Pueo's Osteria (Waikoloa)
Waikoloa, Kohala Coast
A Waikoloa Village Italian Dinner Spot Opened in 2013
Pueo's Osteria is an Italian restaurant in Waikoloa Plaza, at 68-1820 Waikoloa Road, Suite 1201, in Waikoloa Village (South Kohala). It opened in 2013 under Chef James and Christine Babian, and its site shows first-place "Best of Hawaii West" badges (including 2025 for best Italian) and a 2024 USA Today 10Best badge ranking it No. 3 best restaurant in Hawaiʻi. Its menu runs from bread service and antipasti through salads, pizza and pastas to main courses.
Its pages give dinner seating from 4:30 PM but disagree on the end (9 PM on the home page, 9:30 PM on the location page), with the bar open later, so confirm by phone at (808) 339-7566. Reservations are through OpenTable, and the menu is posted as images, so no prices could be read here.
