CAFE PESTO - HILO

CAFE PESTO

Hilo, Hawaii

I have been going to Cafe Pesto in Hilo for over ten years.  Seems every time we go to Hilo we end up having a lunch or dinner here.  The food is always fresh and good.  Cafe Pesto serves salads, sandwiches, fresh fish, pasta, calzones, pizza and even some nice beef dishes.  During this visit my guests enjoyed the Fresh Catch sandwich and salad.  Nice pieces of grilled Ono, onion remoulade, lettuce and vine ripened tomatoes served on a french roll.  The Fresh Catch salad is the same but served on a bed of organic baby greens.  We also tried the Pepperoni Classico pizza that features pepperoni, italian sausage and dry salami.  It was excellent.  The small pizza is $8.95 and there are about six slices.  I had the Blue Caesar Salad.  Crisp hearts of Kiwano Farms romaine, gorgonzola and anchovy buttered croutons.  Nice and filling for only $6.95.  There was so much Blue Cheese on top.  I moved it aside and ate only a few bites of the cheese.  Everyone enjoyed the food.  Service was good too.  I highly recommend Cafe Pesto for lunch or dinner.  For breakfast in Hilo there is only one place to go and that is Kens.
