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.

    Large menu, good drink selection. Our waitress was pleasant. The Caesar salad was huge but not very flavourful. The chicken parmigiana was excellent. The pasta with the chicken parmigiana was cooked perfectly. The marinara sauce was Nothing special though. Red pepper flakes and parmesan cheese helped. I would recommend this place for larger groups. Not a very intimate setting for a date night.

    Dined at the Bar. Cold beer and a great tasty Margarita (this Bar server squeezes fresh juices daily). Kale Caesar salad was crispy and served cold. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious, served hot with pasta and lots of cheese.

    The pizza, chicken parm, and spaghetti were good, not great. They do hit you with a 4% card charge so be ready for that.

    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.
