Auntie Pasto's - Honolulu

Good food. The Italian soda was absolutely my favorite. Garlic bread, not so much. Small and the thimble of marinara sauce wasn't worth the 7 bucks. Now let's talk about the Eggplant Parm. Round eggplant? Its all good though. Good tasting and it worked for me while traveling to HI. Big portion is what also worked. Super friendly staff and everything was clean. I'll be coming back for sure.

From reading other reviews of this place, I anticipated an affordable Italian meal in a laid back setting, going for an old-school and family vibe as opposed to a more formal, fancy atmosphere like more expensive Italian restaurants. The dishes met my expectations, so I was not disappointed. Affordable, big portions, and good taste. Not the best or most authentic Italian food around, but does okay for the price point. We went on Valentine's day, so we knew it would be busy.

Me and my girlfriend come here for our fancy date nights, and we are always struck by how few people it seems frequent this spot given how amazing the food is. You can tell they make everything fresh, their sauces and cheeses are to die for. The fried mozzarella appetizer can cure all that residual pandemic trauma. It is a bit pricey, but it?s worth it 100%; at Auntie Pasto?s you?re paying for intimacy and authenticity. Cant recommend them higher.

I found myself with extra time between a doctors appointment and having to pick up my kids for school. I decided to take advantage of Auntie Pasto's 8.95 lunch special (I splurged and added Shrimp for $6 or $7), and I'm glad I did. Wednesday was Garlic Oil Pasta, and don't let its simple ingredients detour you! This bowl of pasta was full of flavor, and each bite was as addicting as the next! I wa surprised when my special was served with fresh bread and a side side
