Went for Happy Hour and chose the Ciopinno instead! It was exceptional and full of flavors.
The Restaurant faces the main street, but you have to drive around the office building to find it tucked away. The menu had numerous entrees that looked fantastic.

We were staying at the Maui Seaside Hotel across the street, and they recommended Bistro Casanova — we’re so glad they did! We stopped in for a late lunch, and everything was wonderful. I had the seared scallops and my wife had the fettuccine Alfredo — both dishes were delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was relaxed, and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. A great spot for a quality meal in Kahului — highly recommend!

This was the second time we were to this restaurant because it was pretty good the first time so we brought more people. The food was nice but the lady who served us when we paid the check, she asked more money for the TIP claiming it was for her and being 5 people it wasn’t enough money and on the check it didn’t say nothing about a mandatory tip, this was really disgusting for us, she was demanding more money, and the first time there the server didn’t say anything about the tip. I don’t know if the restaurant has that policy but if is like that, don’t fool us and put the tip on the check.

This was a sister restaurant to Casanova’s in Makawao but I believe that changed years ago.
ATMOSPHERE:
Plain interior, nothing special. There’s a small bar, sofa lounge seating, large dining room and protected outdoor seating with some uncomfortable metal grated seats.
MENU:
Apps, pastas, traditional Italian entrees, desserts.
BEVERAGE:
Mojitos
I tried two flavors, the lychee and strawberry. The lychee flavor wasn’t too detectable but was good. The strawberry one I enjoyed more. Neither was too sweet or strong. Very refreshing.
FOOD:
Calamari Fritti
Very mainstream but good. The batter is light and the dipping sauce is a garlic caper mayo.
Frites
Hand-cut potatoes that are fried to a dark brown, almost reminiscent of sweet potatoes but thankfully they’re not.
Caesar Salad
My first experience with this wasn’t good at all. The dressing was so light and flavorless it was horrible. Skip to a couple months later, gave it another try, this time with anchovies, and I loved it.
Lingine Al Funghi
My favorite hit or miss dish. The pasta was done perfectly (green & white mixed made for a very appetizing & colorful appeal) done in a creamy sauce topped with mushrooms
Fettuccine Ossobuco
The veal wasn’t shredded as stated – it was cut into strips, but still super tender done in a medium tomato broth. The fettuccine is wider than your normal variety.
Capellini Alla Checca
The first time I tried this I only had a bite from a friend and loved it, but I didn’t enjoy eating it as an entree. Angel hair with a super mild flavor leaves you craving for something else. Topped with pine nuts, spinach, tomatoes, and parmesan.
Bigioli Neri Al Salmone
Squid ink pasta with smoked salmon, peas, leeks and topped with tobiko. The pasta was cooked perfect and the flavor is very mildly rich.
Paella
I finally got the chance to try this huge dish with 3 other friends. It works great as an app for a large party. Saffron rice in a medium flavored sauce topped with scallops, shrimp, mussels, calamari, chicken, and sausage. I guess I was expecting more from this dish but it was very unimpressive. Maybe I was spoiled with a better version in Barcelona? Yup, that’s what it was.
Rigatoni Carbonara
Yowza this was super tasty! I don’t think I’ve had a better carbonara anywere. It normally comes with rigatoni but I’m a noodle guy so they made it with the green and white linguine from the mushroom pasta.
Pollo Cacciatore
This was really tasty! They use half of a bone-in, skin-on chicken, simmer it in a tomato-based broth and topped it with sliced tomatoes, red bell peppers, and capers. To the side is a flavorful nest of angel hair pasta. If you want a tomato-based pasta with chicken instead of beef, this is the winner.
Trofie Al Pesto Genovese
Short, twisted pasta and 4 seared scallops done in a dry pesto sauce, topped with a spoonful of sun-dried tomato “aura,” and pine nuts. Mix the “aura” into the dish to give it some life, though the taste was still very subtle with a nice hint of nuttiness. My friend having the same dish added salt, I did the ultimate sin and added cheese, then it was way better.
DESSERT:
Affogato
I’ve never heard of this until my friend ordered it. Vanilla ice cream with a poured-over shot of espresso. OMG my two favorite things, coffee AND ice cream?!
SERVICE:
The restaurant can get busy at times and is gaining in popularity, so I’d suggest making reservations just in case, especially if you have 4 or more in your party. Overall service is friendly and professional, and I’ve never encountered any problems or attitudes. The bartenders are great.
OVERALL:
Good food & prices. Great alternative to Marco’s with more traditional Italian fare.

The food is incredibly good. This Restaurant has made many new improvements. We love to go there because the Service is fabulous and they have much Aloha.
We had Merlin and Miranda as servers. They are the dynamic duo and gave us truly great service along with a Fabulous tasting meal.
I ordered the fresh fish catch and my husband had the Black Linguine Seafood which is so good.
It comes with a salad. The whole environment is so nice and you walk away with a big smile on your face because the Prices are right and the Food and Service is Excellent.

⭐ 1 out of 5 stars
Dusty and unclean, bland food, and poor service. Undercooked pasta was served, the server didn’t care, and we were still charged. Soda refills are $2.50. Never coming back.
This was a very disappointing dining experience. The restaurant’s cleanliness was concerning, with visible dust particles in the air. The food was equally poor: the Caesar salad arrived with an entire can of anchovies simply placed on top rather than blended into the dressing, the calamari was unseasoned and bland, and the carbonara pasta was undercooked, chewy, and still looked raw.
When we raised the issue of the pasta, our server had no response, made no effort to remove it, and still charged us for the dish. We paid, but it left a lasting impression of indifference toward guests. To add to the frustration, soda refills are $2.50 each.
Between the lack of cleanliness, bland food, and disappointing service, we cannot recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

We had an awesome birthday experience! Betty was our server and she made our dinner amazing. Knew exactly what to recommend on the menu for us and was very personable with our special dinner. The food was one of the best dinners we had on the island. The location is very skeptical but absolutely worth it. We love everything about our experience and will definitely be back!!

Had a great first experience here. Food was great and service was top tier. Was recommended a cheesecake by an extroverted worker that was super friendly and our waitress Jolyn was full of personality. Will definitely come back on our next Maui trip.
