Went there for breakfast, coffee was good, food was good, all though the bacon was a little over cooked. The service was friendly and prompt, all in all good experience. Would go back read more

See all

Great atmosphere, great service, only went there for dessert and was completely satisfied. They have a variety of pastries, macaroons, and cakes. Want to come back and try the Pizza!! read more

Great atmosphere. Great food! My daughter is picky but can't get enough of their thin crispy cheese pizza! I love the one with white sauce & arugula! Mm!!! And don't forget the best macaroons in town! Woweee! Tried them first at a friend's party, so outrageous!!! Very friendly & warm, good man who owns shop too! Legit! read more

Fabiani's - Yummy Italian Pastries. Said to have the best of the best macaroons!! - Italian Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

BAKERY REVIEW ONLY! I have not tried their pizza, but the patrons that evening seemed VERY pleased. I ordered a slice of this tall cake with several layers, including 2 or 3 layers of yellow cake, whipped white chocolate layer, and a shortbread cookie base. My goodness, I wish I could remember the name of it. I was absolutely AMAZING. I had a couple truffles, but the chocolate was too dark for my taste. But that cake!!! Oh wow!!!! It had a name something like "Cosmopolitan" or something (if you know, please msg me and I will correct it). I look forward to more baked guilty pleasures for my next visit to Kihei. And next time I will try the pizza--it smelled wonderful in there! Family owned and super friendly folks with smiles on their faces. But in Maui, nearly everyone smiles most of the time! :) read more

Stopped here on 4/11 after a day of scuba diving. We ordered a half margherita and half Maui meaty (Italian sausage, pepperoni and honey ham). They charge for the more expensive half, so it came out to $12. Crust was thin and crisp, not soggy, but lacked any real flavor. It was completely bland. Sausage on my half was the crumbly kind that reminded me of elementary school cafeteria pizza or $1 Totino's pizza in the freezer section. Overall, the crust was the only thing worthwhile, as bland as it was. Definitely skip this place if you're looking for good pizza. read more

Fabiani's - A bland pizza with crumbly "school cafeteria style" sausage. Pass. - Italian Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

MACARONS! They are the best I tasted so far. Tried the salted caramel, lilikoi, raspberry and tangerine. Salted caramel was the bomb! Texture was chewy and the filling was not too sweet. Flavors were spot on. Came back another night to pick up some pasta and garlic bread. I'll pass on the pasta next time and only come for a dessert or two. Right when you walk in be sure to check out their display of yummy desserts. Lots of variety. Don't go in the morning though, they had more selection around dinner time. read more

Not too bad. Living near Chicago, this isn't anywhere close to the best pizza I've ever had, but it was better than I expected. Service was great, very quick, and it was a nice little place. It was fairly quiet for a Monday evening, so that was good, too. Granted, I wasn't adventurous and didn't do a typical Hawaiian pizza, I just "built my own", so take my opinion with a grain of salt. read more

The pizza was delicious and the people were sweet. This place got 5 stars in part due to the amazing staff. Our waitress Katie was sweet, patient, and constantly checked in on us to make sure we were doing well. It was a great place to sit down and have dinner, without feeling like you're in an uptight restaurant. They had a good handful of TVs set up around the place so you could watch sports (I guess that is a plus for me, but may not be for everyone). There was one minor problem, but that came from a family who didn't know how to control their child and inconvenienced everyone around them from their lack of parenting. I can't blame that on Fabiani's crew though. read more

This place was open later so we decided to give it a try. I ordered the minestrone soup in a bowl and it was a great size. The soup was so hearty with big thick chunks of vegetables and the soup base was thick as well. Perfect for me because I was starving. My Husband got the chicken Alfredo and it looked like they forgot half his order. He also mentioned it was so so. My daughter and niece shared a Hawaii pizza they both agreed it was delicious. The atmosphere was was nice filled with happy patrons. The service was fine, not great but not bad either. I would probably go there again if it were late and I wanted a sit down dinner. read more

Outstanding Italian pasta and pizza. We had dinner. Lasagna for me and spaghetti for my husband. Also garlic bread with mozzarella cheese. Everything was delicious. Perfectly cooked, served piping hot. Waitress kept an eye on us that all was good without being annoying. Took home a cannoli that was also wonderful, but had to wait two hours before I had room for it. Reasonable pricing here in pricey Hawaii. On a side street, but definitely worth the search. Excellent! read more

