Excellent service, amazing food. Highly recommended to experience an exceptional dining in Kona. A must try is the sticky black pepper ribs, risotto, and their tiramisu.

The service was excellent and the food was outstanding. Everything we had was delicious. The whole team, from the back to the front of the house, is fantastic. Hands down best restaurant in town at the moment.

This place is wonderful! The service was excellent and the food is delicious. You have to try the black pepper rib appetizer and white bean dip. We shared the chicken Milanese and agnolotti which were also delicious. The star of the show is the Zeppole for dessert! They are waiting on a liquor license, they’ve only been open a week and allow you to BYOB.

Amazing and delicious menu! This is probably the first time where I have finished every single dish! The kanpachi fritto was delicious, the crisp out of this world. The pasta was also extremely delicious, i had the risotto and my other half had the pappardelle, and both were so good we cleaned the plates haha! This place is certainly what Kona town was missing, we will definitely be back!

The service and the quality of the food were absolutely exceptional! It was nearly impossible to resist ordering the entire menu. Some standout dishes for us included the Stick Black Pepper Ribs, Pappardelle, and Porkchop. For dessert, the Zeppole—a delightful mochi donut filled with lemon and ricotta—was simply unforgettable!
