My fiance and I had lunch here. The food was excellent. The owner was extremely nice and tentative. We will definitely be back to try their dinner menu.

I've eaten lunch at Fresco 3 times and it has always been a delight. The owner is incredibly friendly and happy to talk customers through the menu. I've had different items on the lunch menu every time I've visited and everything has always been fresh and flavorful. Not to mention, their prices are actually FANTASTIC for what you're getting. It seems everything is made in house or sourced from a local business and still I can enjoy a meal with a side and drink for less than $13. That's awesome value.

We always leave Fresco feeling satisfied but not bloated and feel good for supporting a friendly local business. I'm looking forward to trying their dinner menu someday.

I came here with my husband for a date night. This was our first time visiting. The host, whose name I don't remember, was so kind and offered a great explanation for what to expect. We started with the brushetta crostita, the vinegar oil dip was amazing with the very fresh tomato, my husband ordered the impossible mushroom and I had the chicken picatta with angel hair. Both entrees were were very fresh and delicious. The waitress was very attentive and very kind. Great atmosphere for a quiet lunch or dinner. 10/10 would recommend. Hope to try their lunch menu soon.

Wow, what an incredible place! The space is small but very cozy, reservations definitely recommended. There were three of us and we each got something different, and each of us were astonished at how good the food tasted. (We had the shrimp and pasta, the Italian sausage special, and the chicken piccata, all from the dinner menu.) Better than Enzo, very authentic, ranks up there with the food I had on visits to Italy itself.

The staff was also incredibly kind and attentive. If you haven't been here yet you are sincerely missing out!

We just moved to LaPorte and have been exploring the downtown. We had a wonderful dinner at Fresco. My husband is gluten free and they have a variety of gluten-free options. My daughter had the kids spaghetti and it was simple but it had a wonderful homemade pasta sauce. I had one of the dinner specials which was Italian sausage in a red wine sauce. The chef was accommodating and modified one of the menu options to make it gluten-free for my husband.

Dietary restrictions: Susan the owner was very accommodating to my husband's dietary restrictions. She had homemade GF crackers as an alternative to the table bread. And she made sure that he had his own separate oil and vinegar.

One of my favorite places in LaPorte. Everything is made fresh. The fries are actual potatoes cut and made right there. The steak wrap is amazing.

In town for Volleyball tournament and was fortunate to have time to search for this gem. What a pleasant and lovely atmosphere, with owners intimately involved! Had the portobello panini, absolutely delightful! If we are in town again, we would definitely visit again.

Fantastic Italian food! This is what great food is all about!! Everything is made to order from scratch. Excellent ingredients. Great wine. Fantastic service. We need more places like this!!! I heard they moved here from New Buffalo; their loss is our gain! Check this place out!! If you don’t like this place, don’t bother leaving a review. You. Are. Wrong.

Ate dinner at Fresco tonight for the first time. The bruchetta was the best I have ever had. I had a special Mahi Mahi and my husband had the chicken alfredo. (Both phenominal) then for dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake. All the food was to die for. The prices were very reasonable and the service was fantastic. Tonight our server was the server, the hostess, worked the line, the busser, and ran the register. I was very impressed with how well she handled everyone. We were out on a date night and had zero care in the world to get out of there quickly. We will definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
