Great location!
We went around midday and it wasn’t crowded at all, which was perfect to grab a spot on the terrace and enjoy the beautiful view.
The atmosphere really gives you that vacation feeling, super chill and inviting.
We tried the Hawaiian pizza, and it was a solid price-to-quality ratio. One pizza to share along with an appetizer is right for two.

If I had to sum up this place in one word, it would be "Don't". The food just isn't good. The only thing we liked was the cheesy garlic bread which was good bread and had a good amount of cheese... but zero garlic. Pizzas are super thin crust. The greek vinaigrette on the salad is neither greek dressing flavored nor a vinaigrette but some weird creamy flavorless sauce. For $15 we got 5 of the world's tiniest chicken wings that seemed to come right out of a frozen restaurant supply box. Check out the picture. The side of ranch is bigger than the portion of wings.

Our dinner plans were turned upside down on this particular night. We planned to have dinner at a place in Kihei that was closing for good but walk in's weren't allowed. Our second choice could've been had but with a 50-minute wait. Enter Manoli's, a place none of us tried and where we ended up.
ATMOSPHERE:
They're located within the Wailea Village Center, a small strip mall at the corner of Wailea Ike & Wailea Alanui drives. It's an older establishment, totally open-air and spread out across a roomy lanai.
MENU:
Italian-inspired apps, salads, pizza, pasta, sandwiches (lunch only), dessert, kids menu.
BEVERAGE:
Angeline Rosé
This blend combined subtle flavors of watermelon and citrus. Absolutely smooth with no bite.
FOOD:
Calamari
It was a very small portion for the price, and consisted of just teeny, battered rings. Flavors were all over the place as the pieces at the top weren't seasoned but the ones at the bottom were soaked in a Tabasco-like sauce. The share plates brought to us were dirty and oily, looking like they missed the dishwasher.
Chicken Alfredo
Creamy, cheesy, and not heavy. I added tiger shrimp that were nice and crunchy. The pasta was fettuccine, cooked perfectly al dente. A cute piece of buttery garlic bread accompanied. Smallish portion for the price but still highly recommended.
SERVICE:
Host greeting was friendly and professional. No reservations were needed.
Female server took great care of us. She was attentive and extremely down to earth.
TIPS:
The "toppings" section of their menu can be added to any pizza or pasta selection.
OVERALL:
Chill vibe and fair pricing for the area.

Great dive for industry folks to wind down after shifts after all the tourists have returned to their hotels to allow up and rest for morning. Open air with great staff, late night menu 10-12, and plenty of parking. You may even see the Gary wandering outside. Why go to the triangle?

If a couple from Minnesota told you to come here and try to the pizza, you might have thoughts about their recommendation, especially as someone coming from the NJ/NY area. But when they tell you there's kalua pork and pineapple on a pizza and it's one of the best things they ate during their week in Maui, you are at least intrigued.
The restaurant is lively even on a Monday night. The service is friendly and quick, and you can see why people come to sit on the patio.
The Greek salad is no frills with its large bites of cucumber and tomato, but it's dressed well and they're not cheap on the feta (I mean that's why you ordered this salad to begin with, right?). But the star of course is the Hawaiian Honey, with savory pork, big juicy bites of pineapple, a slight bite from the onion, and a perfect sauce and cheese base. The real achievement was when you fold the slice to pick it up (because that's how you should be eating your pizza of course), the slice doesn't flop over, a true testament to the pizza's structural integrity. The crust is crispy; no points of demerit, just a note for your preferences.
Get a margarita, definitely skip the unsweetened iced tea, get enough pizza for leftovers the next day, and be happy
