* Price range: $-$$$
* Cuisine: Italian

The first Italian restaurant to catch your eye as you cruise along Ali'i Drive, it has all the decor of a typical pizzeria: checkered tablecloths, wine-bottle candleholders.

Open-faced restaurant with a great view of the ocean. Drinks are inexpensive, the pizza and pasta is good. The Owner is notorious for sitting down and chatting with tourists. Child friendly, with a good price range on their menu.
