I had high hopes for Matteo’s Osteria, but unfortunately, our experience was incredibly underwhelming. My husband and I dined here for our anniversary, which I noted in our reservation, yet the restaurant made no effort to make our evening special. From the moment we sat down, the service felt unwelcoming. We asked to split a salad, only to be told there was an upcharge just to have it served on two plates—something I’ve never encountered at a restaurant of this caliber. The food itself was mediocre at best, certainly not worth the price. The bread they served was stale, which set the tone for the rest of the meal. Overall, the atmosphere was cold, the food forgettable, and the service disappointing. This was not the kind of experience we wanted for a special occasion, and we will not be returning or recommending it to anyone. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a meaningful moment, I’d suggest going elsewhere.

What a pleasant surprise to find a great Italian Osteria in Wailea. The entire staff was friendly and provided outstanding service throughout the evening. The food reminded me of my last trip to Tuscany. The lasagna was out of this world! Compliments to Michael, our server, host, and sommelier. Highly recommend Matteo’s for an exceptional dining experience!

Our server, Keana was phenomenal! She was incredibly genuine, kind, patient and just overall, lovely. The food was fantastic as well. Everything we ordered was on point. I especially enjoyed the fish special and the bolognese but the short rib and the chicken Parmesan were great too. The entire experience was a really memorable one. We will be back!

Excellent restaurant with favorable dishes. The staff was so attentive and welcoming. Highly recommend. One of the few Maui restaurants very flexible of gluten and allergies, shocked how non-accommodating much of the other restaurants are.

We had a very nice time at Matteo’s- we would go back. My special tasted good but the presentation of pasta ribbons coiled in a tight cylinder made it hard to eat.

Food was excellent and the homemade pasta rivals that I’ve had in Italy. Service was a bit slow, but our waitress was very nice and got everything right. Definitely recommend.

Exceptional dining experience. Excellent service, and memorable and outstanding pasta dishes! We were a party of two; one of us had the Pasta Frutti di Mare (a spicy seafood pasta dish with squid ink pasta), and the other had the special that night, a Lamb Ragout pasta. Both were remarkably good! Caeaar salads to start were also good. Pasta dishes were expensive, but I felt like we got exceptionally good quality! Highly recommend.
