Kai Eats + Drinks Introduces New Italian Dinner Menu on Kailua Bay
September 26, 2025
Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i — Kai Eats + Drinks, the vibrant oceanfront restaurant located along Ali‘i Drive in Kailua-Kona, is excited to announce the launch of its new Italian-inspired dinner menu. This fresh offering blends the restaurant’s playful, local vibe with timeless Italian flavors, providing guests with an all-new evening dining experience on the Kona coast.
The Italian dinner menu features a curated selection of pastas, antipasti, seafood, steak, and classic tiramisu for dessert, designed to pair perfectly with Kai Eats + Drinks’ variety of 48 taps pouring craft beer, cider, wine, and cocktails. Guests can now enjoy rustic Italian flavors while taking in sunset views over Kailua Bay.
“Dinner is a time to gather, to connect, and to share,” said Jolene Mears, Vice President at Luana Hospitality Group. “We wanted to bring something new to our community while keeping that easygoing, fun spirit that Kai Eats is known for. This Italian menu is all about great food, laughter, and making memories right by the water, inspiring all of us to celebrate something every day.”
Since opening, Kai Eats + Drinks has become a favorite gathering spot for both locals and visitors, celebrated for its oceanfront ambience, warm service, and laid-back hospitality. The new dinner menu builds on that foundation, giving Kona residents and visitors even more reasons to stop by after 4 p.m. Parking is validated at the Waterfront Row underground garage, and Kai Eats + Drinks still offers its original menus for lunch on weekdays (12–3 p.m.) and weekend brunch (9 a.m.–3 p.m.), with happy hour now offered daily from 3–4 p.m.
Kai Eats + Drinks is located on the waterfront in historic Kailua Village, walking distance from Kamakahonu Bay and Kailua Pier. Dinner is served daily starting at 4 p.m., with the new Italian menu available exclusively during evening service.
