The story
Longhi's Ko Olina sits along the sun-drenched Ko Olina coastline in Kapolei, Hawaii, carrying forward a restaurant legacy that has long been associated with generous Italian cooking and an equally generous approach to wine. The location — at 92-161 Waipahe Place — places it within one of Oahu's most sought-after resort destinations, where the Pacific sets a dramatic backdrop for a meal rooted in Italian tradition.
Wine Spectator recognized Longhi's Ko Olina with its Award of Excellence, a distinction that speaks to the seriousness with which the restaurant approaches its cellar. For guests seeking Italian food paired with a thoughtfully curated selection of bottles, that recognition offers meaningful reassurance. Whether you arrive for lunch or dinner, the wine program is as much a part of the experience as the food itself.
Longhi's Ko Olina serves both lunch and dinner, making it a natural choice across the day for visitors staying along the Ko Olina strip or locals making the drive to Kapolei. The Italian menu and the relaxed yet polished atmosphere reflect a restaurant that takes its craft seriously without demanding formality in return — a balance that suits the easy rhythm of coastal Hawaii rather well.
