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.

    Off the beaten track for tourists, Casanova’s was an excellent local location. the Meat ball appetizer was very good, and the Chicken parm was as good as any i’ve had in a long time. Service was excellent as well. no waiting for anything we needed.

    Excellent service, good wine selection and outstanding food. Very accommodating with tweaking menu items to suit patron needs. Superb eggplant dish and wonderful lamb chops. Thank you. We do miss the ossobuco that used to be on the menu though ….. 🤔
