Ordered Calamari and Veal Parmesan tonight to-go. One of if not the best Veal cutlets you will find in this state. The calamari was crispy on the outside and tender inside. Plus the added fried cherry peppers made it out of this world. Five stars to the kitchen staff and Audra. My new go-to spot. read more

We went there for the Monday dinner special. The table was on the small side but we worked it out. We were asked for beverages and appetizers as our water was poured. We didn't order any. Our server, Stacey (I think) was very knowledgeable about the specials and menu overall. I ordered the chicken marsala and my wife ordered the chicken parm. The dinner came with a choice of 2 salads, Cesar or garden, plus a bottle of house wine of white, Cabernet, or Merlot. I ordered the Merlot. We both got the garden salads with house dressing which was a vinaigrette and tasty. The meals came out and both of us were pleased with the choices. The Monday special had about 12 choices on it including pork, fish and chicken. I would go back and recommend it. read more

Absolutely favorite restaurant never had a bad meal. My husband and I even got engaged and had our rehearsal dinner with Fresco.

In the area at an interstate hotel my daughter and I found this place by chance and our whole evening improved. Great service, amazing home made food, great wine. Embarrassed we were in shorts and flip flops, this place is too nice for us!!! read more

Fresco - Italian Near Me - West Warwick, Rhode Island

Favorite local restaurant with great food and even better service. Everything is terrific from the burger to the chicken dishes, the seafood and they always offer creative, delicious specials. The cookie skillet and the blueberry cake are the perfect finishing touches. We love Fresco West Warwick and Audra is the best. read more

Food is simply delicious. 4 of us went Friday night for dinner. We all ordered a different dish and none were disappointed. I had the short rib dish and it was so good. I never had it prepared as a pasta dish but I will say I will order it again. Other meals were linguini in clam sauce with clams atop...awesome, then there was the scrod..cooked perfectly, my only suggestion on that dish is do something with the giant ball of rice..not sure where they were going with that...lastly the tuna dish which was awesome which came with a REAL WASABI by that I mean if you don't realize this isn't a cheap wasabi it will make your eyes pop out...good but sinus clearing spice...lol The dipping sauce for the bread is so damn good and the calamari appetizer with balsamic sauce should be made as a meal...yummy, yummy!!! read more

Audra is a great bartender, she's the reason everyone comes back. Food and drinks are always excellent! Ann & Gary read more

I live in EG and find their restaurant in West Warwick hands down the best! We usually sit at the bar, waitress was so friendly and attentive. The Manager, Bonnie is awesome! She greeted us and checked in during our meal. It was a breath of fresh air to have such great service. Highly recommend! read more

Such a great spot. We've been to the East Greenwich location a few times but we always love to come to this location. Perfect for when you can't decide exactly what you want. Great pasta selection, steaks, seafood, flatbread pizzas, chicken and eggplant parm. Homemade risotto is amazing. Even the deserts. Nightly specials too. Tonight I had grilled chicken with prosciutto, mozzarella, pesto, homemade mashed potatoes and fresh grilled vegetables. The staff is amazing. Our favorites waitress is Ashley. Not just because she is always super attentive and has a great personality, but her recommendations are always perfect. She knows everything about the menu and she (and the cooks) can custom tailor anything to your liking. So rare to find a restaurant these days that is so accommodating to individual tastes. And when we want to try something new Ashley never disappoints with a suggestion. Portions are excellent and the quality of food is as well. Everything is fresh. Drinks are great and if you sit at one of the high-tops in the bar area hopefully you get Cameron the bartender. He's also great for dinner suggestions but he's endlessly entertaining and makes perfect drinks. Make sure you make a reservation. Not a huge place and it's very popular. They have the table spacing done very well so it's spacious and comfortable. If you haven't been here yet check this place out! read more

Fresco - Italian Near Me - West Warwick, Rhode Island

Everything on the menu is unreal. The drinks, bread, apps, entrees, and dessert are all delicious. Even the salad is better than your typical salad. read more

Sadly the Monday 2 for $40 deal was a major letdown. The salads came with barely no dressing on them. The parm tasted like it had been microwaved (still steaming long into the meal and so soggy) and the risotto was over cooked. Three spoonfuls in and I couldn't eat another bite due to how gummy it was. The waitress did what she could but she looked be one of the few working so we missed out a good experience on that level, as well. We were quite surprised to see how they just wiped the stuff off the table (bread crumbs and food pieces) right onto the floor. We saw two lumps of red sauce linger on the main floor walkway and people ended up stepping on them. And with black floor runners, the bread crumbs all over them reminded me of the floors of a bar (or one of those places that serves unhusked peanuts). I think they should work up a system to at least try to catch the larger crumbs and not just have them fall to the floor. read more

