Relative Italian menu and a sophisticated environment. I had a dish with fettuccine and crawfish, my brother had classic spaghetti and meatballs. Pasta and breads are made in house so the focaccia was outstanding! If I was local this would be my go to Italian spot. Oh the bar is pretty cool too! read more

Overpriced & not good ambiance Restaurant was empty but we were seated right next to only other table with people, next to bar area, apparently to make it more convenient for wait staff/right next to kitchen/service area. Food tasted good though. read more

Love this place!!! We tried it last Friday and enjoyed it so much we brought our family back the next week to celebrate hubby's birthday! The food is freshly prepared with fresh ingredients, tasty, and attractively plated. Kattie is a great server who also makes great cocktails as the bartender! Tuna carpaccio was tasty. We had the peche pizza as an appetizer...delicious crust, fresh peaches, generous arugula and prosciutto. The salmon and the duck were outstanding! We also enjoyed the radiatori, the delicate pasta is made fresh on site. We love the miso honey sweet potatoes and the summer corn salad! The crab stuffed mushrooms were okay...flavor profile not as strong as I expected. The shrimp Vesuvius was tasty...the accompaniment was a little bland. The Grand Mariner creme brûlée was soooooo good! We had the Bruce chocolate cake and enjoyed that again. The decor is boho chic and a whole vibe! Really enjoyed it and can't wait to try out one of the curated dining experiences...they have wine dinners and mystery dinners, etc. read more

Truly a piece of culinary excellence. For the most part, our table stuck with appetizers, and somehow that alone delivered a full dining experience. Every single dish came out intentional, balanced, and full of flavor -- the kind of food that makes you slow down and appreciate each bite. Some highlights from our visit: Bread Basket -- warm focaccia with EVOO, balsamic, house dipping oil, and whipped ricotta (absolutely dangerous) Crab Stuffed Mushrooms -- rich, delicate, finished with a lemon butter drizzle Braciola -- parmesan breadcrumb filling, red sauce, served with focaccia Beet Carpaccio -- roasted beets, goat cheese, candied walnuts, arugula -- the perfect mix of sweet, earthy, and fresh Fried Tortellini -- cheese-filled with an nduja parmesan sauce that had serious depth Italian Spring Rolls -- pepperoni, sausage, mozzarella, peppers & onions -- unexpectedly incredible Even though we focused on starters, nothing felt small or secondary. Each plate stood on its own and showcased the kitchen's attention to detail and flavor. The drinks were immaculate -- balanced, smooth, and thoughtfully crafted. Yes, the plates looked like they came from Dollar Tree (no judgment, lol), but when the food is this good, that becomes part of the charm instead of a flaw. I'm already looking forward to going back. Fresca Trattoria is one of those places that reminds you why dining out can still be special. read more

Service was wonderful, wait staff was very friendly and patient with us. Food seemed to be hit or miss. Some of us thoroughly enjoyed our meals but some of us did not. read more

Dropped in for an impromptu treat. Service was awesome. If you want a quiet space to enjoy some Italian food come before 5:30. Enjoyed a bartender choice cocktail. First time ever having a cocktail with egg white. Wasn't bad. No idea what it was called. Parking- lots of it. At the corner of a shopping plaza. Food was tasty. Only negative was my king oyster mushroom meal. I will come back and try something else. They have brunch on the weekends with the bread from the basket. That I have to try read more

Hidden gem! The food is always fantastic. All the pasta is homemade. Rotating menu with some staple items. I almost never order red sauce and meatballs because I grew up with a mom who could cook Italian and I'm now discerning, but I get it everytime here. Service is always great. Comfy dining room with plenty of seating. read more

Incredible pizza, what a gem in the mountain park area! Homemade tomato sauce, absolutely delicious and I had the salmon lunch dish which was refreshingly flavorful and light. Worth the cost! read more

