I ate the 4 cheese ravioli. The cream sauce was the consistency of milk, kinda tasted like milk as it had no flavor. I couldn’t even describe the food as lukewarm; it was more like the temperature of food left out all day. I’m not sure where the cheese was besides the grated parmesan cheese that tasted like flour that was messily scattered on my plate. Or maybe it was flour that I tasted as the ravioli didn’t seem to be cooked. The ravioli had no flavor at all and I wouldn’t describe it as ravioli. It mostly consisted of a big piece of undercooked pasta with some spinach in it. As for the bread, it was hard and cold. I couldn’t even use it to soak up any of the “milk” on my plate. The service wasn’t that great. I was never offered a refill on my drink though I drank it all before I even ordered my food. This isn’t someplace I would recommend to anyone or even think about giving it a second chance. I went to eat there because of the positive reviews I read on other blogs, wish I found this one first.

Hands down, it is the best in Hilo. Every dish I've tried has a light but complex flavor with many layers to enjoy. Creamy sauce brings a delicate balance of savory and sweet that will leave you pondering it's seasoning. (I feel the nay-sayers are simply brainwashed by americanized "Italian" food) You will leave feeling satisfied but not overfull. Prices are reasonable, service is great, atmosphere is warm & personable. Truly a gem for our small town. Most superb Italian food. Hands down, it is the best in Hilo.

I ordered the Four Cheese Ravioli, which turned out to be unraveled wonton-like overworked dough in with luke warm cream dribbled on top--no cheese that I could taste. The portion was also small. Surely, the "chef" can go online and look up a recipe for a sauce rather than just use unflavored cream. We ate there because of the good reviews. It was very disappointing.

Everything I've eaten here (and yes, I've been here a lot of times) has been amazing. I love everything about the place, the food, the atmosphere, the service. Total awesomeness.

I have relatives in Italy and ate at many places throughout Italy including Sicily, Florence, Rome, and Naples....home of the best Italian cuisine. Lando is a very distinguished chef and I feel sorry for all the idiots who posted on here who obviously don't know Italian Food. First off, his bread is not garlic bread, it's a homemade salted bread that is not supposed to be garlic bread and is just there for taste....So Rich and Marco, you guys are probably fat ass obese people that probably should be eating super loco mocos at Kens instead of fine dining cuisine. You guys are idiots and stick to your Ragu sauce b/c u guys are obviously not chefs. Anyone that truly loves and appreciates good food will love Cafe Concerto and for the price of fresh, homemade food, you really can't go wrong.
