We were there for 2 hours. Had to wait for everything. Very slow. Wait staff didn’t check on us more than 2 times. Note: they had the 700 club on the bar tv’s

My siblings hosted my bridal party this weekend with 25 guest at Frescos. The one serving our party (I believe her name is Maria) was amazing. She was so attentive towards all the guests. I really want to thank Maria and the Chef for being so helpful. The chef came to check up on us after it was all over. The little details is what makes good customer service. The food was amazing. It was buffet style. Overall the place was beautiful and spacious for our set up. I highly recommend to host a small gathering here. We had a great time.

I would not go here. The service was not up to par for a dine in restaurant, especially a restaurant charging $25-$30 a plate. The food took over 40 minutes to come out. The food was served and after that the waitress never came by to refill our water or drinks or ask how everything was. We had to flag someone else down to bring us our bill, I believe it was the hostess and she was sweet and refilled our empty glasses with water, even though we were done and ready to get our bill. The hostess brought our bill. Then after that we waited 10 minutes or so for our waitress or someone to come take the bill to run our credit card for payment. We ended up bringing our bill to the front desk ourselves and even that took a while to wait for someone. I do not recommend coming here! I believe in tipping waiters well but this is the first time ever EVER that we did not leave a tip. We tip for service and didn’t get that! Also the music was weird and semi depressing sounding. It was freezing in there as well.

The food here is incredible! I was coming out of town from Scottsdale, and we have great Mediterranean and Italian cuisine, but this has to one of the best places for Chicken Parm, which is one of my favorite dishes, despite what my doctor recommends,, but YOLO and all. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Lenny, and he is very hospitable and assure that each dish comes out to perfection. I also tried the firecracker shrimp, which was spicy and flavorful and mushrooms which come out piping hot with a savory baked cheese topping. If you are ever in the area, this is a must try for any foodie.

The ambiance at Fresco II is where the restaurant truly shines. Warm, soft lighting gives the space a welcoming feel, with comfortable seating that encourages lingering over a meal or cocktail. Combined with the live music that adds to the evening's energy without overwhelming the conversation. Drinks include The Shark Attack, Kissed by a Rose and the Peachy Keen. Appetizer was Mykonos meatballs (HIGHLY Recommend), with Eggplant parm and the cannoli for dessert. Chef's kiss.

I went out for dinner with my wife recently. The staff was super friendly, but the food was just okay. I'm glad I didn't order their overpriced steak, as it seeing how bland my chicken was resembling steamed chicken for a kebab. The rice was quite inauthentic and tasted like parboiled Uncle Ben’s rice, which was truly disappointing. My wife ordered the mushroom chicken with angel hair pasta, and while it was good, it was a bit heavy on the garlic.
We started with bruschetta for appetizers, which ended up being the most flavorful dish we ordered. The sangria was excellent, and I’ll give them that. Overall, it seemed like we might have come on a night when the chef wasn't really focused. I'm open to giving the place another try since it was our first visit.

Overall lovely vibe here. Restaurant has bar seating plus numerous seating options in general throughout. Clean restrooms, decent sized parking lot, great and friendly staff that was quick to seat us and quick to get our food.
4/5 because the pasta we got was very watery and not very tasty, had to put a lot of pepper on it to get some flavor to it. Meatballs were also pretty lacking in the flavor department. Would still come back however just to give it a second shot at redemption.

A/c was shut off in the bar area. Hotter than hell and not very comfortable
Wait staff are not the best. You have to ask them to serve you. We asked about bread and she said that will cost you. My food had pieces of shrimp shelled risotto was not cooked and hard. Told her and she said that’s how it is cooked. Do not recommend this restaurant do to the staff’s attitude and the food quality.

Fresco II used to be one of our favorite places to go eat, but for the past few times we've been there, they've gone a bit downhill, the food suddenly became too salty and not even edible... the last time we were there, my family could barely even eat some of the food with how disgustingly salty it was, even my fries I got with my burger I had there were a bit too salty as well, everything was like drenched in salt. The only thing keeping me from giving this place a 1 star is the desserts, which are amazing...but other then that, I'm pretty disappointed that we probably won't be coming back to this place with how bad our last experience was, I don't understand why all of a sudden it went from being super tasty and good, to it being not super great anymore, granted we haven't been here in a while but still...come on! Don't put a lot of salt on things! Common sense!

What a NIGHTMARE!!!
First, the service is AWFUL!!!! They are trying to save money by shorting the wait staff. There was only ONE server for the entire restaurant at 5pm. Didn’t get our order until 6:45. Left at 6:50 and there was still just the one server.
Second, and a complete travesty, is the actual food. My order immediately tasted like it was made yesterday and reheated in a microwave. But, if the taste wasn’t enough proof of that, I actually had a large chunk of tin foil in the sauce on my plate.
Ironically, as we were ordering I said “I don’t really want to eat here. I’m pretty sure the owners also own Raven’s Nest and that place is both way overpriced for what it is, and the food there isn’t that good either.
Finally, too many screens and some of them are broken. If you can’t afford to fix it or replace it, just take it down.
Save yourself the money, time, and hassle and find somewhere else to eat.
I feel bad for giving the server review 1 star, it’s not her fault she is here alone. So, this isn’t a reflection on her (why I am not naming her) but this place needs a serious overhaul or should just be put out of business.

Our team recently hosted a work gathering at Fresco II, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From start to finish, the owners were incredibly accommodating and professional—promptly answering every question and making sure we had exactly what we needed. The menu offerings were outstanding, with each dish bursting with flavor, and the service staff remained attentive throughout our event. Highly recommend Fresco II for any corporate or social gathering—we’ll definitely be back!
