    Fresco is my favorite restaurant in NYC. When you eat at Fresco you eat with family. The Scottos are an amazing family who make everyone feel welcome. I missed this wonderful spot for so many months. It was great to be back. Food is superb, service attentive, restaurant is so accommodating outside or inside.
