This Waikīkī Oasis Has Pasta, Roman Sandwiches and a Crack Seed Sundae with Mochi Crunch
Seek out the new Piccola Onda food truck and Double Fat Ice Cream kiosk next to the Alohilani Resort.
March 8, 2021
Remember Sundays last summer, when Kalākaua Avenue closed to cars and locals cruised down on bikes and Biki, rollerblades and roller skates, and saw Waikīkī anew, devoid of tourists? As the pandemic lessens its grip and tourism returns, it’s unlikely we’ll ever experience Waikīkī like that again. But there are other reasons to return: It is currently the only place you’ll find Piccola Onda and its prepared dishes by Andrea Onetti of Onda Pasta, and Double Fat Ice Cream, Brandon Lee’s old-fashioned(ish) ice cream bar. Up against the backside of Alohilani Resort, on Kealohilani Avenue, and just a block from the beach, the Piccola Onda truck and Double Fat Ice Cream kiosk provide an oasis with a shady, faux-lawn outdoor dining nook.
