Although the restaurant has a good vibe and the staff is friendly, I do not recommend this place for 3 reasons. First, we got their 12” pizzas unaware that they only come in gluten-free. It was the worst pizza crust I’ve ever had in my 50+ years, although the menu does mention it, It is not very clear and we missed it and our waitress did not confirm if we were OK with gluten-free pizza dough. I’m sure their 14” with regular pizza dough is better, but I cannot be the judge of that since we did not have it. Second, they brought our appetizer and salad after the pizzas. Third, their menu states they charge an automatic 20% gratuity for tables of 6 or more. Our table of 6 was actually charged 22% gratuity instead of 20%, so beware. There are many great food options in Maui, but I would stay clear of this restaurant for the reasons mentioned above.
First time visit with no reservations. Waited less than 10 minutes. The server was polite and knowledgeable and the food was super yummy. There were few gluten free options which was nice.
Hands down some of the best Italian food I have ever had - and we found it in Maui! The service was incredible, including the knowledge of our server on what my husband could eat that was gluten free. It is hard to find gluten free bread and Italian food that is good, but all of the food we ate at Matteo's was great.
Their filet is awesome. I get it medium rare, the plate it comes on is 500 degrees, so I butterfly filet my steak and flip the inside into the plate and slowly eat my still cooking steak with a bit of added salt from the outside edges to the center. Best steaks around. My wife is gluten free and likes the steak with chopped salad and sweet potato casserole.
Nothing is cheap in Maui. We had a couple of burgers and spent $50. They were good and they had gluten-free bread and were mindful about cross-contamination.

My husband and I both got the tacos and they were delicious! I also ordered a mocktail which was delightful, but almost the same price as an alcoholic drink. Restaurant accommodated my gluten allergy very well and the atmosphere was beautiful!
Looking for a quiet easy breakfast with excellent coffee we popped in. Was chilled bliss, gluten free folks you will be so happy! All sandwiches can be made with GF bread or wrap!
Staff were so lovely and accommodated all my concerns

The view from the food course on the hill is excellent. The food was great. The service was too notch. You can go formal or casual or somewhere in between. They have gluten free options and the cremebrulee was excellent and safe.
The service was miserable. The waiter disappeared early on and that was the trend of the night. We had to get up to find someone to help us multiple times. It was so bad. Also, one of our party members had a gluten allergy which was part of our reservation, and the server was like “I’ll take the drink order and come back and explain what you can order that’s gluten free.” Then proceeded to disappear for a long time and completely forgot they said that.
We waited an hour and 45 mins for our food and no one checked in on us and it was just awful. Several of our appetizers were lukewarm which makes me think the kitchen did everything right, and it just sat back there and that the server didn’t time things right at all. The food tasted good but just the worst service. Wouldn’t go back and can’t recommend. For how expensive that was, it was highly disappointing.
