Osteria Mozza Lana'i

Our reservation was st 5:30 and we were lucky to have a beautiful sunset view in the remodeled restaurant. Our server, Alexcel, took the time to explain every pasta dish to us in detail. We loved the buffalo mozzarella and the orracciette with fennel sausage, chard and breadcrumbs on top. We also enjoyed the potato and bacon pizza. The chopped salad was a little underwhelming, as well as the Emilio cocktail. Martinis were top notch, though. The portion sizes were great and we left very satisfied. The service was friendly and prompt and made us feel well taken care of. We actually spent less than we thought we would and were even offered complimentary dessert.

One of the most disappointing restaurant experiences I have had. We were excited to hear that the place would reopen just before our stay and I booked a table for our first night. We had eaten at the previous incarnation which was ok for dinner and actually very good for breakfast. The new place - at least the menu/food/pricing - is a disaster. I am totally cool with high prices, but this was absurd. The Tagliolini was a single serving sized portion of butter+garlic noodles on a white plate dropped in the center of the table “family style”. Some grated cheese on the top. No protein on it, no special ingredient (truffle or something). Nothing. Literally a plate of noodles in a butter/cream sauce with a strong garlic flavor. $54. Even at the FS on Lanai that is nuts. The “deconstructed” Caesar salad at $36 was bad. Like 4 hearts of romaine with an egg and some dressing and cheese. Assembly required. The Margherita pizza was crust and tomato sauce with white dollops of cheese. Mostly tomato. $45. Mediocre and absurdly priced. No matter where you are in the world if you are selling a chese pizza for $45 it needs to be outstanding. This one you would not go back for if it was at a neighborhood restaurant back home. I would suggest the GM of the resort needs to experience this place for himself and come up with a new plan. The venue is awesome but the current formulation does not work and does not reflect the high quality of the rest of the resort. Nobu is expensive but good. The Break upstairs is excellent.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience. Manager Chloe Darnel was exceptional—warm, professional, and clearly dedicated to creating a fantastic dining atmosphere. The food was delicious from start to finish, featuring outstanding homemade pasta, a wonderful dinner, and an equally incredible breakfast the next morning. The views are breathtaking, and the entire staff was attentive and welcoming. Truly an outstanding restaurant in every way.

Stunning setting with incredibly disappointing food for the price point. It was fine dining prices & quantities for pretty much average quality service & food, some food was even below average with insanely rich flavors that made us sick later in the evening. The service was fine, our particular server kept forgetting about us whether it was to take our order, refill our wine glasses from the bottle, refill our water, or bring us the check. All the other employees were great though.

Incredible views, great staff… food is ok and some of the worst pricing I’ve ever seen. Think Aspen, LA, SF, NY but 2x worse. Food sizing is below average to add salt to the wound. I’d go to Malibu farms on the property any day instead. After spending well into thousands a night to stay on the property, it’s hard to stomach $175 bills per person for breakfast, $250 per person for dinner. Real shame.

One of the Best octopus I’ve had! Super tender! I’m guessing they sous vide it to create such a tender bite! Ambiance is fantastic and service is unmatched!

We heard the same two questions when each customer arrived: have you heard of Osteria Mozza? No. The menu was designed by Chef Silverton? OK…? The concept of this new restaurant at the Four Seasons is fine. It’s a basic Trattoria style set in an incredible setting. The views are gorgeous. It’s a nice place to eat. The food, however, all left the kitchen without being tasted by a chef. It’s now two hours later and we have regrets. It started with a mozzarella menu. The mozzarella was fine but it was accompanied with an olive oil soaked bread. I love bread and it was barely edible. It needed washing down with a bottle of wine. The pasta course was interesting. It was a single ravioli shared between two and it was still too rich. We left a half pound of butter swimming on the plate. The fish course was the best of the three, with fish kebabs served over some grains. But it was laden with garlic. So laden that it’s clear that the food was not being tasted by the chef on the way out. So laden that hours later, I feel like I have a small rodent crawling down my throat. A rodent marinated in garlic. To add to this, in my view restaurants need to live in symbiosis with their environment. There was nothing local, in an island that has so much to offer. Not even local fish. What a travesty. Perhaps we are dealing with the teething troubles of a new restaurant trying to find its way. Or perhaps this restaurant is entirely the wrong concept in the wrong place at the wrong time. And then the check comes. It’s not unexpected - you’re the Four Seasons after all - $100/person minimum for food, plus wine, plus taxes and gratuities. $400 for a couple is the low end, and you could easily breach $1000 or more for two. That’s the nail in the coffin - if it was $100, you’d shrug and move on. At these prices it’s totally unacceptable. My advice? Walk 50 feet to the East and book a table at Nobu. You won’t have any regrets over there. But it does pose a problem with Four Seasons customers staying for multiple nights, because there are only two restaurants, and few if any-off-resort options.

Food and staff was great! GF pasta for wife was great. Amazing views and cozy atmosphere. Great for our anniversary dinner.

Listen up you rich pricks (jk but you are staying at the four seasons). Right now you are on vacation and you are just about sick of fish or sushi. So you say "eh this Italian place is probably decent" whatever. Let me tell you- My last name means flower in Italian. I know ball. This shit here? Delicious. Like my grandma from Catazolo is back in the kitchen. Martinis sent from heaven. Cheese is phenomenal. We got the bolognese and another pasta dish (I don't even know what it's called because it came and we mucked it). Cheese is so fresh on everything and the staff was super knowledgeable and eager to help. Extensive wine list too for you snobs. Pizza was great too - nice airy dough and great flavor. So again - come here. Shit was banging. I know in Hawaii we need to appreciate the local culture. And I am all for that 90% of the time. But if you want a little taste of some small NYC italian place - here it is. Love!

The service is five stars as you would expect for a restaurant inside the four seasons, but the prices are completely ridiculous, even for the four seasons. $45 for the simplest margarita pizza and sizes are not even that big. The ambiance is great, obviously being waterfront. Food was good, nothing super memorable.

It was agreed by all, the Grilled Octopus is the most tender we've ever eaten and a great starter. Chef Nancy's Chopped Salad and the Cauliflower Steak are excellent vegetarian options. The outer tables offer a great view of the ocean. Grilled Beef Tagliata was an excellent cut which made it much more flavorful.

We celebrated my besties 40th birthday and booked a pre fixe menu. The team was able to accommodate a last minute request to upgrade to a tamahawk. The appetizers, pasta, and entrees were prepared very well. You can see and taste the quality of the ingredients and work. Alexa our server was extremely personable and made our dinner experience evens better.

Christian the server was amazing and the food was so good. Highly recommend. I had the bolognese and the gelato for dessert. Yummy
