I had a happy hour white and happy hour red. Usually I don't like Chardonnays, but that was the best i've had... the Red was good too, but nothing like that white! and for $4 a glass, that's a deal!

I felt really let down by my experience at Formaggio and the bill was the icing on the disappointment cake. First of all, I'm not sure why this is categorized as Greek and Mediterranean. It's not....

TOO EXPENSIVE! Food is not that tasty. The servers are alright. Try better formaggio, I'm rooting for you. You have a sweet spot in Kailua.

I'll admit it. I'm a foodie. So for me to give 4 stars is a good indicator. I would agree with previous reviewers in that the food is somewhat over-priced, but honestly, considering the other options...

It is a wine enthusiast atmosphere/hang out. The food was not all that. Do not get the soft crab or foundue. If you are strictly into wine, this is the place for you.
