This place was really good. I selected the short rib pasta and my date picked the lobster ravioli. We were both very satisfied with our choices. We also ordered the passion fruit drink but it did take awhile to come out. Other than that I really enjoyed the ambiance and food. read more

I've eaten at Five Restaurant before and the food was really good. Five Restaurant was busy on January 29th. My sister ordered the stuff chicken with broccolini. It was horrible. She couldn't define a taste. It look like it was a plate of food that someone returned. It looked like it had been sitting for a long time. I ordered the beef rib with mash potatoes. The beef rib's appearance looked as though it had been refrigerated for a couple of days. It tasted okay. But the beef rib's appearance wasn't cooked freshly on January 29, 2026. The mash potatoes were soft on top and hard on the bottom. I mentioned to the waiter that my sister's dinner wasn't good at all. And he just stared at me like a deer in headlights. He made No response so I just said forget it. I expected more from FIVE RESTAURANT. Unprofessional. Disappointed. The appetizers were fresh and delicious. I don't know if I'll return. read more

If it weren't for the Hostess-Michelle we would've had a bad night. We were seated outside in the patio and it was a very warm this Saturday night, even though the swamp cooler was on! She was so accommodating in getting us an inside table after asking us if we would like to move. We had the best food, service was awesome! I love the oldies music in the background. We were impressed on how many servers was moving like oiled machines! No one was standing around and they were all helpful. The food was delicious and served hot! The Halibut was so tender and spices was spot on. The shrimp spaghetti with sun-dried tomato was also delish! Best of all, the Bananas foster was the Bomb! Thank you Michelle for all you did to make our night special! read more

This review was long overdue. Used to frequent Five for many years but hadn't been in some time. A few weeks ago we went back and I have to say it was hands down one of the best meals I've had anywhere. Everything was delicious and the ambiance was delightful. Pat and his staff do an excellent job making this a go to place in Fresno that's hard to beat. read more

I was recently here for a catered event and it was fantastic. We had a nice and simple spread, pastas, bruschetta, pizza and salad. Service was on point and the environment was really comfortable. Pat, the owner, did a great job taking care of all of our guests. Five is a Fresno institution and is always worth a visit!! read more

My first time here, and it was amazing. The ambiance was nice and cheerful with soft oldies music in the background . Loved it. Ryan was absolutely the best waiter! He knows the menu like the back of his hand. If you go, ask to sit in Ryan's section. We had the best time. All the staff know how to run a restaurant. You won't be disappointed . The food and desert was amazing along with the delicious pomegranate martins. Definitely will be coming back here! read more

Amazing!!! We got gift cards for Christmas and we splurged. The drinks and food were top notch. The restaurant is beautiful, classy, romantic- although our table was a little too close to the other tables, would've preferred a booth but it was just the 2 of us. The lighting was just right!! We got the short rib plate and lobster ravioli's, so hot and tasty. The short ribs just fell apart, it had a delicious lemon flavor, just perfect. It was accompanied by whipped potatoes and broccolini!! My lobster ravioli had a creamy tomato base with tiny shrimp swimming around, it was to die for. We got a moscato from Paso and the Beso de Verano drink that had a habanero kick to it!!! I would recommend this restaurant, Brenda was fabulous, she was professional, helpful and kind. Would recommend!!! read more

I visited the restaurant on 12/23/2925. The service was a mess. I felt like I got robbed. I order a Five hamburger and it comes with salad or French fries. The burger was bad I only ate two bites due to it was horrible In n Out burger is much better tasting and it's 5x cheaper. The Mai Thai had no alcohol taste at all. Anyway my total dinner comes out to $70 for the drink and a burger. The space was so small and crammed. Would I recommend to anyone? HELL NO!! read more

We were here on a very busy Saturday evening before New Year's. Even with a reservation we still had a bit of a wait until our table was ready and service was a bit slow. We'll have to come back on a regular day. We ordered an espresso martini and a lavender martini, both were pretty good but sloppy (sticky wet glass stems), probably from the rushed busy night. We had the Chilean sea bass, pappardelle bolognese, and the short ribs. Everything tasted delicious and we would probably order the same entries again. We took some hurried pictures as we were eating so the photos don't look as great as the food tasted. read more

Actually hadn't been here in over a decade. Service was great. They bring you water and bread immediately. The drinks were very good. The Tuscan Nachos appetizer, Lobster raviolis and Tiramisu were absolutely incredible! Gonna be honest that I didn't love the Chilean sea bass with butternut squash risotto. The bass was cooked perfectly, but the dish was really sweet and the risotto looked like more a rice dish than traditional risotto. You can see from the picture. Definitely a good meal as a whole and will not wait another decade to come back., read more

