Decent food, but at what cost? – The food was good, however, make sure you check you bill before you leave. We ordered 3 desserts to share amongst our party and they sent us for 10! They kept bringing desserts out, so we assumed they were being very gracious. The next business day I called to let them know they charged me for 7 additional desserts I did not order I did not dispute it that night because I did not want to make a scene in front of my guests, also we sent back drinks that were unacceptable which we were also cha... read more
Citysearch Editorial Profile – The focus is on Tuscan cuisine with a modern slant at this midtown haunt.
Decent date night – Took my girfriend there for her birthday last year and was slightly satisfied with the night. The food was decent while the service was excellent. The waitress knew the menu inside and out and made suggestions based on what we were saying and how we were reacting to the choices. On the night we were there it was a bit touristy, but then again, it is Midtown Manhattan. I'd recommend it for a night out with the wife/girlfriend if you're doing something else after (movie/drinks, etc.)
can't miss Classic new italian. Always very happy for a meal at Fresco. Really great wine list and superb food. Portions are significant. Very fresh. Accommodating staff. A bit pricey and tables are a bit close but all in all a pleasure
Great food, friendly staff, fun atmosphere – The pasta is fantastic, the special pizzas are scrumptious and the bolognese sauce is to die for. The place is loud, but a lot of fun and a place to watch people. The staff always goes the extra mile to ensure that it's a perfect evening.
Don't go to Fresco – Waste of money, BAD food. Under-cooked shrimp, fatty lamb, jarred sauce, and a frozen solid ball of tasteless ice milk they call "tiramisu gelato" for desert. Mixed drinks made incorrectly and with little to no alcohol in them. Four dollar breadsticks. Tourist trap.
Over ambitous glop strictly for the tourists – Glorified Pizzeria food at top dollar prices, the menu is over ambitious some of the food was so heavy we could not eat it, and good calamari can be had almost anywhere at half the price- don't bother it is for the tourists! 12/08
Fresco- What a Disappointment. – We arrived on time for an 8pm reservation. It was for a party of two. We were told we could have an immediate table in the bar or wait 10 or 15 minutes for a table in the main dining room. We elected the later and at 8:30pm, I asked Mrs Scotto how much longer. She replied table #13 was just paying and it should not be too much longer. Forty-five minutes after our reservation, we were seated at a table. Surprisingly, we were NEVER offered a cocktail for our troubles. Our waiter arrived and did... read more
Horrible service – I recently had a business lunch at Fresco. The food was good but I was extremely disappointed by the quality of service. The waiter (Vinnie) had the nerve to approach my colleague and I not more than 5 minutes after we paid our check and in a condescending way "informed" us that there was a second seating. Our entire lunch was not even an hour and already they were ushering us out the door. I was so angry that when I got back to the office, I called the restaurant and asked to speak to the manager. I was t... read more
