Fresco Italiano

At the last minute, I decided to grab a dessert for a birthday celebration, and Fresco Italiano was a lifesaver! We were staying at the hotel and arrived at the restaurant only about ten minutes before closing. Although they had already set up barriers to prevent entry, we approached the bar and requested a pistachio tiramisu for takeout, which they kindly provided. The tiramisu was incredibly soft, creamy, and delicious, striking a perfect balance between mascarpone, coffee, and pistachio. I was pleasantly surprised by how well the flavors complemented each other. It was just the right level of sweetness—neither overly sugary nor too bitter from the coffee. Despite ordering it to go, they still managed to add delightful decorations. Plus, the portion size was quite generous!

Reached out last minute for dessert to celebrate a special occasion, and Fresco Italiano truly delivered! Staying at the hotel, we visited the restaurant just moments before closing. Despite the barriers indicating they were wrapping up for the night, we approached the bar and requested a pistachio tiramisu to go, which they graciously provided. The tiramisu was exceptionally soft, creamy, and delicious. The balance of mascarpone, coffee, and pistachio was perfect, surprising us with how well the flavors complemented each other. The sweetness was just right, neither too sugary nor too bitter. Even though it was a takeout order, they didn't skimp on the decorations, and the portion size was generously large!

I was in the mood for Italian cuisine, and this place absolutely delivered. Their slogan, "99% Italian, 100% would be Italy," truly reflects their authenticity. The lasagna arrived fresh from the oven in its own mini cast-iron skillet, loaded with meat, sauce, cheese, and homemade noodles. One slight observation was a hint of an unusual smell from the cheese, reminiscent of a marker, but it tasted perfectly fine—most likely just due to the type of cheese used. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo, simple and plain. The sauce was superb, with a perfect blend of spices and garlic. Naturally, the noodles were homemade! The bruschetta offered a unique twist. Instead of the usual toppings on toasted bread, everything was presented like a charcuterie board: halved tomatoes with basil and vinaigrette, cheese, and a strawberry jam-like spread. It might sound like an odd combination, but combined on a piece of bread, it was heavenly! The table bread was incredibly soft on the inside with a lightly crunchy crust, fresh from the oven. While the oil and pesto dip could use a bit more garlic and pesto, it was still delicious! One minor downside was the unfiltered water, but with a few drops of lemon, it was quite manageable. In short: Definitely eat here!

Dropped by Fresco Italiano at the Westgate Hotel after catching a show. Having walked past this place several times, I'm pleased I finally had the chance to dine here. It's surprisingly spacious inside. We were seated in a comfortable booth along the wall. The service was attentive and friendly. Food highlights: - Meat Lasagna - Bruschetta and Burrata Board The lasagna was packed with flavor and incredibly cheesy. The bruschetta was just as tasty, and the creamy burrata was a delightful touch. A great spot that I look forward to visiting again.
