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.

    素晴らしい対応、ありがとうございました。 ピザとパスタをいただきましたが、美味しかったです。 ハワイ島ではあまり置いてないロングボードがありました。

    Overpriced relative to quality. Fish overcooked. Really disappointing.

    My kids were starving so we really appreciated the quick friendly service and the fact that the food came out right away. Everyone was happy with their dishes, including the kids. We will definitely be back.

    The spaghetti was truly amazing. The pasta actually tastes like it was made in Italy. 00 flour really does make all the difference. The service was excellent. The ambience really doesn’t match what you would think of as fine Italian dining, so that threw us off a bit. But the setting is nice!

    Service was a little slow to start, but after that everything was amazing. Service, food, atmosphere were great.

    The mushroom ravioli and linguine carbonara were tasty. Then Neapolitan pizza’s crust was thicker than we’d like. The Bianco Mangiare was a big disappointment. Just flavorless. Also disappointing was that the waiter seemed to forget about us. Had to ask for a water refill and took a long time for him to take our bill.

    Extremely hard to find. The place looks like a maze. Although, it leaves you with an everlasting impression: death of Island vibe & worst of industrialization.
