We couldn't have chosen a better place for our final dinner in Maui before flying home to San Diego. We shared the angel hair pasta and a Caesar salad, and both were absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to end a wonderful vacation. What made the evening even more memorable was our outstanding server, Beth. She was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making us feel like valued guests rather than travelers just passing through. Bistro Casanova provided exactly what we were hoping for: excellent food, exceptional service, and a relaxed atmosphere just minutes from the airport. It was the perfect finale to an unforgettable week on Maui. Mahalo to Beth and the entire team--we'll definitely return the next time we're on the island! read more

a fantastic dining experience solid lunch and dinner menu The salads are ALL great many classics like calamari some excellent meatballs and pizzas that pop fun localized drink menu - the Burger at lunch is primo. I believe they make the pasta in house chefs are Pro! Service is cool and friendly. Every dish is solid. Italiano!!! read more

Had a great meal here the other night. We started with the calamari fritti, the caprese salad with grilled eggplant and the seared scallops. For our main dishes we got the Linguine Aragosta and the Bigoli Neri al Salmone (black linguine with smoked salmon). Both were really good but I especially enjoyed the Linguine Aragosta, with its flavorful, creamy sauce, lobster and shrimp. I would definitely go back to eat this again! Don't forget to order the bread. It's a fluffy foccaccia, perfect for sopping up all that pasta sauce. Overall, a very satisfying meal and great service. read more

Good food, Friendly service, Casual Dining Indoor and Outdoor Seating available. Nice place to have dinner when in Kahului. Everyone was friendly from the moment you arrive. Our waiter was entertaining and did a great job serving. The Ahi and Chicken Fettuccine was tasty! The tiramisu was delicious! Make sure you leave room for it. read more

Stopped by for quick dinner at this expensive upscale restaurant soo close to my hotel. Got the most Maui perfect seat watching the sun set on the mountain before me while I waited for my angel hair pasta. The restaurant is huge with different kinds of seating- you can choose to be at the bar, inside, or there is a more private little corner with paintings for a more romantic setting, and ofcourse outdoor which I chose - right opposite the setting mountain. They have plenty of vegetarian options . My pasta had only spinach, and for an additional $2, I got to add more spinach. The pasta came piping hot with spinach, cherry tomatoes, pine nuts. Cheese and Red chili flakes were given on the side. It was simple yet flavorful and very filling. Loved it. Service was excellent. Very polite and patient. Would definitely recommend the Bistro. read more

Bistro Casanova Dinner Date Night Signature Drinks $15 Each Local Mule Pau Vodka, Ginger Beer, Pineapple & Lime Absolutely love the Mule twist with the Pineapple & Lime. So refreshingly delicious. A Chelsie must order beverage. I also squeezed & dropped my lime garnish in my drink for that extra citrus kick. We both worked this morning so this drink is perfect for that pau hana kine drink. Tapas Sesame Seeds Crusted Seared Ahi Sashini, Avocado & Wasabi Aioli $24 I'm definitely a fan of this dish, he didn't want any so I practically licked the plate clean. It's beautifully displayed. Love dipping in the sauce. The crunchy sesame seeds on the outside was a fun change for texture. I also ate each bite with my favorite, green onions. Pasta Ravioli $20 Pasta Pillows Filled with Ricotta & Spinach with Butter & Sage Comes out to $4 a ravioli. But looks can be deceiving, even though this looks like a small dish. Those ravioli were massive & filling. I almost couldn't finish & halfway through was asking my fiancé if he could carry me out of the restaurant if I needed a lift. Lmao. Grigliate Surf & Turf with Ribeye Steak & Grilled Lobster Peppercorn Brandy Roasted Potatoes His dish looked delicious. I did sample & my favorite part of the asparagus is always the crispy tops. I also prefer my potato's to be a little more golden & crispy on the the outside with a warm gooey almost like mashed potatoes for the inside. The dipping sauce for the steak was delicious but looked a little sad. Maybe sprinkle a little extra pepper corn on top to garnish. I'm also not much of a lobster fan so that was all him. Plus he also ate the whole plate. read more

