   The osso buco and chicken parm were delicious. My husband had a seafood pasta I don’t know the name now but he loved it and the burrata app as well as the meatball app were very good as well. Complimentary homemade limoncello was an absolute treat. Waitress was delightful .

   Wanted to try Fresco for awhile, and visited on a Tuesday evening. The location is wonderful - poolside with a view of the ocean. We dined late so the view of the sunset wasn’t our interest, but I’m sure it’s lovely. Restaurant was only about a third full, yet service was slow. Ordered a pizza as an appetizer, and it was just OK, reminding us too much of store-bought type. Our entrees were better - lasagna was tasty but very small portion for the money. Our other pasta dishes were more plentiful and also tasted good. We skipped coffee and dessert, but the complimentary limoncello shots were excellent and a nice touch. Overall, we most likely won’t return, but I would recommend giving it a try, especially for lunch or early evening, when the view may overshadow some of the negatives. Definitely not the best Italian on the island, as some have stated here, but worth a visit.

   The food is delicious and visually appealing! The only downside is the VERY slow service. To sit 3 hours for a 3 course meal after a long and tiring day at the beach was a bit too long.
