   We at first were impressed with everything. Server was very nice and knowledgeable. Violinist was nicely playing. Atmosphere was authentic. However, our main course took beyond forever to come. Server apologized stating he had “forgotten to place it until too late.” That would’ve been forgivable, but after over 2.5 hours and everyone around us having received their entire orders and leaving, one of the dinners was incorrect. Soda refills had to be requested. We never even got offered our dessert which was supposed to be included and quite frankly, we were afraid would take too long to get even if they had offered. It’s sad it turned to this. We were greatly impressed in the beginning.

   Thank you Fresco and especially our thoughtful, professional, and genuinely kind server Paolo! We had a lovely experience at this restaurant. The food, cocktails and service were fantastic. We returned here for a second night because we enjoyed ourselves so much. Our honeymoon was so special in Aruba and in big part was our experience at Fresco.

   Great service, very friendly people, nice ambience. My husbands dinner was amazing. Mine was fine but less than an appetizer portion for $39. Appetizer we got was fine, nothing special. It was convenient and they were nice.

    The filet was good, but my wife and daughter had the carbonara and it was inedible. The house wine was also much poorer quality than when we ate here two nights earlier. They seemed understaffed compared to the last visit also. Still a beautiful view and nice people!