Went to Five Restaurant on a Wednesday at 6pm! I made a reservation for two a couple of days in advance.. I would recommend making reservations since the restaurant was packed when my fiancée and I went. Right when we entered, we were greeted right away, and we were seated. Our waiter was very attentive throughout. I ordered the calzone... and it was DELICIOUS! It consisted of ground beef, pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, mozzarella. The rich and hearty red sauce really added to the calzone-- and there was ALOT of the sauce, which is a good thing! The filling of mushrooms, onions and mozzarella in the calzone was so flavorful. For dessert we ordered the Creme Brulee. I will definitely come to Five Restaurant for this! Each bite was exquisite. The quality is what you can taste and the crunch of the top and the consistency of the custard is so good! My fiancée ordered the Rigatoni Monterosa pasta and he really enjoyed each bite. Particularly the peas was a nice addition. Overall enjoyed the service food and ambiance. read more

The atmosphere is nice and the staff is attentive. I wish they had more vegetarian options. The Caprese is amazing. For the main course I got the risotto which I would not order again. I double checked with the server that it's vegetarian. (Another reviewer said that the risotto was made with chicken broth, I was informed that it is not made with chicken broth and is vegetarian.) However, I do think they should rename the dish since it hardly has any rice in it and is mostly peas. Would come back. read more

Had a great time! Beautiful restaurant. Food was amazing. Could have made a meal out of appetizers alone. Portions were plentiful and hearty. Server, Dave was awesome! Pat came by our table and was a pleasure to meet after all these years. Great wine selection as well. Will definitely be back. read more

I've been here many times and the food is always amazing. Last night, we were there for a celebration. We were warmly greeted by hostesses. We started with drinks at the bar until our table was ready. The drinks didn't disappoint (Thank you Kaelyn!). We always like the vibe in the bar area. We were sat right on time and enjoyed a fabulous meal. The service and our server (LuLu) were excellent. If you're lucky enough to run into Pat, the owner, then your experience at Five is complete. Pat is friendly, very funny and a calzone lover, like me. Thanks again!! read more

This was a great dining experience! It's our Anniversary today and we wanted something special and different, FIVE did not disappoint. I would highly recommend the Short Rib dinner, it was flavorful, and mouth watering. Our server was very attentive, service was quick, and ambience was perfect. It was so worth the trip from Visalia (52 miles one way) Do yourself a favor and enjoy! read more

Five Restaurant - Short Ribs in wine sauce, with whipped potatoes and broccolini. - Italian Near Me - Fresno, California

The vibes and the service were good, I really wish I could have given a better review but the food was just not up to par for us. For what we spent for a special dinner, we were so disappointed by the food. It wasn't horrible, but for what we spent I would hope we could have enjoyed the meal more. Bruschetta: 4/5 This was our first time here and we received this complimentary - it was really sweet of them and we enjoyed it, but I wouldn't pay the menu price for it Calamari Fritti: 2/5 Such a small portion, and it was just okay, I would say it isn't as good as most calamari I've had at different restaurants Antipasto: 3/5 Enjoyable to munch on while we waited for our entrees, but nothing special, the best item on the plate was probably the prosciutto Gnocchi Pesto: 4/5 This was the best dish of the night, but it still didn't feel worth the price we payed considering there wasn't a protein in this dish Short ribs: 2/5 Not tender, lacking in flavor, this was the dish we were most excited for and most disappointed by read more

Service is great here, a lot of people working at once and everyone from the front of the restaurant to the back are hustling. It can be a little loud at times depending on how busy the place is but overall not too bad. The sea bass is my go to order. Always consistent and filling, highly recommend for any seafood lover. The pizza (combo) was a bit of a let down. It wasn't anything special as far as cheese and toppings go. I thought the crust was enjoyable, but overall I wouldn't recommend the combo pizza (only because you can get a pizza like this anywhere else). read more

Nice restaurant, but there are much better options for authentic Italian food. The food is also extremely overpriced. The staff is top notch. Ambiance is upscale. read more

Came here for a birthday dinner and it was a good experience. Note: Parking can be super crowded on the weekends, especially on a Saturday so keep that in mind! The interior was romantic and intimate with dim overhead lighting and candles lit on the table! Service was good. The waitress constantly checked in on us and always refilled our waters when we were low. As for the food: 〰  Rigatoni Monterosa (4/5): It was yummy! The pasta was cooked well, the sauce was delicious, and the peas added the perfect bite to the pasta. 〰  Creme Brulee (4/5): Perfectly sweet, melts in your mouth. It was a great portion size, especially if you're sharing! A great way to end the dinner. Overall, it was a good experience! read more

We came for an early Valentine's Day celebration (2 days away) and were pleasantly surprised they had a Valentine's Day special drink menu and dinner specials. Dan chose linguine sea pasta dish and I chose the short ribs. The food was exquisite and our server, Nikki, was incredible. In a short conversation I realized she got us to share it was a late Anniversary celebration and early Valentine's Dinner. She brought us a complimentary tiramissu with a candle. Good restaurant, great food and wonderful server tops the whole night incredible. read more

We had forgotten about 5. It's been way too long. The Tuscan Nachos were excellent. We also split the Short Rib dinner and the pepperoni and mushroom pizza, also excellent! Brie was spot on with her service. Inside 5 was clean and busy for a Thursday evening. I think we will put this on our restaurant rotation again. Great evening! read more

I can't count the amount of times I have eaten here or DoorDashed their food. Consistently fresh, quality and portions are amazing!

