Since 1986, Casanova Italian Restaurant is at the heart of the Upcountry Maui lifestyle. From Sunday brunch right into dinner, you may expect the best Italian food on the island (as voted by countless local magazines’ surveys). Fresh salads, pastas, seafood and pizzas from Maui's first wood burning oven are Casanova's signature dishes. Loyal patrons appreciate Casanova's very reasonable prices. In 2017 Open Table diners rated Casanova the Best Italian Restaurant in the State of Hawaii.
At the main crossroad of Historic Makawao town, Casanova is a must do experience after a visit to Haleakala National Park.

    We shared the special Lamb Shank with risotto and gravy. It was delicious, fresh and served hot. The Kale Caesar salad was fresh, crispy and served cold. Portions on all the dishes are generous. Cold drinks and an attentive and friendly Bar server and staff also.

    Absolutely delicious Italian food with all home made pasta and wood burning pizza. We had each ;) We took our 3 little children here for dinner last night for Valentine’s Day and it was loud and energetic, and we loved it!! It’s an Italian place, c’mon!! The service was the best we’ve had on island- as it always is, and the food came out piping HOT- the way we like it! There are no complaints! We didn’t have to worry about our kids being too loud bc it’s an energetic restaurant that had live music. Our night couldn’t have been any better. We will definitely return.

    Our server(s) were Keri and Lilly. They were AMAZING!!! We never had to ask for anything, they anticipated our every need!!! The server assistants were also on top of everything. Plates cleared, water glasses refilled, etc! Our entire experience was perfect! We made the huge mistake of going to the Casanova Bistro in Kahului… We will never go there again. The food was subpar and the service lackluster compared to yours and Makawao!

    The food at Casnova is consistently good. The service was not so good, I was finished my meal before everyone else got their and their meals came at different times. Other than that very enjoyable.

    it’s fried slices of potato instead of garlic mashed potatoes. A new chef must be in town. honestly, i prefer mash potatoes as food that takes time and a delicate touch touch to prepare and shows off the skills of the crew. hence 4 stars instead of 5. steak, fish, and pasta were consistently amazing as usual. much mahalo to the staff as we enjoyed our main dishes as usual… bring back those fluffy mashed potatoes with the same level of service and food quality, and you’ll get 5 stars from me.

    The particular food we had was a bit heavy and lacked flavor. Service was great though. Reasonably priced and unique restaurant.
