Reviews
"Excellent!!! They are a true mom and pop shop restaurant. They use homemade ingredients. This is not a chain fed restaurant. Get reservations if you can. They served us pretty fast with all that being said. Perfect meal. They are very passionate about their great food."
"The meal you never want to end. We are in awe of Claudia and Gino, their warmth, hospitality, and inspirational menu. Each dish is thoughtfully balanced in flavors and every bite is a piece of heaven. Traveling the world in pursuit of culinary experiences, we’ve found that the Gnocchi often separates the good chefs from the great. Needless to say, Gino cooks them to perfection, rivaling the Michelin rated restaurants we’ve enjoyed. Little pillowy clouds in an amazing Gorgonzola sauce with truffles. The Ceviche is equally good, cut and prepared just before serving, and combination of flavors is spot-on. The squid ink pasta with lobster, squid, and shrimp is also highly recommended. If you are a foodie, you owe yourself a meal here."
"Sheer perfection for lunch yesterday. My friend treated me to lunch at Cipriano's Kitchen Kawaihae and it was sublime. I had the Kona Lobster Ravioli, and he had the Ube Gnocchi with added shrimp. The pasta was soft and perfect, and the flavors were subtle and well balanced. There are maybe a dozen tables, so make sure to reserve a table before you arrive to guarantee your spot! Five stars for this elevated family restaurant."
"Our first visit here, ( visiting from Vancouver B.C.) and all I can say is Wow! What a great experience our lunch was. The flavors and presentation of the food were amazing...so fresh and unique. Hard to describe in words. The owners and servers are lovely and friendly and want you to be happy. We cannot wait to return again! I think reservations are essential to ensure a table. Enjoy!"
"My family and I had an amazing dining experience here! The owners were extremely welcoming and informative about all the dishes, where they come from, and how they were made. We had both cocktails and mocktails which were delicious and made with fresh ingredients from the island. We also ordered all the specials for the day which were amazing. Just order whatever is recommended and you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend everyone go there for the food, atmosphere, and company."
