    We had a dinner reservation for 2, directed to our table and found 1 menu. Ordered house salad, drenched in dressing and soggy. Ordered coffee after meal and it was cold. Obviously server poured old coffee and never checked. Ordered a keoki coffee and she didn’t know the drink, checked with bartender, and told us twice she was working on it, we finally decided to cancel the keoki coffee. In fairness, the restaurant is understaffed. But the high prices do not justify the poor food quality. Much better dining experiences in town. We try to support local Kailua businesses and thought we would try Formaggio since it’s been awhile since we last dined there. Hugh disappointment. Sadly, we won’t return.

    Outstanding Italian Grill with a live band and great bar atmosphere. The food and service were excellent. Met the owner and there were many locals enjoying their evening. Short but reasonably priced wine list, with a little more than a dozen selections. The rigatoni with local pork in a crème tomato sauce was excellent. I will definitely come back again!

    The food was very good. I was able to actually make a reservation on the day of the event. There was nice Hawaiian music playing from a local band up until about 8:30 or 9 o’clock. Our waiter was good. The only drawback was that my one request Was to have them sing happy birthday to my boyfriend. They brought out a piece of tiramisu with a candle in it and he said we don’t sing happy birthday and walked off sing happy birthday to myself and all in all I look forward to going back. It’s very hard to find a place where you can book reservations online Here in Kailua for that reason they’ve won my business.
