Wonderful dining experience. The service, atmosphere and food were impeccable. Lana was our server and she was absolutely fantastic. We would come back just to see her again! The bar nearby had live music playing and it was incredibly enjoyable as we sat on the terrace. We will definitely be back on our next trip to Oahu. Thank you again Lana for a memorable dining experience!

This is our go to place for a nice casual dinner that always tastes great. The menu rotates just enough to enjoy favorite dishes and try new things in between. We come about once a month and we've never had a bad meal here!

About the restaurant

Best view in Ko Olina, with valet service by the Four Seasons. Mānalo Lounge – meaning ‘sweet water’ in Hawaiian, celebrates Hawaii’s diverse mix of cultures, paying homage to the flavors of Asia and across the greater Pacific. The outdoor breeze in a comfortable, relaxed environment lets us take it easy while enjoying top-quality pupus. Akin to the saying, 'Ae Kai - to bring together the land and sea to serve as a gathering place, Mānalo Lounge serves as a welcoming intersection to gather with family and friends for dinner, in a contemporary, yet casual setting at the water’s edge.

About the restaurant

Piko is a local style hangout where you can sit back, relax and enjoy pau hana. In reference to its meaning, “the center where life begins,” Piko brings to life the food, lifestyle and aloha we know and love in Hawaii. Think shared plates of garlic noodles, mochiko chicken, dynamite fries and bao buns in a place you won’t want to leave.

Blistered Green Beans - Asked to have them plain for the kiddos since hey can't take any spice. Really great that they could accommodate. Kids ate them up! Okinawan Soba Noodles - They really should rename this item because they are not soba noodles. They are made with egg noodles and it's a garlic noodle. It does not mention in the ingredients that it is spicy so if you can't take spice, I would not suggest this one or maybe ask if they can remove it. However, it is very tasty, especially with the egg yolk mixed in. Goes well with a protein! Bao Buns - Decent but nothing to rave about. All the ingredients pair well together. The meat was a bit dry. Mochiko Chicken - Chicken was tender and tasty. The rice wasn't exactly furikake rice, but just a white rice with furikae sprinkled at the heap of it.

Little Italy was charming, we liked the replica of Magnum PI Ferrari smack in the middle of the restaurant. My Veal Piccata was delicious and service was very attentive. Prices very reasonable.. Would definitely revisit ..
