Casanova Italian Restaurant

1188 Makawao Ave, Makawao, HI 96768 808-572-0220

Description: MAKAWAO. More than a restaurant, Casanova is that neighborhood institution that fills several roles at once.

At dinner, everyone gathers for pasta, dressed with herb-tinged sauces and pungent cheese. You'll also find lamb, veal, steak, pizza, and ocean-fresh seafood. The selection of appetizers features seafood as well, and the tiramisu is out-of-this-world. Take your time and enjoy the meal, but don't forget to stick around for the festivities afterwards. Even if you don't hit the dance floor, you can check out the bands and sip on something exotic throughout the night.
