About this business
Run by the celebrated Scotto family, Fresco by Scotto is famous as much for its friendly service as for its Italian fare. Located in the Midtown neighborhood, it brings to New York the authentic flavors of Italian home-cooked food. Their menu consists of exquisite delicacies like Spaghetti Alla Chitarra, Shrimp Tagliolini and their special Fresco Risotto. Their wine list, compiled by their very own Anthony Scotto Jr., is an award winning collection, so do try a glass.

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.
Dining up and out – Everything was good- the fresh peach iced tea, the rabbit, the polenta I had and the entire staff and care we had,. We had last minute dinner ploans, and glad we came here. Pricey, but if someone else is picking up the tab-come here!!
I'd go back for more – I'm very satisfied with the quality of food, service and atmosphere of Fresco. Yes, it's expensive, but it's worth it to treat yourself once in a while with an awesome dining experience. If I have to say something negative about the place, it would be the wait. We made reservations, but we still had to wait over 30 minutes for our table. Perhaps that goes to show how wonderful Fresco is with its overfilled dining room...
Disappointed return customer – An unfortunate and disappointing experience. Took whole family for my father's birthday. It was his last visit to NYC (he had cancer) and I wanted to make this special. But the lobster pasta was so bad and so un-fresh we had to send it back, and they charged us for two extra entrees without any explanation. When I complained to the manager, he changed the bill but didn't apologize. I called the next day and spoke to another manager, but he didn't offer any kind of compensation. My father did lo... read more
Good food, but bad vibe... – Went to Fresco for the second time yesterday. The food (Eggplant and Zucchini pie) was much better than last time (can't remember what I had, if that says something). The service seemed fine to me. The prices, however, are a little bit out of control. My lunch entree was $22 and I was turned off by the fact that they will charge you an entree price if you order a salad for lunch (c'mon - a $22 salad!). Gotta make sure they squeeze each person for at least $20 bucks!
