- BBenHawaii •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoAbsolutely delicious Italian food with all home made pasta and wood burning pizza. We had each ;) We took our 3 little children here for dinner last night for Valentine’s Day and it was loud and energetic, and we loved it!! It’s an Italian place, c’mon!! The service was the best we’ve had on island- as it always is, and the food came out piping HOT- the way we like it! There are no complaints! We didn’t have to worry about our kids being too loud bc it’s an energetic restaurant that had live music. Our night couldn’t have been any better. We will definitely return.More infoCasanova Italian RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Makawao•4.7
- KKyleHawaii •7 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoFirst time to the restaurant since the ownership transition; love the atmosphere and view. No heating or padded seats in the outdoor seating section, but it was a fun experience being in our own little gazebo, and we so appreciate the distance our waitress and waitstaff go to bring your meals: a great tea selection, warm bowl of French onion soup and a hot pizza are options to warm you up on a cold day; a cute market is available on property if you need a sweatshirt; anticipate a 20 degree temp change from your favorite beach.More infoKula Lodge & Restaurant, Inc.Price: Expensive• Contemporary American• Upcountry•4.6
- LLynnVIPSacramento / Sacramento Valley •32 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoJust make the drive here. The locals and frequent travelers to Maui already know about this fabulous restaurant…but if you are a newbie, please “just do it”.. you will not regret it. We have been coming to HGS 1-2 times a year for decades. I cannot imagine traveling to Maui without at least one stop here for lunch or dinner. It’s no longer the original owner, however we’ve been back at least five times since the sale and the quality of food is still exemplary! The dining here far exceeds any other place on the island. The ribs have always been a favorite, along with the mahi mahi ….. and the appetizers are spectacular. We are not typically dessert foodies, however you cannot leave here without sharing the award winning Pineapple Upside down cake. Thank you, Franchesco, for stopping by our table to chat ! We appreciate the family friendly atmosphere! We will be back in April!More infoHaliimaile General StorePrice: Expensive• Hawaii Regional Cuisine• Makawao•4.7
