Granola n yogurt
Nancy F.

I love this place. The Italian food is good. The bakery is unbelievable. There's spaghetti Bolognese is extra special and their green salad is wonderful. It has everything in it. Music is unreal outdoor patio gives people a lot of chance to have to have a family gathering, they can accommodate a lot of people, the red velvet cake is to die for and our drinks are great. Good wine list very consistent.

Entry to Indoor seating
Irma K.

Found this nice restaurant in Kihei. We went on a Sunday and had a brunch menu. They were friendly and nice. They have an indoor as well as outdoor seating area. The food tasted good but portions were small for the price. The yogurt and granola was very plain as well as the waffle special. We may come back to try dinner but breakfast was a little expensive. Maybe try other options on the menu.

Customized Cheese Pizza with Artichoke, Chicken, Extra Cheese, Onions, and Sun Dried Tomato.
Keith T.

Late March 2025 we were in the mood for Italian flavors. After a decade of visiting Kihei, we looked up Fabiani's and had a nice meal and a great time in this neighborhood spot. We customized a Cheese Pizza with Artichoke, Chicken, Extra Cheese, Onions, and Sun Dried Tomato, *phew*! I ordered their House Margherita Pizza made with red sauce, although I prefer white sauce on this pie. I also ordered one meatball on the side to try it out; it was flavorful and I'll have Spaghetti and Meatballs on a future visit. An iced tea and a water were our drinks; we're not drinking much alcohol, lately. The pizzas were good. Fabiani's thin crust pizzas have enough body and crispness to hold the toppings of our custom pizza. The Margherita was lightly dressed and good on the thin crust. The iced tea was fun for us to figure out; she immediately said Hibiscus Tea with something else in it. I took a sip and said, Raspberry. The staffer who offered us a sprinkling of Parmesan on our pizzas said we were both right: their iced tea is a Hibiscus-Raspberry blend! We enjoyed the restaurant. It appeared to be a favorite with bar patrons drinking and visiting. Most of the table patrons appeared to be neighborhood folks. It wasn't crowded on a week night. It's plain to see that the Canadians are avoiding Hawaii because of the turn in National politics, and it was after Semester Break.

12" The Maui Meaty Gluten Free Crust Pizza
josh D.

What happened to this place? Food and service has fallen. And desserts hit serious shrinkflation.. make them smaller or raise the price, don't do both! Owner was running the resister tonight and not sure he's best suited for that job. Place was empty. Food came out wrong. Our table never got bread. Water never refilled. Guess that's why you add the tip when you order because no one would tip otherwise. That said the food was okay. Will just get it to go next time.

Fabiani's Pizza - 12 inch
Lynda H.

When we arrived for lunch they had a three piece group playing. They were good, but way too loud for such a small place, so we opted for eating outside which was lovely. We shared a 12-inch pizza adding our favorites to our sides. I had artichokes and mushrooms on my side; hubby had pepperoni, mushrooms, onions. We had arugula over the whole pizza. I love thin crust especially when it's crispy which this one was except on part of the bottom. It was tasty but there were very few mushrooms on either side, and very little sauce. The pepperoni was tasty and not at all greasy. There were adequate artichokes, onions and arugula. The outside area was clean and comfortable. The staff was attentive, and helpful. It's located off the main streets, but parking at the door. Also, the Friends of Maui Library Bookstore is just a few steps away, a plus! The pizza was good except for part of the bottom being soggy. When we return to the island we may try again.

This is what I got. VERY TASTY. even if you're not vegan or gluten free.

Updating past review. Unfortunately, the vegan bolognese is not the same at all. I'm so devastated as it used to be the most amazing dish! It's now penne pasta (not homemade pappardelle) and the sauce is so thin -couldn't find any of the "meat" or "parm" topping. They added mushrooms on it at least but it was like something I could make at home. The pizza was a confusion - I ordered online to try to make it easy so I didn't know they added a 14" pizza. Well it's a completely different crust than their delicious 12" crust type. The 12" Is the kind I like. Also my bad, I realized on Apple Pay I just pressed buy with 1 button and it didn't add a tip in!? So I feel really bad about that as it's not the workers fault the food isn't as good. I wish I could leave a $100 tip to get the yummy version vegan bolognese back!!!

12" Maui Veggie Pizza jam packed with toppings
Mark N.

I'm updating the review to 5 stars because I originally docked them a star because they cost more than I expected (these were higher than DC prices). But the menu showed the correct price and the taste/quality met/exceeded the expectation even at that price. 5 stars because I would definitely visit (and pay extra) again

Seafood Special & Gnocchi
Hailley B.

Service was okay, you have to order everything at the counter before you sit down. Maybe that's why I didn't get anything other than my entree. When they come to give you cheese on top, they use an electric cheese grader and it's so awkward Food was good and very very delicious but portions are way too small for the price...

