The nexus of upcountry dining and nightlife, Casanova is Makawao's citadel of hip. It's casual, too, with terrific food and music and a tiny veranda with a few stools, always full, in front of a deli at Makawao's busiest intersection. The restaurant contains a stage, dance floor, restaurant, and bar -- and food to love and remember. This is pasta heaven; try the spaghetti fradiavolo or the spinach gnocchi in a fresh tomato-Gorgonzola sauce. Other choices include a huge pizza selection, grilled lamb chops in an Italian mushroom marinade, every possible type of pasta, and luscious desserts. Our personal picks on a stellar menu: fresh Kula spinach sautéed with butter, pine nuts, and Parmesan; polenta with radicchio (the mushrooms and cream sauce are fabulous!); and tiramisu, the best on the island.
