KP Lihue

Yep! 5 stars. Not many of my reviews deserve 5 stars but Kauai Pasta Lihue hit all the checks on my list on this visit, my first. Except for the lack of parking on the premesis, the whole experience was extremely pleasant and pleasurable. Staff was attentive and super friendly and professional. The food was so flavorful and presented well. The place was full with patrons on a Tuesday but we did not have to wait for a table. The music was present but not obtrusive. It created a trendy cool vibe. The ambience was classy but not overly so. Prices were upscale but honestly, for the whole package, there were right there in a sweet spot. So very highly recommend. Your experience may not be ours but we are so glad we ate here at KP Lihue.

Greeted right away. Solo diner. I didn't feel rushed, Jen was incredible and the food runner was entertaining. I loved the Spaghetti meatballs with meat sauce, you get 3 meatballs with your dinner, all made in house except the pasta. I wouldn't get the ceasar. If you want chopsalad. The dressing was okay but I wish they had anchovies mashed in their dressing. The calamari was just over crispy making it chewy, but the sauce on the calamari delicious. Ended up with a brownie to end my meal, instead of lamperts ice cream you could use hagendaz would be nice. Thank you.

Don’t mind that we ate most of the bruschetta, it was great! Large portions, really great service. I love how the noise of the space was just right for intimacy and could speak across the table. Loved the meatballs. We were a party of two.

Excellent Chicken Parm !! Whenever we Come to Kauai from Ohio we have to eat at KP at least once during our trip. We love their sauce !! Wonderful atmosphere. Food comes out hot. Our waitress Mera was excellent ! We hope to come back in 2 years and we look forward to dining here again. !!

A+ This place impressed me.We had just landed in Lihue and we needed a meal very badly. This restaurant is very close to the airport. It's got a great ambience and the food was just incredible. We opted for their daily special that got us a side salad, a pasta entree and some garlic bread. We ordered ice tea as well which turned out very refreshing. The whole meal experience was close to perfect! Good ambiance, delicious Italian food and even better service. Special mention to Jackie our server who was attentive and friendly. I highly recommend this place!
