Sale Pepe Pizzeria e Cucina - Italian restaurant in Lahaina - 878 Front St #7,8, USA

If money isn’t an issue I highly recommend I’ll give the service a 4 star. It was Christmas Eve and they were really busy. For the time it took to get our food, if it wasn’t Christmas Eve I’d rate it lower. Our server was really good and did what she could. Food was excellent. I tried a little of all 6 entrees and they were all very tasty Value - this is where it drops. The price doesn’t equal the quality. I take responsibility for not checking the menu first. From my other reviews, I’m not concerned about spending money on great food but this restaurant based on the food is about 25%-30% to high. But in fairness… it was really busy so charge what you want … however, when it isn’t real real busy I’m not sure if they are getting customers to return as often as you want them to. Meaning, next time we go for Italian, we will try another restaurant due to the prices.

Exquisite! The pasta was as good as they say— it really felt authentic Italian and was a nice pívot from the meals we had been having during our trip. Fresh ingredients, great tasting food, and friendly service. We booked at 5:30pm and there was a line out the door starting 30 min later. We got: the rigatoni with speck and mushroom - WOW unique and packed with flavor Tagliatelle with ragu (the special for the night) - fantastic Romaine and lemon salad- great Shrimp crostini- such a fresh great quality shrimp dish

When you need authentic Italian food look no further. Chef Michelle and wife Qiana bring the perfect blend of traditional Italian, New York flair and local Maui ingredients. Fresh, local and delicious every time. You can taste and see the love in every dish. Order a few pizza and pasta for the table and enjoy family style. The rigatoni con speck is my favorite along with an order of polpete. Come hungry and enjoy a delicious Italian meal in a family environment.

Absolutely delicious! Pasta is homemade and tastes like it. Meat balls are so juicy with a great tomato sauce (I normally don't like tomato sauces). We got a pizza to go and my God was it great. Pizza Bianca. It made for a great lunch the next day. The Caesar salad was a bit underwhelming but the other mixed salad was very good. Shrimp were incredible and I wish I had an order to take home. Highly recommend! Edit: Cosign other reviews about the hostess not being friendly. Idk what her deal was but she just had bad vibes and didn't come across friendly. We had a res and showed up and were told to wait - then 2 other parties with the same res showed up and were seated immediately.

So glad we made time for this! This was our last meal before the airport and they were amazing. We didn’t have a reservation but showed up at opening and they were able to fit us in. Everything is from Italy down to the flour or it’s fresh from the island. Everything was delicious and authentic. Our server was Michelle and she was awesome. Loved her recommendations and quality service.

Don't think Italian is normally on the list when you go to Maui, but Wow! We had the meatball pizza and the gnocchi. Pure Italian. Menu was above the norm cuisine you get here usually. It's great to see more restaurants like this in Maui taking it up a notch. You can tell it attracts a different crowd...maybe more local or foodies looking for the best...You will not go wrong with Sale Pepe!

Cute little Italian restaurant with a romantic ambience. I loved the lofi music they played. The restaurant itself was very clean. The food was fresh and delicious. Food and drinks came out in a timely manner. The dish portions were perfect- not too large and not too small. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely visit Sale Pepe again the next time we’re in Maui. I highly recommend visiting Sale Pepe if you get the chance.

The best Italian restaurant in Maui. We started with the Crostini Pomodorini Arrostiti e Ricotta. A savory crustini topped will creamy ricotta, basil, and topped with marinated cherry tomatoes. For the entree I had the special, a delicious braised short rid Ragu. I paired my meal with a dangerously delicious L’ Amarino. It's always a great experience at Sale Pepe.
