Best Italian Restaurants in Wailea

We live in island and this is our go-to place for a nice dinner and also when friends come from the mainland to visit. They have a big menu with lots of choices but I always get the Rib-eye steak. Its the best I’ve had on island and i think I have had them all. Nice atmosphere next to the golf course and not ridiculous island prices.

Holy moly! This place used to be a sad poolside restaurant like Chili’s. No more! It was absolutely amazing! I’m so glad they made this a fine dining (ish) restaurant with excellent food. Meatballs and charcoal pizza were phenomenal and the grilled salad was excellent. Yes, it’s touristy Maui prices but that’s what you expect. Lori was the best waitress!!!

So good - I just keep coming back - great cocktails- salad - specials - wine - dessert - and a port - the best-

Casanova has been a favorite go-to dinner restaurant for my girlfriends and myself for many years. We start off with freshly baked focaccia bread, still warm from the oven, cut into easily manageable single serving cubes, served with a generous portion of olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping, and enjoyi our bread while we peruse both the wine offerings and dinner menu. Our choice of wine was a lovely Montepulciano from Italy. Although the antipasti (appetizers) called to us, we bypassed them to save room for the main course. Our entrees this evening included the Mediterranean salad, chock full of crispy fresh greens and veggies, flavorful feta cheese, and kalamata olives in a homemade lemon vinaigrette dressing; Tagliolini Alla Checca, a type of ribbon pasta mixed in with organic spinach, pine nuts, garlic, capers, and fresh Roma tomatoes with a touch of shaved parmesan cheese; and lastly, a classic Italian dish of Fettuccine in a rich creamy sauce—all three of them generous, satisfying servings, leaving no room for dessert. Our waiter Christopher was as charming and efficient as could be, appearing when needed, and leaving us to enjoy our time together without interrupting.

We had another wonderful experience at Ferraro’s celebrating my wife’s birthday. The food was spectacular, and the service was world-class. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we lost track of time and were the last party to leave. Not once, did the team rush us out or make us feel uncomfortable. We always dine at Ferraro’s when we are on the Wailea side of the island.
