Cafe Pesto

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.

Try the Sandalwood sandwich. Actually, everything on the menu is wonderful. Here and in Kawaihae! We had not been to the Big Island in 10 years and recently went back. Soooo glad to find that both locations had maintained their excellence!

We always enjoy the food at Cafe Pesto and ate there tonight. Small things to improve on? Don't get so busy that you forget your patron's appetizers and don't bring out only one cocktail when there were two ordered at a table for two. It is less impressive when you don't write down orders when they aren't completely fulfilled as ordered.
