Casanova is an Upcountry Maui institution, one more great reason to live in this community. The food is consistently excellent, the atmsphere always fun and festive, the service friendly and easy, the price definetively a great value for the quality that you get. I am an Italian living in the US since twenty years. The pizza is as good as I can remember in the best places in Napoli, the variety of pastas hard to find even in the most popular Restaurants in Milano and the Osso Buco (veal schank), one of my mom's specialty, would make my mom...jealous. If you are visiting Maui, you may consider yourself lucky to find yourself in Casanova. After dinner you may want to make a reservation for...the night after.

The glowing review above and the one in the Frommer's guidebook for Maui are somewhat mystifying given that this is a completely overpriced Italian place with completely average food. I can get better spaghetti sauce from a can than what my husband had on his pasta here, and my pizza, while fine, was not worth the $16 price tag. I think one should generally be suspicious of a place that purports to be all things to all people -- nightclub, bar, restaurant and deli -- as Casanova does. We weren't there for the music, so I can't judge the social scene it's supposedly known for, but you should definitely eat somewhere else if you know what good Italian food is & are looking for something in that line.

This place serves very average Italian food. Nothing to write home about. For lunch, Cafe O'Lei down the street has much better food. My wife's pizza was fine. My seafood pasta in a tomatoe sauce just want very good. Their signature Tiramisu tasted like it had just come out of the fridge after beeing defrosted. One of the worst efforts at a signature dish I have ever had. We ate a couple of bites and left the rest and we love desserts!

Good food, great athmosphere, a neighborhood restaurant in an island of many turists traps. Difficult to find a better experience in Maui. Pizzas and pastas are as good as you can get in Italy. Seafood preparations are creative and decemtly priced. I am a regular at Casanova!

This is known less for its food and more as the social meeting spot upcountry. If you want to go out at night, try Casanova's. But don't go there because you expect good food.
