I recently had the opportunity to dine in this restaurant. The menu choices were extensive so I had high hopes about getting a decent meal. I ordered one of the specials which happened to be a veal chop. The sides with the dinner were mashed potatoes and broccoli. The chop was very fatty, not a whole lot of meat on... More

Appetizer (Swordfish Tempura) was poor Veal Chop in a wine reduction (special of the evening) was inedible. I didn't attempt a dessert. Maybe the chef was sick.... I'm feeling a bit sick myself.... I wouldn't return. There are too many other good restaurants in this are to be bothered with this one. More

Do not order anything Italian they don’t have a clue, should have stuck to meat and potatoes which in the past has been good. Also the fish soup is great More

I attended a dinner party recently at Cafe Fresco. It was my first visit, and a delightful one. The food was utterly delicious, and presented pleasingly. The crusty bread and infused oil are to-die-for! The waitstaff is fantastic, friendly and always served with a smile. Service was quick and efficient, especially given that they were serving a group of 70-plus... More

Wow,it appears the whole staff feels that way, on this very busy friday evening we watched in... More

Parking is a nightmare, owner has an attitude the size of California. Food is good. Patrons are the wannabe's of the area. For the money, I want more atmosphere,less attitude. Word to the wise. If you own the place, try not to drink with the only bartender on duty. Looks very bad, and impedes her service to the paying customers. More
