Marlow
Price: Expensive•Italian•4.8(289)At Marlow we specialize in artisan style, neapolitan sourdough pizza, as well as locally sourced meats and vegetables. Our menu, space, and offerings change seasonally. We aim to bring you modern yet rustic meals to be shared. Chef/Owner Jeff Scheer and wife Kaili, have always loved to entertain at their home in Kula. The concept for the restaurant is an extension of that warm hospitality felt while sharing good food and wine around a table of family and friends. When the restaurant industry shut down in March of 2020, the pair began making sourdough pizza out of their outdoor oven at home. Milling whole wheat berries from a farm in Arizona, hand stretching mozzarella, whole-animal butchery, growing artichokes and summer squash for toppings - it was a true labor of love. What began as a ritual has grown into a restaurant. We look forward to seeing you at Marlow soon.Casanova Italian Restaurant
Price: Moderate•Italian•4.8(1,750)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.

Discover Makawao
When thinking of Maui, Hawaii, you can just hear the palm trees rustle in the breeze, the waves breaking on the shore, and ukuleles playing in the background. Nestled in the foothills of the Haleakala volcano is Makawao. Though small in size, the town carries a high-quality level of dining one would expect from the bigger neighborhoods of Lahaina and Wailea. Ahi tuna, mahi mahi, and shrimp are among popular menu items here. You can also find sushi, steak, and Italian meals for those who want more familiar options. Top restaurants here typically serve up outstanding Hawaiian, American, and seafood dishes.
