Great food, solid service and a fun environment. Fun DJ on the weekends gets guests up from the seats to dance. The team working were all having fun and truly enjoy being there. If looking for something different than a stuffy restaurant this is the spot. Also try the pizza, so thin and crispy, Amazing!!

Everything at Fresco from the ambience to the food to the service is outstanding! The staff is very friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the atmosphere is upbeat and nicely decorated with festive and seasonal decor. Plus, the food and drinks are some of the best I’ve ever had, especially Mama Scotto’s meatball! Thanks for a wonderful experience. I’m looking forward to coming back very soon!

I took my niece for lunch yesterday while we were in the city and while it's a bit pricey it's also among the best Italian food we've both ever had and being Italian we've both had lots of Italian food. We both had the Bolognese. Most excellent. The tiramisu is very tasty

My favorite restaurant in NYC! The most delicious authentic Italian food. Excellent atmosphere, great service and the best lemon drop martini.

Fresco is a total scene. Great that the food is amazing. But if you're looking for a solid vibe, secure a table outside. Its a very Italian Rivera club vibe. Between the music, food and energy you can't go wrong. Unless you're looking for a quiet dinner. 🤫 Update: I did decide to return for lunch but sat outside this time. Absolutely loved the vibe. Service was great and the food delicious.

I would give Fresco 10 stars if I could. We attended the Christmas Eve dinner and it was simply outstanding! The ambiance was fantastic, with lots of foliage, lights, live music, and an enthusiastic service. The food was excellent! We probably had 15 things off the menu and everything was delicious. Even the bar area was really cool. Do yourself a favor and check this place out! We will be back!

They had great waiters who always where on the ready of you needed them, we got our food within ten minutes, which was better than all other food in New York , and it was only a fifteen minute wait for dessert too. The only reason I didn’t eat there every day is because I can’t afford it. Hope you get to enjoy this stunning place

I have been watching the Scotto family on the today show for years. It could be that my taste buds have changed since I have long Covid but maybe I ordered the wrong thing. You have to really really love meatballs. I ordered the giant meatball appetizer and it was just way too much. The ambience is spectacular. The service is spectacular, clean an elegant. I would love to go back and try an actual dinner. I only stopped by for a snack, while shopping. Authentic Italian food here, and I absolutely adored the employees ! They make you feel so special. I’ll definitely be back, just wasn’t in the mood for a 3 pound meatball!

So Tasty!!! 4 more visits. Perfect each time. OMG seafood risotto had tons of mussels and tons of clams. Yummy. WOW, fantastic in all respects. Before I get to the food I have to admit that we were seated in the center of the celebrity universe and I am a bit reluctant to post this because I fear I will look like a school girl or fanboy, but I was awestruck for sure by several of my favorite stars being seated beside us. More on that later, first the food. Spectacular. Started with the Whole Milk Burrata which was served warm and is made on site. Full of flavor and soft like a breast implant which is the way I love it. She had the Lobster Arancini which was really good and had lots of lobster. Be sure to get both. She had the Rigatoni Bolognese which was thick, good chewy and tons of flavor in the veal and chicken sauce. I had the Chitarra with Beef Meatballs. Awesome. Meatballs were fall apart soft with great seasoning and flavorful. Chitarra was very good made in house by the way. Desserts are HUGE. All of them were great but we loved the banana pudding, the ricotta cheese cake and the doughnuts with dipping sauce the best. We were seated in a corner table and our waiter Alan was wonderful. He has been there forever and has a lovely Scottish accent. He knows the food inside and out and had lots of great suggestions. Now for the celebs. First see the photos below. After we sat down they seated ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith next to us. Very nice man for sure. Then comes in Geraldo Rivera my hero. They sat him 2 tables from me and I was in awe like a school girl. Between us was the restaurants founders widow and her grandson. The grandson was a joy to speak to and he gave us a lot of the history of the place and told us about the food. He was banned from eating there as a child by his grandmother because he ate there so often so he really knew the menu inside and out. Then in comes Former Governor Chris Christie who sits down with Stephen A. Smith. What a power table. Christie said hello to almost everyone and for each person he made some hilarious comment mostly self deprecating. He really captured the room. He left everyone laughing. Finally Joe Johnson from “Mornings in NYC” fame joins Geraldo. Geraldo saw our anniversary desserts and started up a conversation with us. He is remarried and talked about how great it is. I had seen him break his watch on TV about 30 minutes earlier and told how I was a watch collector, and he spent a few minutes showing me his Cartier that he has had for over 45 years. See photo below. All in all it was one of our greatest dinners every. The owner dropped by several items to make sure everything was perfect and we were surprised that he gave us as much attention an any of the celebs or his family next to us. They really made us feel special and the food, service, room and feel of the place is second to none. This is for sure in our top 3 restaurants and we will be back over and over again and will ask for Alan. Check out all of our reviews. If we do not like it we do no review it so all of the ones you see are places that are fantastic. Follow us if you like. We had over 7 million views in 2021 and we thank you for that. We don't get paid, we just love to eat. Be sure to click on "RobH" at the top of this review to see all of them and to follow us if you like good food and fun.