Came in for a mid day meal. Nice little restaurant setting in a small mall area of Lilburn....adjacent to Krogers. Lot's of parking available. pleasant chatty personnel to help with a wine selection as well as a decision on an entree choice. My meal was a gyro salad along with sharing a plate of stuffed mushrooms for a beginner course. The first uh-oh was the use of mushrooms that still had the stem in place; and the "stuffing" pressed on top....which got a bit messy and not as much stuffing as would have been if the stems had been twisted out and the hollow filled to overflow. The gyro salad was a good mix of greens. The sliced gyro didn't appear nor taste like it was carved from a gyro cone as there were no rotisserie char on the meat. Having said that, I knew that my love for a gyro salad is due to a local (Conyers) restaurant that I've been ordering each week to share with my wife. The peppers, Kalamata olives; ice cold greens were sorely missed, however the Tzatziki sauce was very good. The two stars reflects that we might be disappointed on a return visit although we do plan to come back one evening in the near future just to try out the dinner menu. Not to criticize, but the name, restaurant and bar and general layout is great....the kitchen needs to work on authenticity to go along with menu. read more

First, what was good. Service: Excellent! Couldn't ask for better. Ambience: Really nice. Now for what got 2 stars. Good taste? Bland is an understatement. The food had no taste at all. Looked good, but no flavor on both my wife and my dishes. Over 50 dollars for lunch?!?! And food quality this bad? As always, will I go back? Most likely no. When you spend that much for food that has no flavor, why bother. read more

We went in a large group service was good food was very disappointing. The restaurant itself is big enough for a large group with ease .

Very nice little Italian restaurant/wine bar tucked away in the corner of the shopping center. They had an ample amount of seating, a huge bar, and upstairs patio area. The service was on point and the server was very helpful. For appetizer, we shared the meatball and red sauce with the Gorgonzola salad and Italian spring rolls. We loved all three and tasted very pleasant. For the main entrees, we had the margarita pizza with pepperoni and shrimp and orzo. Both were very tasty. To finish up, we had the tiramisu and was fire ! We left full and happy! We will definitely be back for their wine tasting or pasta omakase. read more

Great place to eat some great Italian food, I loved their pasta so much. I recommend it so much.

Delicious! Outstanding. Great service. Beautiful venue! Loved it. Already been back and plan to as often as possible. read more

This place was amazing. We almost didn't try it because of a couple of low reviews. I'm a food snob and loved it. The salad was fresh. The pizza crust was perfect. The espresso and the lemon drop martini were delicious. I wish this place had been open when we lived in Stone Mountain. read more

I dined here on Saturday with my mom. Clean had a really good atmosphere. I had pizza with pepperoni and basil. It was very good. It tasted great. My mom had a focaccia sandwich with potatoes. She said it was very good. Our waitress was great. She took our time with us and provided us with everything we needed to make it a good meal. The ambience of the restaurant was really good very upscale looking. This was a special treat going here today with my mom. Great experience. We would go here again. read more

Enjoyed Sunday brunch here service was great and the food delicious. We had salmon Benedict, the apple pancakes, a Caesar salad and a pastry basket. All items were totally on point. Also had a hot chocolate, which was the best I've had in a long time. Can't wait to return for brunch, as multiple dinners in the past have been a little mediocre. (Overcooked duck and underwhelming focaccia as examples) read more

Pizza was really good. Service was on par with expectations. Pasta dishes were good size, even for lunch.

Just had a wonderful dinner and dessert at Fresca Trattoria in the Kroger shopping center at Rockbridge and Five Forks. They recently updated their menu to some summer offerings that were delicious! We highly recommend this place! Great ambiance, wonderful food! A real gem in Lilburn/Stone Mountain. read more

The service was excellent, the food however was sub par. We shared the cacio de pepe zepolli appetizer and it had a gummy texture that was not the cheese I had expected. For entrees we had the Linguini alle Vongole( clams) I was expecting the wine sauce to be more wine than chicken soup. It was very heavy on the pepper and the pasta was more al dente than I like. My dining companion said it was like chicken noodle soup with 6 clams, not worth the $33 price. The Lombardy pizza was delicious and was worth ordering. For dessert the Swiss roll cake with raspberry was awesome as well. Overall this restaurant needs some improvement and I am disappointed that it is not worth a second chance for me. I work too hard to spend $90-$100 for two people to eat and walk ou read more

So, when I first walked in, I could see the place wasn't as expected. From the outside, you would've thought it would be fancy but it was far from that. First of all, the manager was rude. Secondly, the food wasn't even good. I usually love Italian but the food here isn't worth it for the ridiculous price. And finally, the wait-time was far too long. I'm disappointed, because I wanted to eat here with my family for thanksgiving. We would've been better off just eating at home as a family. Never coming here again! read more

