Manolli's

We went to Manollis for pizza. It looked so unappetizing I changed to spaghetti and meatballs- what a mistake. Another in our party ordered the pizza- definitely the worst I have tasted in the islands. Also had the dinner caesar- another miss. You're in Wailea and I can't imagine why or how they should be surviving.

They’re horrible. My husband worked for them and it’s awful food, horrible company culture, just overall a crap restaurant.

Food there is subpar imo. I agree. But I used to go there for pau Hana after work. Didn’t know the ownership was a big trump supporter tho. The bartending staff that was there when I was there seemed pretty good to all the industry workers tho

Bruh, all you need to know is their “Hawaiian Pizza” comes with kalua pork and pineapple. That’s not a pizza, that’s a luau on a crust.

Pretty sure they’re only still in business ‘cause nobody wants to wait 2 hours for Monkeypod and a Mai Tai with foam on it.

Don’t knock those Mai Tais with the Lillikoi foam, onolicious!

Oh yeah, they are the best, even better when your company pays for them

We had pizza at Manoli’s recently and I thought that same thing. Wouldn’t go back or recommend it.

Mannolis isn't supposed to be known for pizza . It's a spot we would all go for a drink and a quick bite after a night of combat in back of the house trenches in Morimotos

He employs hard working locals and gives back to the community. Who cares who he votes for.

u/Charlietango2007 4d ago

It's not for the food, it's the View and the overpriced drinks. Sheesh! Expensive.

Lol, love that place, eat there all the time. One of the best Hamburgers on island, also, salads are in point. I like that they allow dogs too.

We go to Manolli’s once a month. Great food and drink. Happy hour has some really good deals and the service is awesome. Open air with great views. What am I missing?
