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.

    Took my favorite thing off the menu, but its still printed on the menu. The fish was overcooked, and bland. Must not of even salted it. Sauce was ok. Vegetables were cold. Over priced for what it was $46. This is Casanovas not Mamas. Probably wont be going back. Especially with the dish we went in for no longer being offered. Hear the table behind us say the sane thing to server, food had no flavor.

    Cold beer and fresh made mix for a Margarita. The best Margarita I’ve had hands down. It was pizza night so an Americano with pepperoni and house made sausage. Served hot.

    Pasta was more than al dente--way undercooked. Next time we'll order pasta "well done". We requested substituting pasta instead of rissoto with our order of duck breast and was told that would cost "$7 or $8 more" so we passed on changing order. Rissoto was also under cooked. Starter of sauteed spinach with pine nuts was execellent but really tiny. Double the spinach to justify the price

    Casanova is just always good. Like if your Italian grandma cooks for you. My place to go for comfort food. The servers are always friendly and fun.

    Our party of nine, cold drinks and great staff attentiveness and friendly. Focaccia bread came fast and hot. The rest of the meal was a bit slow tonight , especially the keiki meals, they waited a bit longer than usual for their meals. Good thing there was the focaccia for them to munch on. All our meals were eventually served hot and fresh.

    We went on a Tuesday Night and early so the restuarant was fairly empty. We enjoyed the drive Up Coutry and the quaint little town. The food was very good and our server Zoey did an excellent job. Brought home some leftovers and enjoyed them the next day.

    Awesome dinner as usual. Cassanova never disappoints. We even brought out 2 year old on our date night. The service and ambiance was great for us. My son loved his pasta
