What a disappointment!! Lovely place with great food,BUT- our waiter forgot to order our pasta sides in the kitchen. We ordered pasta carefully because nothing comes with the main course. He said it would take at least ten minutes for the damn pastaand we were already into our mains assuming the pasta sides would arrive momentarily. We didn’t want cold main courses or pasta for dessert. What would you do? It really ruined this expensive meal.

Ill Fresco has it all going for it. Great ambience, great service and really good food. My shrimp parm was as good as I can remember ever having it. My wife's homemade pasta with chicken was delicious. This will earn a coveted spot on our dining rotation.

Came here for first time while visiting nearby college. Amazing food, service and ambiance. Will definitely come back if ever in the area again. This is a great spot I highly recommend it!!

My favorite restaurant in the area. Great food, always good. Great service. Wonderful atmosphere. Only down side is the Gelato (vanilla is fine). Gelato overall is not good. Very grainy. Weird taste. But everything else is fantastic!!!Parking: Park in the hotel lot across the street as on site parking is very tight and limited
I love this restaurant! The food and drinks were delicious, nicely decorated, lighting was dim, cozy dining room, attentive staff. Parking lot is tight! Having to walk around a blind turn to get to the entrance at night is a little nerve racking, thankfully no one was driving in at that point. Overall experience was 5 stars!

Grazie di tutto!
Twice, recently, I dined at I'l Fresco with friends and family members;
The words they used to describe Il Fresco were:
-Fabulous - dinner was scrumptious
-Phenomenal restaurant and staff
-Tastiest sauce in the world - delicious hot bread out of the oven.
-An Exceptional dining experience.
-Amazing homemade tiramisu - wonderful desserts
-Best meal ever - better than the meals I had while visiting Sorrento, Italy.
From my cousin who went back to Belfast, Northern Ireland:
I am keen to get back to visit again and hopefully we can visit the fantastic restaurant again, can't remember the name otherwise it would be getting a 5 star from me.
Frank, Henry, Marissimo, and the entire staff always go the extra mile to provide "5" plus Star service. Thank you also - to the wonderful chef and staff behind the scenes.
Thanks for everything!
Kindest wishes,
Colleen

I am basing this food review on a recent encounter ordering gift certificates. We used to attend this Italian restaurant years ago before the threat of Covid. My parents are both over eighty. The wine cellar downstairs was fabulous. I've always admired the top-notch cuisine, the elegant ambiance, and the affordable cost. Thanks Il Fresco. More new customers should discover this eatery.

the food is always great, I have tried many Italian restaurants in NYC and IL fresco is my favorite, the taste of the food and knowing the food is cooked order by order. and Chef Andrew, a great chef.
