Zia's Caffe

Cute and cozy little Italian spot in Kaneohe. The service was good, the food tasted great, and the prices were very affordable for the portion sizes they offered. We had the Tuscan chicken and the Tuscan braised short rib. Will definitely be coming back for an another cute date night!

We visited Zia’s Caffe right after it opened on October 14, and it was one of the best meals we had in Hawaii! The food was absolutely delicious, and the waiter was incredibly kind and professional — you could really feel how proud he was of his work. As visitors from Asia, we’re not very familiar with the tipping culture, so I wasn’t sure if my tip went through properly, and it’s been on my mind ever since. Honestly, this is the kind of restaurant where I’d be happy to give a 100% tip — it was that good!

Server was very quick and on top of everything. The food was delicious. The pasta here tastes so fresh. Portion size: we were shocked that for $18 during lunch you get entire bowl of pasta and a salad.

Enjoyed the terrace for lunch. Earlier reviews made it seem there would be more vegetarian and gluten-free options than they actually offered, but we made do. The risotto was rich in flavor and buttery. Cocktails looked more interesting on paper though.

Great atmosphere and vibe, for sure! Covered Patio has best tables. Chicken Parmesan was served over noodles with basil butter but was too dry overall. Express spaghetti was tasty and larger portion than expected. Friendly staff. Lots of parking.
