    Let me just say, the food was absolutely AMAZING and that would be an understatement. If you come here, which you should, you must ask for Adeline. She is an absolutely incredible waitress who is beyond friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable of the restaurant and all it serves. Adeline read off atleast 40 items to us that was truly impressive in the order in which she read them but also the knowledge of what each item came with. She was extremely friendly, and pverall a true asset to the establishment. God bless Adeline. I can confidently say one of the best, if not the best, servers I have ever had a chance to experience. Because of her and her energy and attitude the noght was that much more special. Absolutely fantastic evening, amazing food and incredible service. Will not think twice about revisiting Fresco and you shouldnt either!

    We were greeted warmly, even though the restaurant was quite busy. The food selections were mostly pizza and burgers and salads, but there were some plated lunches/dinners. We enjoyed talking with our friends during the meal. The food was well prepared.
