I honestly don't know what has happened to this establishment. It used to be one of the jewels of our area. We tried for two months to speak with someone about booking a private event, and was never able to get any information just lots of unanswered messages, and no real contact to speak of. It's such a shame, we had to go elsewhere. I guess customer service is a thing of the past. read more

The las time I had been there was my wedding reception in 2012 so I had some high expectations. Fermented ice tea (when you don't clean the jug between each batch) just started my wife's birthday dinner, they brewed a new batch which was fine. Borchetta was good but the crostini soaked (soggy) in balsamic vinegar. My wife liked her 4x4 lasagna. I got the chicken and pasta in a white sauce. Huge amount of sauce vs the pasta. My wife wanted me to take the extra sauce home and make another meal from it. Last I love me a good tiramisu (very easy to make at home). Theirs was an interpretation using a sheet cake with powered chocolate and a cream sauce to soak it in. No expresso flavor I could make out. I use a mix of expresso and Kahlua for mine to soak the Italian lady fingers in (traditional recipe). They used to have a moussaka that was really good. So.......... over all it wasn't bad, just not what I was expecting........................ read more

Horrible, horrible wait times! It wasn't busy.. arrived BEFORE 7p food didn't come until AFTER 830p. Asked for boxes to go when the food ARRIVED.. the waiter was pleasant but wasn't our original waitress.. I asked for penne noodles but got rigatoni.. no one even bothered to come over and tell me that they didn't serve penne noodles but it is clearly an item on their menu.. and to top it off.. the food was bland! No seasoning on the chicken. The brunette didn't even come with the balsamic glaze.. Who does that? This place has a great atmosphere if you don't have any plans.. really really disappointed! The wine was really good, but STILL couldn't fix this bad experience or tasteless food. VERY UPSETTING. read more

We just had our office holiday party here and it was amazing! The food was so good! That never disappoints! They were so helpful in getting the room ready for us and we were truly appreciative! If you are looking for a place to host a party, please choose Fresco II. You will not be disappointed! Thanks again Amalia and team!! read more

This place is like coming home! When you enter through the doors Ashley or Harry greets you with a smile and remembers your drink order. My favorite is the red sangria. Don't even try it at other resturants - you will be disappointed. The food is superb. The chef, Lenny, always uses fresh ingredients and takes pride in what he makes. He will take the time to simmer a sauce just so it tastes right and is the right consistency. If something does go wrong, Lenny will have his kitchen staff redo it at his cost. He will not serve subpar food, or food you find at most resturants here in the Antelop Valley. I love Mama G's, the lasagna, the pizza, the various salads, the pastrami sandwich and the Greek appetizer plate...best humus even in Europe, I am looking forward to celebrating my retirement party here in December. Yes, there was a review of Fresco II on Tiktok recently. It didn't do this place justice. The ambiance is even better than the video that was posted. So, if you are in the AV area you must stop by this place for lunch or dinner. I promise you if you do, you will make this your go to spot for a casual dinner, a dinner with family, or for a special occasion. Lenny is amazing! He is one of the best chefs I have ever met and eatten under in the U.S. and in Europe. read more

Everytime I have eaten there I have had a good meal, good service and like the ambiance. I know I will never be disappointed whenever I go.

What the heck happened? We've been going to Fresco since their Ave L days. The last few times we've gone, the service is beyond slow, they forget to make our food, and the portions are much smaller. My last straw was yesterday, on Mother's Day! The price gauging and limited menu was seriously offensive. Of all days, Mother's Day??? I don't know what has changed, but our friends were just as upset at their experience at Raven's Nest yesterday. Then, I hop on to Yelp to see if anyone else was upset and notice so many, once 5-star reviews, changed to 1-star for very similar reasons. Did the original families sell their businesses? It's so sad because we vastly prefer to support local, small businesses, but there are limits in what we can tolerate. read more

Came to fresco 2 a few times. My family loves this place. They have good drinks and food.

Had a wonderful time at Fresco's. The staff was very polite, well mannered and helpful, always making sure I was attended to and any empty glasses on my table were either refilled or taken away promptly. With a wonderful dimly lit ambience and slow relaxing music that made me feel like dinner wasn't going to be rushed and would proceed at an enjoyable pace. For the starter, I had calamari which was crispy and delicious, without a trace of the rubbery texture squid can sometimes come with. For my main I had the tortellini with the pasta being well-made and succulent and the stuffing cooked to perfection. For dessert I had the tiramisu, which was a delightful combination of well-made ladyfingers biscuits, custard, and a perfect espresso flavour to go on top. Overall a wonderful experience 10/10, I will be going back. read more

The service... Well pretty wack. Confidence, hospitality and warmth of a welcome need training and work. Though everything else made up for it! The best chicken parm I've had the dishes were incredible all around. The live music was classy and nothing was too done up. Prices very reasonable and coming from out of town the was a jack pot. Thank you to the cooks, performer and surrounding servers/bartenders that helped out! read more

