I highy recommend this restaurant. From the start, we first go in the girls at the front were so friendly so much so that I felt as if I knew them for years. Very nice. The food, we had the meatball, which was huge and it was fantastic! We also had some pasta bolognese which was also fantasic. Plus we had the pizza and it was just perfect. I can't say anything wrong. The atosphere, the serice all feels like family. We are waiting to go back in a couple of months. This place is not cheap but its all worth IT!

Been here a few times now and can say this is by far the best Italian restaurant the meatball is a must! The frito misto a must! And the burrata was delicious a must! I recommend the pasta dish as fresh and delicious sad couldn’t make it to dessert but will be back for Valentine’s Day Rosanna Scotto was there and didn’t get a chance to meet her but she was welcoming the guests at the bar and makes the night even more memorable will be back for Valentine’s Day!

Quite possibly the worst meal I have ever had. Not sure why there are good reviews. I heard snippets from other tables. Like. What is this. And. Why is this place so expensive and so bad? Staff rolled eyes. What a horrible Italian place. There’s so much better in nyc and it’s not overpriced. What a horrible meal.

I discovered Fresco by Scotto about 3 years ago from a friend who owns a restaurant in Manhattan. The food was absolutely delicious, that it became a business meeting place from time to time. We started to do our Christmas parties here about 2 years ago. Never a problem except for last night. Of all dishes to mess up, it was my boss's dish. He ordered Chicken Scarpariello peppers, onions, spicy chicken sausage. There was literally one piece of sausage on the side dish. He complained and they brought him another side dish with again one piece of sausage. He then again asked why there was no sausage in a chicken sausage dish. He was then given ANOTHER side dish with more sausage but the sausage was ice cold. I felt it and it was. He had to insist on taking the dish off the bill. We didn't want extra desserts at that point. I was very disappointed. For some reason the food was off last night.

Excellent in every way. Welcome, bar, drinks service, menu, food presentation, food quality, food taste, dessert, coffee wait staff and coat check.
I adored seeing the beautiful Scotto entire family for years on the Today show…highlight for many years!! They felt like family of sorts via television back in the day. Warmed my heart. Years ago we came to this restaurant and loved it. We returned last night for a special dinner of 6. I chose it bcz I knew we would have great food and we did, we had apps which were fabulous. However, I was mortified. There was a DJ playing extremely loud music that’s not dinner appropriate to say the least. I did ask they play some dinner appropriate music but that’s not the scene here. People were waving napkins as they did conga lines through the restaurant weaving thru tables. I felt like I was attending a cheap wedding or at a nightclub. Listen I love to dance and I love music but again this was like a horrible wedding or a club let loose!! I expect this from a restaurant trying a gimmick to attract business when they can’t rely on their food. The Scotto family knows food!! They are truly Italian as are we. I did speak with the GM there whom was a perfect gentleman and did suggest we return when it’s not a Friday or Saturday night. Unfortunately we dine out on Friday & Saturday nights so instead of wonderful memories of the great Scotto family, I’m stuck with a terrible memory of this disaster eve and embarrassed we brought our friends here. Ps. We left before ordering entrees and went to Il Mulino and had fabulous food & service there and are off to La Boheme today -always love NYC.

While our dinner experience was pleasant overall, I was quite disappointed that during my wife’s birthday celebration, the staff did not come to sing for her as we had requested in our reservation. Only our waiter brought a candle, while we watched nearby tables receive full birthday celebrations with music and enthusiasm. It was disheartening and made the moment feel less special than we had hoped for.