Seriously not that good of a restaurant. We decided to try Fresco for Brunch today and we should of walked out when we walked in and the place was empty! The servers although attentive were not really warm and welcoming. After looking over the menu we decided on the Avocado Toast, Texas Toast, and a side of bacon. As empty as the restaurant was it took an unusually long time to get our food. The Avocado Toast was not seasoned very well and it seemed to be missing something as it was bland. The Texas Toast was over cooked to the point where the edges were burnt and eggs were dry. The home-fries were also over cooked with burnt pieces scattered throughout. The one highlight was the bacon as it was cooked perfectly. Expensive for the low quality food served. Do not recommend. read more

I would give them 4 stars for the ambience. They did a nice job updating it. The bartender was very nice too, but I was not impressed with the food. I cook for a business and I found lots of issues with the choices I picked. Maybe, they had a bad night, it happens. I ordered the Brussels sprouts. Less is more! The cheese wasn't needed, the balsamic was over reduced. Then, the "tossed lasagna". Bad idea! The noodles stuck together is layered of 3 making it very tough to eat. The sauce was so sweet, pure sugar. Bolognese needs to have salty and savory notes. The ricotta pie or cheesecake looked and tasted like store bought. It should be tender and fluffy, not dense. The menu choices are ok, but you need to fix the cooking skills in the back of the house. read more

Had my birthday dinner here. Katie was my server and she was fantastic! Super nice, attentive, but not pushy. Best server I have had in a long time. Food was great, large portions, reasonably priced for authentic italian food... everything was fantastic. Thank you Katie for an amazing first experience at Fresco and for making my sister and i's birthday special! read more

The smallest but the best. We've tried all of the Frescos and this is by far our favorite. Amazing staff

In my opinion, the food was terrible and way overpriced. The wait staff was rude towards me and they were clueless as to how to properly serve their customers that I saw. The place was wicked small. Felt very cramped. The seating was very uncomfortable. Their so called valet parking was a joke (and personally I think one of them dinged my car but never admitted it, because the small ding wasn't on my car before I went there that's for damn sure). I would never go back here again, especially where there are more reasonably priced restaurants (even in the local area) that have very respectful employees towards their customers (and certainly won't ding your car) all in my opinion. read more

They do an amazing job at this restaurant. I can't say enough about it. The chef, Alexis, is phenomenal. No matter what day you come, whether at night or for Sunday brunch (!!!!), ne nails it every time. Go! And tell the chef Meline sent you ;) read more

Service was ok. Food was good. Dinner for two was expensive....will be around $100.

Heard so much about Fresco's but very disappointed. First time there ... the gnocchi was too big and not very favorable. Taggattelle and short ribs was very fatty.. also "very expensive". Nice place & good service but one visit was enough. read more

Had a great dinner here. Was sat by the fire place (warm and cozy atmosphere). The food was great and service was awesome. Will return!!

We were so looking forward to trying Fresco's. Had reservations and we were placed at a table near the door allowing all the cold air to hit us every time it the door opened. We asked to be moved, we were told others have reservations, and with a little resistance they did tell us to grab our own waters and moved us. Mind you not another patron sat at that table after we moved!!! then the meal.. oh my god I ordered the fish with jasmine rice and fresh veggies.. the fish stunk so bad it's surprising that they even let it out of the kitchen!! Come on they couldn't smell that!! I am bumming!! such a let down!! Extremely disappointed!! The kicker is they didn't even blink an eye!! Never ever going and will spread the word as well!! read more

If I could give MORE stars, I would. The food is OUT OF THIS WORLD. The waitstaff is amazing, attentive, but not overly so. The pork chop and organic chicken are great, and they have a wonderful assortment of vegetables too. I've not sat at the bar yet, but the cocktails are awesome. And they have valet parking!!! read more

We went here last night. Went under the impression it should be decent place to eat. Was pleasantly surprised! Definitely the best calamari we have eaten in a long time. The main course I had Seafood Cavatelli, my wife had the eggplant and chicken parmigiana, it was fantastic. If you are in hurry, not the place to go, we were not. The server had us, a party of about 8 and two other parties come in the same time and all things considered she held her own for sure. Bar is a little slow getting your drinks out, but bar was full and so was the restaurant. Make a reservation in advance well worth it we walked in and sat right down. Parking is tough we used the valet parking We will be back for sure! read more

my husband and I went there for our 24th year anniversary we both got the Linguine and clam sauce, the menu had white clam sauce but I asked if they could do the red and our waitress Ashley said that they would do the red for us and it was AWESOME!, the little necks were cooked to perfection! and it plentiful! would go there again! also the calamari was really great too!! oh the bread and dipping sauce was really great too!! Definitely coming back! love the local restaurants Bill & Dawn B Scituate RI read more

Get the calamari! This place is great and you'll leave very satisfied, I haven't had anything I didn't like. I especially liked the calamari if you couldn't tell, because for once it's perfectly cooked; breading isn't falling off and soggy and still has a nice crunch to it. I've eaten inside and outside both were nice experiences. read more