We walked in on a Wednesday evening without a reservation- luckily they had ample space and were able to accommodate us. The staff was excellent. They checked in frequently, and the food was pretty prompt. Food - The ahi tartare had some chips in between the ahi, and the whole thing was plated on some oil + wasabi sauce. I thought the sauce was complimentary to the ahi, and was not overwhelmingly strong. The tortellini was my favorite - the prosciutto add on (+$4) is a must! It was the most flavorful part of the dish. The tortellini sit on some pesto sauce, but I think the dish would've been a bit bland without the pop of saltiness from the prosciutto. The tiramisu had a pretty strong coffee flavor. I think I'm more used to the tiramisu from Asian bakeries, in which the flavor is more light and airy. This one was neither, but coffee lovers would likely really enjoy it! They provided complimentary bread as well with some fluffy butter on the side. The bread seemed to be overly toasted - it was hard to bite and the texture was not very soft. When my husband mentioned that the bread might be overcooked, the server said the bread was cooked fresh every day and seemed to be offended by the comment. Anyway, we didn't mean any harm. Just maybe toast the bread a little less? All in all, it was a nice place to dine in for an evening. Would be nice to have a glass of wine next time! read more

Stopped in by chance, left full and happy! After working all day we were decision fatigued and starving. Our server, Jessie was amazing, gave us bread, started an app and beverages, only then talked about dinner specials and things she enjoyed. She was amazing! We had focaccia bread, garlic/pine nut steamed spinach, Caesar salad, lamb skewers, scallops and clams over risotto and chicken parmigiana (this usually comes on a bed of potatoes but we subbed pasta), tiramisu and creme brulee. Everything was excellent! The space can be dim and a bit loud if the bar is full, which it was. This was also graduation weekend so many families were out celebrating and may have been busier and louder then normal. Worth a stop! read more

Very disappointed with the difference between Bistro Casanova of so many years and the one that exists now. Removing the great Happy Hour, changing recipes, prices, serving size, ambience and menu, HUGE MISTAKE. I'm sure revenue dropped significantly. They will have to build a new clientele as all of the regular patrons, and there were many won't be back. read more

Food and drinks were 10/10 for me. We stopped by during happy hour on a Wednesday and it was a vibe! I rarely take pics of my meals, so I was surprised to find photos of these 3 entrees in my album. Service was okay. There were times we asked for things and it took our server a while to come back. We asked for napkins and she brought it out later after reminding her. We wanted refills on water and that also was a wait. read more

Staff phenomenal, food phenomenal. I had the Makai, (just me - a giant man) it was so good, loved it. We shared Crème Brulee - best I ever had! Then we can back and had the Fettucine Carbonara and that was phenomenal as well. So delicious, master chef in that kitchen. Staff is so warm and kind, they're rock stars! read more

We selected this place mostly on the basis of its proximity to the airport. Turns out it was pretty good. We really liked the house made ravioli. The pizza which on happy hour special was mediocre to poor. Wine selection was interesting on the menu but half of the choices on the menu were missing when it came to ordering. Service was more than we expected and we had lenghty conversations with the staff about Colorado skiing/visiting. Ambiance was pleasant with white tablecloths and lots of tables and perhaps a dozen waitpersons, pretty big operation. We were somewhat concerned by the many negative reviews on yelp, but that wasn't our experience here. We thought it was decent. read more

Service has gone downhill, the restaurant and bar look terrible. There was Mexican music playing.The menu says pasta dishes come with a salad. The bartender (who happens to be the owner ) told me it does not. I ordered bread and specifically stated that I was doing so because I was pretty sure my dish did not come with bread. The bartender failed to let me know that the dish I ordered came with bread. I cannot say how disappointed I am with the changes that have taken place at this establishment since the new ownership. No vibe anymore. Definitely not the nicest place to take anyone for a business lunch any more. very sad. read more

This place has amazing food and cocktails that truly elevate the dining experience! Home made pasta with gluten free options is a game-changer! This was my first time here and it was a happy hour which made it more enjoyable! The service was top-notch too! The only thing I should like see change is an update to the interior design. read more