Really good chicken Parmesan where you can taste the quality. The cheese really popped out and matched perfectly with the red sauce. The chicken Marsala was good as well but a little peppery. The wait staff was very relaxed and let you take your time while ordering. Food ranged from $20 a plate for a basic pasta dish up to $70 for a steak. But they do have large portions. read more

Worst customer service I have experienced since this pandemic started. I had to wait by the door for 5 minutes before I asked the bar tender If could sit myself or had to be seated. He told me I had to wait. Another 5 minutes later some guy that "looked" like a manager asked if we needed help? Really? Why would anyone be standing next to a "wait to be seated sign." He then proceeded to ask as to seat ourselves and he would Send someone to help us. After another 10 minutes a waitress apologized and brings over a QR scan code for us to open the menu in our phones. While we do that she proceeds to bring us dirty glasses with water (see photo) . After 10 more minutes of waiting for our orders to be taken nobody showed up. We decided to walk out , there was no attempt at stopping us or asking if anything was wrong. On our way out there was another group clueless waiting also to be seated. I went across the street to Applebee's where they bent over backward to accommodate us. They got us a heater and got great customer service. Great food. And even best, For half the price. read more

Great place to eat and have fun! Oh yeah and to have business meetings. This quaint and authentic resturant has a variety of options for dining! Personally I must say I love the Ginger Soup!

Great place to dine! You'll thank me later! read more

Came here for my birthday dinner 1.4.26 made a reservation, but it wasn't really needed - the place was pretty empty when we arrived the waitress M was very nice we took 30min to order when we did order the kids did not like the pizza the wait was too long when asked about our orders the other waitress stated since your party of 8 was large we are doing orders for the smaller tables that had gotten there after my party?? Irritated we asked for the supervisor she came over not so nice stated the food would be out in 5min ?? we all got our food at different times me the Birthday girl ordered a steak medium well i got a rare steak charred on the outside!!!! We then asked for the check the VIBE was ruined my guess & family were just ready to leave as we were leaving waitress M stated don't come back here?? I took as though the place was RACIST that is why all of our food was just WHATEVER!! I WILL NEVER GO BACK EVER BIRTDAY RUINED !!!PLEASE BE AWARE read more

Best place in Palmdale to eat by far. Never had a bad meal. We have tried most things on the menu. Try it!

Ordered the fire pasta. The sauce was so watery it could not stick to the penne noodles. It looked more like a shallow soup than a pasta dish. When I brought it up the waitress she told me that is what a wine sauce is. I've made and had wine sauce and know for certain this isn't a standard wine sauce. I tried to bring it up again and she didn't even look at my plate to see how soupy it is. I know that food is subjective and people might actually like their pasta like this but when staff seem dismissive when you question the quality of a 22 dollar meatless pasta that's what really turns me off from an establishment read more

Have been coming here for over 15 years. It has seemed to decline in service. Last time we were there they forgot my husband's entree - meaning they never put the order in. Then when it came out it was still cold in the middle of the salmon. We waited 6 months to give this place a try again because of previous potential but today there wasn't someone at checkin for over 5 minutes- someone should ALWAYS be present to greet people. It took another 20 minutes before a waiter even acknowledged us to take our drink order after mentioning it to the check in lady twice. Then they forgot our shrimp order after waiting about an hour for food to come out. Sadly, I don't know when we will come back as this was a go to place back in the day - I even had my baby shower in the private room area 8 years ago. Such great food but takes too long for orders to come out and the customer service is not there. read more

My bf and I came here by accident, we were supposed to eat at another restaurant along that area but the waiting is more than 40 mins. So my bf said let's try FRESCO. We were so impressed with the beautiful ambiance, friendly waitress, clean bathroom and very romantic place. The foods were DELICIOUS , very artistically presented and oh my... BIG SERVING. Last night our 4th time and can't believe all their foods were soooo worth the price and the quality is perfect. We're hooked...this is OUR GO TO.. IN SHORT EVERY FRIDAYS WERE HERE. THANKS FRESCO II. read more

My husband and I went for our anniversary dinner. We love the ambiance here and love to go for special occasions. We started with their bread and dip and a 1/2 Mediterranean salad from the happy hour menu. The bread and dip are amazing! The bread is a little sweet and the dip is garlicky. They said it has walnuts in it and it was tangy but couldn't figure out what else. Next we shared the Cioppino bowl. There was plenty to share and we had enough left over for another two meals! The seafood was fresh and succulent with a perfect lobster tail sitting on top, and the sauce was rich and flavorful. I also had a glass of the happy hour Cabernet which was delicious. All in all, it was a perfect meal and we left stuffed, taking the pistachio cannoli to go. The service was perfect and the music very nice. Thank you for a lovely evening! read more

The atmosphere in the food is wonderful. It's romantic cozy all those things that make for a nice evening. However, servers all appear to be brand new or in training, which is OK but it extends the amount of time you're waiting for service and questions. take two trips to get answered. We were there for a romantic anniversary meal . The only down part of the evening I felt was the server never acknowledged our celebration or even said congratulations. We had to ask to have the candle lit to add to the romantic evening. The time from seating to getting the final check was two hours. read more

