"Amazing flavors and a great location. I loved their Korean bread, which was definitely the highlight. Both of the main dishes were also decent. The atmosphere was great and the location in the Hilo downtown area was very convenient."

"We only spent a few days in Hilo, but we actually went twice to the Cafe Pesto! It was so delicious the first time, we had to come back. Each time some of us took an evening special Risotto and a Pizza - the dishes were outstanding. Personally, the Chicken Mango Chutney, the Seafood Pizza Rolls and the Chicken Risotto were the best I have ever had. The service team was great and super attentive. Would definitely recommend and all around a great experience!"

"So happy we found this place. Some of the best food on our trip! The Big Island Burger was great and loved their garlic fries. Hubby said his Southwestern Chicken pizza may be one of the best he has ever had. The Korean cream cheese garlic bread is to die for! Great service and atmosphere."

"We keep coming back... Usually all the way from Kona (2 hours). A wonderful experience - like other reviews, delicious food, unique comfortable atmosphere, great service. In old town Hilo with fun stores near by. We have been coming to Cafe Pesto for 25 years..."

"Been here before many years ago. Very good food and American cuisine with excellent pizza and salads. Food service too. In a historical type building. Lots of charm."
