Cafe Pesto

4.5

About this business

Do not let the name fool you, this is no simple cafe. It is one of the most highly rewarded, oft-mentioned restaurants on the island of Hawai'i. Serving a unique fusion of Pacific Basin and Continental cuisines, this place is perfect for a memorable occasion. The decor is simple. The food, on the other hand, is marvelously complex. Signature items include the Wok-Fired Shrimp and Scallops, Chili Grilled Shrimp Pizza and the Island Seafood Risotto. There is another location on the West Side, Kohala Coast.

My husband and I had an excellent lunch at Cafe Pesto while in Hilo. Rodney was our waiter and he was excellent!! I enjoyed the risotto dish and my husband the rigatoni. The cheesecake was incredible as well. Thank you Rodney.

The food and service good, however I'm not sure if they were short staff in the kitchen but our meals took about it 40 minutes to complete. I'll give them a second chance since I love to support local businesses