Great Food Great Service and Pat and Marina LaRocca are the best. Convient location

Ambiance was perfect. Appetizers were wonderful (coconut shrimp, with honey cream sauce and bruschetta) I enjoyed the blackened salmon and my husband had the Five burger (it was huge and delicious) The service was great. When we're in Fresno again we're going back. read more

Parmesan is not vegetarian. Chicken broth is not vegetarian. Five Restaurant is grossly misrepresenting vegetarian options on their menu. I don't dine here often as there are little to none vegan/vegetarian options, however my friend picked Five for a birthday dinner. I was pleased to see a mushroom risotto added to the menu, despite it being the most basic plant based dish at "fine" dining restaurants, and asked if it would be considered vegan if the parmesan was left out. Our waitress checked with the kitchen and stated that the kitchen told her that, yes it can be made sans Parmesan, however it is made with chicken broth, so would not be considered vegan. When I asked why it was listed under the vegetarian option when it is clearly not,, our waitress said she would have go over that with the kitchen. The birthday girl ordered the Rigatoni Monterosa and was only able to find a single sliver of prosciutto in her dish. Be very cautious if you have any dietary concerns or allergies as it appears their menu is not an honest representation of what comes out of their kitchen. read more

So me and my husband receive a giftcard for five restaurant last Christmas and with our busy life's we barely got the chance to use them this past weekend & it was worth the wait!(we also came across their Instagram and they mention that the gift-cards were gonna expire!) I made a reservation the same day and went that night. We waited for less than 5 mins for a table & we're seated & served very fast! For under $150 we had appetizers, 2 cocktail drinks, 2 entrées & 2 desserts it was a great time & we def can not wait for another date night! read more

An intimate Italian restaurant serving great drinks and food. No wonder the parking lot was packed at opening, this was an ideal dinner spot. Highly recommend making a reservation as they were quite busy at 5PM. Our server was incredible and appetizers came out quickly. The entrees were a bit slower but it was understandable given the rush. =ORDERED= *Lavender Martini: as an avid lavender fan, this was a pleasantly scented and sweet cocktail. Tasted like an elevated, floral lemonade. Easily could have had a few of these. *Bread: came out steaming with a side of olive tapenade. The bread itself was airy and the tapenade was naturally earthy. Light complementary starter. *Bruschetta: came with four pieces of well toasted bread. It might be a bit dark for some but I always enjoy a good crunch. The tomatoes were vibrant and garlicky, pairing well with the balsamic vinegar. *Carpaccio: melt in your mouth, thinly sliced filet mignon covered in fresh arugula, capers, lemon juice and parmigiana. The toppings were generous without impeding on the natural sweetness of the filet mignon. Favorite dish of the night. *Pappardelle Bolognese: perfectly al dente and smothered in their meat sauce. I mentioned that I preferred a tomato forward sauce and our server was kind enough to make a note with the chef. The sauce was acidic and the ground beef was tender and salty. A classic done well. *Seafood Tagliatelle: their Friday special. Came with a rich white wine and butter sauce that was packed with shellfish flavor. The pasta was similarly al dente but topped with soft white fish, scallops and shrimp. The seafood shined and the sauce wasn't too overwhelmingly heavy. *Creme Brûlée: cutely heart shaped for the month of February. The assorted berries were sweet and the custard was creamy. Had subtle notes of vanilla and easily shareable for 2. A lovely restaurant in Fresno that was reasonably priced and tasty. read more

We came here on a recommendation while in town for the Brandon Lake&Phil Wickham concert; myself, husband, and my in laws. The environment was warm, welcoming and we were greeted right away. Our server (wish I remembered her name! ) was SO sweet and helpful with the specials and being patient with us while we decided what to order since everything sounded so good!!! We ended up ordering the fried artichokes and coconut shrimp for appetizers and we were BLOWN AWAY! They were DELICIOUS! For dinner- Bone In Rib Eye, two orders of Pescatore Linguini, and the Chilean Seabass; all of which were SOOO full of flavor, tender, cooked perfectly and came out VERY quickly! This was one of the best meals we have had in a long time! If we lived closer to the area, we would FOR SURE be back again! Thank you FIVE for an unforgettable meal! read more
