    First visit to Mangiamo Gelato in Midtown Eats. They are the unit closest to Liona Street. Gelato is a nice alternative to other frozen dairy desserts as we approach the Hawaiian Summer. I like them all; ice cream, soft serve, frozen custard... as well as gelato. I got the two scoop cup with Yuzu Sorbetto and Vanilla Bean Gelato. It made for a good contrast - tart and sweet. I've had similar or better vanilla gelato - Mangiamo's was excellent. The real MVP was the yuzu sorbetto. Super refreshing, bit tart. They are open 1130a on weekdays; 1100a on the weekends. Close at 830p, Sundays thru Thursdays...930p on Friday and Saturday nights.

    First time ordering from here. It's the last counter closest to the restrooms. They have the restroom codes printed on a sheet of paper on the side of their counter. They let you taste a flavor before purchasing. I decided to order two scoops per the woman's recommendation. My cup had mango on the bottom and Thai tea on top. Reasonably priced, delicious and just the right amount for an after lunch dessert. I'd definitely order from here again.

    Manual Gelato is one of the many stores inside the new food-hall at the Park. They are located all the way in the back right before the bathroom. They have many selections, you can sample them before your purchase. The staffs are friendly. After having dinner at the food hall, it is perfect to enjoy a gelato!

    Came back for like my 10th time and the other reviewers weren't lying, once you come here once you'll want to keep coming back. The Thai tea and Hawaiian honey yogurt are my go-to combo!! Samples are offered if you are unsure of what you want! You'll understand the rave once you try this place.

    Get your gelato from Mangiamo Gelato at Midtown Eats! Been dying to try this gelateria since my initial visit to Midtown Eats. So glad we finally did as we're hooked now lol. It's located at the mauka end, last counter when entering Midtown Eats parking lot entrance. My fellow gelato lover craved black sesame and was very delighted with her choice. I've ordered Kona coffee and green tea, both great choices. Will be back to try the Hawaiian honey yogurt. Service is prompt and friendly. Stop by and get some great gelato!

    How to order. Follow along if you can: - Keiki size equals one scoop. - One scoop equals two scoops of your choice. - Two scoops equals three scoops of your choice. Got it? Very good gelato. Not Italy good but US good. The fior di latte has the pronounced flavor of cow juice, errrr, milk and cream that is the backbone to their offerings. Sweetness is controlled. The Thai coffee would seriously taste like a creamy Thai coffee with the included bitterness. The black sesame, earthy undertones finishing with a rich tahini aroma and roundness. Inexpensive ($6.50 for "one scoop"). Unfortunately, no cones or even a pizzelle for garnish. Friendly service with lots of free samples. A good finish for a meal at this food hall.

    Dessert in Honolulu, Hawaii... Located at the new Food Hall called Midtown Eats on the ground level of the Park on Keeaumoku, Mangiamo Gelato is a winner for me! They had SIX dairy-free flavors that I needed to try, so, I visited twice... and got three flavors each day! The "double scoop" serving gets you up to three different flavors for (what I think is) the best deal. My first round included guava, Lilikoi, and chocolate Sorbetto flavors! My second round consisted of yuzu, mango, and li hing pineapple flavors! It's really challenging to select a favorite flavor, so please don't ask me! Haha! Service is always cheerful and friendly! The staff must be very popular because they're the closest to the restrooms! Everyone must pass by this vendor when they go to wash their hands! Plus, their location is next to the Liona Street entrance. Come and see the other creative flavors... like Strawberry Cheesecake... our church secretary really liked it! I also appreciate the free parking. Later, the free parking will be limited to 2 hours. The 3rd hour of parking will just be $1.00. Thanks for the air-conditioned, clean, safe, and well-lit environment! I've brought several friends here and they've all enjoyed this place!

    This place has some of the best gelato. We tried it out after dinner at Soul Chicken. A single scoop with 2 flavors is $6.50. We got two of those. One with pineapple li-hing and mango sorbetto. The other with black sesame and Hawaiian honey yogurt. I also sampled their Thai tea and lilikoi. They were all delicious. I had a hard time deciding on which flavors to get. I'm happy with the flavors that we got. Definitely get the Hawaiian honey yogurt. It's my favorite. The guy helping us behind the counter was pleasant. He offered us samples. Their gelatos are not made in house. They get it from a local distributor. The distributor apparently has a lot of gelato flavors. The guy told me that he went and sampled them all and picked out the flavors that he wanted to sell at this food hall. He chose a good mix and variety.

    Great service here. Soft opening at Midtown Eats. Mangiamo Gelato means Let's eat or We eat! Gelato refers to Italian or Italian style ice cream. It's located at the far front or end of the food court. Depending on where you start. It's right across the church next to McDonald's. I ordered a Single Scoop cup for $6.50 plus tax. One scoop Kona coffee and one scoop Caramel dark chocolate. The Kona coffee is 5/5 delicious with a good coffee flavor. The caramel dark chocolate was a bit too sweet for me. 3/5 stars. Service was friendly and efficient! Offered a taste of the gelato you wanted to try! Lots of tables and chaired throughout the food court and nearby Mangiamo Gelato. The Ambiance is food court chic. Nice lighting all around. Cement flooring. Bathrooms are located next to Mangiamo Gelato. You will need to ask for a code to access. Currently no parking validation here. Things may change. Currently all vendors are in its soft opening phase. Many changes will occur. I noticed only credit cards were being processed here. Delicious Italian ice cream here. Try some today. Update: I was charged twice for my one scoop of ice cream here. Be sure to check your charges later. Hopefully just a start up error that they will correct. I did submit a dispute for the double charge. Update #2: Once I was able to show the double charges, I was quickly refunded the amount. Thank you Jinny and Lacy for your response and help.