I have been coming here for several years now and have always thought that fresco is one of the best restaurants I have been to. The staff is incredible. So friendly, so efficient, and just couldn't be a nicer atmosphere. The food is always excellent! Audra, Carol, Cameron, and the rest of the staff are the nicest people I have ever met. Five stars doesn't even do it justice. read more

What a perfect experience! Stopped in for the Monday night deal with my husband, very busy! We got a seat in the dinning room where Sarah our server greeted us- she was so knowledgeable about the menu and ways the food was prepared. She answered all the questions we had and although they were very busy, did it with ease and still made time to chat with us a little! I got the Pork Tenderloin and my husband enjoyed the Chicken Parm. WOW! Pork was so juicy and tender, we even had enough to take home for lunch the next day! Giant portions and excellent service! Will be back read more

This is my family's favorite restaurant. The friendly wait staff always makes us feel so welcomed. Your delicious food variety is always top shelf. I love your awesome chicken parm. Your sauce tastes like I am transported to Italy! Thank you for always making our dining experience so special! See you soon. Jazz Lady! read more

Last night was our fourth time there. Still everything was delicious. Tried the mixed grill cooked to perfection. Service was great,thanks Jamie! read more

Decided after passing through numerous times to stop in and try the place out. Biggest mistake ever. They don't know how to cook a steak, Period! Horrible and for the price, very disappointing. Not only was it tough, but how can you ruin a rare steak? I should've gone to Texas Roadhouse for less than half the price and a much better experience. Just thought I would support local business and still will, just not this place! read more

I dined here this evening and what a great treat to myself it was!!! I had wanted clams and sausage fra diavlo and even though it wasn't on the menu, Carlos the chef made it for me and it really was out of this world. The clams alone are to die for. I didn't care about the little belly I have going on, I ate the whole thing which is unusual since pasta can fill me up quick (the dish was served over linguine). Since I was dining alone, I sat at the bar and Audra was my server. She is the nicest lady and so fun to talk to. This is one restaurant I will go back to in a heartbeat. read more

What a great way to celebrate our anniversary! We have been to the East Greenwich Fresco and loved it. The West Warwick one is closer to home. The crusty Italian bread with olive oil/cheese dip was a great way to start our meal. Wine list was comprehensive and reasonable. We chose a lovely Tuscan red. We shared fried calamari with lemon garlic sauce for an appetizer. Excellent and well cooked. DH had seafood cavatelli that he is still raving about. I had grilled salmon with grill squash and risotto with peas. Having a chef son makes us fairly fussy about our food. Fresco met our expectations and went beyond. Our waitress was also the manager and she is phenomenal. Really knows her stuff and is professional and courteous. This will become our go to eatery since it's in our neighborhood. read more

We were a party of 4 on a Friday night. The atmosphere is cozy with interesting artwork on the walls. A beautiful stone fireplace adds warmth. I ordered the NY Strip steak which was grilled MR to perfection. The zucchini squash red bell pepper medley was firm and full of flavor. The mashed potatoes were a little salty for my liking. Our waitress was very pleasant and attentive. Overall a very enjoyable evening with friends enjoying a fantastic meal. Thank you Fresco.... we'll be back soon! read more

I always sit at the bar when I come here. I order drinks and split a meal or appetizers with my guest. The bartenders are efficient, give a good pour and don't pester you like other establishments in the area. The food is good. I plan to return later this week. read more

This is probably one of the best meals I've had I've always liked fresco we had calamari and that was so good fresh not chewy tender as can be the chicken parmesan was also delicious the staff was there to pick up the dirty plates right away the staff was there to make sure our drinks were always full and that we had when we needed . The restaurant it self was beautiful. This restaurant get 5 stars in every way possible read more

Tried the newest Fresco located on Cowesett Ave., West Warwick, and had a great night overall. It was raining and the valet was super quick and pleasant, we sat at the bar, friendly crowd, the bartender was super nice and quick to greet even though she was busy, totally on the ball. We always order a grilled Pizza when we go to the Fresco in East Greenwich; so we stared with one and it was the best one hands down; nice and thin, crispy and super flavorful. While enjoying our pizza the manager came over to welcomed and thanked us for coming; which was a refreshing experience. Also, asked us before leaving if we enjoyed everything. Our entry's were hot and delicious. We really like the neighborhood and bistro vibe. We will definitely recommend and go back! read more

Great meal. The seafood fra diablo was perfectly balanced. Short rib tagliatelle had eggplant and was not too heavy. Bread baked on premises was incredible read more

Best restaurant ever! Good food, great waitstaff and bartenders. Have never had a bad experience! Our best date night restaurant.

Perfect! Bread, crusty and wonderful; both the pork chop and pork loin perfectly cooked and deliciously seasoned; yummy green beans and mashed potatoes. Cheery, knowledgeable server answered all of our first-time diner questions. Alas, we were too full for dessert--next time-- read more

The food was delicious , we went to the one in West Warwick , great service definitely will be going back to try something else.
