Flavors of Italy are coming to Hawaii’s sunny Kohala Coast. Hilton Waikoloa Village announced the opening of Nui Italian, the resort’s newest restaurant set to open Sept. 13.
At Nui Italian, diners will be treated to an authentic, family-friendly experience. The restaurant will feature an open-air dining area, with the pizza oven serving as a focal point with its decoratively tiled, open wood-flame oven where kiawe wood-fired pizzas will be hand-crafted in full view of guests. In addition, families will be invited to food and company in the indoor lounge, or to enjoy their meal in the light and airy garden area.
At the helm will be chef Gino Cipriano, who will craft Italian favorites from the freshest locally sourced ingredients. Hailing from Sicily, Cipriano brings his Italian roots to this new restaurant. Cipriano spent the start of his career exploring the nuances of Italian cuisine, serving in resorts from Venice and Florence to Taormina and Rome. He continued his career in both Paris and the U.S. at resort restaurants in Miami and San Francisco.
