Horrible Service!! – Within 10 minutes of being seated at our table, the hostess asked us if we could move. Ive dined any many upscale restaurants and not once was I ever asked to move to another table to accommodate guests. Not only was it rude but completely unprofessional. We politely agreed to move and the hostess offered us a round of drinks on the house (took 20 minutes to arrive). Another 30 minutes had passed and our main course did not arrive. The hostess stopped by and asked if everything is ok, I replied Obviously... read more
Overrated – We went out with a few clients. About 10 of us. 8 of us didn't like it. We felt we didn't get the promised authentic Italian favors. Though the service was good. Really nothing special. They waitresses got "talent".
Buen Appetito – Great food, amazing service...Yummy!! The pasta was al dente and the marinara was great.. Try the delicious crab cakes
So well worth it. – During the snowstorm in Jan 2005 - we walked into Fresco - obviously not dressed appropriately due to the weather conditions and it didn't matter to Mrs. Scotto - her grace and welcoming comments were not what you normally hear/see in NY. We were absolutely delighted with our waiter, the food was phenomenal (try the chicken veal with penne bolognese). Will absolutely go again when we are in town.
Hearty Italian and service that'll treat you like family. – The Scene Hunky waiters dub diners "darling" and it sounds like they mean it. The odors emanating from the kitchen smell like mom's (only better) and you know she would approve of the dark blue glasses juxtaposed against pristine white tablecloths. The dim orange lighting and pale yellow walls create a relaxing ambience. The Food Cannelloni melts in the mouth and grilled pork chops are juicy and tender, yet the sides are often more savory than the entrees. A timbale... read more
Rude Staff – City search reates this as good for a group setting. Well I just called the special events co-ordinator and she was so rude to me. When I asked what the price per person was she told me and just asked can you even afford this. I told her probably and then began to ask her if there were any other fees, as in for the private room, she intterupted me and said no there are no other options. She obviously didn't want our patronage at all and I can't see how they get anyone to pay $75 per person for such bad customer ... read more
Wow – If you've been to Italy, you are aware that most Italian food in NY tastes distinctly American. Not so at Scotto. I thought I was back in Mama Italia. Every single thing we ordered, fromt the salad, to the rabbit, porkchop, pasta, and dessert was too good. Yes, a bit expensive, but if you are willing to shell it out, this is a great place to do so. This was my first visit, so I can't comment on consistency, but I'm certainly willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, and will definitely return. The service was also... read more
Lunch! – This is a great place to meet clients for lunch. The risotto is one of the best in the city. The location is so convenient to mid-town.
Big Disapointment – We were extremely disappointed with the atmosphere and service at this restaurant. The only good thing was the food which was WAY overpriced and not much to choose from.
