Casanova Italian Restaurant & Deli

Look for the tiny veranda with a few stools, always full, in front of a deli at Makawao's busiest intersection -- that's the most visible part of the Casanova restaurant and lounge. Makawao's nightlife center contains a stage, dance floor, restaurant, and bar -- and food to love and remember. This is pasta heaven; try the spaghetti fra diavolo or the spinach gnocchi in a Gorgonzola sauce. Other options include a huge pizza selection, grilled lamb chops in an Italian mushroom marinade, lots more pasta dishes, and luscious desserts. My personal picks on a stellar menu: garlic spinach topped with Parmesan and pine nuts and tiramisu, the best on the island. Check the website for a schedule of top entertainment, such as Willie K and his band.
