Nui Italian

Group of four people. One had tuna and said it had no flavor. Two shared spaghetti, meatballs were good but sauce and noodles were not good. Forth individual had pizza which ended up being the best meal but nothing to brag about. We will not be going back for another meal

Food was excellent. Helen, our server, was great and had good menu suggestions. The manager was friendly and engaging. And the sunset views were incredible. A great meal for our first night of vacation.

Hellen was great! We got the steak and spaghetti and meatballs. The corn with the steak was very good. 

Have dined here multiple times, always have great service and food is consistently very good. MJ made us feel like we are family every time we visit. The new manager, Pasha, welcomed us and ensured any special requests were taken care of. We always leave with a smile on our faces.

Pizza was not as great as we hoped. Very thick crust and not enough sauce. Our other entrees were the spaghetti and meatballs and the chicken Parmesan and spaghetti. Those two dishes were decent enough but for the price you have to pay for those dishes not worth it. Our server was a pleasant enough lady and I know she was busy which probably resulted in her not checking in on us enough. Just slow service. Another larger family came in about 5-10 minutes after us and finished their meal and left well before us. Our server took forever to check in on us and to give us our check. It was not the best experience to pay for that service and quality of food

They we're having a little trouble with their pizza oven but handled it well. Gayle is a super star. She took great care of us. Staff is super friendly.

Pizza was delicious and the carbonara was okay. Service was not great and the atmosphere was not great since there’s kids on tables, crawling all over the floor, running around, screaming.

It is on a resort so that makes sense but if you’re looking for a quiet romantic, nice dinner place, this is not it.

It’s also quite expensive, pastas over $40.

Our server was very friendly and attentive. We had an outside table with great views of the sunset. The food was very good, and came out relatively quickly. We are staying at Ocean Tower and the concierge said reservations were not required, but their website indicated that they were. We had no problem getting a time and table. We showed up a few minutes and were seated immediately. We had a good time watching people trying to get sunset selfies and family group photos. Even got to play photographer for several groups. Overall a very enjoyable dining experience. Prices weren't very far off any other mid to upscale restaurant even though the restaurant is on a resort property. If you want a good pizza, that is the place. Italian ingredients and the flavor of the crust was on point from what I used to get when living in Italy. I had the seared tuna with roasted veggies and potatoes. Cooked perfectly.

1st time here. Had chicken parmesan and spaghetti. The chicken was cooked well and the sauce was very good - that says a lot since I am Italian. The spaghetti was good, but some of the pieces felt like it was just a little undercooked, but overall, it was a good experience. The pricing was a little high but expected due to the location. The dinner was $42, and the tea was $4.

The food was no longer hot by the time it was brought to us, and the service was not great. The only redeeming factor was the spectacular view. I still had a great time, despite it all.

Replacing this restaurant with whatever else would be only beneficial. Pricey food with Italian names that have no resemblance of real Italian dishes. Makes no sense to keep this joint open.

The view is great - we got to see the sunset across the ocean.
Food was disappointing, especially given the cost. Our favorite was the focaccia bread. We also ordered the mushroom gnocchi - they were gummy and maybe half was eaten, risotto was decent, spaghetti and meatballs was a huge let down - meat alls were dry and very hard, (some said way too salty), chicken in chicken parm was good, accompanying noodles not so much and lastly, the croutons in the panzanella were tough and hard to eat. Our waitress was friendly but had too many tables.
Overall, writing this review as we felt it was $350 wasted. If you're hoping for a nice meal choose somewhere else.

Location very convenient as staying in resort ambiance is great view from outside tables is amazing but food was ok servers were nice attentive and friendly

Excellent food and service, but pricey. Not too surprising for a resort in Hawaii. Good sized portions so had plenty of leftovers. Highly recommend just be willing to open your wallet 🙂.

The food was decent—salad good, pizza okay—but overpriced for what we got. We paid $130 (before tip) for one pizza, one drink, a salad, and three kids' meals. Service was poor: our server spent time joking with other tables while we waited too long for drinks, food, and the check. The outdoor seating was loud, and the view was completely blocked by a train—defeating the reason we chose the place. Overall, not worth it. Wouldn't return.
