Fui con mi esposa a nuestra cena de aniversario, el lugar no estaba muy lleno cuando llegamos y nos ubicaron en una mesa cerca de la registradora un poco incómoda, después de 15min pedimos q nos cambiarán a otra mas comoda.. El servicio estuvo regular, nos atendió un señor con supuesto acento italiano y cola de caballo, un poco distraido ya que cuando nos trajo el primer apetizer le pedimos pan y se le olvido, al final de la cena pedimos la carta de postre y nos la dejo en la mesa y se fue a conversar con otras personas a otra mesa Como por mas de 25min hasta que me pedimos a otro mesero que nos trajera la cuenta.. En general estuvo bastante bien, solo tienen q prestar más atención al servicio.. No venden alcohol 😥😥😥I went with my wife to our anniversary dinner, the place was not very busy when we arrived and we were placed at a table near the cash register a bit uncomfortable, after 15min we asked to be moved to another more comfortable .. The service was average, We attended a gentleman with a supposed Italian accent and ponytail, a bit distracted since when he brought us the first apetizer we asked for bread and he forgot, at the end of the dinner we ordered the dessert menu and left it at the table and Went to talk with other people to another table As for more than 25 minutes until I asked another waiter to bring the bill .. Overall was pretty good, they just have to pay more attention to service .. Do not sell alcohol 😥😥

Service was attentive but a bit slow. We were seated for almost an hour before someone took our food order.

When we looked at the website, we should have been able to figure out that this place wasn’t for us—they have a restaurant, a bar, and a lounge. The lounge should have been a red flag. The bar is tiny and overcrowded. If you’re not sitting at the bar which has about 8 seats, you have to stand behind it or in the doorway leading to the restaurant. You also have to wait for someone to come to you to place your drink order. There’s a small seating area in the front that can be reserved for groups. If that’s booked, it fills up and there aren’t enough drink menus to go around. The restaurant was full and we had a reservation for 8:45. It looked like there was a birthday party for a middle schooler booked and that took up about a third of the dining room. The tables are cramped and when people are shouting at each other over the dance music that’s playing, you can’t hear the person you’re dining with. We ended up ordering two drinks and then cutting our losses. We didn’t want to cut the staff short on a reserved table for two, but the place was absolutely unbearable. If you’re looking for a night out with a group of friends, maybe I’d recommend this place. If you want to actually spend an evening with someone you enjoy, I would find another spot.

I have dined at Fresco many times for brunch but never dined for dinner. I went with my husband for our 1 year anniversary and had such an incredible dining experience. I can’t remember the last time I have dined out and had every touch point be absolutely incredible!! The staff is exceptional and professional. Timing on point, not rushed perfectly spaced out in between courses. The food truly spectacular!! I can’t wait to go back, Fresco Da Franco never disappoints. Lastly the ambiance is beautiful I loved the little lamps with beautiful deep red lamp shades on each table. Highly recommend for a great dining experience.

The salmon entree and beet salad was delicious. The pasta bolognese was nothing to rave about. The atmosphere was nice and noise level was good. We were able to have a conversation easily.

I had an apple spinach salad to begin my dinner. It was excellent. Crisp, thinly sliced apples with walnuts, goat cheese and cranraisins with an apple cider dressing. My main course was salmon Florentine with risotto. This was an amazing dish. The salmon was fresh and was not overcooked. The spinach, red peppers and mushrooms enhanced the flavor of the salmon. The risotto was a perfect to complement the dish. BRAVO to the chef’

Note: we went for Valentine’s Day so take it with a grain of salt. They added lots of extra tables and the seating felt cramped. It also seemed like because of the increased volume in customers, the kitchen was very behind and we were waiting more than 30 minutes for our appetizers, entrees and desserts (each). Our server was apologetic and friendly. It just seemed as though the staff was scrambling and having trouble keeping up. The food was good, but not the best in the area.
