Our Story
Founded in 2008 by pasta enthusiasts John and Lisa, the Kona Pasta Company was born out of a dream to introduce authentic and delicious pasta to the Hawaiian islands. Drawing inspiration from their Italian heritage and the abundance of fresh local ingredients, they embarked on a culinary adventure that would soon capture the hearts of locals and visitors alike.
