    Overpriced mediocre food. Selection was limited. Service was good but food was either too salty or bland depending on the dish ordered. Will not try again.

    Subpar Italian Food and Sky-High prices. For the resort prices, the least they can do is up the quality so the food tastes good. The only thing that saved the night was a very nice server.

    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.

    unsophisticated and overpriced. felt like the menu was very held back to meet the lowest common denominator. The fresh pasta was good but rich.

    Our server never once came back and filled my wife’s water glass. I ordered chicken Parmesan and cheese was never offered for the spaghetti. The manager checked on us but our server never did.

    Die Speisen entsprechen wenig der italienischen Küche. Handwerklich fehlerhaft, Muschelsplitter in den Nudeln, Nudeln zu weich gekocht, Parmesan fehlt am Tisch….

    Complete Rip-off! Go elsewhere, this business was empty, most likely due to the ridiculous prices. Extremely overpriced and the food sucked. I had a half sheet of pizza, I mean bread with a little tomato sauce and cheese on it ($38.00) really. Dominos makes a better pizza. Wife had a sub-standard salad with no protein $28.00 - basic dinner salad. Dinner was $100 ridiculous. Only positive was that the staff was nice, most likely because they are local and need a job. Whether it’s a resort or not, they need better marketing and quit ripping people off for basic food!
