaurant provides excellent Italian food for an affordable price! I always pass by this…read morerestaurant but decided to try it with my family and wasn't disappointed. The menu selection is large ranging from pasta to pizza. They have a lot of different types and the appetizers were great as well. Restaurant is BYOB with a glass fee (3-5$ a glass I think) Parking lot outside gets full fast but there is street parking on the surrounding neighborhood just a short walk away.

    It was pretty good overall. We came here specifically for pasta, and this quaint little restaurant…read moreis located just a short distance from Waikiki. They also have a private parking lot, which is always a plus. Service was good, and they offer pizzas in addition to their pasta dishes. I ordered the Linguini Pink Scampi, which was quite tasty. The pasta was generously coated in a rich, creamy pink sauce, with several large shrimp nestled throughout. The dish was hearty and satisfying, although my only complaint was that the shrimp still had their tails attached, which made them a little inconvenient to eat. My spouse ordered the lasagna, which arrived covered in a generous layer of melted cheese and Parmesan. It looked rich and hearty, but he found it a bit too gooey, with what he felt was too much red sauce and cheese. The lasagna noodles were also overcooked, taking away from the overall texture. For dessert, I had the Affogato. The creamy vanilla gelato slowly melting beneath a shot of espresso made for a simple but enjoyable finish to the meal. The contrast between the rich coffee and sweet, cold gelato was quite nice. Overall, it was a good experience. There were a few things that could have been better, but we'd definitely consider coming back again to try some of the other dishes.