Special mom's dessert for Mother's Day made by the fabulous Michelle Fabiani
Kirsty S.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Fabiani's twice on Mother's Day, once for breakfast and again for dinner. Each visit was nothing short of delightful! Breakfast: The breakfast menu is a true treat! We indulged in over 8 breakfast items which were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. The quality of the ingredients really shines through, and we appreciated the generous portions. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it a perfect start to Mother's Day. The co-owner iMichelle Fabiani and Mike were actually in the kitchen that morning cooking and baking making sure everything turned out perfect. The staff is always very pleasant and polite accommodating to all the customers needs. Dinner: For dinner, we ordered about eight entrées to split with each other], and it overly satisfied our Italian craving since we just finished washing the movie Nonna's after breakfast, which is about Italian grandmother's cooking. The flavors were well-balanced, and it was evident that they take pride in their culinary creations. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall experience. Pastries: No visit to Fabiani's would be complete without trying their pastries! We sampled almost one of everything between both of our visits and it was heavenly. The perfect combination of flaky and rich, it was the ideal sweet ending to my meals. The red velvet cake is to die for, and in my opinion, one of the best desserts in the world Overall, my experiences at Fabiani's were fantastic. I highly recommend visiting this gem in Maui for anyone looking for delicious food and delightful pastries. I can't wait to return! I have frequented this restaurant dozens of times since they've opened and we also really enjoy the happy hour that they have with half off their amazing pizzas ---

Is there still happy hour? If so did the seating issue get resolved? Thanks

I was there in August and there was a happy hour but only if you sit at the bar. If I'm not mistaken, it was only between 2 and 5 pm.

Do they take reservations for parties on 10?

So you have gluten free options available?

Ya they have GF pizzas for sure. And they're really tasty.

Are you open this morning am?

According to their website the restaurant is open from 7 AM to 11 AM for breakfast. From 11 AM to 4 PM for lunch and 4 PM to 9:30 PM for dinner. They actually close at 9:00… 

Do they offer a kids menu?

Yes they do. They also have a dedicated kids play area so you can eat while the kids play.

Do they take reservations for dinner?

No reservations. Walk-ins only

I've been to the Monkeypod kitchen in Ko'Olina, Oahu, and I have nothing but positives to say about that location. When my father wanted to take the family to this particular location on Maui I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, we were severely let down. When we sat down, main server asked me probably 3-4 times if I wanted anything other than water, and finally I caved and got a maI tai. After I finished it, he asked me another 3-4 times if I wanted another one, despite me telling him I was good after the first one. I appreciate attentive service, but the guy was incessant and trying to upsell us. As far as dinner goes, Food started to trickle out slowly over the next 5-10 minutes, and it was clear that the kitchen wasn't organized. I ordered the bulgogi tacos, one of my favorites at the other location. Unfortunately, they were lukewarm. The worst part was, they completely forgot about my father, who only ordered fries, and when he received them, they were lukewarm, limp and soggy. After my father asked for the tab, he noticed there wasn't a mandatory tip included for the wait staff, but there was actually a separate 4% tip for the kitchen. Since when is this a thing? How about you pay your kitchen a livable wage and quit putting it on the customers? So my father refused the pre-selected 20% tip and tried to put in a "custom" tip of 16% of the bill, which when added to the 4% would have been a total of 20% - in my opinion pretty generous, considering the lackluster service. Here's where it got bad. The server was practically breathing down his neck while he entered his tip, and when he was handed the payment gizmo because it wouldn't take the tip amount, loudly exclaimed "That's not enough!" and then threw it down on the table and stormed off. How demeaning and embarrassing! Is this how you treat customers here? I helped my mortified father figure out how to make the machine accept his tip (despite my suggestion that we drop the amount down to a penny) and we left without another word. Monkeypod, shame on you for: - embarrassing my father, who is a very generous man, - employing wait staff that openly demeans their customers, - serving us mediocre, lukewarm food, - and demanding an extra 4% for the kitchen that didn't take any pride in what they made. What a shame.

It's the first place I think of to eat at anytime I am in Kihei around mealtime. The pizza is so good. You can tell the ingredients are high quality, especially the cheese. It's a thicker crust style, which may not be everyone's favorite, but they do really well. Another bright spot here is the antipasto salad. It's a must for us, although I am vegetarian so we get the meats on the side which they ate happy to accommodate. The house vinaigrette is great, but the ranch here is home made and absolutely amazing on both salad and pizza! I specifically came here to write a review today because of the service. It's so good. All the servers are nice and professional, but the bartender (sorry man, I don't know your name!) is absolutely exceptional. He's attentive, proactive with his service, and really friendly. It's not hard to be good at service, but this guy clearly takes pride in his work and puts in the extra work to make his service truly great. You are very appreciated! The only downside to this place is that it is in Kihei and I live upcountry so I cant go as much as I'd like to.
