Pā`ina Pantry

Pā`ina Pantry is a Big Island based small business offering a variety of custom culinary services. Our commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients is paired with decades of experience and a passion for bringing people together through food.

Chef Dan Robayo

Chef Dan has decades of culinary experience - from family owned to Michelin star restaurants to running some of the Big Island’s most exclusive private clubs.

His love for cooking is influenced by his family's travels - including Japan, France, Italy, Portugal, Central and South America, and more. With his wife's family's Hawai'i roots going back generations, he has spent years embracing the bounty the islands have to offer and brings together local vibrancy with creativity and inspiration.

His steadfast belief in supporting local farmers, ranchers, and fishermen has culminated with his creation of Pā'ina Pantry, offering an array of private services to the Kailua Kona community and beyond!
