We absolutely loved it! The manifredo pasta was excellent!! We also enjoyed the Maria salad. The pizza was delicious also. The service was very good and the place was decorated with beautiful paintings and it was very clean. Will definitely return.

OlIt's a 100 mile round trip from Pepeekeo, but Dom de Lucas is worth the drive. Best Italian food on the BI for our money.

We live in Kona, which is roughly an hour away from this restaurant, but ever since we stumbled upon this wonderful restaurant, we've been returning every couple of weeks -- worth it. The pasta is amazing, the service is prompt and welcoming, and... did I mention the pasta? Prices are very reasonable, and it's worth every cent. I'd recommend this restaurant to any fan of pasta, no doubt about it.

Had a great night at Dom De Luca's tonight. The service was outstanding, the food was excellent. Great portions with lots of leftovers. Ambiance is comfortable and relaxed. The servers were super professional, warm, and all worked together really well. It felt like a team that really likes to be there, likes each other, and know how to support each other.

Shiori was our server for my friends birthday. We ordered the pesto rigatoni pasta and bolognese rigatoni. IT WAS TO DIE FOR. Absolutely incredible. We also got two pizzas, meat lovers and margarita. All hand made and wonderful flavors. Drink wise we had Chianti Classico (rooster) and 2 Old fashions. The drinks were spot on and perfectly made and the wine perfect with our meals. The scenery around the resteraunt inside and out was beautiful. Catch a super early dinner and enjoy the Waimea lifestyle and local food/people. You wont regret it!Thank you Shiori for an amazing time!

They seemed a bit understaffed at the time, but the food exceeded my expectations -- it was absolutely divine. It is the best Italian food on the island in my opinion.Parking: I was able to park right at the front door. The parking lot is shared with several other businesses, so it can get a bit crazy at certain hours, but you'll find close parking usually, and if you don't want to circle around, just park at the huge parking lot across the street and walk over (2 min).

Very impressed by friendly and warm wait staff as well as the quality of the food! Loved the delicious and crispy pizza crust and fresh ingredients in the Cesar salad. Because we shared the dishes (2 older couples who were touring the island all day and did not want to face the crowds on Kailua)we decided on a light bite, but would have loved to try the other dishes if we were hungrier... next year!

We drive up from the beach resorts for dinner here and it's always well worth the drive. It's a quant, neighborhood Italian food restaurant with lots of ambiance. This time we enjoyed the chicken Caesar bruschetta, chicken Marsala and Carbonara. Delicious. Especially the carbonara which was made authentically with eggs. And to top it all off our server was friendly and attentive. This has become our place to visit when we are on the Island!

Excellent authentic Italian food and friendly service. Only negative is the bathroom is outside and a bit sketchy.
Our go to spot for a night out. We enjoy the friendly servers, homemade pasta and pizza. The servers are welcoming and the food is consistently good. Shrimp scampi w/ pasta add scallops, tiramisu. I also like their pizzas. I enjoyed the Greek w added pesto and mozzarella. Thank you DDL.

Dropped in out of the blue on what was supposed to be a 'close' day but they were open & we lucked out!! Service was great from the moment we stepped in the door & the food was great! The cocktail menu is awesome! The New Fashioned is a treat! Looking forward to coming back!
