This upscale Italian restaurant's setting right on spectacular Keawakapu Beach, with views of Molokini and Kahoolawe, is irresistible. Chef Geno Sarmiento heads the kitchen which turns out such gems as wild tiger shrimp served over house-made ravioli of ricotta cheese, Yukon Gold potato puree, and white truffle oil; seafood fra diavolo(in a tomato sauce spiced with chilies); and swordfish saltimbocca, a strangely successful entrée with a prosciutto, Bel Paese cheese, radicchio, and porcini sauce. Meat lovers should try the fall-off-the-bone tender osso buco with spicy gremolata. The wine list includes some great finds. The owner's wife is a personal trainer, so there's also a "Trainer's Menu" of healthful picks.
