Ferraro's Restaurant & Bar

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Ferraro's Restaurant & Bar holds a singular distinction on Maui: it is the only oceanfront open-air restaurant in Wailea. Set within the Four Seasons Resort Maui, it brings coastal Italian cuisine directly to the edge of the Pacific, where dinner unfolds beneath an open sky with the ocean as backdrop.

Coastal Italian, Right on the Water

The kitchen's focus is authentic coastal Italian — the kind rooted in simplicity, quality ingredients, and the clean flavors of the Mediterranean translated to a Hawaiian setting. A standout on the menu is the Kona Lobster, sourced from Hawaiian waters and prepared in the Italian coastal tradition. Dining here at night, with the Pacific stretching out beyond the open-air terrace, gives the experience a character that fully enclosed resort restaurants rarely achieve.

A Wine List Worth the Attention

Ferraro's earned the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023, a recognition that speaks directly to the depth and curation of its cellar. For a restaurant where Italian cuisine is the anchor, a well-considered Italian and international wine program is not incidental — it is central to the meal. The award confirms that the list holds up to serious scrutiny.

The Setting

The open-air format means the atmosphere shifts with the evening: the last light over the water, the sound of the ocean, the warmth of a Maui night. It is the kind of setting that requires no embellishment. The resort context — Five Stars, Four Seasons hospitality — ensures that service and detail match what the location promises.

For anyone seeking Italian food in Wailea with a view that is genuinely unmatched on the island, Ferraro's is the clear address.
