After walking around and trying to find a place to eat, we remembered hearing about this restaurant from the today show and thought we would try it. We waited, and waited, and waited. They had said it wouldn't be long when we first put our names in, but after seeing every person who walked in after us, get sat right... more

Had dinner at Fresco by Scotto on 3-22-08 at 5pm. There were many empty tables at that time so I expected to have a leisurely meal but was I ever wrong!! The minute my guest and I were seated the wait staff began their assault on our table. First it was their attempt to SELL bottled water over the free... more

It seems bizarre or maybe we weren't looking hard enough but we just couldn't find a decent looking place nearby. After a few minutes walk we arrived at Frescos to a queue... more

Yet another restaurant in the country I was anxious to visit based on television hype, and another disappointment. My son and I were seated quickly, drink order taken and delivered, then appetizer delivered. Then the staff seemed to forget about us as they prepared the 3 tables around us for 3 separate parties of 14, 9 & 7. Our drinks... more

Our family of 5 ate at Fresco earlier this week. We were looking for an authentic Italian restaurant fairly close to our 52nd street hotel and it seemed to fit the bill. Our party was comprised of three adults and two teenagers who were on holiday in the city. The place was packed and we seemed to be the only... more

My mother decided we should eat here after seeing the Scotto's on one of the morning shows. We made reservations for Saturday night at 7. We actually arrived a bit before 7 and were seated upon arrival. The restaurant was not too full and we were seated at a neat table almost in the middle of the dining room. Our... more
