Hilo's dining staple and then some. If you ask anyone living in Hilo where they might want to go and celebrate a special evening out, they will more than likely mention Cafe Pesto. Chicago Tribune, Fodors, and Zagats, have all ranted highly about this special place. Serving the island of Hawaii since 1988, Cafe Pesto is one of the finest staple restaurants in all of the Hawaiian Islands. It's quintessential Hilo location in downtown is super beautiful. There also used to be one in Kawaihae as well. Today Cafe Pesto continues to track along with it's fine quality high end service and luxury dining experience. The one fantastic aspect is that all of the ingredients are always served fresh from farm to table. A top 3 restaurant on the Hilo side of the island. Many of us who have been going there for years can date our visits back to when we were still in college looking to celebrate a special birthday or other amazing and notable event.

Food and Wine, Honolulu Magazine, and many others have also put their amazing stories and touch into celebrating how fantastic Cafe Pesto really is. A longtime community place that has made a name for itself when it comes to being the best of the best. We highly recommend it to all of our clients and friends and that is why we wanted to write about it and share it on our website. With the hopes of sending more great business their way. Ordering online has now also been made easy here as it making a reservation. Directly next door to Cafe Pesto there is a beautiful art gallery that is a must see. The two go hand in hand together and compliment each other nicely. Sig Zane is also just steps away if you are up for a fun shopping experience while in the area. Cafe Pesto also offers wonderful gift certificates to ensure a classy gift for that special someone on your list. 

Cafe Pesto is known for their world class pizzas and specialty seafood dishes. All choices are mouth watering and eye appealing. The photography on their website is at a level like no other. Super incredible dining artistry. To be at this level the owners obviously not only know what they are doing but also know how to take care of their community and please everyone in a great way. There are very few places that compare to Cafe Pesto, and we really mean that. We absolutely love the place. the eggs benedict at brunch is surreal as is their famous creme brûlée. A top 3 restaurant on the Hilo side of the island. Many of us who have been going there for years can date our visits back to when we were still in college looking to celebrate a special birthday or other amazing and notable event.
