    What a delicious meal at the West Warwick Fresco! We had to make a reservation online, and got there a few minutes early, which wasn't a problem. Soon after we ordered, it did get busy. I started with an Apple Sangria. No appetizer, but the bread and dipping oil were plenty for us to get started. Delicious! I ordered chicken piccata, which came with mash potatoes and vegetable of the day, which was green beans. However, I really wanted to try their sauce, so instead I had a side of pasta. Glad I made the switch. Sauce was delicious, but a bit chunky, which I like. The chicken cut like butter and was delicious! My husband had chicken Marsala, with the mash and the beans, and he said it was all very, very good. There is a patio in the summer. There is a small parking lot, and on street parking in the small neighborhood side street. We are definitely looking forward to eating here again, and soon! There are also locations in East Greenwich, Cranston and Smithfield.

    Chicken special
    Arthur S.

    I've never had a bad meal at Fresco. They have several wines on the tap system at a decent price. The chef makes up his own specials each night and they are fantastic. The Veal Piccata was excellent. There are two small pieces of veal served with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The sauce was perfectly balanced and the flavors were amazing. A' The lamb shank special was cooked perfectly and the red wine demi glaze was the perfect match for the dish served over mashed potatoes. It was very filling and flavorful. $35 A+ The chicken special with had a sherry sauce on it with fresh cheese and prosciutto. This dish was great as well, perfectly balanced. A+

    Great restaurant and fun bar. Food is always good and drinks are delicious. Easy place to relax and unwind after a long week. Friday night specials are always good and so plentiful you can split a salad and entree! Bartenders are great as well!

    Chicken Milanese
    Patricia M.

    Got there at dinner time to a packed house!! Beautiful outside seating area as well. Seated in the back room. It was beautifully decorated and quiet. Had a great waitress named Mikayla. Very knowledgeable of the menu and even talked about the special "Fuel Cell" Bourbon that was made special at the Makers Mark Distillery! Of course we had to try! Ordered the black angus bruschetta, Arancini balls and also the homemade meatballs for an app! All delish. The red sauce taste almost like Nonni's!! For dinner we had the Short rib and the chicken milanaise. Cutlets were cooked perfect! Dessert was of course the best!! Cheesecake was good but the best thing ever was the blueberry lemon mascarpone cake! So good we forgot to get a picture!! We'll absolutely be back! Can't not wait to try more dishes!!

    House made ricotta gnocchi is soft and tasty.

    Out of state guests arrived late in the day and we were able to get a dinner reservation at Fresco's just a couple of hours before they arrived. We were very glad they had room and wow did that choice turn out great. We have been telling ourselves to try this place literally since we saw them setting up shop and we definitely should have tried harder to get there. The set up is the same as the previous business with less knick-knacks taking up visual space. Nice and serene. The wait staff are well trained; professional without being stuffy. Our waitress had a good sense of humor and was knowledgeable about food and beverage. We started with a variety of adult beverages. The glass of wine I received was 'corky' and although I hesitate to make a fuss, I was really looking forward to this wine and it just needed to be 'right'! I asked her for a new glass from a new bottle, and she very happily took it back and brought me another. Yes! That is what I was expecting. So much better and it was so well orchestrated by our waitress. Ahhh, stress relieved. The fun night continues. The entrée portions here are ginormous. The menu is similar to the one's we encountered in our Italian travels with each of the courses laid out, which was very nice to see. We all went straight to the entree's and they were all delicious! The 'tossed lasagna' is an interesting looking dish. It has all the components of a traditional lasagna, just a bit more, well, 'tossed' looking. My SO enjoyed this dish. The House made ricotta gnocchi was amazing from first taste! The gnocchi is soft and so flavorful. The sauce did not overpower the dish. The cheese was a nice accompaniment. All together a very nice dish. I also ordered a side of sautéed spinach. I really enjoy this dish as a general rule; it's on almost every menu in Italy we've been to (and that's a lot) and it was definitely well prepared here. Simple, quality ingredients make a quality dish. So glad I ordered that as a side. I ate all the spinach, but you could easily share it with one or more in your party. All together a very good experience. The staff worked very well together and we felt well cared for, the food was delicious and we brought home enough left overs for two more meals each plus a bottle of olive oil. If you haven't tried Fresco's you may want to add it to your list.

    Sunday night pasta special
    Daniel Y.

    Dined at this location a few times in the past and we was able to get a reservation on Yelp for Sunday night and both the service and meal was great. Started with the fried calamari with the marinara sauce on the side. Calamari was prepared close to perfection, crispy and tender. Wife had the Tuna Tartar Tower which is 1 of her usual choices. I opted for the pasta special of the night Which was a fra diablo w/ chopped clams, little necks, broccoli rabe, and a piece of panko encrusted cod on top of tagliatelle pasta. That was a great choice I really enjoyed the dish. This restaurant offers a great meal at a very reasonable price. We will definitely be dining here again in the future.

    Chicken special with risotto
    Craig L.

    What an amazing meal. We started with the prosciutto pizza which is awesome, and the arancini which was good. Then the chicken special with risotto for my meal and wow. It was damn near perfect. If you go get this.

    Ricotta Gnocchi (Housemade)
    Taylor P.

    I had an amazing experience eating dinner here tonight. It is one of my new favorites. The drinks, ambiance, service, and food was amazing. Everything was well priced for a fancier restaurant. We dined around six and it was quiet on a Friday night. I ordered the ricotta gnocchi which was amazing, and my boyfriend ordered the special of the day surf and turf, which had the most amazing fried potato I have ever eaten in my life. Will be dining here again.

    Ceasar's Caesar Salad
    Michelle P.

    Always a treat having dinner at Fresco. Monday's dinner for two specials are unbeatable and value for money. Try to save some room for desserts. Everyone is attentive and accommodating. The place is clean and relaxing.

Bartender seating people had a terrible attitude. Talked to patrons like they were children. Ordered a lemon meringue martini. Thought it tasted an awful lot like pineapple. Bartender asked me if it was "ok". I just said yes because I didn't feel like complaining. Afterwards, I heard her telling somebody at the bar that she forgot to put lemon in it. She forgot to put lemon in the lemon meringue martini. Must be why it tasted like pineapple. We ordered stuffy's, which took forever to come out as we watch everybody else that came after us get their appetizers. Probably waited a half hour to even put our order and we had to repeatedly ask staff for everything because nobody would come over to the table. I got fish and chips. My husband got a veal Parm sandwich. The food was good, but the tartar sauce tasted oddly like nutmeg or cinnamon. Sat waited and waited and waited. Finally asked for our bill only to get someone else's bill and have to go back up to ask for our bill. I guess the locals must like this place but we did not... definitely a one and done for us.

Additionally, they are also very accommodating towards allergies and gluten sensitivities. My husband loves a great chicken parm and veal parm, but since going gluten-free has had a real hard time finding a decent one. Luckily, this restaurant has nailed the perfect recipe! We also enjoy their Caesar salad. The croutons are tiny yet tasty, and the crisp Romain lettuce and fresh Parmesan cheese along with the zesty Caesar dressing deliver an incredible combination of delightful flavor and crisp texture in every bite. I have eaten several dishes here but my favorites are their Chicken Francese and lemon chicken risotto. My husband also loves their Chicken Christine, If you enjoy getting to know the staff at a restaurant, then sit at the bar and meet Ava. Not only does she make a great dirty martini but she is also well-versed with the menu and clearly takes pride in serving her customers. She is the face of Pat's Italian for us, and we absolutely adore her. Although the acoustics are a bit loud, it is easy to have a conversation with those at your table. If anything, it helps create a lively atmosphere.
