Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Nui Italian offers a "warm and welcoming atmosphere" with standout pizzas and "creative" dishes like chicken parmesan with a bruschetta twist. While prices reflect its resort location, the "phenomenal" service, particularly from servers like Helen and Shannon, and the beautiful setting make it a memorable dining choice.

    Good News: Salad and pasta dishes we had were good. Bad News: restaurant is noisy, mediocre service at best and little atmosphere. Will not go back.

    I have been eating here over last 4 days . This is the only easily accessible restaurant for dinner in Hilton waikoloa village . It was very very busy. Waitress was patient and fast . They all seem to do their best . Cost here is steep . Their dishes portions are generous for 2 to 3 people . To keep that in mind .

    The dishes were excellent. Everyone in our party of six enjoyed it immensely. Our food did arrive at different times so dinner started sooner for some of us so that their food didn’t get cold. This had the side effect of us sharing food with each other as the dishes came. It was unexpected treat being able to taste multiple dishes despite a little chaos. otherwise I would’ve rated them five stars across the board.

    Delicious authentic Italian pasta, medium level service , clean big facility . Not an upscale Italian facility . Service was good but noticed lack of warmth . Cost is steep but so is every where in Hawaii.

    Overall been here a few times and always had a great time but tonight had multiple issues and disappointments. - order a $20 Manhattan and it tasted watered down. It sat in ice or was shaken for far too long. Probably the least enjoyable Manhattan I’ve had anywhere before - the bruschetta bread was not toasted, has no flavor to it so it tastes dry and almost stale. It was ordered for the group but the 1 piece we had we never finished and would’ve sent back if we ordered the entire thing - the pizza was ok, for $34 it felt over priced even taking account for paying extra for the environment, food quality, high quality ingredients, etc What went well: - The Tiramisu was phenomenal, same with the espresso - our server was fantastic Overall I would come back for desert but when spending $500+ for 6 people it was not worth it and that money was better spent elsewhere unfortunately
