Best Italian Restaurants in Lahaina

First the negative. We had a 7:00pm reservation. Did not get seated until almost 7:30. Nobody came to take our order for another 15 minutes. Then 3 people came consecutively. Now for the good news. The food was outstanding and well worth the confusion and wait time. My wife says the pesto was the best she has ever had. The owner came over to chat when we were done eating. and we had a very nice conversation. The entire staff was extremely welcoming and the live music was subtle and enjoyable. I wish I had found this restaurant earlier in our 3 week stay as I would have gone back multiple times to try other dishes. Everything was worth waiting for.

We’d been there before . The steaks were familiarly delicious& cooked to taste. I love their Tierra del Fuego signature drink! Had 2 ( Gome is 1/4-1/2 mi. away) Waitress Denise was attentive & efficient,&,as it turns out, used to work /w/ my husband. A great night out!!! Thanks, Fuego. I missed the Argentine tango music hey used to play, & hope they bring it back! Also… the building needs a more sound absorbent ceiling g!

Food and drinks were outstanding. Staff was even better. We arrived early for our reservation and the staff got us right in. Thank you!!

I’ve always had a good dining experience at Longhis Restaurant whether it was in Lahaina, Wailea or Kaanapali. I have to say the best experience was at Kaanapali last night. The view was breathtaking, the food delicious and our dining neighbors were very friendly. Our server Gerry was the best. She was knowledgeable concerning the menu, very friendly and easy going. She helped make our dining there memorable.

Taverna is an absolutely extraordinary dining experience!! The setting is gorgeous with inside and outside dining with spectacular golf course and mountain views. The food is exceptional (4 star as a result of inconsistency with pistachio crusted Ahi. 1st night, one of the top 2% Ahi steaks I've ever had. Two nights later, not at all tasty and off texture. SAD) My Cioppino on different two nights was excellent, and everything was made with attention to several food allergy restrictions. My husband's favorite was the Veal Ossobuco. He said it melted in his mouth, and the marrow was intact for consuming and savoring. I can't even begin to say enough about the staff (Chewie, Lance, Audrey, Natalie, Christina, Bec, and the Chef!!!). They are an amazing team who work hard towards customer satisfaction and appear to love what they do. ROCK STAR professionals. We can’t wait for our next Maui visit a year from now and dining at Taverna as many nights as we can. PS We make reservations here far in advance on the day they open them up ( 60 days) prior to our trip.
