Unfortunately was not all impressed with the food or service when we visited this location. I did enjoy the Warwick location much better when I attended a holiday celebration dinner with my co-workers last year.

Went for the Monday night special which is a great value. It was very busy most likely due to the special. Service was horrible. Waited about an hour to get our salads. They need more people on Monday nights. Won't be going back. There are several restaurants offering similar deals (2salads, 2 entrees, bottle of wine) with much better service.
Really nice place with big portions and amazing drinks.

Great Monday night deal and the service is always above and beyond expectations. I highly recommend it even on other days besides Monday. I usually pick something off the special menu on the weekends.
My Fiancé and I have driven past Fresco hundreds of times and have never found the perfect time to stop in to try it out until recently, when we heard about the Monday Night Dinner for 2 Special! We feel that this is one of our favorite weekly specials in-terms of value and quality. The meal began with us getting a bottle of wine. We chose White (Pinot Grigio), we enjoyed the colorful bottle and easy-to-drink flavor. We both appreciated that the brand of wine they carry and use for this deal is a local brand, Gooseneck Vineyards. Support small businesses! Next up, the salads. However, before we get to the salads...we have to note our love of the Fresco bread!!!! I have tried many breads from many different restaurants in RI and I can confidently say this is a TOP 3 bread in the entire state of Rhode Island! Some may argue it is worth taking a trip to Fresco purely to enjoy the bread and oil. The crispy shell helped contain the hot fluffy interior. Served up with some oil and butter, how could you go wrong. (P.S. Bring your own crumb-scraper if you have worked in the service industry prior, the bread gets messy). Back to the deal, She picked the Caesar and I went with the other option, Mixed Baby Greens. Both of us were pleasantly supremely by the portion size of these personal appetizer salads. The other notable finding was the unique crouton presentation on the Caesar salad. The dressings were forgettable but who cares when the greens are healthy and plentiful. For the Entrees she had the Eggplant Parm, myself went with the Chicken Marsala. By this point we were already on our second basket of bread and quickly knew we would be leaving with delicious leftovers. I cannot express enough how impressive the high quality cooking paired with an above average serving size without being obnoxious is! Heading into the night I was skeptical, thinking our experience would be average. I couldn't have been proven more wrong!
Took 15min for waitress to come over. Same thing happened last 2x. Calamari is good. Ordered off dinner for 2 menu. Fiancee said eggplant wasn't good. I always get the bolognese. It was lacking. Not much meat in it. Seemed like they were running low so added regular sauce. Waitress is fake. Too friendly. And talked to us like we were 3yr Olds when handing Togo containers. It will be a long time before we go back.

Unfortunately, my experience at Fresco was marred by a serious incident involving an employee who stole a social security number. This action directly impacted a severely disabled child, affecting their benefits and well-being. As of today, the restaurant has not acknowledged this error. Transparency and accountability are crucial, and I hope Fresco takes appropriate action to rectify this situation.
Cannot speak as to the food, but I am not impressed that this company is allowing a worker to keep employment with them while using the social security number of a severely disabled child, which has cost that child's family their SNAP eligibility. The company is not willing to do their part to correct the situation by removing the employee, despite being aware of the situation. Not cool, guys. Not cool.
Great value on Mondays with their Monday night special dinner for 2 for $50. It includes 2 salads, 2 entrees, and a bottle of wine. I had the ceasar salad and salmon with jasmine rice and green beans. The food is always delicious, and the service is friendly and professional. I bring family and friends here quite often. There is free off-street parking.
Food was excellent. One of the best chicken Parmesan I've had. The pink vodka was very good. Service was excellent. Food came out reasonably fast. I'd highly recommend this location.
Lets start with No parking spots open at 6pm. Once seated at table the water cups had white linen fuzz coating the inside and lipstick on the rim. A new replacement was the same so we drank water with a bunch of fuzz and floating things. The bread is cut in 2 huge chunks...so we just pull off pieces? The waitress took forever to take drink order and had an attitude when i stated that our dirty martinis were missing the olives. the squash flowers were not great so after the attitude, dirty water and bland app we decided not to order a meal and will never return there again. Appears to be run by high school students who don't care (sorry i usually dont leave negative reviews this one is needed. )
