Came by for an early dinner to celebrate our wedding anniversary and enjoyed ourselves. The service, drinks and food were awesome, and there wasn't a long wait. Highly recommend them

The Filet Mugnon was grilled as ordered, served hot with whipped potatoes and sautéed veggies. Delicious and fresh. Cold drinks and salad too. The Focaccia was freshly baked and hot.

Excellent server and attentive staff, very friendly. Fresh and hot focaccia bread is delicious. Fresh served cold salads with large portions and the lamb shank special was the best, served hot with oso bucco.

Cassanova's is definitely the best Upcountry restaurant for any time — date night, quick bite, special occasion. Consistently delicious flavors, a very respectable wine list, a cool bar if that's where you want to be, cozy vibes. We love the Etruscan chicken and the specials like the veal marsala. The mashed potatoes are better than a grandma's. Kids love this restaurant too and the pasta selections are extensive and delicious. The staff is in a nice groove. Thank goodness for this establishment! I wish I could get a monthly meal pass and eat there 2x per week.

Our families favorite place to eat upcountry. Service is quick and the staff are all so kind. The place is clean and spaced well. Food is so fresh and delicious, I always get the Beverly Hills pasta... it's amazing! Only con is the $$$, but hey everything nowadays is. I highly recommend Casanovas in Makawao

had a wonderful evening out with good friends at one of our favorite restaurants in Makawao. My dinner was outstanding. the "Beverly Hills" pasta is highly recommended. I wish I remembered our servers name. he was great.

This place made me have food poisoning. Do not eat here. It's a beautiful setting but the food is not worth it and left me feeling sick.

The food was so good I have no problem overlooking the delays in getting extra bread (which was also great). Had the spicy pasta special dish and my friend had the chicken. Both outstanding! Will definitely return.

Up country residents. Hadn't been in well over a year due to last experience (s). Family here from mainland ... thought what the heck . We went Friday night... everything on point. Food, service excellent. Family from small town in Az. No decent Italian food. They loved it so much we went back last night. Friday was not a fluke... just as good Saturday night. The whole staff was eyeing each table to refill water, asking if we wanted more bread. .... But you did not feel bothered or rushed. Entrees were fresh and very nice portions that reheated well for lunch next day. Whatever happened there over the last year .. keep it up! We will be back
Too loud. Otherwise, very nice restaurant fish (white) special was very good, prepared piccata style. Gnocchi were delicious although different from my normal. Salad was too large for both of us to share and should've been played it separately. Overall, very good.

Cold drinks and fresh baked focaccia to start. Cesar and kalesar served fresh and cold with large portions. The Bucatini Bolognese with house made pasta and meat sauce was delicious and hot. The Bar server is always friendly and attentive.

I am sick with Covid and had a friend call up an hour in advance and ask for a 7 o’clock pick up and my friend comes in at 7 o’clock and they make them wait A half an hour for food. This is uncalled for poor treatment and I will never eat at this place again, and on top of it, the quality of food keeps going down !!! And I no longer will give this place any bussiness. Last 4 times I have ordered I’ve been dragged and told “it’s the business and it’s busy” sorry I own my own place in town and treat my people like platinum and that’s why I’m glad they opened the Irish pub up he block. I’d rather give Danny the money!!!
