The crew at Bobby V’s restaurant at Coconut Marketplace throw a shaka for their customers: left to right, Dana Harell, owner Kristen Valenti, Madison McIntosh-Ryder and Elijah Kalani-Bejo. For the last 18 years, the family-owned Bobby V’s has been serving some of the best authentic Italian food to locals and visitors on Kaua‘i. All the recipes are made from scratch, including sauces and dressings — their famous marinara sauce is known as liquid gold. Owners Bobby and Kristen Valenti met on Kaua‘i, but both come from Boston, where you can find Italian restaurants and pizza shops on pretty much every corner. Stop by their restaurant at Coconut Marketplace on Kaua‘i’s Eastside. Visit www.bobbyvpizzeria.com or call 821-8080.