I work right near here, and stop by often for coffee and bakery goods for my lady when I visit her on lunch. The confections are great, although my girlfriend would argue that too many of them are "mousse-ey" while not enough have caramel or nuts. I thoroughly enjoyed the tiramisu cheesecake, as well as the peanutbutter and chocolate cake. For hot food, I like their pizza (quite a bit, actually). It's a thin flimsy crust, but folds in half nicely, and tastes fantastic. Greasy without being too greasy. I also quite enjoy their calzone. It's big, but not unmanageable. I wish that they had all of their pizza options available in calzone form, but for now it's just a pepperoni and sausage option. Still delish. Last time I was in there, I tried the lasagna. I wasn't super impressed, but I wasn't disappointed either. Just wasn't really my cup-o-tea. My boss swears by it, though, so it's still worth a taste. It tasted great, but was kind of a soupy, less solid, consistency which made me tire of it quickly. All in all, nothing bad about this place. I wish them great success. They employ friendly staff, serve great food, and offer a great atmosphere considering the strip mall location. I'll be back again soon. And again after that. And again after that... read more

Easy place to like. Our pizza was good , thin crust but not too thin with some interesting toppings available. The salad was a winner with a good dressing. The garlic bread was tasty also. This location also has a bakery and everything in the case looked amazing. We took home s few macaroons and a slice of red velvet cake. The macaroons were perfect. Some macaroons can be overly sweet, overpowering the flavors. These were just right. The cake was one of the best red velvet a ive had with a light whipped cream frosting. We ordered a birthday cake for my wife - pineapple upside down cake. The cake was decorated beautifully. The cake itself was very dense and honestly was a little disappointing. With all the other delicious baked goods they make I'm sure this one was the exception. Definitely come back! read more

Came here for breakfast with friends. Had been here before several years ago but couldn't remember the experience. The location is nestled in a small shopping center behind a bank. Parking can be a challenge if it's busy. The place was about half full but it took a while to be seated. We sat down and gave our drink orders. It took almost 10 min before they came with drinks. We almost left except one of my friends knew several of the staff there (not our server). The food was great. I had the Italian loco mock which was fantastic. The service was not fantastic. Not sure if they were short handed but that definitely diminished our experience. Take it for what it is. read more

We had a quick dinner at the bar - good food, friendly staff, likely the best Italian option in the area. We didn't try the pizza but would go for that next time around. read more

Forgot to take a photo, sorry. All week we went to various happy hours for eats and drinks. Fabian's kept popping up and eventually we just had to try their pizza, half off during happy hour. We drove a few miles to find it and waited in line to get that half-off pizza. Finally ordered and the ticket was full price. When I asked why, the order taker said "only at the bar". There are about 10 bar stools, all taken (likely by locals who know the drill. We thought it was a pretty cheesy come-on. If they let people sit anywhere to get limited-time half-off pizza, they would sell more drinks. I would have just gone elsewhere but my partner said "fine" and paid full price. It was a 12" pizza and not worth full price. The look and taste were about average. The crust was dry and not chewy and had no yeast flavor. Even though we had to order at a counter, we couldn't get our own tableware and beverages or water. So we sat for 15-20 minutes and the pizza came to the table with no service ware or water. The server quickly returned with it though and apologized. Even if I lived here, I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Love the happy hour deal! 1/2 off any pizza from 3-5pm. Can't beat that! The pizzas are yummy- thin crust and lots of varieties. I personally like the Fabiani- salami, mushroom & Brie cheese! So good! I always have a few pieces leftover which make for a nice lunch the next day. I have been once for breakfast and it was ok...rather go for dinner. read more

This place was recommended for happy hour by a local and we went. We ordered a Rueben pizza, a margarita (typo, I know) pizza with ricotta, tiramisu and they gave us a sample of the vanilla macaroon - my first macaroon ever! The environment was classy, the staff was pleasant and the food was FABULOUS. My only complaint is I didn't find this place sooner, but we can't hold that mistake against the restaurant. I would definitely go back. The bar fills up quickly for happy hour so don't hesitate, just go and take a bite out of scrumptious. All the desserts looked amazing! I tried the gluten free beer - not bad. The house Chardonnay and cab were both tasty. read more

Rumor has it that one Fabiani's restaurant location is better than the next. Because I have not tried both spots, I'll wait until a later time to debate which I prefer. That being said, the Fabiani's in Kihei has a fabulous lunch menu and an incredibly comfortable and welcoming atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Although there were other seating options available, my lunch date and I sidled up to the bar to chat with the friendly bartender while catching a few sports replays in the meantime. We both ordered pasta dishes, myself the chicken alfredo and my lunch partner in crime, a red sauce based chicken dish with spaghetti-like noodles (please excuse me for forgetting the name). The food came out in a timely manner, served with decadent bread, and was both delicious and filling. Although my stomach had no room left for dessert, the assortment of pastries, delicatessen cookies and cakes looked absolutely to die for. I will definitely be coming back to indulge in their seductively sweet desserts and to treat myself to yet another scrumptious cocktail. As I firmly believe, you only live once, so why deprive yourself from the seductively savory and sweet dishes that are all around you? I certainly don't. read more

