Our story

Chef James and Christine Babian, owners of Pueos Osteria

Chef James & Christine Babian

Proprietors

Our story began in 2013, when award-winning Chef James and Realtor Christine Babian opened Pueo’s Osteria, a family-owned Italian restaurant in Waikoloa Village on Hawai‘i Island. Their vision was to create a welcoming gathering place for locals and visitors to enjoy authentic Italian cuisine, housemade pasta, locally sourced ingredients, boutique wines, and handcrafted cocktails in a fun, upbeat atmosphere.
