The food was so delicious we started with the rosemary focaccia bread with the whipped butter then got the Caesar salad the rigatoni the gnocchi and the burger everything was unbelievably yummy... We all loved the whole experience and can't wait to go back .

Perfect evening with friends. We all had pasta dishes and they were amazing. In the past I've gotten only their fish dishes, but the price point for a night out with girlfriends was a little much. I was so happy to have tried the Rigatoni Vodka, we also ordered the Lasagna (amazing) and the chicken piccata. So much flavor. Service was also great. Overall a wonderful evening. Arrive early because parking is difficult.

Generally our experience was very good, but there was a large party of women celebrating something and they were very loud. We do not recommend going on a weekend night.

I've been to this place a couple times already, always loved their service and food. The upper deck is always my spot as it over looks the ocean, servers are always very nice and around if anything needed. Would definitely comeback when in Carlsbad.

Excellent on all counts- ambiance, service, and food. Our party of six enjoyed drinks, appetizers (Brussels and artichokes - both yummy) and various entrees. Each dish was expertly prepared. We also had dessert- tiramisu and cheese cake; both amazing. Highly recommend!
Stephanie
Great food and ambience however our table reservation was for 6 and the table was set up for only 5 which was fine since 2 were kids. Our food was extremely slow to our table and it took nearly 20min before anyone came to our table to take a drink order.

5 Stars — A Beautiful Italian Evening at 264 Fresco Our dinner at 264 Fresco was outstanding from start to finish. Luigi took such wonderful care of us—attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food and wine. The ambiance was elegant yet relaxed, with a perfect coastal breeze and a lively but not overwhelming atmosphere. We enjoyed a beautifully prepared meal featuring fresh, authentic Italian flavors, and the highlight was discovering it was half-price wine Wednesday! We selected a Toscano, which paired perfectly with our meal and made the evening feel even more special. A truly memorable dining experience. We'll be back soon—and definitely asking for Luigi!

Absolute perfect experience. But what made it super special was the service. Our waitress Sophia was the best!
Was looking for food with major flavor and was not disappointed. Luigi, our server, went above and beyond. Kind and courteous. Thank you for making these out of towners feel very welcome. Luigi and whole staff.
Highly recommend the scallop risotto wi with black truffles.

Summer time and lots of tourists in town. We are from another Southern California town but it was clear they were favoring locals and we got seated in the back facing parking lot. Even the valet guy warned us that we could only park there while eating there. Not welcoming.

264 Fresco in Carlsbad totally hit the spot. The food was seriously amazing every bite was so flavorful. The wine was solid too, super easy to sip and paired great with the meal.The tiramisu so light and creamy. Loved the chill beachy atmosphere perfect spot to unwind after a walk by the ocean. Definitely coming back!

Pricey but good food. Waiter was excellent. We are 70+ so noise is always a factor. We had reservations for 4 and showed up as 6 and they handled it well.

Amazing food and the service was superb! Luigi took great care of our table of 5 with 2 kiddos.