We came to celebrate my sister's bday and the waitress was so rude and not welcoming. Her name is Ashley. She made us wait for at least 30 min, before engaging with us. She told us that there was a party of 20, so she can get us started with drinks. Again very curt. I told her that we already knew what we wanted, and we can order now. She said "I can get you started on your drinks and appetizers, because of the party of 20. So I asked will it be like a 45 min wait and she said I don't know, it can be I don't know. But again the attitude. I understand her level of knowledge is basic as she is just a waitress. She is not management or the cook. But she could have phrased it differently, at least a friendlier tone and could have just been honest. So my brother said we have been waiting long so we would just like to know an estimate. She said like I said it's a 20 person ticket they should be done, I'll check with the cook. And I said perfect I don't want to waste your time or ours. She rolled her eyes and walked away. My brother felt uncomfortable and said no let's go somewhere else, because she already looked like she didn't want to be here when she greeted us, and now you made her mad. We have been to this place for birthday celebrations, graduations, and even the private New Year's party. Always great service and great food. But that woman seeps unhappiness, and lack of professionalism. For this type of establishment they need to get someone with better people skills. Because with that attitude she should be working at a drive thru window or the dmv. read more

Our sister Connie lives in Palmdale, for years when we visited, we would always choose to eat at Frescos. When our sister Connie unexpectedly passed away and we were looking for a venue to host the reception, Fresco's came to mind. We needed the reception to start around Noon, but the restaurant doesn't open until 4pm. I called and asked if they would make an exception and open the restaurant for our private reception early? I was contacted by the most helpful and accommodating person, Erica. She said she would need to check with the owner and get back to me. Which she did within 24 hours, with a positive response. From the day before, day of and end of the event ERICA WAS 100% AMAZING!!! Erica helped with choosing the menu, setting up the audio visual equipment for our video slideshow and ALL the little details needed when putting together such an emotional Memorial. Her even keel and helpful calm nature really helped us get through this trying time. Day of, our family, friends and colleagues of our sister Connie entered a beautiful restaurant, superior staff and enjoyed Fresco's delicious food. Many for the first time, but ALL RAVED ON THEIR DISH and the service. The selection we decided on was, skewers of either Chicken breast, Filet Mignon or Chicken Pesto Penne Pasta. Everyone ate as if they were headed to the gas chamber! I cannot say enough on the hospitality Erica and her staff provided us during the amazingly difficult time. I thank you on behalf of our entire Nungaray family. I wholeheartedly recommend Fresco's... not only for their AMAZING food but on their FAMILY HOSPITALITY shown us during a very emotional day.

I do not recommend this restaurant for hosting a birthday party. I had the banquet room reserved 2 months ahead of time, however the hostess the night of had no knowledge of this, leaving my guests confused. I reached out ahead of time to discuss table set up, and was never contacted back so the two waitress rearranged the tables in all wrong heights and sizes. The manager had to come and help me fix this. The manager also left early so I had no help and felt like I was managing the staff myself. Throughout the event, I was asked multiple times for a headcount, when this was coordinated before service. I had to remind the staff multiple times about the timing of appetizers, entrees, the cake, and when the bottles I brought had to be poured - again, this was coordinated before service started. I ended up pouring out champagne to all of my guests myself. I had one server for 32 people on a slow night in the restaurant, when there were other servers (not runners or bussers) on the floor that could've definitely helped my server out. Towards the end of the night, there wasn't a busser, runner or server initiating clean up so my friends & I had to buss the glasses, dishes, and trash ourselves. The staff genuinely seemed like they did not want to be there or help. I was honestly so frustrated & offended that there wasn't a manager on the premise facilitating the flow of service to help their staff out. At no point in time did the boss introduce himself or make sure we were okay. As someone who has worked in the restaurant industry for multiple years, I understand there are hiccups in service but so many details and communication between staff killed the night for me. Very disappointed with this restaurant. read more

We had incredible food and I've been recommending this place to anyone I could. The food welcoming atmosphere and amazing staff made our day so much more special, she took away a lot of the stress we were facing over a place to eat and made us feel relaxed. Truly a gem of a place and I encourage people to go there. read more

Very disappointed in their New Year's eve meal!! we ordered the calamari which is usually a good portion enough for 2 people and for $22+ dollars we got literally 6 pieces lol! And then the lobster ravioli which wasn't cheap either (hiked up prices for holiday) was literally 4 pieces of ravioli! we left hungry and upset! DO NOT ever eat here during their "holiday menu" less food MORE cost triple!!! read more

Went to Fresco for the first time. Love the decor and vibe. Service was good. I thought it was a bit overpriced for lunch. I ordered the Ruben it was very thin and bread was butter soggy, even though it was grilled. I thought it was lacking flavor.