Had the chicken parmesan, was nasty. Chicken was a breast thet was split in half. It was burnt, dry and rubbery! Aloha Lorenzo, Of course I'll be back. Your a long time friend. I will definitely bring it to someone's attention. You were so busy that night. You looked streesed enough. Mahalo, Vic Mannoia read more

Authentic Naples style, thin crust, pizza. The place isn't fancy, but the quality and service is great! We had the "Lorenzo's" pizza w/ proscuitto & arugula w/ a bechamel sauce ($13). YUM! Pizza is comparable to Via Trib, or Tutta Bella, in Seattle, but less pricey! read more

This is a nice casual restaurant to enjoy a very good Italian meal and the desserts are the kind that you'll find yourself craving later. Sometimes the waitstaff is not the friendliest but everyone has a bad day. They also have a very good wine selection. read more

The service alone awards this pizzeria a 5-star review! Their casual and kid friendly environment was great for our baby, and the owner kindly helped us sterilize the bottle! The margarita pizza was delicious and reasonably priced. We even grabbed a slice of tiramisu cheesecake for the road. read more

Delightful, charming pizza place in Kihei. What a relief to take a break from the overpriced bougie restaurants of wailea and lahaina. Locals seem to throng to this joint for it's reasonable prices, personable service, and tasty pizza and drinks. read more

Fabiani's - Kahuna pork and pineapple pizza with maui onions - Italian Near Me - Kihei, Hawaii

MUST come here for their great authentic Italian pizza. All ingredients made in house from scratch. We found this place on our last night in Maui. Had the house salad (didn't like the house dressing that much but the Caesar is great). The margarita pizza was delicious. Fresh taste. Very thing crust. We ordered another one to go for tomorrow's flight back home. The salted caramel macaron was a good finale. Friendly staff and very nice atmosphere. read more

It's hard to write something when you have something good in mind. I had the spaghetti bolognese. The pasta was cooked al dente. The sauce wasn't the best. The meat had good flavor. I was just hungry and in no mood to go around for what I really wanted, lesson learned. The dessert was good just what I like for my desserts. It wasn't sweet it was perfect. I had this champagne and mango thing in a lemon pudding. (Sorry didn't memorize the name) In all the service was friendly and nice, but if you have cravings for a sea food pasta this isn't the place for you. read more

The food was good but the portions were very small. We ordered a large pizza and pasta to go. We realized in our hotel room that we should've had ordered more. The pizza was more likely a personal size pizza... read more

A new favorite of mine here in Kihei! The pizza came highly recommended by a local, so we decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed in the slightest, and on top of that they offer some very tasty baked goods! I look forward to coming back here next time I'm in Maui read more

The service was impeccable and the food was amazing! Best Italian on the island! I ordered the arancini and Margherita Pizza, and had to order a 2nd pizza it was so good! Super thin crust and delightful quality ingredients. For sure will be coming back :) read more

They have gone from five stars to two, mainly because they have replaced the delicious, homemade focaccia rolls with pasty, grocery store stuff. Its very disappointing, because this used to be a reliable mainstay for lunch. I was afraid to ask how many more changes were made, but I sure did not enjoy the cheap-tasting rolls they are using now. Would much prefer paying a bit more for something delicious. Hope the owners heed patron feedback. read more

We really wanted pizza when on the island so we chose Fabiani's. The pizza and pasta was good but average. The ahi bruschetta appetizer was delicious and the deserts and bakery offered a large, handmade selection and was high quality. read more

The lovely Lady Di and I were extremely impressed with Fabiani's in Kihei. Atmosphere, wait staff and food were very, very good. For dinner we ordered Ahi bruschetta; was too good to believe. Ample fish on perfectly toasted crostini with a slightly spicy veggie tempanade. Then pasta di giorno and the best pizza we've ever had. Fabiani's is fabulosa! Oh, and plenty leftovers too. We will return. Soon. read more

Bartender- Wailea Location I love the pizza and desserts here. There specials are always amazing, but what I love the most is when Kaite is working behind the bar! I always love to come in and see her smiling face mixing up great drinks. She served me an amazing basil cocktail that was light and refreshing and I couldn't wait to come back in again to have another round! She is very knowledgeable about their menu and always knows what to get for you when you cant make up your mind. I love the food and most of all love Katie's fun attitude. What a great place to have on island. Don't ever change! read more

