My wife and I eat here several times each trip to Maui, and it is the best! They are great with food allergies, the food is delicious and reasonably priced!! It's always our first place to eat and we will even catch a meal on our way to the airport The owner Juan Gomez, as busy as he is, always has time for a chit chat!
Good food, good prices! Nice private patio. Loved all the gluten free options.
Pasta, pizza, calamari - all very delicious. Portions are just right to eat.
Great little place. Good food at reasonable prices. Had pasta and a nice glass of Chiante
A million thank you's for offering vegan cheese! My flatbread pizza was super tasty and I CAN'T WAIT TO come back a few more times to try the pasta. Mmm.
See my Facebook for pictures of our food and comments. So glad we dined there (4!30/17)!!!
Everytime we're on Maui, this is a MUST stop for a bite to eat. GREAT food and friendly service!!
Juan at Penne Pasta makes the best tacos on Maui!!
Great food, location by the beach with lots of parking options. Very affordable for Lahaina. One of our favorites when we visit
If you like spicy, tasty food get the penne puttanesca. It was spot on. The kids loved the baked penned with pink sauce and the NY style baked pasta. It was hot and cheesy. The goat cheese and mushroom pizza was thin, light and tasty. Overall great, reasonably priced Italian food. We got the chocolate mousse for dessert. It was thick and delicious 🤤
This restaurant was cute. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table which was super quick for us. We ordered the garlic bread with cheese, penne pasta, and nicoise salad. We thought the garlic bread was good, a little more well done than we would like. My salad was delicious, the penne was a little watery but still good. Overall, it was a great meal before our drive and hike to Haleakalā.
Fanfrickentabulous! We are gluten free and this establishment knows what that means. Fresh ingredients, different cooking utensils! Amazing! The GF pizza crust was amazing! Highly recommend! The owner is amazing too! Did I mention that this place is amazing!

Was VERY impressed by the friendly staff, the taste of the food, and the atmosphere of the establishment. Prices were high compared to the mainland, but the experience was enjoyable enough to rate it and regard it highly. Recommended!
Came here with my father and we enjoyed a nice quiet meal of some really delectable pasta! My dad got a Caesar salad with the fettuccine alfredo and a chicken add in, while I got the baked penne and we both shared a garlic mozzarella cheese bread.
Of the Caesar salad, my dad said it was "good" with no extra notes.
Of the fettuccine alfredo with chicken, my dad said he prefers a thicker sauce but enjoyed the taste and the noodles.
Regarding the baked penne, it came in a ceramic bowl and it stayed hot the entire time which was awesome, kept the cheese all melty the whole course of the meal. It was also amazing when I dipped the garlic mozzarella bread into it. But the taste was really good and I finished my entire plate.
I do have to say the show stopper is the garlic mozzarella bread. Good heavens! That is incredible. It would be worth it to go back here and just to share one of these with a friend. It is absolutely to die for and when combining it with the different sauces of the pastas that really elevated the experience to a completely new level. I will dream about that bread. Please get it.
Overall I would recommend the establishment. Like I said I'm not very keen on the prices ($65+ for two people). They are MUCH higher than I would like and much higher than I think is fair, however, at least the food was delicious unlike some other establishments that I've been to while in Maui that had overpriced food and did not have the taste to back it.
Thank you Penne Pasta Cafe! I hope to return with my family. Thank you for the excellent meal!
This place smells like a true Italian restaurant. Food is decent and reasonably priced. It tastes like it was made by your Italian grandma if you have one. We ordered 2 vegetable dishes because it was hard to find healthy and green food in Lahaina.
A local gem. Tasty Italian food for the whole family & not at touristy prices. A simple & affordable selection of wines by the glass or bottle. Less that 10 minutes from ordering to table service. Not fancy, but delicious & affordable. You’ll likely see chickens walking around & sometimes crossing the road. You’ll 100% hear the chickens.
Really liked coming here and having some Italian food. Went with the chicken fettuccine and it was very good, regret not getting some Penne Pasta though. If you’re looking for a spot that’s not super crazy in Lahaina and you want good food this is the stop.
Quaint local restaurant that's been here for a long time. The owner is also very much involved in the community and providing food. The menu is varied and the food is good The prices are extremely reasonable. Nice outdoor seating available.
Delicious baked penne, seafood spaghetti mozzarella sticks and tiramisu! 🤤
It is a nice little restaurant. The pastas are ok and the ratio quantity/price is decent. I would have preferred a more punchy sauce, something more special.
Don’t let the casual dinning and sitting fool you, the food is absolutely gorgeous!
We had Penne Pomodoro and Fettuccine Alfredo and it was filling and tasty. Fettuccine pasta had perfect texture and sauce was silky smooth. Pomodoro’s red sauce was fresh, I could taste fresh basil and tomato in eat bite. Quantity of each dish was good for one, we ordered two and shared among our little family.
For my LO I ordered from kids menu - penne sautéed in butter. It was kind of ok taste wise, but slight dry - I don’t blame the chef. I would recommend the same dish maybe for kids as well because the sauce makes it perfect for kids.
The setting is casual, you order, pay and pick your number. Get you glasses of water and wait for server to bring you food. Enjoy!!!
Good little cafe. Great Italian food. The pasta was really tasty. The chicken salad sandwich was amazing 🤩
A small little hidden gem that I saw recommended online. The pasta doesn't taste fresh at all, tastes like boxed pasta. But the Bolognese was actually pretty good. Overall great price for some good food.
Had the lasagna...delicious. Staff friendly. Appears to be close to community. Pleasant atmosphere. Menu had several options for different dietary flavors. Serves beer & wine.
The food is good, the atmosphere is perfect. Great vibes, good prices. I had the chicken picatta and it was tender, pasta was cooked perfect! Must eats of Maui
Food was good not great. Ate it all b/c we were craving pasta. Caesar salad was great. Fettuccine Alfredo and chicken Parm were just ok. Red sauce should be married with sauce. A little more effort on seasoning(aka salt) could make this spot a real gem especially considering its location.
What a nice treat for our party of 5, including 2 vegetarian teens. Love the set up - order and then be seated. Our appetizers came out promptly followed our entrees. All I can say is we had no leftovers to take home. On a quiet side street with outdoor eating - we REALLY enjoyed this dinner. Pleasant change from the Front street noise.
Ordered through DoorDash. Got the pesto linguine, add garlic shrimp, and the clam sauce spaghetti. Absolutely fantastic! Their addiction of garlic ahi is also well worth it!
Great service. This is an order at the counter style place and they bring it out - it is priced accordingly and very reasonable. Chicken parm was great tonight. We actually like the fact the red sauce is a little more “watery” then dense - got a nice flavour to it and the chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and tasty inside. I have been here numerous times and would recommend getting pasta over flatbread. All pastas are great including the baked penne and Alfredo. Nice place off Front St and has patio seating as well.
