We are not from Orlando, we are here on vacation looking for somewhere to eat that was not Disney Springs or City Walk. We found this place online and thought we'd try it. I am so glad we did! The food is delicious. We loved everything we had. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is coming to Orlando for vacation. It was actually one of the best Italian restaurants we've been to in a while.

Visited several times and the food and service is always amazing. The portions and food quality are very good. Incomparable to any chain restaurants. Authentic Italian and nice atmosphere. I highly recommend. My favorites are the chicken Alfredo and and vongole pasta. It's everything you'd want it to be and more. The food is genuinely good.

Let me start of by saying WOW!! Upon entering we had to wait a few minutes before getting seated, but nothing too long. The decor is relaxing for a nice date, but would do well for a bit of business as well. We came in at 230 so the wait staff was thin, but service was great After getting seated we got waters quickly and the menus were simple, but there's something for everyone. We started with the burrata. The cheese had just the right rich fresh flavor that paired with the arugula, tomatoes and prosciutto amazingly. My daughter got the cheese ravioli. The red sauce was so fresh and the cheese in the ravioli was rich and smooth. The pasta was perfect and fresh. My son had the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. If you are not a fan of Alfredo, try this one. It was maybe the best Alfredo I've ever had. The chicken was grilled and seasoned to perfection, and again the pasta was amazing. My wife and I shared a pizza. We got the quattro stagioni. It has mozzarella, sauce, black olives, artichoke, and prosciutto di parma. All of the ingredients were very fresh and mixed to create a rich salty smoky taste. The crust was delicious! I'm not sure what type of oven they have, but the crust was charred and crispy in all the right places. We all finished off with some tiramisu and cannoli. They were both excellent and light. Each tasty especially good with the strong espresso they served. Overall I cannot say enough about this restaurant. If you love real Italian food come enjoy some at Fresco Cucina Italiana.

Mama Mia! What an authentic experience! The flavours of the food here are to die for. All quality ingredients! The staff, OMG! What a bunch of great people, specially our waiter Riccardo a fantastic young Italian man that shows a true passion for his job and the food he presents to you! Go, try the food, enjoy the experience! Travel to Italy through the flavours that are placed in front of you at this restaurant! The tortellini stuffed with ricotta and truffles are an explosion of flavours that engages all your senses! Don’t forget to try the tiramisu!

Amazing!!! Everything was perfect from the beginning. We went for our 11month anniversary, we went with the recommendations of our server (I unfortunately do not remember his name but he was AMAZING I hopefully will have him again next time I go and will give him a shout out !) amazing customer service and the food we got was mouth watering, it is so hard to find an authentic Italian place here in Orlando and this is the real deal! New favorite place

Brilliant restaurant, Teresa the floor manager was the friendliest woman. She greeted us with a warm welcome when we entered, and we had a short wait as the restaurant was really busy. We got a nice bottle of authentic Tuscany chianti, the wine menu is very extensive. The pasta is very fresh and the desserts are amazing. Chocolate skyscraper cake is huge ! The bruschetta starter was not brought to us even though we ordered. Our server was very friendly and the whole restaurant has a real Italian feel to it with plenty of locals. I would definitely return, however I would have to say it is not 10/10 “WOW” amazing. I have had better Italian restaurants with more exceptional flavour and a better menu. No doubt this was authentic - just my personal opinion, I have had better and was maybe expecting more coming to this restaurant. The waiter also forgot our starter and a few things, he seemed rushed and under pressure.

Amazing food, great service (Irnzen is an amazing waiter) and the pear pasta is to die for! If you want a happy environment with a cozy and old fashion feel then this place is just for you. The tiramisu is amazing and the warm goat cheese salad is incredible. Flavors are very fresh and even the simplest dishes taste out of this world. I’ve been to Italy and this is the definition of Italian food. Best meal ever! Hope you find this place as great as we did! (Photo is pear pasta)

Lovely italian restaurant, kids loved the mussels and we enjoyed each course, loved the vegetables after so many burgers and chips in theme parks! Wine was okay too. Over all it was pretty good. Staff were nice. Understandably they take better care of locals over blow in tourists which is fair enough, but as I always say, eat where the locals eat!

I wish I could give this place 20 stars. By far the freshest grilled chicken salad I have ever had in my 30 years alive. And then I had the primavera pizza and oh my GOD. The best pizza I’ve ever had hands down. So fresh, just amazing. And the service is incredible. Simply amazing

This family owned restaurant is one of the best places I have eaten pasta. True Italian food and incredible great service. Irnzen was the best so if you go ask for her. The don't have online reservations, the best way is to stop by and make a reservation in person because if you don't you need to wait a lot. I will visit again soon.

We have had such an amazing time here. The place is very Italian, from our host to our server and the kitchen staff as well. Menu is variegated and there are plenty of options for vegetarians as well. Pizza was very nice too. We went there with a huge appetite and got home stuffed! Very suggested! Unfortunately we completely forgot to take pics of the entrees!