This is a well-established Italian restaurant located in the Kahului Shopping Center. There is plenty of parking and reservations are recommended. We made reservations through Open Table. The vibe is kinda upscale for Maui. There is a large bar with seating at the entrance. The restaurant is large and has a private room in back. They also have outdoor seating. Focaccia bread with whipped herb butter is served. To start we split a Caesar salad. Then we ordered the Linguine Pescatore and Tagliatelle Alla Bolognese. Both pasta dishes were delicious! The portions were big. Our go-to favorite is the Paella for 2 so we'll probably order that the next time we come back. read more

I greatly enjoyed an Italian meal with my hubby in Maui indoors with great service and great meals. The ambience is just what you would expect for an Italian spot. Nice and cozy with great food and wine. The servers were also super friendly and always picked up our empty plates once we were done. Two thumbs up!! read more

Local here- we used to go for multiple special occasions. Only been twice since the new owners and won't be back. Gone are the carafes and most of the happy hour deals, gone are 90% of the bar selections, gone are portions big enough for a take-away box, and and gone is a chunk of the menu. Server told the table they have red and white wine- one person asked for a dry white and was told, "we're out." The other asked for red and was asked, "what grape?" ...grape? Took four tries to order other drinks as the selection was so sparse. Brussels were singed to a crisp (everyone at the table tasted and agreed!) and there wasn't a sprout on the plate, just a pile of burnt leaves remaining (see photo). $18 worth of burnt leaves. At the end we learned bill splitting is limited (ok fine, we will work it out) but as we were doing the math, the server was less than polite at letting us know how to be more prepared "next time." We were all shocked at the decreased portion sizes and there was a noticeable lack of flavor. Oh, and be prepared to pay for the bread...which comes with butter only (oil is now an up-charge ). Lastly, some of our group sat at the bar before our reservation and the fruit flies so were so, so bad- they literally had to keep their wine glass covered with a napkin. Backed up drain? Who knows. read more

We got the sashimi, calamari, caprese salad and black squid ink linguine with seafood. Every plate was delicious. Topped it off with crème brûlée which was addictive.

To be honest, I sort of forgot about this place. We stopped in last night for the first time in years. With no reservations, we were seated quickly. We made it in time for Happy Hour but ordered off of both menus. Service was quick, the food was good, and it wasn't too pricey considering what we ordered. Overall, we had a nice experience and decided we'd be coming back again. Foccacia Bread- 6/10, I requested balsamic and olive oil (added charge), that bumped it up to an 9/10 Cesar Salad 8/10 Steamed Clams & Mussels - 9/10 (garlic butter suace mmmmm!) Ribeye Steak w/ Saffron Rice and Asparagus- 7/10 (it was cooked well, it just needed a bit of salt. It did come with a choice of dipping sauce though) Tiramisu - 8/10 Pinot Noir- 8/10 Lychee Martini - 8/10 It's a little dark in there, which I personally like, but it was like stepping out of a movie theatre when we left. Bring shades! read more

I am shocked I haven't come here sooner, it's so lovely. The pasta dishes were great and large portions for leftovers. I really enjoyed my butter sage ravioli, although it's definitely a specific palette (sage can just be really in your face). The reason my experience lost a star is because the service all night was really bizarre. I'm not sure if they just got scolded for not clearing dishes or something because they repeatedly were trying to take dishes we were not done with. Our garlic bread came out before we received the small share plates, and then they tried to clear the plates before we were done with the bread and we had to tell them again that we had more coming that we wanted to keep the plates for. Then they cleared the regular bread plate while it still had butter and a bread nub that we would have eaten. And we had ordered another garlic bread portion to eat with dinner, which didn't come for 20+ minutes after we were served our entrees, and came out burnt. And when our waitress finally came out with the burnt bread, she had a dessert in her hand, and pretended to put it down so we thought we were getting dessert for the wait, only for her to say "haha just me, putting someone else's dessert in your face!" I understood the playful attempt but it was an odd exchange and left us disappointed. And the Bonanza cab sav on every printed menu is $10 a glass and it was $16 a glass on the bill. If your prices change please be sure to update your printed prices with it. read more

