About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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.

    Cold drinks and fresh baked hot focaccia bread to start. Salads were fresh and cold with generous dressing. Chicken Parmesan was delicious with pasta on the side. Steaks, chicken and meatballs were also cooked as ordered and delicious. Our server was very friendly and attentive. Enjoyed our dinner for six.

    The food was amazing and reasonably priced for such a nice restaurant. Our server was also really nice and attentive and had suggestions for what to get which was helpful. Definitely recommend this place it’s super nice inside and the tables aren’t super close together which is nice!
