Great food and service but was quite noisy in restaurant. We were fortunate to be seated outside on the terrace and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Best arancini and chicken parmigiana I’ve ever had.

We’ve dined at Fresco many times. This last time I had the lasagna and it was excellent. My wife had the salmon and it was very good. We had a table by the window so we could watch people go by and see the sunset. Great service too.

Our server Warren is good, we’ve had him before. But the service is slow - takes FOREVER to get drinks from the bar. Then you rush to put your order in cuz it could take a really long time from the kitchen. Dessert was not good. Dinner is usually good - sometimes they lack consistency.

Destiny was a great server and the food was as good as we remembered from our previous visit last year. Nice outside dining, a view of the ocean if you get the right table. The risotto was great - I wasn't event that hungry, and there was nothing left of my wife's chicken parm. Reservations are a good idea though the place wasn't packed on a Sunday night. Maybe too hot in California but coming from Texas the temperature wasn't anissue.

Food was delicious. I had pepperoni pizza with hot honey!!! Omg! So good. Salad with fennel was also delicious. The only bummer was that my pizza came out waaaaay before my husbands meal so it was cold when I ate it. Waiter was nice and apologized

We’ve enjoyed this restaurant many times over the years and have always had terrific dining experiences. Last evening, although the service and food were exemplary, the ambiance and noise level inside the restaurant were horrible. It was exceptionally loud with several large parties seated near our table. The guests, who were celebrating birthdays and bridal showers, shrieked and screamed incessantly. We understand having a great time at dinner with friends, however it became a disappointing experience for our group of four to contend with. The acoustics of the indoor space do not lend itself favorably for conversation. If we return to the restaurant, we will insist on being seated on the outside patio.
