Fresco By Scotto - New York

We visit New York almost every year. Serendipity (and a thunderstorm) led us to Fresco on 52nd St. tonight. It was the best overall experience in a restaurant we can recall. Three things made it special: 1.The manager let us in even though they didn?topen for another hour. We chatted and the manager and every other staff member that engaged with us over the entire evening wasamazingly gracious and engaging. We were like family in the course of a few hours. The DJ a even played our favorite tune?You're still the one.? 2. The environment was awesome. We were on a platform on 52nd (outdoor seating) yet felt we were in agrove or garden of lemons trees?sure the bike lane was between us and the indoor restaurant but it was charming. Bikes went byevery so often safely. The platform was a beautiful setting. 3. The food was terrific. Fresco is a great place for Italian food,but their specials jazz things up a notch or two really well. So all in all it was a?10.? Almost any restaurant can prepare agood meal if they are serious about food. However it takes preparing a great restaurant culture to make a wonderful experience?thank you Scotto family and the staff that makes Fresco so wonderful. We?ll be back.

This restaurant was quaint, quiet, and the staff was very attentive. There was inside and outside seating areas. I ordered grilled Caesar salad and Soft shell Crab Diavolo. The food was delicious. There is a good selection of wines and cocktails tochoose from also.

My granddaughter and I could not have been more pleased. The meal was more than we could have wished for and the hospitality and service were top notch!

We visited from Arizona and had a wonderful dinner before going to see the Rockettes. We love the food and the ambience. The wine list was great. The music made us all very happy that I wanted to get up and dance ! . I would highly recommend Fresco by Make a reservation and you won’t be disappointed ..

Everything at Fresco from the ambience to the food to the service is outstanding! The staff is very friendly, attentive, and helpful, and the atmosphere is upbeat and nicely decorated with festive and seasonal decor. Plus, the food and drinks are some of the best I’ve ever had, especially Mama Scotto’s meatball! Thanks for a wonderful experience. I’m looking forward to coming back very soon!
