Kula Bistro: Casual Italian on the Side of the Volcano

Family-style Italian with bi-coastal views, fresh pasta, and a no-corkage BYO policy that turns dinner into a real evening.

Kula Bistro sits on the slopes of Haleakalā with views down to both shores of Central Maui. The menu is honest Italian-American with strong fresh-pasta game, and the no-corkage BYO policy means you can grab a bottle from the Kula market across the street and not double-pay for the privilege of wine with dinner.
