Kona Pasta Company

Very very disappointed!! Can’t believe I paid $32 for a dinky little lasagna. I couldn’t believe how small the portion was. And it did not come with bread or salad. Food took 35 mins to arrive and my lasagna was not hot, just warm. I’m assume it was sitting in the kitchen for awhile. I left there still hungry. We thought we would try a restaurant we haven’t been to before. We won’t be going back. Will not be recommending to our friends either. Ruined our evening. It was a quiet ride home. 3 people $110 no drinks, one Diet Coke.

While visiting Kona, my girlfriend, and I stopped in. We went upstairs due to the place being so packed downstairs. Our server Ali was full of energy, and the Aloha spirit. She explained that the noodles were made in house, and also gave us some great destinations to visit while on island. The food was incredible, the Drinks were on point. We will definitely be visiting again.

A bit of a bummer, found our meal to be expensive for the quality received. Enjoyed the clam appetizer and the lady finger tiramisu but everything else we tried was mediocre. My pesto was pretty dry and the meatball spaghetti didn’t have nearly enough sauce. Portions are heavy, which helps solace the price point, but in general our pastas were not al dente and a bit over cooked in my opinion.

For the price point this place was great and conveniently located right next to us. Nothing bad to say whatsoever. However if you are lucky enough to get the server Nicky, he IS the Michelin star experience. Exceeded our expectations at every turn. This guy will go far! If your reading this Nicky I hope you will be working at one soon because you deserve it! He was courteous, kind, and made you feel at home. I hope this restaurant thrives, cheers!

Unfortunately, the experience left much to be desired. Upon arriving, my party and I were excited to try the diverse menu, but our hopes were quickly dashed. The restaurant was out of several items we had intended to order, which was disappointing and limited our options. It was shockingly loud in the dining room and unbelievably cold. To add to the disappointment, the service was exceptionally slow, and it took well over an hour from the time we ordered to receive our food. This was quite frustrating, especially considering the restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time. When our meals did finally arrive, we were further let down by the quality of the food. Not only was it subpar, but the prices did not align with the overall dining experience. The flavors were lackluster, and the presentation left much to be desired. Overall, the combination of unavailable menu items, extensive wait times, and underwhelming food quality left a negative impression. I hope that the restaurant can address these issues to provide a more enjoyable experience for future patrons.
