Enjoyed our rooftop dinner at 264 Fresco. Our waiter Lucas was very attentive, gave great recommendations for food and drinks. We had the spinach artichoke pizza, short ribbed burrata, forro salad with salmon, chicken parmesan substituted pasta instead of polenta. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Fun place to eat...especially for a more festive atmosphered. Would definitely return again!
