Wow!!! We were in Italy for a moment so authentic so delicious. We will will make it a point to travel 4000 miles to come back here again. Best meatball I have ever had and best pesto and ravioli my wife has ever had. Texture of homade raviolis is exceptional. Make it a point to come here. Prices are more than reasonable.

I’m gonna be stuck thinking about the amazing food for months now, food is priced amazing and everything tasted incredible. Nicest waiter and very quick to get food out, I can’t imagine not stopping at this restaurant if you’re nearby.

Amazing Ravioli!

Terrible customer service. Had a reservation but when we got there didn’t have a table for us. waited more than 30 mins after our original reservation time with no updates or communications. Didn’t feel welcome so we left.

Pretty disappointed, really wanted to like it. They were out of ravioli, which makes up 1/3 of their menu. We all wanted ravioli so it was a bit of a let down. We ordered the chicken, caprese salad and capellini ragu. The dishes were ok, chicken was dry but pasta was good. Caprese was not worth the price.We waited at least 30 minutes till we got our food from when we ordered and then found out they were out of bread (which is supposed to be complimentary with a meal) sooo we were pretty bummed. Sadly wont be coming back, has a lot of potential but failed to deliver. Also, no drink menu? Also saw them turn people away closing at 8pm, i thought they were open till 9. ?

The service was outstanding but the food was tasteless. Such a great environment would love to go back if the food had flavor.

My husband had ravioli with pesto. Very good! I ordered angle hair pasta with a red clam sauce. Never did find or taste a clam. Now I have a big was of pasta, little sauce, nno clams...and the bread was not very good either. That is $15 of a wad of leftovers for chicken food, I do not need to invest that stuff.

Take out only right now. During Covid days we have been trying to order out for take home at least once a week, something to help the local economy. We found this place by accident, never would have known it was there had I not googled "Italian Hilo" - wahlah! It's FABULOUS. You have to order it by text or phone, pay cash and they bring it to you in the parking lot at the back of the restaurant - but who cares, it was SOOOO YUMMY and a real traditional Italian taste. LOVE it.

Oh thank you Jesus for the best speggetti I have ever had and I have tried alot the dessert was exquisite! I recommend this to anyone!
Had dinner here with friends tonight. First time for me but they had been before. I was very impressed. It's a small place. Hard to notice from the busy Kilauea Ave. The food was great. My friends and I shared a nice caprese salad. One friend had putanesca pasta and the other had ravioli with cheese sauce. I chose capellini with meatballs. We agreed all was delish. Bring your own wine if you want. They don't sell any. They did provide a corkscrew but did not charge a corkage fee! Our hostess/server was very gracious and attentive. Great little secret in Hilo!

Service help was great! But unfortunately, the food was kind of pricey, for how simple the food tasted. The music was kind of annoying because, it was kinda loud for such an enclosed area. The wait was a while before receiving our meal,and the heat of sitting in the small place, was kind of claustrophobic in my personnal opinion. If they would make the place a little cooler*(heat wise), while waiting for meal, or offer adult drinks, I think it would feel a little more cozy. Didn't know till it was time to leave that we could of BYOB, this probably would have made our experience a little less rough. But, appreciated the bread and the service!
