Fresco by Scotto

My girlfriend and I visited Fresco on Valentines Day after securing a reservation one month in advance. We were welcomed by the hostess and seated by the front door near the bar. I do not believe this was the "Main Dining" area noted in our reservation. It was very busy and consumed with the constant flow of incoming and outgoing patrons, and those at the bar brushing up against the tables. The smoke from cigarette smokers standing near the front entrance was prominent. Since it was Valentine's Day, we decided to just deal with it and enjoy the night. The table was nicely decorated with Valentine's Day décor. Our server introduced himself and handed us the food, wine and special Valentine’s menus but he didn't highlight any specials. He was the only server working the front area with

The interior decor is amazing. We came here during for team lunch. Started off with a mango margarita which was a tad too sweet. Got the margarita pizza to share for the table. It was super salty. I ordered from the lunch pre fixe menu. The meatball was HUGE, more like a meatloaf. Tasted average in my opinion. The rigatoni bolognese was a smaller portion but very good! After the quick coffee, everyone sat around waiting for their dessert, which they forgot to bring out until we reminded them after the check.

I highy recommend this restaurant. From the start, we first go in the girls at the front were so friendly so much so that I felt as if I knew them for years. Very nice. The food, we had the meatball, which was huge and it was fantastic! We also had some pasta bolognese which was also fantasic. Plus we had the pizza and it was just perfect. I can't say anything wrong. The atosphere, the serice all feels like family. We are waiting to go back in a couple of months. This place is not cheap but its all worth IT!

We noticed some nice blue flowers and decided to drop in for a meal. The decor inside was nice, especially the giant tree in the middle. The spacing is very limited, so the staff had to pull out the tables every time we needed to move in/ out. The olives were quite hard and sour. The breadsticks were a bit tough. The tartare was a tad spicy, but well done. The mussels were more sour than I like. The risotto was plentiful with no unique flavors. The salmon was a bit small. The lemon sorbet was surprisingly not sweet and light. The tiramisu was decent.

It's been on my bucket list for years, finally fulfilled the dream, one of the best dining experiences I've ever had, ant wait to go there again, the food, service and atmosphere were outstanding.
