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.

I had several dishes there. They were all good One specific item of note was a Kalua pork and pineapple pizza I had for lunch one day. It would settle the argument for anyone on whether pineapple belongs on a pizza.

My husband and I were on vacation and were doing some shopping in Hilo. We stopped in to Cafe Pesto for lunch. We ordered the cheeseburger (our waiter offered to have them served on pita bread, since neither of us could have the sesame seed buns they usually use). The burgers were delicious, the pita bread was freshly made and warm, and the garlic potato wedge fries were wonderful. It’s not a fancy place, but the service was good and the food was reasonably priced.

Good food. But way too expensive. The taste of the food and the service does not equal to the price. 2 adults, 2 kids, main course, and dessert, almost 100$
