Cute little spot on the canal we were feeding geese and walking and stumbled upon the place. Atmosphere was inviting. I tried the tuna sandwich on baguette which was delicious. My husband had the turkey sandwich which was a great portion. Service was good the gentleman answered all questions and brought our food to the table. On the next visit going to try a flatbread pizza. 🍕 everyone should try this place 👍🎊
I'm obsessed with the Italian Beef sandwich here! I try at least once a month to walk the canal and have a sandwich. Follow it up with a scoop of REAL Italian lemon ice! Soooo good!
Relaxing table on the canal!

Fresco Italian Cafe on the Canal is a wonderful spot to dine, located along the canal where guests order at the counter and enjoy their meals on the lovely terrace. The Italian beef sandwich dip and gluten-free crust Flatbread are delicious, and the Flatbread pizza is a popular choice. The sandwiches are good, although a bit pricey, and the staff is super friendly, making it a welcoming place for families. The patio area has a dedicated section for dogs and ample outdoor seating beautifully situated along the canal, with shaded tables that provide comfort. Guests have enjoyed the soft breadsticks paired with sauce and the toasted ravioli, along with Gelato for dessert. The atmosphere is nice, and the scenery is beautiful, making it a great spot for kids with tasty options and a fun s'mores treat. Visitors look forward to returning to try the flatbreads and pizza on cooler days. The cafe offers amazing flatbreads with outstanding homemade tomato sauce, a delicious Tuscan Tuna Salad, and a popular "Spaghetti with Dad's Homemade Sauce" dish, all while providing a great view and a welcoming atmosphere.