We ate here 3 nights out of our 4 night stay in Orlando! That pretty much summons how much we loved this place! The prices and services are unbeatable. Theresa and her granddaughter were amazing! We also received great service from our waiters Marco and Irzven (I hope I spelled her name right! But she knows who she is!). My fav dishes were the 4 cheese pizza and the pear and cheese pasta. Their limoncello is delicious too! We will definitely come back to eat there when back in Orlando.

I have heard so many people rave about this place I had to try it out. The place is absolutely packed so some people must be loving it but I don't get it. Maybe it's same adage of the only girl on the construction site is beautiful. ( not many Italian places in the area) I dono we ordered the lasagna, lobster ravioli, and grilled octopus. The ravioli was decent (very small serving, six pieces for like $26) , not the best we've had but it's good. The lasagna was horrible and really salty. See the photo, all the layers of pasta with nothing between except one thin layer of meat. It tasted like pasta, tomato sauce and salt. The grilled octopus was also super salty. They must be doing something right because the place is packed and they have decent rating here on yelp, but I'd opt for the Olive Garden over this and that's the McDonald's of Italian food. Once the food was dropped off there was no follow up, our drinks went empty. I know it tough times finding help right now so I can let that slide.

We had an excellent birthday dinner here. Our server Irnzen was amazing - perfect recommendations . The food is amazing, the service was friendly, fast and very knowledgeable, and the ambiance feels warm. Everything was delicious. I can't remember the names of the dishes, but ask your server for recommendations and you can't go wrong.

Brought a couple of friends, here for a quiet lunch. One had the fettuccine Alfredo, another had a similar pasta dish, and I had the pizza. All were excellent and tasted great. Service was fast, very friendly, and the decor was authentic and comforting.

We came here after universal studios, the menu looked good, and the reviews did also. They were packed so we waited about 15 min no problem, the waitress took our orders quickly and arrived with our appetizers within minutes. Service was very fast that was the good part. We got our pastas to go because we didn’t want to stay in the loud environment. We asked for a side of marinara sauce to go with the rest of the calamari and were charged $5 for it and given a small “tub” of sauce .. which we didn’t ask for or need. We left with our to go pastas when we got back to our hotel, we looked at the pasta it was greasy and separated. Not good , thrown away about $40 worth . This was not true carbonara by any means and the Alfredo with chicken was nothing special as well. That was really disappointing. We hoped for a better by looking at the reviews.. but everything here was very greasy and oily. I don’t recommend if you want real Italian that will satisfy. The three stars are for the service and the appetizers.

Best Italian food I've had in Orlando area so far! My husband and I had Mushroom Risotto and Linguine Alla Vongole and both were amazing! Service was nice as well, especially Marla.

Came here on a Friday night .it was very busy. So make reservations if you can. Food was fantastic. Chicken and eggplant Parm were outstanding. Tiramisu was a must have as well. Our server was fantastic.

We went to the PGA Tour Superstore and passed this restaurant. It looked packed but we thought we would check. It was about a 30 minute wait. I am not sure how the hostess remembered the order everyone came in without writing it down. But she did, and did it well! The atmosphere inside was nice. Very fun and lighthearted. A little loud but it is Friday at 730 pm. We ate outside and it was fantastic. Very laid back. The service was great. Quick and knowledgeable about the menu. Nice and friendly. Great food. Tasty and great presentation. Overall well worth a visit. About $25 a person. Would definitely recommend this restaurant over the brands like OG, Carraba’s, etc.

Marco was amazing!! Thank you for your hospitality. The food was amazing as expected 😋 Call ahead and RSVP, we got extremely lucky someone didn't show up. The best Italian restaurant I've been to. If I'm ever in Orlando again I'll be back. Marco thanks for making my girls feel special, we all appreciate it very much.

We discovered Fresco last week, we had a large group of 10. We all had an amazing meal, Marco was fantastic! The food was fantastic. I can’t wait to go back! Not a single complaint from anyone. We will go here anytime we visit Orlando in the future.

Wonderful dinner experience at Fresco. Everything we ordered was very delicious and had different flavor. Appetizers of sausage and octopus were very good. Wait staff was attentive and Luisa was great. Wines were exceptional. Had like 6 bottles amongst us. Their wine list is, not long, but high on quality. Ask for bottles that may not be in the list!

first time there....it was awesome.....the food was fresh, flavors on point.....service was very good....definitely a place to go back too..... A SOLID 5 STAR

If you are in Orlando for vacation or a local this is the place you want to try. Food is/was amazing and Restuarant is family owned. We ordered Mushroom & Chicken Risotto, fettuccine Alfredo & Chocolate cake. M&CR is a must try and Chocolate Cake is the perfect end.
