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.

We went as two couples - 2 pizzas, a seafood fish and a chicken dish. All fresh, flavoursome and with Hawaiian influences . 🌺 good wine, lager and coffee also enjoyed. Service friendly, informed and suitably attentive.

I can't say enough good things about Cafe Pesto, but best of all, I met the love of my life while I worked as a waiter years ago. I thought it was the food and atmosphere that brought him back so often until I finally realized IT WAS ME. Each time we return to Hilo, Cafe Pesto is a must. It definitely is a safe and definitely the best choice for dining. Thank you for maintaining the quality that makes you shine. Ciao, JT
