Café Pesto
Café Pesto Review
One of the better restaurants in Hilo, Café Pesto offers exotic pizzas (with fresh Hamakua mushrooms, artichokes, and rosemary Gorgonzola sauce, for example), Asian-inspired pastas and risottos, fresh seafood, delicious salads, and appetizers that you could make a meal of. Products from local farmers feature heavily on the menu here—everything from the Kulana free-range beef to the Kawamata Farms tomatoes to the Kapoho Farms lehua-blossom honey is made on the island. Live local musicians provide entertainment at dinner Thursday through Sunday. For visitors on the island's west side, there's another Café Pesto location above Kawaihae Harbor.
