When we opened Auntie Pasto's some twenty years ago, we wanted to offer good homemade food for a fraction of what the others were and we managed to create a friendly neighborhood environment, just like back home.

I was raised in the Italian neighborhood of Pittsfield, Mass. in the 50's and 60's. We ate most of our meals at home. On special occasions we would eat at one of the Italian restaurants in the neighborhood.

Hours:

Piles of al dente pasta, good homemade breads, big ole' meatballs, sausage & peppers. Now, that was eating! Of course, you knew just about everyone in the place so there was always alot of chatter and laughter and energy going on. Nothing fancy, mind you, just good food and friends.

Auntie Pasto's went on to become one of Honolulu's most successful, most award winning, 'local haunts' for affordable food. Twenty years later, we're still the best value in town and I think still the friendliest.  --Ed Wary, Owner
