The New Aloha Bay

That is I suppose unless you like feeling awkward and supremely out of place. I'd stop in again if ever I'm in the area and in need of food and libations. I met the owner and he's truly a down to earth kind of guy! Together with his co-owner, Devon Drake, they brought to Kona their restaurant in an attempt to spread their culinary expertise further. I don't know why there have been bad reviews of this place. . I could of made something much more appetizing at home. If you want to go on a Saturday night for drinks and a quick bite to eat don't waste your time.

I am of mixed race and rest assured I have friends and family of all races. This is a fresh start for the sixty year old Italian who was born in Genoa, a Mediterranean sea port in North West Italy. All I can say is go see for yourself how great this bar is! Definitely gives off the beach vibe from the moment you pull into the lot. In summation: Spend your money and time in a more worthy establishment - try Buffalo Wild Wings or one of the other good spots just down the road. All I can say is go see for yourself how great this bar is! Service was horrible for a slow weekend night.

Definitely gives off the beach vibe from the moment you pull into the lot. Waited over 45 minutes for sub par nachos and tacos. I grew up in this area. I don't know why there have been bad reviews of this place. I'm sure this review will not be hidden but take heed of my warning - I told you so. In addition, the location is right off Alii Drive with ample parking. Saffioti moved to Canada with his family in 1969, and his passion for cooking compelled him to travel frequently between Canada, Italy and America, to gain experience at various restaurants.

I love how this place is dog friendly! The shredded cheese on the nachos was hardly melted and there were globs canned chili poured over too. It sits in a former old vacant dilapidated parking lot - which they have failed to pave I might add. You with your black, brown, or tan skin do not bother and those who live in the predominantly black neighboring communities already know! Great place in the summer to hang out, with a tropical feel in the middle of a dirt lot in Sicklerville! The food scene in West Hawaii was first introduced to the authentic Italian cuisine of Aloha Vista, from the home country of Chef Giovanni Saffioti, in 2012. Saffioti enjoys preparing his dishes from scratch and likes to make his own bread, pesto sauce and tiramisu the way it has always been made in the kitchens of Italy. I met the owner and he's truly a down to earth kind of guy! He has studied under many chefs and slowly worked his way up from being a busboy at the age of 15, to being a Chef in his own right in 1983. It attracts more for those of the whiter shades - biker gangs and local trash.

Service was horrible for a slow weekend night. His style embraces a fusion of Mediterranean and Italian cuisines and his love for fresh ingredients shows in his dishes, which are infused with authentic Italian flavor. Not sure what's going on in kitchen but it needs to be addressed. With majestic views of Keauhou Bay and dishes straight from Italy, Aloha Vista is perfect for lunch, dinner, and even happy hour! You can tell its a regulars bar for sure, even the roof is covered in can coozies with regulars' names on them to be used on their next visit. This is mainly for you Yelpers just passing through.

Food that I've tried is basic bar food but tasty and decently priced. The region is well known for excellent Italian cuisine, but especially for its famous pesto sauce. I love how this place is dog friendly! I had been at this bar a couple times a year ago and felt the food and service was much better and professional. Very sad to see this kind of service being that it is the closest bar near me. Not sure what's going on in kitchen but it needs to be addressed.

At Aloha Vista, his authentic recipes for many of the dishes that can be enjoyed at the restaurant, have been the result of his vast experience , as well as his rich heritage. The shredded cheese on the nachos was hardly melted and there were globs canned chili poured over too. Waited over 45 minutes for sub par nachos and tacos. The couple that also ordered after us had their wings come out before our food. I could of made something much more appetizing at home.

Before I go on, I must qualify my next statements. During Chef Saffioti's many travels abroad, he fell in love with the island of Hawaii ,with its unique pace of life, and developed a desire to present the residents of Hawaii with something different in the line of Mediterranean cuisine. Cool little bar that works in a place you would not expect it to. The couple that also ordered after us had their wings come out before our food.
