About Ciao Morgano

Ciao Morgano is a warm and inviting destination for friends to gather and enjoy the rich traditions of Italian home cooking in the pristine air and community spirit of Volcano, Hawaii. Inspired by my time as a professional musician living in Northern Italy, this hearty breakfast cuisine reflects the flavors and stories of family-style cooking, reimagined for a bright and beautiful winter morning in paradise.

Classic Culinary Compositions

Each menu item is thoughtfully paired with an original musical composition, written to enhance the flavors and experience of your meal. It's more than just food—it's a celebration of music, culture, and community.

Rooted in Community

I was born and raised in the beautiful village of Gasquet, in the furthest reaches of Northern California. My heart found its home in Volcano on my first day in Hawaii six years ago. I will never forget, driving up from the Ka'u desert, turning the corner into the ancient forest, and feeling right at home. Sharing good food and beautiful music with such a kind and welcoming community is a joy and a delight.

Discover Something New Every Week

Join me Thursdays 3-6pm and Sundays 6-10am at the Volcano Farmers Market to explore a rotating menu of Italian-inspired dishes, enjoy beautiful music, and grab a CD to take the experience home. Let's share stories, flavors, and melodies that linger long after the meal is over.