    After having lunch right inside Midtown Eats I wanted dessert . Of course Gelato way down at the Mauka side of the food court near the restrooms. Mangiamo Gelato I ordered Oreo Mint it was very creamy and lots of Oreo with a hint of mint delicious. I was full from lunch so I was planning on ordering the Keiki size meaning very small. Luckily I ordered single scoop because It was fairly small . Service was friendly and they also asked if I wanted to sample some of the flavors. I declined because I knew I wanted the Oreo Mint . They roughly have about 12 different flavors so next time when your inside the Midtown Eats why not live a little have dessert lol Support local

    I tried the honey yogurt gelato and I'm still thinking about it It was unbelievably creamy and smooth -- you would never guess it's dairy-free. The honey flavor was perfectly balanced: lightly sweet, a little floral, and not overpowering at all. I usually expect dairy-free desserts to taste a bit icy or flat, but this had that rich, velvety texture you want from real gelato. Super refreshing but still indulgent. Honestly one of the best frozen treats I've had in a long time. If you're lactose-intolerant, dairy-free, or just love trying unique flavors, this one is a must. I'd go back just for this flavor alone.

    I ate my Gelato so fast I didn't even get to take a picture... that should tell you how good it is! We were greeted right away and helped by the kind staff. You order and there's an open food hall seating style. We got the Mint Oreo and Chocolate Fudge Chunk - perfect combination! I can't wait to go back and try other flavors!

    Can gelato ever do you wrong? When you have Black Sesame apart of your line up.... NEVER. Finally the town side has been blessed with rich + creamy gelato with some local flavaflav, Location: Midtown Eats or a 10 minute walk from Ala Moana Parking: ample at the location, park on level 2 or 2.5. Gelato: more than 15+ flavors of deliciousness. Dairy and non-dairy. As you can tell, I live for that black sesame..I'm Asian..sue me. lol. Perfect for a nutty and rich taste bud! But the Hawaiian Honey Yogurt is perfect for those sweet + tart vibe. Plus, that Pineapple Lihing brings me back to my beach days. Service: pretty speedy on a busy Friday night when everyone craves a sweet treat. Also met the owners, they're so sweet! Overall: the gelato is great, the scoops are plenty, the people are nice and it's a local business. What more could you ask for? Mangiamo!

These fried, sugar-coated dough balls, often filled with custard or haupia, are beloved for their fluffy texture and association with tradition, especially "Malasada Day" (Fat Tuesday). And Leonard's Bakery malasadas are popular in Hawaii because they are served fresh, hot, and fluffy, establishing the Portuguese doughnut as a staple island treat since 1952. Founder Leonard Rego pioneered commercializing them, creating a cult following for the crisp-on-the-outside, doughy-on-the-inside treats. There's nothing like a nice, hot, and fresh malasada. At $2.20 each, there's just no point resisting.

The bigger the malasadas size the more airy and fluffy and more bread layers that will be inside. 2. their malasadas always taste fresh and the same quality each time. 3. their malasadas don't feel oily or heavy at all Overall I would highly recommend this place for their Malasadas! I'm so happy to have found them. I can back multiple times on my trip. They also have other desserts too that I have yet to try. They have ice cream, cakes, and other desserts Also tip: if you are ordering a malasada also order a coffee or a matcha drink to go with it. The cinnamon sugar from the malasada just matches so perfectly with a drink this restaurant is also a nice place for walking! There's lot of stores and restaurants to walk around!

However, there are many alternative malasada purveyors throughout Honolulu, so I depended on local vloggers to find the best ones. This one popped up often on YouTube, and as luck would have it, we were dining at The Pig & The Lady on the next block. How calorifically convenient. We took the opportunity to stop by for a pre-dinner snack since they closed at 6PM. It's a cute shop with multiple sweets including quite a selection of housemade ice cream and delectable mouthfuls called Cake Bombs (Photo 10). We decided we would be good and ordered one unfilled Malasada each. Dusted with various sugar flavors, they were just $2.65 a piece. I went for the Coffee, while Jamie chose the daily special, Cinnamon (Photo 6). They were soft and tasty, quite comparable to Leonard's albeit a tad smaller. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing since we had dinner ahead of us. However, we let temptation get the best of us and shared a $5.50 slice of the Ube Haupia Mac Nut Bar, a yummy combination of sweet potato and ube topped with haupia (coconut milk pudding) on a macadamia nut crust (Photo 9).

I know I will, happy to spend even more down the road- so many to choose from, trust me this place ain't unique in my experience.

I didn't care for the mochi with the sweet soy sauce on it although I know that's what Japan is known for. And the fresh mango mochi was good. The only thing I didn't like was the Lima bean paste inside. I'm not a fan of that. I would recommend eating fast since it's fresh and the wetness of the mango can make the mochi soft and rip.
