With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
The beautiful Hawaiian Islands are known for many things, but our captivating coast, picturesque panoramic views, signature sunsets, and fantastic food certainly reign supreme. When you can combine all four, something magical happens — and that is certainly the case at this Maui restaurant. Overlooking the breathtaking Pacific Ocean along the Valley Isle’s striking coast is a phenomenal restaurant with cliffside views and some of the best Italian food around. Located within the Four Seasons Maui at Wailea, Ferraro’s Bar e Ristorante is certainly something special, and we guarantee you’ll want to add it to your Hawaii dining bucket list after learning more:
There’s truly nothing better than al fresco dining in Hawaii, and this beachfront ristorante totally delivers. As Wailea’s only beachside open-air restaurant, Ferraro’s not only features jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean but a phenomenal vantage point of the rugged coastal cliffs nearby.
With live violin music drifting through the air, fine, white linens, and the soft glow of candlelight accompanied by a signature Maui sunset, this romantic restaurant is perfect for special occasions of all kinds. In fact, Ferraro’s was recognized as one of the nations most romantic restaurants by the diners of OpenTable — impressive!
Featuring a diverse and casual lunch menu and authentic Italian "cucina rustica" — or rustic kitchen — cuisine for dinner, Ferraro’s is more than just a pretty location.
Whether you prefer pesto or bolognese, gnocci or tagliatelle, the handmade pastas at Ferraro’s are heavenly. If you aren’t interested in pasta, they also serve a variety of meat and seafood dishes, including seared ahi, roasted rack of lamb, and grilled tenderloins.
If you’re looking for something a little more casual, visit at lunch, where you will find a menu full of scrumptious salads, sandwiches, stone baked pizzas, and more.
Whether you visit for lunch or dinner, you can expect to find world-class service, mouthwatering Italian food unlike anything we’ve tasted in Hawaii, and a casual yet elegant ambiance. It truly doesn’t get more magical than this.
Ferraro’s Bar e Ristorante is located in the Four Seasons Maui at Wailea at 3900 Wailea Alanui Dr., Kihei, HI 96753, and is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Resort attire is required, and swimsuits are not allowed at dinner (you can have a swimsuit with cover-up at lunch). Reservations for dinner are recommended. Visit their website for more information.
