Stopped here for supper on vacation and was the most pleaureable experience. Constantine was the best waiter we have ever had anywhere we have ever ate. I asked for a recommendation on a dinner entree between a meat or a pasta dish and he even switched up the main sauce to accommodate my meat preference to a seafood dish. Nailed the flavors!!! The 805 ipa was also tasty yet light. I give this place a 9.9 out of 10.
We had an excellent dinner on the patio. The service was great and so was the food. They have a wonderful wine list to choose from. Very friendly and courteous. Highly recommend it!
Oh yeah, if you are going to hang out in Carlsbad and want a classy place to eat and drink, go here. Recently remodeled with parking out back or on the street (valet parking available too). Walk down the street for an instant ocean view.
Love the open air approach this restaurant takes with plenty of heaters to take of the chill if necessary. Comfortable and light decor.
Italian themed and delicious! Very hard working wait staff and chefs! Our food was superb. Nice and varied wine and beer list plus a full bar for those so inclined.
Would recommend reservations in the evening but easy to get a lunch table. Definite "we will be back" restaurant.
Prices were very reasonable.
Love this place - local gem in Carlsbad! Food is fantastic - esp. the daily risotto and spaghetti/meatsauce dishes. Wine list very good for an Italian restaurant, happy hour excellent value! Best thing is the atmosphere and always accomodating service...my go to restaurant with family and friends!!
Food........Fantastic! The owner of this place is great. Cares for each and everyone of the customers that come through the door.
Have been going to Fresco restaurant for several years. Always pleased with our meals. The food is delicious! The staff is wonderful, friendly & hard working. The remodel turned out beautiful. Open & airy, and love the newly added patio that faces Carlsbad Village Dr.
Our personal favorite dishes are the Losbster Bisque soup, Linguine Mare Mosso, Ravioli di Aragosta, and Losbster Tail. Portions are substantial, and the prices are reasonable. Will continue to be one of their regular customers!!
My wife & I came here with our friends to celebrate our annual Christmas dinner. We enjoyed every bite! Our waiter Steve was amazing! Be sure to ask for him! A must try for small bites is their calamari!
Atmosphere was really nice and it’s only one block to the beach. The food was very good, I had a pizza made in their 900 degree wood fire pizza oven, and the pizza was really good. I’d definitely come back. �
Good food, great service, nice atmosphere. More open after the recent remodel/redesign. Can be loud inside with a larger crowd, but it’s all good family style fun.
Mamma Mia! This place has it all! The location, the setting, the service, the food, everything you could need in a great experience with food you get it here! The atmosphere is really darling and the service is really exceptional! Our waiter was straight from Italy and was so kind and charming! The food was extremely delicious and we will definitely be returning! I highly highly recommend this place.
Excellent place for a lunch date, brunch, dinner or a business meal. Beautiful views from the second floor. Great staff and the food is wonderful. Their risotto is delicious - must try. Our waiter Christian was very attentive and polite.
The service for food and drinks was incredible. Our server Alex was on point with our orders, timing of food and drink pairing. She was a magician with how fast orders came out. Oh and don't let me forget the actual food and drinks, also incredible. Don't miss out on this fantastic Italian cuisine. Upstairs is a smaller affair with tapas and drinks, available for more of a social experience. 264 Fresco is a must try!
Go during happy 😃 hour because you will enjoy 😊 the small, yet tasty 😋 selection of Italian 🇮🇹 foods. The wood 🪵 fired🔥 sausage pizza 🍕 was on point along with the lobster 🦞 ravioli and calamari. House Drinks 🍹 hit the spot as well and the overall ambiance was very pleasant. Highly recommended! We had 4-5 items from the happy 😊 hour menu with 4 drinks for $100 minus tip.
Great little place close to the water. Great atmosphere, a bit loud though. Food was good, especially the Brussel Sprouts. The Chicken Parmigiana could have used a bit more sauce. But we would come back.
Awesome atmosphere and so close to the beach. We sat outside on the patio and could see the ocean from our table. Such a beautiful view and the food was excellent. Our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. We had salads, pasta, bread and cannoli. Everything was outstanding! Will be back for sure and will sit on the top deck next time for a different experience.
My new favorite! Lobster ravioli is amazing. Tiramisu is off the chain. Short rib is phenomenal. But don't take it home for reheat. Doesn't reheat well (cheese turns to oil).
