Spaghetti Vietnam-atriciana and plates of fresh crudi topped with Calabrian chile crisp have arrived in Chinatown. Giovedi, the inventive pop-up restaurant formerly in Kaka‘ako, has moved to a permanent space on Hotel Street, next to Fête, bringing to the neighborhood a fusion of classic Italian dishes and flavors from Asia courtesy of chefs Bao Tran and Jake Saito, and Jennifer Akiyoshi. No longer limited to a prix fixe menu, Giovedi will offer an à la carte dinner menu and a new cocktail and wine program. It’s expected to open early this summer.
