Excellent as always. Loved the Sea Trout special. And tried one of the alcohol free cocktails and it was delicious.

The waitress was very friendly and attentive. I had the harvest salad with salmon and it was delicious and just the right portion.

Valentines specials this year were our favorite yet. The rib eye and red snapper were the best meals we have ever had at fresco and we have been coming here for years.

Laura

What a great space. Food was fresh made and flavorful. The dim sum menu is not to be missed. Accommodating for vegetarian and meat eaters in our family. The bar is on point. Try the makers mark sour- divine. Perfect place on a cold night. Warm, friendly!

Food is generally pretty good albeit a bit inconsistent. They have removed a few items that were excellent, notably the Pork Tonkatsu. Not much to draw us back in.

WOW! An amazing dinner. We started with espresso martini and Cosmo. Perfectly made. Szechuan shrimp app, pear salad with shrimp, Mongolian glazed short rib with risotto flavors were perfectly flavored. Dessert Eggroll Flight for two….. Cheesecake, Brownie Batter, Chef's Choice was so unique and creative. Staff very welcoming and personable from hostess, bartender and server Stephanie. We are looking forward to returning to Harrisburg and Cafe Fresco!

Dined at cafe fresco downtown Harrisburg to enjoy the restaurant week menu. Overall we had a good experience. The waitress was super sweet and the atmosphere was pleasant. Unfortunately the appetizer I was so looking forward to enjoying ran out. They did allow me to pick another item from the regular menu to accommodate me. The food was served nicely and portions were adequate. I would say the food was a little too salty and I would've appreciated it more had it been a little less so. Overall I would recommend and would return again sometime. I do appreciate the restaurant week price offering as overall dining out has gotten so price prohibitive.

The restaurant was very slow on a Thursday but the food and drinks were good. Tried the Bao buns and they were very good, tried the waygu sliders and they were good but needed a sauce. For the main course I had the Pork Tonkatsu with risotto which seems like an odd combo but wa the best thing I ate there.

Had a birthday dinner here and everything was absolutely fantastic - everyone in the party loved their food. Complex flavors and fresh, high quality ingredients. Our server was great and the drinks were top notch. Can't recommend enough, especially if you're looking for a place to share small plates.
