Overall, our group of four enjoyed our 2.5 hours at Fraschetta. The ambience was quaint. The noise level from the 2nd floor was not too, distracting,' quiet enough for everyone to be able to easily hear one another. The food was tasty though I felt one of the pasta specials was a little small. We ordered two pasta dishes (Rigatoni alla Norma and the Spinach Special), a steak entree, and the pork entree special. We followed that up with tortinos, gelato, panna cotta, expresso, coffee, and cappuccino. The overall bill was over $200 feeling as if some the dishes were overpriced by around $5 per plate. That all said, we did enjoy our time, meaning, I believe that we would come back in the future.
