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.

    We’ve frequented Bustro Casanova since it’s opening. I planned a club Xmas party there it’s 1st holiday season. My spouse & I have enjoyed many lunches there over the years. The quality of the drinks, food, & service has fluctuated. Tonight we had dinner. Hiro’s service was excellent. She was attentive, efficient, & pleasant, though she was quite busy & had a party to attend to. Our Cosmos , prepped by Kai (?) were delicious, like my home made ones… the best I’ve had outside my kitchen in years. Our calamari pups was perfectly prepared… golden & crispy. We had the lamb chop appetizer with risotto( that we were told they were out of, but Hiro found us some. Yay! Our desserts … his chocolate mousse, & my crème brûlée were lovely, too, & Hiro comped his. It’s his 85th B- day. We’ll be going to more dinners there, & recommending that family & friends do, too!

    Yes, we were understaffed for the volume of business of that day. I do apologize. Thank you for your patronage.

    As long-time regular customers of Bistro Casanova, we can say without qualification that this restaurant never fails to deliver a highest-quality and delightful experience—one we always look forward to. Owner Giovanni Steven Cappelli is a true restaurateur—it's in his blood and it shows! The menu is varied with taste choices that appeal to a wide range of palates. My husband loves the upcountry salad with shrimp, the kaupo salad, and his all-time fav—the wonderful angel hair pasta served piping hot with an authentic blend of delicious flavors. The staff are genuinely warm and friendly, sending us smiles and greetings as we arrive, remembering our menu preferences, and serving with cheerful attention. We appreciate them all, including Chanelle and Betty who are consistently gracious and efficient. Giovanni has somehow managed to keep the food quality top-notch and the prices reasonable—a rare achievement on Maui. This mahalo is long overdue—we love you guys at Bistro Casanova!
