Coastal-Italian Flavors Right By The Water's Edge

A Kona Staple on Aliʻi Drive

A Kona Staple on Aliʻi Drive

Kai Eats + Drinks sits on Aliʻi Drive in the heart of downtown Kona, right on the water overlooking Oneo Bay. Open daily for lunch, sunset cocktails, happy hour, and dinner, it's become a go-to spot for locals and visitors alike — the kind of place you come back to, not just for the view, but for how it feels to be there.
Island Ingredients, Italian Soul

Island Ingredients, Italian Soul

The menu is built around simple, bold cooking — Neapolitan-style pizzas made with Italian flour, classic pastas, fresh island fish, hearty steaks, and satisfying burgers. Pair it with one of 48 brews on tap, a Huggo's Mai Tai, a handcrafted cocktail, or a glass from our growing wine list. Everything designed to taste better by the sea.

Good Food, Good Company, Kona Sunsets

Kai is for lazy lunches, post-surf beers, sunset dinners, and everything in between. Families, first-timers, and regulars all find their place here — on the lanai with a view, in a cozy booth, or pulled up at the biggest bar on the Big Island. Good food, good company, and Kona sunsets. That's the whole idea.
