La Spezia

Last year a nice new Italian restaurant opened in Koloa that has become a reliable favorite. La Spezia is across from the Koloa post office one block down from the Koloa shops near Sueoka market, right next to the Big Save. The atmosphere is a little more island-style casual - it isn't unusual to see T-shirts and shorts - but the food is very high quality, nothing casual about the preparation. Recently it has been crowded but last night we were lucky to get a table without waiting.

The hours are a little unusual: they serve breakfast and dinner but are closed lunchtime, with the exception of brunch on Sunday, and closed Mondays. They have a full bar and a wide selection of wine. In addition to the regular menu they usually have some daily dinner specials worth asking about. Portions are reasonable size but not enormous. We have yet to try the desserts.

Parking lot is next to the restaurant adjacent to Big Save parking lot directly across from the post office (warning: the dirt parking lot can be rather muddy).