First time checking out this beautiful place. I went on a Sunday evening, about an hour or so before closing. Not many people were there. We ordered sun dried tomato bites and bread basket for apps, and the Lobster Campanella, ribeye with a side of pasta for main. The ribeye was seasoned and cooked well. The side of pasta with red sauce was delish. The lobster Campanelle was sooo delicious. It had a corn and chili oil and the lobster was succulent. the presentation could have been better. The focaccia bread came with a dipping oil and whipped ricotta and it was absolutely delicious. Hubby enjoyed the sun dried tomato bites, I didn't. Overall it was a great experience and I'll definitely be back to try other dishes. read more

We are so happy to have Fresca in Lilburn! This is an excellent restaurant for date night, special occasion, or just wanting a delicious meal. We shared the bread appetizer with oil, pizza, and sweet potato gnocchi. The chef owner came to our table and let us know about the upcoming Easter brunch as well as what meals my gluten free, nut free mother could eat. We're definitely coming back! read more

I would highly recommend this place for anyone searching for good eats in the area. I am vegetarian and my husband loves good meat, and he was very satisfied with the swordfish. Great place for veggie lovers too, like myself! My husband was also quite pleased with the Old Fashioned they made. This place is a gem in Stone Mountain! would come back again read more

First, they were out of clams, so that scratched a few items from the menu. Second, they had about 1/3 of a glass of wine (my MIL wanted) left in the bottle. The server told us there was this much left which is a fine amount for her. Did not expect to be charged for a full glass. Third, the lamb pasta dish was tasteless and the pasta was chewy and gummy. Others had pizza and said it was good. Definitely not worth the $250 for 5 of us. read more

I went here for Valentine's Day dinner @$75 per person for a 5 course meal. The service was slow but to be expected. We watched other patrons seated after us receive their food order before us. The location is nice but parking is limited. I chose the pork chop but sent it back because it was so overcooked that I couldn't eat it. They brought back the same plate with the same pork chop. Needless to say, they apologized and my meal was free. My guest had the swordfish which was tasty but served with something resembling couscous that had a weird texture. The dessert was fresh and different- raspberry mousse and a chocolate cup filled with fresh fruit and cream ganache (?). The staff was friendly. I won't be returning. read more

Fine dining right in our backyard... finally! I popped in the other day when I saw a new restaurant in the space. Fresca opened mid-December. I made reservations for New Year's Eve and felt their NYE menu would be a perfect opportunity to sample different things. The house salad was just amazing! I could eat that with some chicken for lunch and call it a day. For our pasta entree we both got the lobster tortelloni. The pasta is made fresh in the restaurant. They actually have a little space in front where they make the pasta for all to see. For our entrees, I got the petite filet with a marrow bone, and my partner got the shrimp stuffed with crab. Me being from New England and him from Baltimore, we're both picky about seafood. I tasted his shrimp and was like "Oh yeah! This is what shrimp is supposed to taste like!" It was very fresh. A good size, too. My filet was so amazing! It was our first time having bone marrow and he loved it! Looking forward to dining here again. Maybe brunch after church! read more

I catered a birthday party luncheon from Fresca yesterday. It was delivered by staff complete with chafing dishes, plates, cloth napkins, wine glasses. Everything was over the top good. My menu was: crab stuffed salmon on a bed of spinach, , Porkloin with apple stuffing, handmade pumpkin ravioli (WOW WOW WOW) with roasted root vegetables & light sauce, homemade bread basket, fresh greens with vegetables salad with homemade vinaigrette. I have NEVER had such a great meal. My guests were so impressed. I've been to NYC often and eaten all their stuff -- this is even better than that. read more

Holy Buckets! I'm so thrilled to have this absolute BANGER of a restaurant in the area. I'm nothing if not a foodie and the food at Fresca Trattoria is as good as anything in Atlanta. The focaccia is indescribably delicious- even as leftovers! I'm the kind of guy who will happily give 3 or 4 stars if anything is other than perfect, but they earned 5 stars with this one. What I look for in a nice restaurant is not only just good food, but something that is uniquely good. Every bite of every dish was spectacular in a new way. I literally cannot say enough good things about Chef Lisa's latest enterprise! I cannot wait to go back! read more
