Amazing experience with my family. Very friendly to a younger, vibrant crowd while honoring the Italian heritage. The waitstaff was attentive and professional. The food was absolutely wonderful and perfectly crafted from kitchen to fork. We had the bruschetta, Brussels sprouts and calamari to start. All were so delicious! Don't fill up on appetizers because there is so much more to enjoy. The following course consisted of Salmon, spaghetti pomodoro, meatballs, and spaghetti carbonara. Needless to say. everything was exceptional!

Food was excellent-service was good when we first arrived but as they got busier we were no longer a priority

Put 5 people at a small round table for 4, and it wasn't busy. Lots of empty tables. Food was tasty, but 3 of the orders were so small it was almost like an appetizer portion. We've eaten here many times, but they seem to have taken advantage of the Easter holiday with their menu. Certainly not worth the money considering the portion size. This time was very disappointing.

The Hostess was cordial and accommodating. The waiter was pleasant and helpful. The food was delicious. We topped it off with raspberry cheesecake and tiramisu for dessert. Highly recommend it!

Overall, we enjoyed our dinner at Fresco 264, but there were definitely some issues. First, I ordered a pizza and it came relatively quickly, but the other two in my party didn't get their order until more than twenty minutes later. Also, my adult granddaughter ordered chicken Marsala, and the chicken was definitely spoiled. She noticed it and I took a taste and it was sour and bitter tasting. They took it back and brought us back a replacement. Our server tried hard to deal with the issues and was very nice. He gave us a free drink and I think he discounted the chicken order. I appreciated his effort. And he had a good attitude about it all. The service is definitely better than it was a few years ago, and the effort to fix issues was noticeable. Except for the issues noted, the food was great, the service was good and the vibe was hopping there!

La comida muy buena, la pasta al dente y el Servicio espectacular. Si regreso a Carlsbad por supuesto que regreso a comer o cenar.

Outstanding service and absolutely delicious food! The chicken marsala was the best I've had, and the pizza simply out of this world!
As a walk up the menu looked great. Upon being seated they sat us at the only DIRTY table with half full glasses of water and used plates from the previous people. We ordered the focaccia, flavor was good but way too oily. And our entree’s came out before we were even finished with our bread. Total time from sit down to order to being served was less than 10min. That was a bit concerning with how busy they were making me wonder was it really fresh? My pasta was undercooked and not seasoned very well and my husbands gnocchi was THICK and a mix of overcooked chewy and doughy at the same time and the sauce was flavorless. Living in the area for so many years we were excited to try it and it was a big let down sadly :/
Wheelchair accessibility: Plenty of outdoor seating in their makeshift parking lot add on which people along the street just like to meander along through as you dine.

Itt was extremely loud inside so we were optimistic to be seated at a cozy bench with tables and a small fire pit out. Unfortunately, this meant that were we're forgotten. Our Server Michael never came by to check on us. We ordered dressing on the side which Michael never bought us, so we had to get it from the Manager. We were charged $3.00 for this also.
The food was great. I had the gluten free pasta and it was really good. Greta atmosphere!

I have eaten here before and think that my previous experience was so much better. These two experiences were about 1 month apart. I ordered risotto rice with my scallops and it was 1) not arborio rice and 2) if it were or wasn't it wasn't cooked all the way. Half of it was only partially cooked. Another person in our party had a cold dish, and my husband's gnocchi was weirdly proportioned. Barely any gnocchi in the dish, like 8 pieces to a ton of meat? Gnocchi is cheap as heck to make-potatoes and flour. I don't understand how you can justify putting out dishes at those prices and not nail execution, quality and appropriate portioning. Also there was a large wedding party there at the same time who seemed to get preference. We waited the better part of an hour for entrees and we didn't order an appetizer so service was very slow.
