Bistro Casanova is smooth, elegant, exquisite and fun. A tropical landscaping refreshes the air surrounding the outside al fresco tables. Bistro Casanova offers Mediterranean fare, its roots coming from the Cinque Terre in Italy where the owner comes from. Its menu reaches some classic of the European cuisine: Paella for two, Cioppino, Focaccias, Grigliata plates of grilled meat or fish large enough to share, prime cuts of steaks are between the favorites, next to an excellent selection of pastas and fresh salads. Locally grown ingredients are used extensively, as well as the freshest fish from Maui's ocean. Bistro Casanova is a favorite for Happy Hour relaxation, watered by specialty martinis and carafes of mojito and margaritas.Tapas (available after 4pm) can be a tasty complement to your drinks, an opening line for your dinner, or dinner itself. At dinner, Bistro Casanova is a romantic destination for meals before a show or the perfect stop before flying out of Maui.

    Kula Lodge has one of the best views on Maui and even though we live here, we will never tire of it. This was a destination I always made sure was on my list when I would visit Maui before we moved here We typically go for brunch so we can enjoy the garden and scenery. Native plants and flowers overflowing. Beth was our wonderful server, and she always has a warm smile and kind words for every guest. Along with other long-time server, Meghan, you’ll always be treated like ohana. The menu is diverse and delicious. There’s definitely something for everyone, and the hollandaise on the Benedict is some of the best I’ve had. (I always shamelessly ask for extra) Brunch isn’t brunch without a mimosa or two, but don’t miss the espresso martini. The flavor is unlike any I’ve ever had. I always love to chat with pizza chef Jeff who’s operating the kiawe-wood-fired pizza oven if he’s in town for the winter. Just the nicest person. I love the Kula Lodge and I will return as long as it exists.

    We had a wonderful dinner last night at Matteo’s Osteria in Wailea. The hostess escorted us to a nice table. Our server quickly discussed the special dinners not on the menus. We’re not alcohol drinkers, so we ordered soft drinks. We decided on our diners the server was very cordial and helpful. Off the menu I ordered the Turkey Meatball appetizer. It was delicious and it was eaten with pleasure. Our meals came and they were excellent and well prepared. It was an excellent diner and a very enjoyable experience. This was at least our 3rd dinner here. ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️

    Fabulous as always. The food was delicious. Large dinner salads were shareable so we could save room for dessert which is not to be missed! Service was impeccable—both our table server, beverage refill Wed, table clearers, and a manager check-in. We came after sunset, so didn’t get the view this time which is spectacular. The outdoor lanai area was quieter than the main room and delightful.
