This is a great little food truck. Some older reviews and photos show the original restaurant, which burned down in the August 2023 Lāhainā fire. They have a food truck up and running that has tons of delicious and dietary-inclusive options. I highly recommend!
I have always loved loved loved this place!!
Definitely felt the loss from the fire. I am so grateful and so very excited to come by your new location.
I wish you all the best. I am excited to try other things other than the Niciose salad and the broccoli and garlic bread.
All favorites!!
Blessings to your success!!

Went today at the opening and there was already people there ready to order. I really liked that its now a food truck, adds to the experience. I got the Fettuccine Alfredo and added lobster meat, I was not disappointed, the combo was really good for a great price! I recommend trying!!
Only thing is that the website has different hours than the google page so it was confusing, rely on the google one. Also the gps is going to drive you to the street across from it; just reach the farmer's market parking it'll be right there (even if it says the market is closed). Overall very satisfied!!
Really great Italian food! They had vegetarian options too such as pesto pasta. Looks like it was a brick and mortar store before and now it’s a food truck. Google maps will tell you to turn left on the highway but you’d have a turn onto a proper road before.
Penne Pasta is back! It’s now a food truck in the Napili farmers market. Open Friday(2-7 pm), Saturday(10a -4p) and Monday (2-7pm). Same owners and same fantastic pasta. Eat there or takeout. We’re so happy to have you back. :o)
I’ve been a regular local who loves loves loves the Baked Penne!! Juan and his family are the best! So grateful for your food truck now. 😁 when are you open next?
The best Italian on Maui. Sad to see it go, please reopen somewhere on Maui again
Vegetarian options: The best salad ever!!

We adopted this restaurant and typically ate there 2x per week when visiting Maui. The pesto pasta was wonderful and was the sleep and craft salad. We sure hope they will reopen somewhere after the fire that destroyed Lahaina.
The atmosphere is relaxing but a bit dark. The food is delicious and staff are really great!!!
Kid-friendliness: There’s a lot of space for strollers and it’s an easy going place so the kiddos can be kids.

Wonderful little Italian hideaway off the main strip on Front St. We will be back.
Delicious pasta!
Spontaneous hunger is perfectly satisfied with linguine pesto. Unfortunately, the second attempt - pizza with goat cheese and mushrooms - was a total loss - it consisted of extremely thin ready-made dough and very economical toppings for a whopping $18. I didn't get tired of it either
Edit: The original review below in the brackets was for the pasta, gave it 4 stars. However we came back 2 days later to try their so called "pizza". For 13+ dollars you get something that will make every single italian spin in his grave. The base so thin, it basically doesn't exist, leaving you just as hungry as you were before eating "it". At every proper pizza place i know, you walk home happy with your stomach full for the same price. The fact that it was done in like 5 minutes also suggests its microwaved, not baked. You can make yourself the same meal at home for less than 50 cents by throwing a slice of toast with a piece of tasteless cheese in the microwave for a minute and smearing some pesto on top.
[Nice italian style pasta, maybe a few dollars too expensive for pasta but the town seems to be like that overall so can't blame them.]
Cute little place! Small, homey, and comfortable atmosphere. Felt like I was receiving a home cooked meal from a family member or friend. Food was delicious and quite filling!
