A Taste of Italy - View this location on map

'Hope that the part-owner, Steven Burgelin, originally from Milan, is in the house to escort you to your table at Casanovas (808-572-0220) on the road back from the park - a rustic restaurant that's a perfect close to an upcountry adventure. The original building dates from before World War II, and stories are told of Hawaiian cowboys riding their horses into the bar for a shot of redeye. Check out the artificial-looking but real garden outside the back window as you enjoy an organic salad ($6 to $9), pasta dish ($10 to $19) and meat or fish entrée ($22 to $28). Or try one of the wood-fired Neapolitan-style pizzas ($12 to $20).
