WORST SERVICE!!!! Took 45min to receive salad soup. Staff not showing like they cared to be at work. Most of the main courses we ordered had very little on the plate and arrived at about an hour and a half. The pasta at Fresco for sure NOT the best in town. I would recommend friends and family to go else where for pasta.
One of the places I frequent most often for special evenings. I have celebrated many birthdays and special events at Fresco's. LOVE, the Sambuca Shrimp, the sauce is so good you better save some of the bread they bring to the table to mop it up! One of the places in town that does Gnocchi really well!!
For starters, I would like to say this Resturant under its newer ownership has taken this Little italian diner and turned it into a stylish hip landmark Italian Bistro. THe newer look, funky layout and stylish decor make set the backdrop for an amazing cuisine experience. Although, its sounds fussy or fancy, its just the opposite. Perfect for a birthday party, a corporate dinner or your first romantic meal, this resturants food will surely impress. The first reviewer must have been prior to the new management and I would urge you to try it again. Hats off to a job well done in turning this place into a timeless, charming dinner hot spot. Bravo Bistro Italiano!
Loved the food, the service was great. Amazing decor and atmosphere in the restaurant. I will definatly return and tell my friends. Bon Apetito!
Amazing... My favorite restaurant!!! I often go there for dinner and the service is amazing, the food always good and a good choice of wine! Nicely located, two levels and lots of people!
This restaurant has the best pasta in town. The service is always exceptional as is the food. Definitely recommend it to everyone!
The pasta special was excellent. My friends also very much enjoyed their dishes (salmon, soup, and salads). The service was just as wonderful. Would recommend it to anyone.
