Formaggio's is a great place to start your cool down after a hard working day. Formaggio has 2 locations- one in Kailua and one in Honolulu. I love the Honolulu location, on the bottom of Market City Shopping Center, in between Ben Franklin and Fujioka's Wine Shop. Parking is a little difficult, as the spaces fill up fast. Might take a bit of waiting and a drive-around to find a space. Just be patient, Formaggio's is worth it!
Prices are a little high, but if you have a few bucks to spare, this place is a must-try. Their menu is full of rich, delicious entrees that are nice to share, and they also have a section on wines with a description of each. Nice for amateurs like myself :P
Smoked Salmon Carpaccio- this is good with the half baguette! Topped with onions, capers and lemon. |
Wild Mushroom Pizza- with white TRUFFLE OIL!!! If you love mushrooms (and truffle oil!!!) as much as I do, this is awesome! |
Escargot- mediocre. REALLY oily. |
Caprese- pretty colors of vine-ripened tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, sweet basil pesto, and 18 year balsamic vinegar. I love caprese, and you pretty much can't go wrong with this dish. |
I gotta try this place next time I'm in town.. I wanna come next month, for my birthday month. :) Ooo and maybe we can grab a bite together.
