Fresco Smithfield

We celebrated my dad's 88th birthday at Fresco in Smithfield on Sunday. Our waiter was Bobby and he was amazing. He was so attentive. We were a party of 15 with small children and he really made the night special. We had the all you can eat chicken dinner and it was delicious. Everything from the salad to the pasta, fries and chicken was the perfect. Will definitely come back again.

Came here with my family & expected better food than this. I ordered the chicken Milanese & it wasn’t crispy at all. Soggy and very oily little to no taste. My fiancé didn’t enjoy his burger either and the fries were awfully dry. My son ordered the kids moz sticks and he didn’t seem to like those either! I couldn’t believe that I overheard the chefs talking smack as well laughing that I ordered a Caesar salad instead when I sent the food back. Of course I didn’t want to wait for something else to be cooked and may have been bad as well so yeah I ordered the Caesar. The server was great no complaints there but the food … not great & the chefs … do better sweetheart. I seen you come from the kitchen and give me a look I work in restaurants I’m not stupid. You can see the oil on the plate in

We tried the family style chicken dinner. The bread was so good. I was very surprised that the pasta was not good. We did not like the sauce at all. It almost had the taste of a jar sauce. The salad and french fries were probably the best part of the dinner. The chicken was dry and not very tasty. We had coffee that was cold and served in just the cup. The tea had a cup and saucer. We didn't have spoons to stir our coffee so we used a straw from our soda. Did I mention the lipstick on my cup? I guess that can happen. We would not go there again for the family style chicken as there are other places where it is much better. We frequent their Cranston restaurant where I think the food is much better.

Let me start that our waitress was very nice - however service was slow - they took us right in... we had fish no chips for $28.00 and it was the size of a mcdonald's filet of fish! I had ceasar salad that had no dressing on it and the romano cheese was stale - our meatball was cold. the food was awful - we told the waitress she went to the manager and took $30 off and offered free desert - we past on the desert - I will never eat here again. This is not the first time it's failed - I will say the fresco in cranston is 10x better than here in smithfield !

Amazing all-you-can eat Sunday family-style chicken! The food was delicious and the portions were very generous. My family, including two teens, and the older friends we were dining with were highly impressed by the quality and flavor (even the warm bread was out of this world!) and will definitely be back - both for this meal again and to try their regular menu offerings.