Outstanding food! Amazing service and experience. Was super impressed with overall food. Everyone cleared their plates

Went here for happy hour, my husband and I had a margaritas that had to be the pre mixed margarita from Costco. We each had the Lasagne...both were VERY COLD, all gummy pasta and sauce...almost no meat...worst margaritas and lasagne in my life.....TERRIBLE. read more

I used to come here ALL. the. time. Then a few years passed and I finally stopped by again more recently with a group of friends for a celebration. We came during their happy hour which includes their popular $7 margarita and mojito carafes. Happy hour is Monday through Saturday from 4-6 pm. They also have $5 draft beers or $7 red or white wine carafes. Which makes it one of the best happy hours in town. Rather than the bar or the tables, we sat in their little 'lounge' area in the corner with couches and enjoyed our drinks there. We also ordered a few appetizers and I also got my favorite dish which is the Linguine Ai Funghi with chicken added. The linguine tasted exactly how I remembered it and was the reason why I used to come here all the time. So delish! The flavors were on point and I loved that my pasta was swimming in sauce -- that's the best part in my opinion. Haha. It is a bit pricey though, but is a pretty good sized serving (enough for two meals for me). All in all, we had a great time and was reminded that I should stop by here more often again. Still a solid spot for happy hour. Service was great and our waitress kept the drinks coming (we had a lot). read more

An Early Valentine's Day to Remember! We decided to celebrate our 10th Valentine's Day a little early--because who needs the crowds when you can have an amazing, relaxed evening instead? And what better place than where we had our second "first" date after 35 years! We love sitting at the bar! Where we always meet new friends and catch up with old friends! Bistro Casanova never disappoints, especially during happy hour. Today's lobster risotto? Absolutely deserving of a chef's kiss! Perfectly creamy, rich, and full of flavor. And of course, their happy hour pizzas--so fresh, so good, and always served with a smile! read more

This is actually my favorite restaurant on Maui. The food is excellent and the lasagna outstanding. We love so many of the menu items from the pizzettas to the eggplant to the mojitos! My problem with this place is the inconsistent service. It is either really good or really bad. I am not sure why they don't staff up on nights there is a big show at the MACC. I find myself stressing for the server who cannot be in ten places at one time. BC does not lend itself for a relaxing experience with great food. read more

Bra! This was so damn good, I bought a SECOND PLATE immediately after finishing the first one!! Never in my life did I go back for seconds on the same dish on any linguine until I had this one! Good amount of lobster meat in there and the SAUCE is just frikkin good! Sauce was light n not heavy I think that's why I could go back for seconds. Recommend this dish 10/10. Go try um out bra! read more

I'm pretty sure you will get sick if you eat the food service was pretty good but it looks like you are in a dumpster when you're inside

The staff and services were excellent. I try to be positive and not write negative reviews, but the food was really bad. I ordered the Surf and Turf. The New York Steak was the smallest and driest steak I've ever had, and the Lobster Tail was like chewing on a tire. My girlfriend wasn't happy with her food either. The kitchen had loud music, the bar had music and the restaurant had music, we could hear three different music channels playing at the same time. I felt bad for the staff working there, other people were complaining about their food. read more

Went in recently and service wasn't great. The food didn't stand out as there really wasn't any taste/flavor to it and on top of that I'm seeing from other reviews that the Owner really doesn't care about customer experiences, feedback, trying to fix things or even just quality control in general. Save your time and money folks! read more

We are in town as my wife and a couple of her friends are biking around the island (65 miles). This is sort of a hidden gem as it was very dark since we walked over from the Maui Beach Hotel.

The special is always mahi piccata and they are no longer offering half carafes of wine or mojitos at happy hour. So sad to see the quality of product decline too... over cooked scallops, focaccia bread is dry and tough, even the service isn't what it used to be. We ordered before two parties of 10 but got our food after them because our server forgot to fire our entrees. read more
