Sale Pepe Pizzeria E Cucina - Lahaina

Came here on the recommendation of a local chef and had our hopes up based on the reviews and write up. We ordered the chickpea and guanciale on toast, squid ink pasta, and pizza with Maui cattle meatballs. Lovely decor and the menu offers a nice bit of storytelling and local recommendations. It’s a nice alternative to the kitschy restaurants on the main drag.

So sad to see it gone. It was our new favorite. Hope to see them

Kid-friendliness: Very accommodating to the needs of a 2yr old

Wagyu, gnocci and florida snapper were amazing. Our wedding guests were blown away.

Visited Sal Pepe on a recommendation and very glad we did. First off reservations are a must. You will not get in without a reservation most nights unless you’re Lebron James. The owners have a wonderful story. Michele is a native of Milan Italy and the food served here is authentic. Spouse Quiana is a battle borne Brooklynite who brings a sense of style to this little corner of New York in Lahaina. If you only like spaghetti and meatballs you’re in the wrong place. I had the carbonara. The flavor of egg and pancetta literally exploded in my mouth. We also enjoyed a selection of meats and cheeses that was outstanding including pecorino, pancetta and mortadella. My dining partner had the strozzapreti with a rich beef cheek ragu that was to die for. Too full for dessert we left with a promise to return.
