Pizza Fresca makes what is a certified neapolitan pizza. For those of you who have never had the luck to taste real neapolitan pizza (which you basically can't find in NY), it has indeed a distinctive "sogginess" to it. That means it's a bit softer and more "chewier". It is different from thin crust pizza. So, for all of you who complained about the sogginess, I am sorry but that's what Neapolitan pizza is all about (and also being a bit burnt on the side, in case you hate that as well, be aware). This said, I think Pizza Fr... read more

pretty good – nice restaurant with good solid italian food. lots of different pastas and brickoven pizza to try. got a nice glass of house barbera which worked great. the calamari was ok. it's huge, you can totally share with a couple of friends. pastas seemed really rich. i prefered the pizza. mine was with prosciutto. service was low. there seemed to only be 2 waiters who seemed indifferent and a bunch of busboys running around performing waiter duties. i'd go again if i was in the neighborhood but for the money i think th... read more

Food Good, But Pizza SOGGY – HAd a pleasant experience at fresca, the food , service, atmosphere - all enjoyable. My only complaint is that because of the cheese used - Buffalo Mozarella - and it's high water content makes for soggy pizza... so the longer the pizza sits on your plate the soggier it will get -so eat it quick.... Otherwise ingredients were very fresh and yummy, it's still one of my favorite italian spots!

Great pizza, rude service – The brick oven pizza was excellent. The margarita pizza was delicious-- it was served pipping hot! Yum! I agree that the service was rude and slow. I understand the old world charm in leaving the patrons alone to enjoy a relaxed meal, but the wait was ridiculous.

delicious pizza – I thought I was dreaming when i tasted the pizza Margherita. We were impressed with the fresh ingredients and the delicious sauce. The prices were affordable and the portions were generous. The only down side was the poor and disappointing service.

Deliciously authentic – This little nook is truly a gem. Upon walking in and noticing the exposed red brick wall and the white tableclothes and and huge rack of various wines behind the bar, I felt like I was in a truly authentic Italian restaurant. The house chianti, salmon appetizer and tortellini with a delicious red sauce were all excellent. Prices were reasonable too.