Fabiannis was our first lunch in Maui. My husband and I ordered a margarita pizza and it was delicious. I especially loved the crust and the fresh basil. We took dessert to go- a slice ofcheesecake and chocolate cake-both were super yummy! read more

Friendly & knowledgeable staff. Great drinks, quiet & intimate setting, food was absolutely delicious and meticulously crafted. Would definitely go back read more

Before I give my review, I am judging Fabiani's from my perspective and what I ordered. Ratings: Cleanliness, Design, Vibe: Great Service/Waiters: Great Food: Mediocre Price: Expensive but Understandable As soon as I walked in the restaurant, the smell was nice, it was clean, and a good nature. We ordered our food, sat down, and got food in 5-10 minutes. I ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. I would say my food wasn't terrible, but it wasn't anything special either. The pasta itself was average, but the dish didn't contain much flavor/seasoning. And I was hoping for that authentic creamy taste of Italy. The chicken was underwhelming; it was cooked fine but was dry, and there was too many pieces of chicken to make a good ratio with the pasta. I would say the food could be better seasoned and a little more juicy on the chicken. It was $21 but back home in Seattle I get this for the same price at a Cheesecake Factory. The Factory's fettuccine Alfredo was very tasty, flavorful, savory, creamy, and big portion. Though I understand this is Hawaii and prices are inflated. The servers were fast, nice, confident, friendly and are what you should look for in an employee. Maybe if I get something else next time my rating could possibly be raised to a 4 or a 5. read more

Came here with my friend for her birthday. It was fantastic. The service was quick and accurate. It is friendly and kid friendly at the same time! The caprese salad was amazing. The pasta was great and OMG---the desserts!!! To die for!! read more

I would NOT recommend this place to anyone unless they are looking for a quick mediocre meal... The food was cold and not very good at all. The employees were running around seeming like they did not know what they were doing. Our waiter could not remember the only two simple specials as well...I wish I went to the Subway right next door.. Considering there is SO MANY amazing resturaunts in Maui. This is definately NOT one to try out. If you are in the area the "Monkey Pod", it is excellent! read more

Great Italian food, awesome service! We ate twice in the restaurant and took a takeout once during our Maui Stay.. Tried a lot of their dishes, and all were great! Quite reasonably priced considering what it costs in Maui... read more

Fabiani's on Lipoa in Kihei serves a spaghetti marinara that tastes like it is right out of the kitchen of someone's beloved Nonni, and this is why we keep coming back. The plate appears on the table steaming with fragrant tomato and herb goodness, yet it is not overloaded with the herbs. A mistake so many restaurants make in a misguided attempt to wow the customer is to pack the sauce with herbs. A good marinara sauce stands in its own with minimal seasoning, and Fabiani's does not disappoint. The rich flavor of the tomato itself is clearly the star, and that is the way it should be. The garlic bread arrived slightly charred on the edges, but fortunately, I actually like those crispy edges, as they seem to add a sweetness to the savory - a combination I adore. The butter saturated the bread evenly, and the garlic was not over-done. I filled up quickly on pasta and two of the four pieces of bread and brought the remaining two home with me. My boyfriend ordered his favorite - the house salad with chicken. The salad was crisp and fresh with macadamia nuts sprinkled on top. He orders this every time, and that speaks volumes of its quality and taste. Fabiani's on Lipoa in Kihei is a must visit whether you are a resident or visiting the island. The food is fantastic, although the service is occasionally slow; however, I would attribute this to the packed house we ordinarily see on a given night. Today at lunch, the restaurant was slightly less crowded, but the waitresses were busy at work every moment. The Fabiani's Wailea location, frankly, we haven't been there enough to give it a fair assessment, as we have eaten there only once when the place was still in its infancy. The servers were slow, and the menu was quite a bit different (at the time) than we were used to in Kihei. We had trouble finding something we wanted or that my dairy-free boyfriend could eat. When I asked if I could have spaghetti with marinara, the waitress seemed confused as if I had just asked her for sushi. To be fair, the Wailea location was brand new and still stretching its legs. I plan to give it another try. read more

We've come to Kihei Fabiani's several times and while it is a good value and fairly decent food, they (kitchen) manage to screw up a lot of basic things. Out of four times we ate there, three times they sent out lasagna that was ice-cold on the inside. Pasta tends to be on the overcooked side and their sauces taste bland and cheaply done.Their garlic bread is greasy and store bought (I really hope they don't bake it themselves, cause that would be a waste of time). On the bright side, their pizzas are actually fairly well done (try the Reuben pizza with sauerkraut) and desserts are huge and OK as well. read more
