Hidden gem. Very quaint.
We we were pleasantly delighted with Mezzo. My wife had an excellent crispy pork belly appetizer (we shared) and I had a wonderful Fois Gras with toasted bread and a really great red wine reduction sauce as an appetizer. The Fois was perfect.
For dinner, I had the lamb chops and my wife had a really good – and generously big – ribeye steak. To top things off, we ordered the Mezzo affogato, with chopped nuts and a nut liqueur. It was a perfect way to top things off.
The wine selection is good, but we opted to buy a really good bottle from Fujioka’s wine shop, right next door, and pay the corkage.
The ambiance is great….there was a jazz trio (was a third Thursday evening thing but I hear they are moving to third Monday’s – check).
While the staff were super nice and professional when they were attentive, they could have done a better job of looking around more often – there were gaps that were too long between service.
We spend probably more than the average couple – we like variety and good food. If you do too, this place could be for you.
We will certainly be back.

Mezzo! I’m a huge fan!
The ambience was nice moderate noise, TV with sports on and a bar! Need I say more?!
Was a fun environment! It’s a hole in a wall but lovely and a charming place! Met the owners behind the bar, they were very friendly and service was prompt ! They were so nice that they discounted us because we are new locals of Hawaii!
Food was nothing short of amazing and prices were decent and affordable!
We ordered:
Garlic bread – was a 10/10 crispy, soft, super tasty, garlic was definitely
Garlic cream shrimp scampi with mushrooms! 10/10 Definitely yummy ! I crave it! Perfectly cooked noodles, noodles to sauce ratio was on point! Sauce was so delicious you can taste the garlic perfectly cut with the cream!!! Nice big portion for 2 people !
Prosciutto pizza – 10/10 thin crust, lots of prosciutto! super ono !!!
Oysters – 10/10
were amazing and super fresh!
Tiramisu – 10/10 one of the best tiramisu on the island!
Alcohol drinks were strong and affordable 10/10
Will definitely come back to this place and be a regular!

The food was ok. For a 4.8 star rated Italian restaurant I expected the food to be much higher quality. The cheese was bought pre-shredded which was surprising. The mushrooms were very large and not cooked as long as I would like. The service was excellent and friendly. Parking was a bit cramped but plenty of spaces. All in all I don’t think this should be so highly rated but not below 4 stars. You’ll have a good meal, but don’t expect to be blown away by some nextevel Italian food. My belief is this is a very popular local spot that has built relationships with their clientale and that is why the rating is so high, not because it’s the best Italian in Honolulu.

Went here with a few friends and coworkers to try. None of us has ate here before…we will go back here…nah, it was alright.
Parking is convenient since they are located on market city center, however finding parking on a Friday immediately after work…is a bit challenging.
The interior of the restaurant has an almost similar look to the previous restaurant formaggio wine bar. So not much effort on “change”.
Service was OK. There were times we were waiting and looking around for service, towards the end of the night, they came more frequent. Our drinks and food came out whenever it was ready. Our group of 5 people, we first ordered 3 different types of drink. It took awhile for all the drinks to come. I figured highballs took a while to make vs an old fashion that’s why the highballs came out later…
Food was good, Local style Italian type dishes. We ordered crispy pork belly, Mezzo board, bruschetta, and the Mediterranean pizza (small pizza for the price). All were delicious, the pork belly, Mezzo board, bruschetta are my favorite. They also adjusted the bruschetta order for the 5 of us, since it’s usually 4 pieces, that was nice. The other dish in my photos was the special, I forgot the name but was seared fish with a mildly spiced sauce on a gray plate. It was delicious.
With the addition of price, since we ordered lots of drinks, and was there from 6pm to 10pm, it was not bad. About 60 to 75 a person. As we were leaving, seems like lots of groups/parties come to this restaurant, I don’t suggest it to be a date night…the groups, including myself was loud.
Lastly, there were several dishes I still wanted to try, maybe I’ll buy it for take out. Good size menu…everything is shareable.

We went to Mezzo Bistro & Bar to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. The food tasted very delicious. We enjoyed our meal very much. We will definitely come back again to try out the other food options.

This is the best restaurant in all the land! Great food, great service, great prices, parking was easy too. If I could rate it more than five stars, I would. Nathan, June & Johnny took such good care of us. The atmosphere is so comfortable, stylish and inviting. The food was top notch. We had the charcuterie board, the cheese mushroom bread, lamb, shimp scampi, tirmasu, the affagato coffee, all of it was incredibly tasty, every single dish was well made, well presented and the price of the entire experience was refreshing. Cheers to these guys making a great place to dine and enjoy time together. We are excited and eager to return for more . I’m happy and honored to write a review for such a fine establishment!

This bistro could be easily missed but once you step in it feels like a charming bistro with a whiskey bar and dining area. Due to its location, they are not crazy busy despite the nice ambience. I made a reservation since it was Friday night but I think people could still walk in and there will still be space. I shared a 6″ margerita pizza and garlic shrimp scampi pasta. Plating is really beautiful, our pizzas came on a wooden block. They also made a nice mocktail if you order one (not included in the menu). It is a quieter restaurant so it is perfect for date nights, deep conversations with friends or more intimate events.

Stopped in here for light appetizers and a few dinks with friends. Everything we ordered was served with meticulous care.
I got an Old Fashion and was more than pleased. The apps were on point. Escargot was not a sloppy oily mess, Seafood Trio was an excellent selection, and the Duck was succulent. This place is definitely going to get a few more visits from me.
The service is impeccable. This group knows how to deliver a positive culinary experience

7/19/23. We came in for our 1 year anniversary dinner.
Amazing everything. From the atmosphere, of the restaurant to the staff, to the food everything was a bit.
We were welcomed right away at the bar and shown our table fast even though the place was packed. Decor was great, lighting great, and the place was very clean. Drink order were taken quick and came out timely. Our glasses were never once empty, and we never felt once like we were looking for our server/waiter.
Onto the food, for our starters we got the bruschetta and the escargot. Bruschetta came out first, the bread was soft and every flavor from the tomato to garlic to olive oil came through. Onto the highlight, the escargot was really in a league of its own. Not to take away from any of the other food here but we were really blown away by the texture, and flavor of the escargot. Presentation alone was great, so much so we forgot to take a picture until we were almost completely done. Our entree was a suggestion from our waitress, a mix of the mezzo meatballs with their puttanesca sauce. The meatballs had a great soft texture and worked really well with the rich and robust flavor of the olives in the tomato sauce. We ended the night with their mud pie which was like an ice cream cake, not too rich, not too sweet, it was really great!
Suggestions were great and I’d change nothing about the meal, we got the meet one of the owners too, Jun, who was really nice and welcoming. Thanks again!

My family and I went to Mezzo Restaurant on September 12th, 2025 while celebrating a very special occasion my son proposed to his girlfriend that evening, and we had all flown out from California to share in the moment. The atmosphere was wonderful, warm, and inviting, which made it a perfect spot for such a memorable night.
The service was on the slower side that was a bummer and it took a while for our food to come out, but once it arrived, everything was absolutely delicious. The garlic bread, in particular, was amazing so good that it deserves a spot as an option on the menu so guests can order extra. The restaurant itself was a little tricky to find with signage that wasn’t very clear, but once inside, we were glad we made the effort.
Overall, it was a beautiful evening with outstanding food and a great atmosphere, and despite the slow service, the experience will always stand out as a wonderful part of our celebration.
