“Came here on Monday night 30 minutes before close. Staff was very friendly and service was quick. I ordered the BBQ chicken plate, and let me tell you the picture can’t do it justice. Juicy and tender chicken packed FULL of flavor. Well worth the money, I will be back again.”

“World-traveling foodie here. Been to Italy and Peru and live in LA where excellent Italian and Peruvian cuisine is prevalent. So hear me when I say that Claudia and Gino’s Italian-Peruvian cuisine at Cipriano’s vies in my experience for the best I’ve had. Incredibly fresh local ingredients, superb bread and pasta made on-site with Italian flour, innovative recipes made with love. Very casual little yellow bungalow where we eat on a shady porch fringed with tropical foliage and from the kitchen comes your moan-worthy meal…”

“Again, everything was impeccable! From the arrival to the end, from the reception to the service, the ambiance, the quality of food and drinks , everything was spotless. Kudos to our waiter, Dean, servicing 12 people with a few people having nuts allergy, he was very friendly, knowledgeable and on top of food at the table. Thank you again, Dean, for making our dinner experience very unforgettable.”

“Totally awesome authentic burger place. My only regret was not ordering another burger. My sister had the Surf Burger and I had the Hi-Heat. On the drive back to our hotel, we just randomly kept saying what a great burger those were. Honestly surprised we didn’t turn around and go back for more.”

“Wow oh ? wow!!!! ? My husband is HUGE donut fan and we are very well aware of malasadas back in my hula days...but we've not experienced it filled with "your choice" jelly filling! And so warm and yummy ? with guava and lilikoi ....blows any jelly donut out of the park! It's right off the highway and it is a MUST stop!
Our daughter-in-law is the biggest jelly donut fan I've met so I'm excited to have her experience Manuela when we come back ....or find them in South Carolina. They have many locations outside of Hawaii...not sure if that's good or bad. My waistline says 'no' ...ha!”
