The sunset view was absolutely beautiful. Our waiter, Steve was very good. He made suggestions that were perfect for our group. The crab bruschetta special appetizer was loaded with crab and the 6 at the table had plenty to go back for seconds. Escargot was equally as delicious as were the oysters. I ordered the shrimp linguine with a vodka... More

We went May 9th for my sister's birthday. Our server was funny and explained all of the specials. He went out of his way to make sure every need was met. I had the filet of beef and it melted like butter in my mouth. Cooked just as I asked. My Husband had the lasagna and loved it. My sister... More

We decided upon Fresco's for my birthday dinner and were not disappointed. Dinner and service were both "spot on" and we had perfect seating by the window and a lovely sunset. I opted for the grilled calamari appetizer in a garlic cream sauce. It was wonderful. Two of us got the pasta special which had scallops and mussels in a... More

This restaurant is right on the harbor, with romantic views of the setting sun and a piano player. Our waiter was great. We had grilled calamari and a special crab/pancetta dish for appetizer. Both were outstanding. My husband had the cowboy steak which was HUGE and done perfectly. I had a pasta dish with crab...I asked them to leave out... More

Weekend piano player, otherwise excellent Italian music on the speakers, GREAT window seats to watch the beautiful sunset over the Bay. Top notch well priced wine list. Attentive, but unintrusive wait staff. Englishman named Mick is a hoot ! Oh yeah, the food is terrific ! Crab appetizer big enough for 4 but you should get two orders. Fresh seafood... More

This is a bland restaurant, food is bland, decor is bland and you expect Al Capone to walk in at anytime during your meal.

We bought a gift certificate from restaurant.com . Even though it clearly stated no expiration date, the waiter wouldn't take it. We even spoke to the owner Pino, who was incredibly rude to us. I can't believe he would turn away what would have been a 125 dollar check instead of honoring a 25 gift certificate that we already paid... More
