A Slice of Italy Amidst Honolulu's Historic Chinatown

Stepping into Giovedi feels less like a typical downtown lunch spot and more like finding a quiet corner in an Italian piazza. Located right in the heart of the Hotel Street cultural district, this kitchen trades the frantic pace of Honolulu city life for the slow, deliberate craft of handmade pasta. The air inside is consistently warm, thick with the scent of simmering garlic, blooming tomato, and the dry flour dust of a kitchen that never stops working.

The Art of the Daily Dough

The culinary focus here is uncompromisingly fresh. Under the direction of the kitchen team, the menu leans heavily into the traditions of Southern Italy. If you find yourself in the booths during the lunch rush, look for the carbonara; it relies on the sharp bite of quality pecorino and freshly cracked black pepper rather than the heavy cream variations found elsewhere. The noodles have that essential, slightly firm chew—the kind that only comes from being rolled out hours before your arrival.

What to Expect Before You Arrive

There is a specific, bustling rhythm to the dining room. Because the space is intimate, the sound of clinking silverware against ceramic plates echoes quite clearly, adding a lively, social energy to your meal. Parking near this corner of the district can be a test of patience, so consider using a ride-share or opting for the nearby municipal lots if you aren't already wandering through the neighborhood on foot. It is an ideal spot for professionals seeking a refined midday escape or those exploring the nearby art galleries who want a meal that feels personal rather than manufactured.

From the yummy craft cocktails.. old fashion with a banana twist to it.. out of this world. The scallop appetizer (my favorite)and the nairage crudo superb! Dan mien and mushroom donburi also delicious 😋.. the dessert special yum! The wait staff were very attentive and delightful!! We will return!

We just had a wonderful dining experience at Giovedì, where Italian food is served with a pan-Asian flair. Every single dish we sampled was exceptional. We ordered the Scallop Carpaccio, the Nairagi Crudo (striped marlin), the Spaghetti Arrabbiata, the Gnocchi Mapolonese, and the Char Siu Pork. While every dish dazzled us, the Nairagi Crudo, containing sliced marlin, Calabrian chili crisp, charred eggplant, and mint, was our favorite. Elise, our server, was extremely attentive and helpful. It turned out to be a memorable evening. We can’t wait to go back. Highly recommended! Before tipping, we spent $176 for a two-person meal (no alcohol, no dessert, 2 mocktails, 2 appetizers, 2 pastas, and 1 protein).

It took me way too long but my wife and I finally made it to Giovedi at the strong recommendation of many friends. It was awesome. The moment you step in to the restaurant you feel warmly welcomed. We sat at the bar which we always enjoy doing. The bartender Michael took great care of us and we even had a chance to talk with the owner Jen while we enjoyed the onion dip, green salad, and three pastas - the Capellini Granchio, Spaghetti AOP, and Gnocchi Mapolonese. Soooo delicious. Michael paired up some great wines and needless to say we left very happy. Can’t wait to return to try more of the menu. 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
