Best Italian Restaurants in Haiku

Great service and great food with lovely ambiance

This was our second time going to Fuego. We noticed that it is mostly locals but some tourists go there. The server mentioned it’s about 70/30 ratio. They welcome everyone of course. Just interesting to see that not a lot of tourists know about it. It is out of a tourist area so that’s probably why. The prices are fair for what you get. Between our party of 9, we got two tomahawk steaks (two people can share it), three ribeye steaks, and Linguine with Alfredo sauce and shrimp. Two others chose a different noodle with Alfredo and chicken. We all loved everything. I would say that the Linguine could have had more Alfredo sauce on it. But overall the taste was super good and it was not bland at all. The steaks were cooked perfectly. Everyone in our party chose a different temp and we all were very satisfied with what temp they came out. Our server was very nice and funny. He took great care of us and made sure we had drinks and the food came out timely. We sat outside and loved it. I highly recommend. Much different atmosphere than most of the restaurants on Maui and in a good way. Oh and dress casual or dress up. You decide.

For our last minute reservations at Cassanova’s and a table for five. Great service here from entire staff, our server Chris is friendly and attentive. Cold drinks came right away. Salads were fresh and cold. Our pasta dishes were plentiful and delicious. Meatball dish was tasty, hot and well portioned.

We had a great time at Matteo’s. We were early for our reservation and they accommodated us right away. Our server Michael was amazing and our food was perfect. The overall service and atmosphere was spot on. We plan to be back before we finish this vacation!

Ordered the Veal. Looked like and tasted like Something you could get at a truck stop. Other than that, all was good
