- BBobbyPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •1 review5.0Dined 5 days agoHand made pasta, made fresh daily said the radio add 😂lol, you got me! Vegetarian with seafood eating friends, we enjoyed all the bread that was given with some delicious olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. One friend had the caprese salad, which was beautiful, other friend had the special of the day with the shrimp and scallop pasta (every bite finished). I had the mushroom pasta, which was absolutely phenomenal, but what stole the show was the margarita pizza, the crust that had the best buttery garlic flavor! To die for (chefs kiss)!More infoCasanova Italian RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Makawao•4.7

Discover Makawao
When thinking of Maui, Hawaii, you can just hear the palm trees rustle in the breeze, the waves breaking on the shore, and ukuleles playing in the background. Nestled in the foothills of the Haleakala volcano is Makawao. Though small in size, the town carries a high-quality level of dining one would expect from the bigger neighborhoods of Lahaina and Wailea. Ahi tuna, mahi mahi, and shrimp are among popular menu items here. You can also find sushi, steak, and Italian meals for those who want more familiar options. Top restaurants here typically serve up outstanding Hawaiian, American, and seafood dishes. There are also more casual restaurants that offer a variety of foods from bar-style cuisine to Mexican restaurants with authentic dishes.
