Taverna blends rustic-chic vibes with a lively bar scene, serving up Italian classics and inventive cocktails in a beautiful golf course setting.
"Taverna is modern, trendy, and attractive, with lots of raw wood and industrial-chic decor. The central bar has a buzzy, boisterous, sports-bar vibe to it—a lot of people seem to come just for happy hour—but the rest of the restaurant remains relaxed and low-key. The menu offers Italian crowd-pleasers like lasagna, carbonara, and ossobuco, all beautifully done. Standouts include fritto misto (fried seafood), polpette (beef and bacon meatballs), and, for dessert, tiramisu and panna cotta." - Juliana Shallcross, Kris Fordham
"Italian classics and reimagined cocktails in a cool urban space The vibe Part sports-bar, part tavern The crowd Eclectic The drinks Strong cocktails, Italian wines, Hawaiian beers The food Italian crowd-pleasers" - Kris Fordham
"Once you’ve eaten enough raw fish that you’re starting to wonder how you would look with gills, it’s time to take a break from seafood. That’s when you should head to Taverna. Our go-to at this Italian restaurant at the Kapalua Resort is the Taverna lasagna with a side of beef and bacon meatballs, though it’s pretty hard to go wrong on their menu. Just make sure you pair something with one of their specialty cocktails like the smoky Burning Man-Hattan or one of the three variations on the negroni. They also have two daily Happy Hours (2:30-5:30pm and 9pm-midnight) and a Wine Wednesdays special with half off all bottles." - Leah Ponichtera
