    Solid list of Italian wines (order off the list, glass pours are the usual boring types and names). Food was a bit Americanized in portion size, sauciness, and composition, but an Italian would happily eat here. Ingredients were top notch and super fresh. Very accommodating for gluten intolerance. Service was really great.

    We had a fabulous evening with Gerry as our server. The calamari and off-menu margherita pizza apps were hot and delicious. We also got the bread with seaweed butter but did not think that was outstanding. Cacio e pepe on pasta was too peppery for my friend, but I love pepper. The chicken dish was very moist. Worth the splurge for the sunset.

    Everytime we come to Maui one of our meals is definitely at Honu. Love sitting by the water listening to the sound of gentle waves. The food is delicious! Spanish octopus, Ahi Tuna toast are so yummy. Fish is always cooked to perfection. Just wonderful!
