Storico Fresco Ristorante

Italian food at its most understated and delicious form! Service was impeccable ! We drive 115 miles to have lunch at Storico Fresco!

Our family loves Storico Fresco— and all of the restaurants in this group. Great food and lovely atmosphere, at a decent price point. Service is definitely slow, but maybe they're leaning into the European theme...

Sophia was great. She was attentive and made great menu recommendations. My husband had the branzino and I had the tagliatelle alla bolognese. My husband's fish wasn't cooked all the way after cutting into it, so Sophia took it away and placed an order for a new one right away. Sophia also brought a round of drinks during the wait of the new entree. Although not necessary, we appreciated the fine gesture. We understand these things happen and appreciate the restaurant working to make it right.

The food was outstanding. Everything is so fresh. I dream about the Mista salad with those Cipollini onions.

Our food was not warm when provided or anything special. I expected the food to be better based on recommendations from locals.

Fantastic place. Sat outside but covered. Food was delicious and the server was phenomenal! Highly reccommed!

Johnny was excellent. A bit of a delay with our final pasta but we didn’t mind as it was a perfect amount of time to digest. A busy kitchen and restaurant, everything came out flawlessly. Thank you!!

Tyler made this experience for us, he is an absolute gem of a server. I will come back just to see him (maybe buy him a drink ;)) The ambience and atmosphere here is incredible, but not the same without Tyler; you could say he’s the life of the party. Tyler walks in and the restaurant lights up, Tyler radiates happiness. There’s a noticeable attitude change in the servers, managers, and kitchen staff. It’s night and day. The way he exuded sheer indifference when I asked for a recommendation in entrees. A true master of his craft.

Ordered Branzino via uber eats. The portion was a bit small and the fish was overcooked. I might try it again but I would go in-person and order something else.

All were top notch. But the bartender who made one of the best drinks I have had in years deserves a social mention.

Awesome place to hang out on a Thursday afternoon celebrating a friend's birthday. Authentic homemade italian food, hard to find wines.

Storico Fresco left us unsatisfied. Avoid wasting money on this restaurant.

We expected a warm, fluffy focaccia, but we received an over baked, crunchy, flat, heavily salted disappointment instead. We both agreed that it tasted like a saltine cracker. The other appetizers are pricey, and I highly doubt that they're worth trying if they couldn't get our bread right.
The cacio e pepe wasn't good. the pasta was undercooked, cold, and overly salty. The lasagna was visibly burnt and inedible. We sent the lasagna back and ordered the rigatoni with vodka sauce instead, but it was also VERY salty.
The Rosmarino Sour was a great well balanced cocktail. I believe that's the only thing we truly enjoyed.

I think it's also important that I mention when I booked this reservation I noted twice that this dinner was supposed to be a birthday celebration for my friend and nobody ever acknowledged her or offered dessert or anything.
I definitely do not recommend coming here for any celebrations because they don't seem to care about things like that.
Although we left hungry and disappointed, we paid for our overpriced dinner. Despite this restaurant having positive reviews, we had a bad experience, and I don't think we have a good reason to revisit Atlanta just has much better Italian restaurants to offer than Storico Fresco located in Buckhead. I really hope that they make some improvements to the food they serve their paying customers.

You must ask for Tyler! I can’t say enough good things about him. He made our meal a superb experience. I left a generous tip (because he honestly deserves a raise). From the wine recommendation to the warm and positive energy, the service was beyond exceptional!! Truly made girl’s night! I highly recommend the risotto starter as well as the rebola if you’re a sauvignon blanc seeker like myself. Also loved the option to have a kitchen seated view or a traditional experience in the main dining area. Already excited to return when I have a craving for Italian cuisine done right!
