Bistro Casanova is smooth, elegant, exquisite and fun. A tropical landscaping refreshes the air surrounding the outside al fresco tables. Bistro Casanova offers Mediterranean fare, its roots coming from the Cinque Terre in Italy where the owner comes from. Its menu reaches some classic of the European cuisine: Paella for two, Cioppino, Focaccias, Grigliata plates of grilled meat or fish large enough to share, prime cuts of steaks are between the favorites, next to an excellent selection of pastas and fresh salads. Locally grown ingredients are used extensively, as well as the freshest fish from Maui's ocean. Bistro Casanova is a favorite for Happy Hour relaxation, watered by specialty martinis and carafes of mojito and margaritas.
Tapas (available after 4pm) can be a tasty complement to your drinks, an opening line for your dinner, or dinner itself. At dinner, Bistro Casanova is a romantic destination for meals before a show or the perfect stop before flying out of Maui.

    Broad View: The food is the saving grace of Bistro Casanova. If your are looking for a special experience (anniversary, valentines, etc.) then I would look elsewhere. However, if you looking for a nice date with some great food, this is the place to go. Food: DELICIOUS and big portions! I had the Paelle (saffron rice tossed with mussels, clams, scallops, chicken and sausage) and my girlfriend had a Mauka (new your strip steak, lamb chops, chicken, sausage). Both options were spectacular. Ambiance: Nothing awful but definitely not spectacular in any way. A classic Italian restaurant feel. The major downfall is the location, located in the heart of Kahului and near industrial Wailuku don’t expect any romantic walks afterwards. Service: Our server was nice and attentive however there was a a slight air of unprofessionalism throughout the service team. Nothing bad for an average date night but not the team I want attending to me during a special night.

    We had an awesome birthday experience! Betty was our server and she made our dinner amazing. Knew exactly what to recommend on the menu for us and was very personable with our special dinner. The food was one of the best dinners we had on the island. The location is very skeptical but absolutely worth it. We love everything about our experience and will definitely be back!!
