FRESCO CUCINA ITALIANA

Delicious pasta and salad. We will be back for more.

This restaurant was highly recommend by a few of my colleagues and it did NOT disappoint. Growing up in NY Italian was delicious and after moving to Florida it was hard to come by the authentic Italian. We were a party of 4 and started with a Margherita Pizza- everyone agreed it was amazing! We were told on the way in by some of the locals- preorder the tiramisu as they typically run out- so we too the suggestion and pre order the dessert. Our two servers shared that every was made in house, and recommend the pear pasta, mother in law loved it! I ordered a spicy bucatini dish that was fabulous father had the lasagna and sis in law chicken parm-everyone was satisfied! The dessert was delicious. The vibe is perfect and very warm, felt like family! The owner and the son who just moved back from the Amalfi coast both made a point to check on us! Says a lot when the owners are working alongside there team! Needless to say we will definitely be back!

Fresca will be opening in my town so we decided to try the original. What a wonderful surprise. Staff was friendly and attentive, The food was superb. And the selection was perfect. Coming from the northeast where Italian restaurants abound and after spending three weeks in Italy this was a great welcome home.

The best! Authentic food. The wait staff is quick, helpful and you can even hear a little italian spoken here. The bartenders are the best!

Let me start by saying food was good as always. However, when you make a reservation at for 6:30 and not seated til after 7 and they are seating people that are known to them first is not well received. Server was pleasant but took forever. I also noticed that others food leftovers was taken to be boxed to go. We were handed containers to do ourselves. Not that I can’t box my own but definitely different treatment. Do better!!!

the best Italian restaurant in the southeastern United States

The bolognese is amazing! Always the best pasta..

Make a reservation or get here early, gets crowded fast. Lasagna was delicious.

We liked the fresh baked bread the best. We had the lobster ravioli, mushroon risotto, and the pear pasta.

Best Italian in town. Food was excellent and service was great! Authentic just like Little Italy in NY.

La mejor comida italiana de Estados Unidos excelente comida la pasta y la pizza recomendado

We’ve been there 3 times and have throughly enjoyed it each time! The food is excellent, authentic & full of flavor & (NOT salt!) Wish we lived closer but it’s a must go when in the Orlando/Dr Phillips area! Our server Earsly was extremely attentive! Will be back for sure!!

Great food

This is a solid option that I can recommend if you’re in the area and looking for Italian food.

This place had no business being so good! The food was amazing, service was fantastic. I had the lasagna and was scraping the plate. Ughhh I can’t wait to come back!

We celebrated my dad’s 85th birthday here last night, and everything was wonderful! The restaurant was very clean, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious and fresh. It’s honestly hard to find a really good Italian restaurant, and this place exceeded our expectations. My dad was so happy they had gnocchi with pesto, one of his favorites. I had the pappardelle pasta with a creamy mushroom sauce, sausage, and caramelized red onions, and it was incredible. Every bite was full of flavor. For dessert, we enjoyed tiramisu, limoncello, and Nana’s torta at the table to celebrate the birthday, and everything was amazing. Such a perfect way to end a special evening. Thank you for helping make my dad’s birthday celebration so memorable. We will definitely be back!

Best Italian in town. Friendly staff and best service and food.

One of my favorite Italian meals is Lobster Ravioli. Lobster Ravioli is available here and an outstanding choice on a menu full of excellent choices... including pizza from a wood fired oven.

This is our go to for Italian dining. The only bummer is that they are closed on Sundays.

Absolutely fantastic!!! Outstanding food, outstanding service, outstanding atmosphere! 100% go there!
