    I had the best dining experience I’ve ever had in my life. I brought my boyfriend here for his birthday and the staff made us feel like celebrities. Not only were the appetizers, entrees and dessert amazing but the service was beyond amazing. A big thanks to our server for making us feel so special. I will definitely be coming back.

    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.

    Wonderful restaurant with eclectic menu and great service. We had the Halibut special and Short rib gnocchi. We started with a salad loaded with fruit and flavor. For dessert, we shared the pound cake drenched in coffee with ice cream. Everything was delicious and cooked to perfection. BYOB. Reasonable prices and large portions.

    I honestly had an incredible time. Me and my boyfriend went for valentine’s day knowing we already wanted to try the famous pasta flight! The manager in charger was so nice and came to out table a few times to make sure everything was okay. It was such a nice environment. I cannot wait to go back and tell everyone how great my dinner was.
