    Typically great—but not today. Service was off, meal not delivered as requested. Bad all around. Good news is manager tried to make it right, but it was too late. Such a beautiful place…hopefully this was just a one off!

    We love fresco the food is outstanding however, we normally sit in the back. Last night., We were seated out front next to a very large table of very, very loud people. It was difficult to enjoy the evening or have a conversation. Maybe small seatings of people should be separated from large parties in a better way Love the food though can’t say enough about the pasta, truly authentic and delicious and I even ate gluten-free.

    The quality and flavor of the food was excellent. However, the standout was our server, Anthony. He was attentive and kind. I have dairy intolerance and he actually modified part of my order that I did not even realize that it had dairy in it. He is exceptional.

    Dined here New Year's Eve. Had reservations and was seated promptly. Waiter was perfect in every way, and she was polite, helpful and cheerful. Food was outstanding. I had Rigatoni with tomato vodka sauce and added grilled shrimp. It was fresh, delicious and a large serving. Shrimp was perfectly grilled and so fresh. My boyfriend had the scallops with Risotto. He said they were excellent. We also had the caprese salad to begin with and Tiramasu for dessert. Both were excellent. This restaurant exceeded my expectations for such a busy New Year's evening. We will definitely be back as we live in walking distance.

    When we walked in, there was a sign they were going through a new management. We arrived on Saturday night at 730pm and it was dead. That should’ve given me pause! The service was ok (ish). I ordered the lasagna, one of their specialties. It was lukewarm and the bottom noodle was a weird grayish brown and was tough to cut through. Their only saving grace were the crispy artichokes. Delish!
