Description: Where Northern Italy meets Southern France At the Top of Wailea. Tucked away on a steep hill is South Maui's best kept secret. A stone entryway leads you past the piano lounge and martini bar into two unique dining room settings. First the open lanai revealing 180 degree views of the surrounding ocean. Down below are tables set amongst pristine Japanese Gardens. Owner and Award Winning Chef Brian Etheredge passionately embraces traditional Italian ingredients and recipes with concern for detail. Our wine list consists of globally sourced wines of exceptional quality and is highlighted by our much sought after Italian selections. Start your evening with a fine cocktail while listening to the smooth sounds of our live jazz and blues in our lounge Friday, Saturday and Sundays. We love what we do, and you will see our intense appreciation for fine food, wine and service throughout your exquisite dining experience.

We have eaten here in the past. Excellent preparation and presentation but service was off on our special night. My steak was undercooked and by the time they returned it to me my husband was finished with his entree. Took about 20 minutes to correct the steak. Only 4 tables in whole place that night so it was a kitchen... More

I make it a habit of booking diner reservations far in advance when I book a vacation, or honeymoon in this case. Our driver that drove us from the airport to the hotel recommended Capische and told me to cancel a reservation to go to this place (I wish I cancelled Nick's Fishmarket). I am so glad I took his...

My wife and I are big critics when it comes to dining, especially Italian food. We operate restaurants, spent time in Italy, and love to cook Italian. We were recommended by many people at the Four Seasons to dine at Capische for our 5-Year Anniversary. We were hesitant because the experience at Ferraro’s had been so amazing. However, we came...

We stayed at the Hotel Wailea and wanted to experience Capishe. We decided to have appetizers at the bar one night after having a big lunch earlier that day. We had a great time learning about Maui from the bartender and thoroughly enjoyed all the appetizers he recommended. Our bill still added up but it turned out to be a... More

It's location is not on the beach, but it has a commanding view that allows almost the entire restaurant to have a great sunset view. Combined with exemplary service and well prepared food it was a memorable evening.

The food was good though not spectacular. Beautiful setting. We ordered a bottle of wine at $49 which we thought good value until we saw the size...half bottle didn't look at that never having bought half bottle before! Nice treat but then most of of Maui restaurants have beautiful settings so not hard to find this and would not go... More

Capishe sits in a spectacular location at the Hotel Wailea. Everything about the place is beautiful, including the views from the bar and the lanai. While we did not sit in the garden area, it also looked beautiful from the lanai above, with private, romantic seating options. Now, the food, service and overall experience: We booked this restaurant with full... More
