    Wonderful dinner for family of 5. Excellent service next to the beach and ocean during sunset was spectacular. All firsts, appetizers, pasta and fish were perfectly cooked and seasoned. All desserts were equally outstanding. Best meal on Hawaii.

    Best overall restaurant at Hualalai. Excellent papaya salad, fresh fish, blackened chicken rigatoni. Service is consistently excellent and captures the aloha spirit. Incredible views by the water. Just need to bring back the PB&J pie dessert, a signature dish.

    Nui is a great place to go for wonderful and authentic Italian food. The restaurant is located in the Hilton Waikoloa Beach resort here on the Big Island of Hawaii. The service is great and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. It has a large covered open area where the views are lovely and the noise level is low so you can have great conversation during your dining experience. They also have a relaxing bar area to enjoy a quick drink. I highly recommend giving them a try if you are visiting (or living) in Hawaii.
