I was treated to lunch at Pescatore on Thursday. The shrimp scampi alfredo was very tasty. We got chicken parm as well and split the meals between us. It was served with a side of pasta in pesto.
The oil paintings were charming too - copies of Van Gogh's Sunflowers and Monet's Water Lilies among others. Nice to have a meal with a linen table cloth and a little atmosphere once in a while! Be sure to look up at the ceiling in the main dining room for a step back in time. The paper napkins were a little disappointing. (Carrie gets a little snooty...)
I'm told the prices double for dinner, fyi.
We also like Hilo Bay Cafe from burgers to more gourmet fare...and Kaleo's in Pahoa has your choice of fish cooked how you prefer (I like blackened Ono) on a bed of field greens. It comes with their signature citrus dressing - OH BOY. Try the ganache - very decadent and not for the faint of heart! LOL
Cafe Pesto has always been a favorite - but don't go when you're too hungry 'cause the service is really slooowwwww. They do have a good variety of items, however.
