Fresco's Fine Italian Dining

Excellent, next to a run down Kmart, but the food is top notch.

Had dinner at Fresco's the other night. The food is definitely above average Italian, especially for this price range. I had the chicken picatta, really enjoyed it. Another person in our group had lasagne, said it was great. Only complaint: the iced tea was pretty bad. It was probably made from a powdered mix instead of being brewed. The service was satisfactory. The owner (or one of the owners, anyway), came by a couple of times to ask if everything was okay. That's a nice touch.

Haven't been to Fresco's in a few years. We stopped there for dinner before the MLB All Star Game and the quality is still pretty good. We ordered the antipast for two and a rice ball as appetizers. My wife had a  nice lasagna, my son the lobster ravioli and I had the veal parmigiana. The veal came with sides of fries(I don't understand the fascination Orlando chefs have with rosemary but they overdid it on the potatoes)and peas with mushrooms and onions. As expected everything was as good as I remembered and I would recommend Fresco's for a reasonably priced Italian meal. It may not be on a par with the string of  Italian restaurants on Mulberry Street in Little Italy but for Orlando it's definitely a cut above.
