   Atmosphere is very loud. Second time we ordered a special and were disappointed. The first time was a stuffed veal chop and it was deep fried. Overpriced and unappealing. Last night the rib eye special came out only slightly warm and was so fatty. Again overpriced and not a good meal. If we go back we will not order a chef's special and stick to only the basic menu. To top it off the waitress forgot one of the appetizers we ordered.

   Love their risotto and peas with chicken. I’ve been there many times and all their dishes are delicious. I had a Cosmo which was delicious but in a small martini glass, no sidecar.. $14 is a little overpriced. $11 is more reasonable for that size glass

   Food was good. Service was good. A bit nosey in the dinning room...prefer to sit at the bar. Sat at the table near the kitchen and every time the wait staff came rushing by in all directions, it created a very cold breeze. Try not to sit there!

    Usually the service is pretty good. But tonight our group felt rushed and was served by a robot on speed. Who brings your drinks, appetizers and salad all at the same time WTF. My daughters were very upset. Had to tell the waitress to actually bring the salads back. Guess we will not be going back there again there are so many better restaurants with tremendous servers than Fresco.
