"We went to dinner near the end of our stay in Maui and we have to say we wish we had eaten here early as the food and the staff were so good, we would have gone a few more times. When we arrived, we sat quickly after some COVID protocols. The waiter Suke came over and imagined, and it became better and better. Suke was clearly understandable with a warm and friendly arrangement. He made some great recommendations for meals and wine pairings. He explained how all foods were freshly prepared and the whole pasta on the menu in the house are handmade. The food came out efficiently from the kitchen where Matteo himself ran the show this night. The braided short rib and the Butternuss-Quash-Ravioli in a sage and butter sauce were sublimed while someone else in our group had one of the best Lasagna dishes he had ever had. The desserts were also delicious with a flourless chocolate cake that was so light and decadent that it melted into the mouth. The absolute star of dessert options, in my opinion, was Matteo taking his own on an Italian favorite, the Cannoli. The bowl was light, thin and fresh with almost one cripple cookie texture and a coconut cream filling that was one of the most delicious sweets we ever tasted. Last but not least, at the end of our meal, we noticed that Guy Fieri (Food Network Star) had visited and also left his stamp of permission on the wall. You need to visit Matteo when in the area, you will not be disappointed!"
