Reviews of Fresco highlight delicious, fresh food with generous portions and attentive, welcoming service, creating experiences that range from a romantic dinner to a warm, family oriented atmosphere that feels more like a gathering than a formal event. On New Year's Eve the mood and prices felt reasonable compared with other venues, and staff managed the busy night well, though one note suggested the overall experience can vary from night to night. Dishes such as steak cooked to perfection and impressive lamb are praised, with calamari noted for good flavor but some wishing for more sauce, and the lettuce portion described as needing to be a bit more generous. Accessibility issues are mentioned for downstairs washrooms, and a few reviewers recommend improvements, while others call Fresco the best Italian restaurant in town and strongly recommend it. Overall, the consensus is that Fresco delivers solid value, good service, and satisfying meals, with impressions dependent on the occasion.
My team & I eat there decently often during our lunch break. Great place calm atmosphere, food is fantastic always ALLA ITALIAN traditional ! If ever you don't know what to choose they have some waiters there who have been there for years that know their menu inside & out (talking about Alex & Franco, you guys are fantastic!!!!) they have yet to recommend me anything bad ! Keep up the good work guys!
Very accommodating restaurant. We have been here several times before. Celebrated our friend's 60th birthday recently. We were a table of 12. The food & service was very good. One incident occurred which was strange & not right. Our meals "table d'hôte"(escargots, Linguini/1/2 lobster, & my husband took the penne arabiata & grilled sausages) came with a dessert. My husband & I decided not to eat our dessert (sort of a mille feuille cake), asked the waitress to brown bag it. Gave it to my friend to take home to her young daughter who likes this type of dessert & would appreciate it. When the bill came we were charged $5.50 extra for the dessert. I mentioned this to the waitress, she replied she had to charge us. I let it go, but this is not the first time I have had a problem with the bill. We all had an overall good experience & we would recommend this restaurant. Just verify your bill.
Hello SGBM, first off we would like to thank you for the kind words regarding our restaurant. We want all our customers to love our food and service as though they are family! Thank you again! Now, I am sorry about what happened with the dessert being charged. I can assure you that this was an error!! All desserts on the table d'hôte are included and free of charge. Whether you eat it at the table, or take it home. On your next visit, please ask for me, Robert, I will personally take care of you with a 15% discount on your bill. Again I apologize for this. Mistakes may or may not happen again, once made aware, I will make sure to rectify them immediately. Thank you and God Bless.
My friend & I enjoyed a wonderful evening at Fresco's. We had a
wonderful supper on the terrace, the food was exquisite & the
service was impeccable. Beautiful restaurant, clean, tastefully
decorated, & nice music in the background. The staff made us feel
like family & everything we tasted on the menu was delicious
including the White Sangria...will definitely be back & recommend it
to everyone i know...Good job guys...thank you! Mary & Gilda
Very authentic Italian restaurant located close to home (for those who live in the east end). Prices are extremely reasonable, the gnocchi are melt-in-your mouth, & the service is extremely friendly (Franco was our waiter & he made us feel like family). Would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants a quiet night out, or a night out with friends or family.
Fresco is that charming place in St-Leonard you're waiting to discover! Don't judge by the sign & location - this is a quality restaurant with a wonderful, relaxed atmosphere & the most charming staff. You're lucky if you get served by Franco, the charismatic waiter who by the end of the evening, made us feel as though we were family.
Great food, great staff, very decent prices & overall lovely experience.
*The calamari are fantastic & highly recommend the seafood soup!*
Experience fine dining from the comfort of your own home! They offer a variety of traditional Italian cuisine at a reasonable price & super quick delivery. Everything was impressive, from the friendly delivery man to the sides of bread. I tried the gnocchi with bolognese sauce, spinach tortellini & salad & everything was very tasty. When you don't feel like an eggroll or fast food will cut it, I recommend this taste of Italy at your service. My new favourite restaurant for delivery! Veramente buonissimo!

Amazing food, amazing wine, & the best service ever. Highly recommend! Fresco has just what the food lover in all of us wants; to leave deliciously satisfied!
I've been to Fresco many times. Enough said! I keep coming back because the food is perfect with modest portions & always impeccable service. The staff is always friendly. A perfect place for an intimate dinner or if you want to bring your family. Highly recommend it! My favourite dish is the Gnocchi Aurora. Mmmmmmm.
My wife & I have been dining at Fresco's for years now, & we have yet to be disappointed. The italian cuisine is superb...& the staff is professional & extremely friendly. They always know how to make you feel appreciated.
Last time we were there we had the Arugula pizza & the seafood linguini & they were both outstanding!
We highly recommend Fresco for a great & enjoyable experience.
Excellent restaurant avec authentique nourriture italienne! Réconfortant & prix abordable. La qualité des plats est constante. Je suggère le jarret d'agneau ou le linguini du pêcheur. Le service est impeccable! Je vous recommande fortement ce restaurant!
