Sale Pepe - Lahaina

You will not be disappointed with a visit to this wonderful little Italian restaurant. The food and the service are both outstanding!

We were on vacation in Hawaii and were able to make a reservation at Sale Pepe. We were thrilled with the whole experience. Truly the food was some of the best we had while on Maui, and we tried a number of excellent restaurants. The Italian food was as good as any we have had in Italy!

This restaurant serves Great Italian food including super pizzas and pastas!! The aromas from the kitchen were mouth watering!!! It is hard to find these flavours on Maui! I would recommend this restaurant but make a RESERVATION as they are really busy!!

We got smart this time and split items as to taste even more dishes! The Gorgonzola cheese is creamy and a fantastic start. We then drifted to the bruchetta's and had the tomato, chicken liver (it sounds weird but delicious! and the pancetta over a warm hummus. Each order was piled high and two pieces, so plenty for everyone to taste. Then we had a fight over the salad.......the romaine with the lemon dressing was a huge hit and others were gloating over their local green. I still think I won. We then went to various pasta and pizza's of which I was not in on. I stuck with the appetizer size of eggplant parm and for the second time was very happy. The only critique I would give the first visit was the size of the pour for the wine. We fixed that the second visit and ordered very reasonable bottles of wine that were delicious. Overall, am very excited to have a new Italian favorite that I can actually afford with great food and service. Can't wait to go back!

We are frequent visitors to Maui and excited to try new places. Lahaina has very few good options, so we when we read the reviews for this restaurant we worried that it could not be a good as they say and it was, it was great! Our waiter was patient and encouraging with our orders. The menu is straightforward with options to please everyone. We loved the pizza, Napoli style crust. The pasta special with saffron and speck. Excellent calamari and bruschetta. They do not over sauce the pasta and its so fresh, it tastes like Italian food should. The interior is very simple and understated but it perfect for an informal evening in Maui.
