Nui Italian - Waikoloa Village

Very nice hotel restaurant, with amazing sunset views. Food was very good and tasty. One huge pro: The View (if sitting on the patio) 2 drawbacks: the portions are too big, and on the expensive side. They could easily cut them in half, and adjust pricing accordingly. Bruschetta is never made with ciabatta bread which tends to become soggy.

Did I come for the food or the view? Was it my friends or the experience. I can't say that the food alone made Nui Italian special rather it was the package deal. From the amusing staff, to the artwork, the architecture, and the views of natural beauty all of this generates a time worth having. If you haven't made time to visit this restaurant and your already at the Hilton then give it a shot. If you are missing Italian food then perhaps this will hit that mark. Or if yourlike me you came here by happenstance and will just have to make do with what's fallen in your lap

The ambience of the Hilton is like a theme park of cultural appropriation and stolen artwork, sleek and beautiful, but hollow and tainted. To their credit, they were able to accommodate my allergies well, although they only had one dish that could be gluten free and vegan on their menu. The penne primavera was tasty and the vegetables were cooked to perfection, but the dish lacked heart, personality?the flavors were kind of muted. Was it a good plate of pasta? For sure.Was it worth $28 with $9 drinks? Probably not. My friends ordered a Roman pizza to share and they were quite pleased with it?seemed to feed 4 people well. Perhaps that?s a better deal?

Go here if you want to be rushed through dinner and not able to enjoy a meal because of workers rushing you.

My wife and I decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary at Nui during our stay at the Hilton Ocean Towers. We had a great experience. We started by bellying up to the bar for drinks and an app. We then were seated for dinner with a great view ready to watch an amazing sunset. The food was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was perfect. Thank you Nui Italian.
