Experience Culinary Excellence at Osteria Mozza Lanai

The prestigious Four Seasons Resort Lanai has unveiled its newly renovated Osteria Mozza Lanai, a celebration of Italian culinary traditions, reinvented by the celebrated chef, Nancy Silverton. Officially opened on November 1, this enchanting venue is located along the coast of Lanai Island in Hawaii and is set to deliver an exclusive dining experience that harmonizes local flavors with Italian recipes.

Fresh Ingredients and Signature Dishes

Osteria Mozza Lanai's menu is a treasure trove of delightful dishes featuring local produce sourced from the esteemed Sensei Farms. You'll find vibrant salads, freshly caught ahi (tuna), and house-made pastas infused with Hawaiian sea salt and local eggs. Silverton’s hallmark creations, such as the Nancy's Caesar, Ricotta & Egg Raviolo, and Grilled Hamachi Spidino, are must-try items that showcase her culinary prowess.

In a stunning touch, the restaurant is equipped with a state-of-the-art Woodstone oven, specifically designed for pizza. Guests can marvel at the artistry of pizza-making at the extraordinary Mozzarella Bar, with an elegant quartzite high-top bar that creates an inviting atmosphere for enjoying antipasto and warm pizzas paired with fine wines.

Breakfast Innovations

In a first for Osteria, breakfast offerings are making their grand debut. Guests can indulge in an assortment of freshly baked pastries from the forno, alongside chef-crafted items like Smoked Salmon Crostini, Eggs in Purgatory, and Tuscany-Style Steak & Eggs, each promising an elevated breakfast experience.

Expertise Behind the Kitchen

Leading the culinary team is Chef Eli Anderson, whose extensive experience under top American chefs informs his approach to creating outstanding dishes. From the opulent space overlooking the Pacific Ocean, diners can enjoy expertly crafted meals that embody both innovation and tradition.

Authentic Wood-Fired Pizzas

Osteria Mozza Lanai’s wood-fired pizza oven, constructed by Woodstone, marries classic design with modern functionality. Its beautiful ceramic mosaic tiles invoke the waves of the ocean, perfectly complementing the restaurant's open-air ambiance. Pizza enthusiasts can savor options ranging from Fennel Sausage to Misty Mushrooms and Bianca, with a special nod to Lanai's history through the use of pineapple in their Alla Benno pizza – all meticulously fired with Kiawe (Mesquite) wood.

Handmade Pastas from a Dedicated Room

The specially designated pasta room allows the chef to create an array of fresh, handmade pasta dishes such as Garganelli with rich Bolognese, Culurgiones with Eggplant, and Tortelloni with fermented butter and artisan cheese from Modena. Unique to the restaurant, the eggs used in the dishes come from the local regenerative poultry farm, Lanai Grown Farm, ensuring an exceptional quality of eggs from free-range chickens that thrive on a natural diet.

Exquisite Desserts

To complete your dining experience, a variety of delectable desserts await, including the remarkable Butterscotch Budino, Pineapple Upside-Down Cake, and handmade gelato, promising a sweet ending to every meal.

The Private Dining & Wine Room

Whether for a family gathering or a business dinner, the private dining and wine room accommodate up to ten guests. The splendid wall of wine bottles creates an elegant, luxurious backdrop perfect for special occasions. The restaurant boasts an award-winning wine list with over 600 selections primarily from Italy, France, and California, including top-tier selections like the celebrated Merlot Masseto and acclaimed Barolo Ravera.
