Maui Pasta

This place is a true hidden gem! We happened upon this place because we were running errands and I found it on Yelp! It’s tucked away in a small plaza next to Yama sushi. Not only does this place serve Italian food, but it also serves Hawaiian fare as well! We were greeted warmly and given both menus. Our hearts were already set on Italian food, so we ordered shrimp scampi and one of the combo plates—fettuccine alfredo, salad and garlic bread. While we waited for our food, we were given a sample of their rosemary grissini & artichoke dip. WOW! Beautifully baked and seasoned grissini and a creamy artichoke dip with just a hint of fresh lemon. Just tasting that little morsel, we knew we were in for a delicious lunch! Our waitress told us that everything is freshly made—pasta, sauces, bread, desserts--everything! And you can tell! They are so proud of the food they make because there is so much love and care they put into it. They also have ready made meals to go in case you’re in a hurry. While we were there, we saw a teriyaki bowl. It looked divine! They had a case full of decadent desserts from tiramisu, pies, cheesecake, cookies to two types of panna cotta! They also have their fresh pasta, pasta sauces, dips and salad dressings packaged and ready for purchase in their refrigerated section. Lavosh, grissini, focaccia bread, breadsticks and so much more are also freshly baked and ready to take home. Our food was delivered by one of the chefs and he was also friendly, letting us know that they make their own pasta and sauces. Everything looked phenomenal. The fettuccine alfredo was creamy and cheesy. Caesar dressing on the salad was top notch. THE GARLIC BREAD. I could have eaten a whole basket of the garlic bread with the alfredo sauce and called it a day! Haha! That is a must get! The shrimp in the scampi was large, juicy and perfectly cooked. It paired nicely with the lemon, butter, white wine sauce. We were too full to eat dessert there, but we did buy the vanilla panna cotta with passion fruit to take home. When we did get into it, it was SO GOOD. There is nothing this place can’t do! Service 10/10. Food 10/10. We are definite fans and we will be back. We hope whoever reads this review will give this place a try. You won’t be sorry! Support local!

I was excited about trying this place because of the favorable reviews. However I was sorely disappointed. I ordered angel hair with vodka sauce and grilled chicken. Noodles were mushy and had no substance to them, tasted like eating baby food. The vodka sauce was okay, but there wasn’t enough to coat all the noodles since it started to clump together. The garlic bread was the best item I tasted. For the prices being charged, there are several other Italian and Pasta restaurants that are more worth the time and money.

Very good food. We ordered Maui Pasta via Door Dash. Our food was still hot when it arrived. Good portion sizes and good flavor.

I eat here 2 to 3 times a week. Don't let the name fool you. If you are looking for true Italian food look no further. The chef study in Italy and it shows. Their pasta is made fresh daily along with their sauces. The serve is excellent too. Thank you Debbie for introducing me to you amazing food.
