Review summary

Nui Italian offers a delightful dining experience at the Hilton Waikoloa with "great food and service" in a "wonderful location" featuring ocean views. Guests appreciate the generous portions and family-friendly atmosphere, with standout dishes like the "mushroom ravioli" and "Neopolitan pizza." While prices reflect the resort setting, the memorable meals and beautiful sunsets make it worthwhile.

    Beautiful ocean view that can be spoiled by tram train blocking sunset and did on the night of our reservation. Food was just okay, especially for the price. My husband didn’t eat half of his chicken parm dinner because it lacked tomato sauce and chicken breast and cheese were unusually thick and bland tasting. My Opakapaka fish special was just okay too, nothing memorable. I was there a few years ago and it was much better quality food. Noise level was too high even though we were seated on the outside fringes of the restaurant. Sorry we went!

    My husband and I enjoyed this dining experience. I had the shrimp scampi linguine and he had the chicken parmesan. We enjoyed the focaccia bread and the wine. Wonderful experience at the Waikoloa Village.

    Nui is a pleasant Italian food option located in the Hilton Waikoloa Village. The food is very good, quality preparation and tasty Italian flavors. We have tried both the Neopolitan and on this visit the Roman style. The half-order Roman carne pizza was a well baked deep dish pizza; only miss was we should have asked for extra marinara sauce. We also liked the shrimp app with a nice balance of fennel, arugula, and giant fava beans; I would have liked a little more beans and fennel. Although Island pricing is higher, we feel the experience and service is worth it. Molto bene.

    It was hard to enjoy a meal while kids were using the grassy area next to the dining as play ground.
