    The Shrimp Scampi and rice are really good, what they are known for!…read more The Pros- Good food and decent pricing. The Cons- 2 dollars for parking (ain't bad but just a heads up", seating can be difficult to find. I always stop on my trip around the North shore. It's in a great little town.

    We were planning to drive all the way up to the North Shore location, but with the lane closures…read moreand extra travel time, we decided to stop at this Giovanni's Shrimp Truck instead. I'm glad we did! The food was every bit as good as the famous North Shore location--hot, fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The shrimp was outstanding, and the mac salad was cold, creamy, and exactly what you want alongside a great plate lunch. Everything came out quickly and tasted fantastic. What really stood out was the friendlier service and smaller crowds. It made for a much more relaxed experience, and we didn't feel rushed at all. Another bonus is the surrounding area. There are several other local food trucks nearby offering everything from fresh fruit and smoothies to delicious desserts. After lunch, take a short stroll through town and be sure to stop by Matsumoto's for some legendary shave ice. Trust me--you'll have room for it! If you're looking for the Giovanni's experience without the long drive and heavy crowds, this location is a winner. Great food, great service, and plenty of local businesses to support. You can't go wrong with Giovanni's. Come hungry, support local, and enjoy the aloha spirit that makes the North Shore so special!

    My FAVORITE place to get Hawaiian food on the Big Island of Hawai'i, is a little food truck called…read more"Ono Hawaiian Food". They are located in the parking lot across the downtown shopping district of Hilo (in the park down from the KTA store and almost across Sig Zane). Look for the blue tarp with the 8 seats around a plastic folding table. The blue tarp is the give away when looking for it. It's run by Hawaiians, so you know the food is ONO (delicious). LUAU SQUID - My absolute favorite is the luau squid! It's made with fresh taro leafs stewed for along time with coconut milk and cut octopus. BOMBSHADIGGIDY ONOLICOUS!!! It taste just like the old days where grandma used to use the freshest ingredients to make the family favorites during dinner. A great portion (2 cups) served hot and steaming. You can get this with either poi or rice (get the poi!!!). $7.50 for the combination. Grade: A+ PORK LAULAU - super authentic laulau (taro leafs) steamed with fatty pork, salted fish. Wrapped in taro leafs and steamed for hours. Everything melts together because of the steaming. (Side order $4.00). Eat this with the poi and you have an authentic meal and tons of memories to talk about! Super ONO!. Grade: A! KULOLO - a dessert made of freshly grated taro root, coconut milk, and shreaded coconut. The consistency comes out like a sticky pudding / mochi. Not many places can make this old-time dish anymore. Found it here at the Ono Hawaiian Food Truck and glad I ordered it. You get a 4 x 6 slice of the dessert for $4.50. Well below market value (I've purchased this for double the price at other places). Grade: B+

    Maika'i loa!!! Hands down the best Squid Lu'au I've had. Lau lau, kalua pig, chicken long rice, the…read moreusual Hawaiian food is good too. But the Lu'au is broke da mout' 'ono. Better than Young's Fish Market, Helena's, or anyplace else.
