    Just had a great lunch to celebrate a friends birthday. The menu has new and old Italian items …read more The specials are also fun with new interpretations of classics. I enjoyed the baby lamb chops over white bean salad w/lemon vinaigrette after sharing calamari with a spicy mango sauce . My friends enjoyed the grouper and the lobster salad ; all were good sized portions cooked perfectly. We shared profiteroles and carrot cake and everyone was pleased . Service for a large group was attentive and restaurant allowed you to bring your own bottle so the final bill was more manageable . Parking is available out front.

    03/30/2026 Came to gather with my wife, my sisters and…read morebrother in law. We'd had a birthday gathering at their Fresco restaurant and went home very full and happy. We were brought downstairs to a large room full of tables and were the only ones in there. We wondered if we'd insulted someone, or if one of us might be 'offensive', (no one was) but as it turns out, it was a 'Godsend'. We're all in our 70's and hearing/speaking can be challenging in a crowded/noisy dining room. We remained the only ones there for almost the entire 2 hours we were there and really enjoyed ourselves without having to yell or ask "WHAT!?" We shared a couple of salads (Greek and Arugula) and calamari, all very good. My wife had the seafood capellini and one sister the seafood fra diavolo, which they both enjoyed. My other sister had a seafood salad and my BIL went for the double cut pork chops, which he too enjoyed. I opted for the Halibut / risotto. Halibut is not an easy fish to make 'moist or juicy'. I make it at home and it comes out 'pretty good' (at least my wife says so) but here, this portion was fantastic! So light an flaky and tasty. Definitely give it a try if you enjoy Halibut. We all shared a couple of desserts... a home made carrot cake and a chocolate cake from 'outside'. Both good, but the carrot cake was served warm, which was a first for all of us... and it was terrific! Without a doubt the best carrot cake we'd ever had, so save a little room for their carrot cake if/when go. Our servers, Alyssa and Dagmar provided excellent service as well as some humorous dialogue while we were there. Made our meal just that much better!. Yes... it's a BYOB!

    Despite 40+ people for a recent company dinner, this place exceeded expectations for food quality…read moreand service. The server was very gracious and my meal was cooked within my dietary requests and along with the remainder of the group so I was not the last one to be served. Space is adequate and noise volume tolerable where we were seated. Clean and pleasant atmosphere too. Parking out back or along the street. Would return to check it out without the large group constraints.

    I would 100% recommend this place and come back! All the servers and staff were extremely friendly…read more It was a cute restaurant and can be very romantic for a date. The food was amazing! They were very accommodating with any customizations or alterations for our dishes! Tasted fresh and handmade. My favorite dish was the chicken parm with pasta on the side. I added vodka sauce to the chicken and it was a game changer. I don't like filet mignon but their steak was so good - tender and moist with so much flavor. The pork chop was one of the best pork chops I've ever had! Their drinks were delicious as well. Their portions are a little smaller, but the quality and flavors make up for it! Their desserts were all delicious. I loved their cannoli and torta nocciola. The tiramisu was good too, but I've had better. This is my first of many meals here!
