    Let me say first that our server, Helen, was a rock star! She had our table, maybe one or two more and then a party of 30!! She never ignored us and made certain we got what we needed immediately. Now about the restaurant. We were aware that the prices might be high because they don't allow you to see them in advance! I got a salad and added chicken and it was $41!!!!!! Everything was WAY overpriced. The setting is beautiful and it is located in the Hilton Waikoloa Hotel but we will NEVER go back. A large pizza was $71! It is so hard when we travel to Hawaii to eat out and not pay a fortune. We will seek out local favorites in the future.

    We ordered a half of the Roma pizza, a Neapolitan 4 cheese pizza and the Roasted Cauliflower dish. Everything was delicious and nice selection of wines by the glass. With the option of a 5 oz or 8 oz pour. Good food and friendly staff. Their menu is diverse. Something for everyone. Looking forward to dining here again.

    Absolutely delicious pizza! Our server was very helpful, personable, and had a good sense of humor. We were seated so we could see the sunset - which was gorgeous! It was a memorable evening!

    Truly amazing cuisine! The most unusual bruschetta I’ve ever had and the Neapolitan pizza perfection.

    Long wait for service and then rushed to order drinks and entrees immediately. No tap beer and drinks WAY overpriced. Wrong entree provided. Long waits for server between visits. BTW …Apple Maps provides poor location.

    Nui is a resort restaurant that relies on its relative convenience to outside options instead of quality and value. The fish ($55), the only non-dairy option, was dry and overcooked. The meatballs ($44) were like something I could get at the local deli. Nothing special.
