Fresco Resturants - Carlsbad

Fresco has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years, with improvements made to every aspect of the dining experience—from the ambiance and cozy chair cushions to the table linens, menu, sauces, staff, and wine selection. The service was outstanding; we ordered four different dishes to share, and they arrived at just the right time. We didn't have to pour our own wine, and the water was refilled as soon as we reached for it. Bravo, Fresco! P.S. Don’t miss the roasted artichoke appetizer!

One of my favorite restaurants! The Brussels sprouts are absolutely amazing!

I dined here on Saturday night, and unfortunately, the service was terrible and painfully slow. It's disappointing how restaurants expand their outdoor seating areas, yet the kitchen seems unable to handle the increased demand. Our food took nearly an hour to arrive! I definitely won't be returning. The table next to us was experiencing problems as well.

Our food was excellent- we enjoyed the lobster raviolis and the swordfish. They have outdoor seating as well, we were in the back room that was a bit noisy but overall we enjoyed our dinner. Our waiter was great too. Would definitely go back.

DO NOT waste your time and money by dining at 264 Fresco. You can be easily fooled by the great location, the large outdoor dining area under a tent, and an extensive menu, but you will be greatly disappointed. Also, the menu prices are not equal to the value you receive. The best part of our meal were the salads, and it went downhill after that course. The red sauce on my wife's Lasagna had a slight burnt taste, and the Fettucine Alfredo did not have enough sauce and was almost dry.
