Near our hotel was Fresco, a fun tapas bar. At night it is HOPPING!! Crowded with locals enjoying their wine, beer and tapas. We came here both nights. The bartender and a couple of wait staff welcomed us the second visit. We ended up talking to several locals while sitting outside. So much fun! Prices are very reasonable for the tapas. If you go for a drink, you'll get a complimentary small plate of food.

This wonderful restaurant just steps from the piazza del poppolo is a quiet refined space perfect for a great meal. The interior is housed in an old hat shop where those cabinets now display the wines and provide a very nice backdrop. There is soft piano music playing and the tables are large enough to provide plenty of room for your dishes nor are they packed in. The service is friendly, crisp and professional. The wine list has something for everyone. The bread basket is home made and it shows. We were each given a complementary vegetarian meatball which was very good,We ordered the tortellini with a an aged Parmesan sauce. This is an excellent version of this dish. The tortellini were obviously hand made, cooked perfectly al dente and the flavor worked beautifully with the Parmesan. The veal was perfectly cooked, crispy with the right amount of ham and a nice sauce that fished off the dish. The potatoes were also perfectly cooked and flavored with some rosemary. We tried the tiramisu for dessert. A tiramisu that has been tweaked with a bit more mascarpone and amazing chocolate shavings. Proving a perfect dish can be improved Overall just an excellent experience at a place that hits all the right notes.
