    A restaurant must have good food, good service and a good atmosphere. Matteo’s did not disappoint. The food was amazing! The service exceptional. Kiana made us feel like family and elevated our experience to a new level. The vibe is great. Epic evening!

    We went here for dinner near the end of our stay in Maui and we have to say, we wish we had eaten here early on as the food and staff were so good, we would have gone back a few more times. When we arrived we were quickly seated after a few COVID protocols were followed. The waiter Suke came over and introduced himself and it just kept getting better after that. Suke was clearly knowledgeable with a warm and friendly disposition. He made some great recommendations on the meals and wine pairings. He explained how all of the food was prepared fresh and all of the pasta on the menu are handmade in house. The food came out efficiently from the kitchen where Matteo himself was running the show on this night. The braised short rib and the butternut squash ravioli in a sage and butter sauce were sublime while someone else in our group had one of the best lasagna dishes he has ever had. The desserts were as equally delicious with a flourless chocolate cake that was so light and decadent it melted in your mouth. The absolute star of the dessert options in my opinion was Matteo's own take on an Italian favorite, the cannoli. The shell was light, thin and freshly made with almost a crip cookie texture and a coconut cream filling that was one of the most delicious sweets we have ever tasted. Last but not least, we noticed at the end of our meal when leaving that Guy Fieri (Food Network star) had visited and also left his stamp of approval on the wall. You need to visit Matteo's when in the area, you will not be disappointed!

    Matteo's is a wonderful Italian restaurant with an outstanding wine selection and menu. The ambiance is a comfortable locals place with a fantastic wait staff. Sue, our waitress, made excellent wine pairing recommendations.

    Great Italian restaurant in Wailea. Everything is made from scratch. Had the eggplant parm. It is an appetizer size but delicious. The pizza is great with a nice crunchy crust.

    Vibe is great. Staff was super friendly and accommodating. I understand us being in a strange and very hard time with the covid pandemic but I still find it unsettling when presented with a time limit for dinner. The time we received our food that time limit was already met and we felt rushed towards the end. I would highly recommend the pizza which was amazing. The ravioli left a bit to be desired. Very good wine list but every bottle was double the average cost. This would be more tolerable if we didn’t feel rushed. Over all good. It stays busy so make reservations if going.

    First time out in weeks, but here for dinner and to support a local business. We were greeted at our table by Kiana who I thought has the best personality of almost any server that I’ve ever had. Great food, wine selection, and atmosphere! Lots of other people there too, enjoying themselves!

    My friends and I went for happy hour. Food is awesome where we didn't notice time passing.. Happy hour starts t 3 pm I forget till what time... Regular entree starts at 5 pm. We order different food on the menu so we could try everything.. I had the black ink pasta and it's a bomb! Pasta is freshly made both bolognese and my black ink fettuccine. All the foods are great. The ambiance is perfect. We will ll definitely going back.

    Went here recently as this is one of our favorite places to dine. We know it's Maui where prices are more and inflation is always going up, but this visit it seems their prices have exceeded the value. $95 for two entrees before tax/tip. One was a fish special, the other a veggie pasta dish. Won't cirique the waiter for being a bit aloof. Always a great meal, but will explore other options next time.

    great food and service. gluten friendly options. only downside is there is no ocean view!

  • 5/5 Jen P. 7 months ago on Google
    This was a real hidden gem, tucked away in a strip mall. The atmosphere was beautiful and the service superb. The pastas are made fresh by Matteo himself in the kitchen. I had the gnocchi special and it was amazing. All the salads and table foccacia were really delicious. The other dishes missed the mark only slightly with less flavor. We found this to be a trend on the island though- less robust flavors in general. Still would highly recommend!

    Had a lovely dinner at the bar. Our bartender was attentive, casual, and did a great job serving us and making the restaurant their drinks. I loved the ahi tuna dish and the meatballs.

  • 5/5 Tracy J. 5 months ago on Google
    Local gem. Don't pass up the flourless chocolate cake with strawberry Maui gelato...the best we have ever had. Kiani is an amazing waitress. If open table reservations showing no availability, call them!

    I was on Maui for a 1-night business trip, and this place was right near my hotel. I remembered seeing it on Triple D. So, of course, I had to go. I was not impressed. My app was the tiger shrimp, and my entree was the Bolognese. I found both to be lacking in flavor. The decor and ambience are great. And the service was also great. But I left there feeling underwhelmed. Not a bad place, just unspectacular.

    Service was better than many Michelin star restaurants (Michael was our fantastic waiter). Delicious, no-nonsense food. Definitely will keep coming back for the pizza.

  • 5/5 Lindsay W. 11 months ago on Google
    Michael was an amazing server, and the food was delicious! Will definitely return here if we are ever back on the island !

  • 5/5 Suzi S. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the one restaurant I couldn't wait to try, and now it's the one restaurant I can't wait to get back to. Made reservations weeks in advance (highly suggested). Restaurant itself is airy with great a great playlist. Started with the Pugliese salad and the Tonno bruschetta. The salad was delicious and unexpected, I couldn't get enough. The tuna was so fresh and delightful, I would have not expected it to be on bruschetta. I might have preferred it sans bread more. Huge wine list by the bottle, was expecting more on the by the glass side. Daughter had Chicken Parm - organic chicken with a delicious breading. Husband got the Bolognese. I hit the jackpot with the Butternut squash Ravioli. I ate very slowly and cut the pieces small to enjoy every bite (and so excited that I forgot to take a picture..all that was left was the sage leaf). It was out of this world! Mille grazie for our amazing meals. We'd love to return.

    I recently visited Matteo’s Osteria for my anniversary and had a wonderful experience. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We tried the bruschetta, gnocchi all of which were cooked to perfection. Additionally, they have a wide range of wine selections to choose from. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or just a night out.

  • 5/5 Charlotte L. 1 year ago on Google
    We brought my dad and stepmother here while they were on vacation. They agreed that it was the best Italian they have ever had. Michael was our server, and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. He made us feel like VIPs. He helped us choose the perfect wine for our dinner. They, also, have a decent selection of vegan and vegetarian options. From beginning to end, this place knocked it out of the park.

    This place wouldn’t be bad maybe if we went with 0 expectations. 3.5 out of 10, food is overpriced for what it is. Very far from true Italian cuisine. Servers are nice! Would not recommend.

  • 4/5 Jeff H. 1 year ago on Google
    First time dining at Matteo's and definitely not the last. The Frutti Di Mare is pretty awesome. My wife had the Gnocchi which was pretty awesome as well. They have made my list of must visit places in Maui.

  • 5/5 Sebastian T. 2 years ago on Google
    Italian food at its finest! I was surprised to find such delightful Italian cuisine in the middle of Hawaii. We tried Golosa, Fettuccine Frutti di Mare, Costolette and Coconut Cannoli. Golosa was very good but nothing can outshine the Costolette. It was so good that I could not get enough of it. Just to point out I have high standards. I highly recommend Costolette. I think it's the best Beef Short Ribs I ever had.

  • 5/5 Mason F. 2 years ago on Google
    Michael was amazing. Perfectly paired the wine and food together. Best to leave all choices to the server and let them create the experience for you. Carlotta (the GM) stopped by to make sure it we were having a great time. I can’t wait to come back for another amazing experience.
