- LLuciaHawaii •15 reviews5.0Dined on May 9, 2025We were delighted with the amazing food and outstanding service we received at Naisla. The menu have so many great options that it was hard to choose. We finally decided on the Fettuccine with Meatballs and the Short Ribs which we shared. Both were delicious. Our waitress, Steph, made sure everything was to our liking. She engaged us in conversation while we waited for our entree. We will definitely be back!More infoNaisla Kitchen & CocktailsPrice: Expensive• Italian• Kapaa•4.7
Discover Hanalei
Food may not be your number one interest when you arrive in Hanalei on the island of Kauai. After you've spent a day on the beach, however, and walked through the Limahuli Garden and Preserve , you'll likely need to pause for a meal. You may grab a quick bite at a local bar and grill or take a chance on a well-known farm to table restaurant. If you pick a place that is right on the Hanalei River, then you'll find an assortment of seafood on the menu including Hanalei dolphin, ahi, and swordfish. These dishes, as well as Baja fish tacos and softshell crab rolls, are popular choices. The fruits and vegetables at many area restaurants are grown locally on organic farms . For patrons who are looking for something besides Polynesian specialties, the town has some steakhouses and barbeque sites.
