"House special appetizer is a winner and should be a definite on everyone's order . We always order that and the grilled calamari to share. Best grilled calamari i ever had. One of our favorite local restaurants. We almost order the same thing every time we go there."

"I brought my girlfriend down from the Philadelphia area and she was amazed by the atmosphere and the quality of your food. She is a world traveler and has eaten all types of food and was really impressed by your staff as well as the food served. She requested that I should come back with her of course."

"We go to Ocean City frequently and we usually have a couple of good restaurants we visit. On this occasion we were celebrating my sister in laws birthday and she loves pasta. I went through the dining guide on line and chose Fresco's because the view was important to us as well as the variety of items on your menu. All of us wanted something different and Fresco's provided good choices for everyone. We loved the view, the food, and the excellent service we received. We will definitely add this restaurant to our list of favorites."

"We went to this restaurant to try new places in Ocean City, MD. We only saw the sign, no other reviews. From the outside, it appeared to be nothing special. But inside, it was nice, live quiet piano music in the lounge area behind us. The waiter was fantastic, very helpful with menu choices. Actually, of the five of us, one of the menu's was different from the rest. There was one menu item extra on that menu, and of course it was the one several of us chose. The waiter checked with the kitchen and they prepared it for us, no problem. The sea bass was huge, cooked perfectly. Crab cakes were delicious. Every one of us enjoyed our meal. Locally home made desserts also! Will be returning!"

"I requested to the hostess when we arrived that it was my daughters birthday, with a party of 4, and who the waiter was, she said no problem. We ordered coffee and dessert and no Birthday surprise or mention of BD ever came. Told the hostess when we left and she blamed the waiter. The waiter told us "sorry I forgot about it". This should have not happen on a Sunday Night at 630 dinner service."

"Always good, food, room, view, service - you're down the beach and you need a goto restaurant! Somewhere to take the inlaws or your boss or that neighbor that did you a big favor! Not overtly expensive It is the perfect beach restaurant and it is not a chain! Fresco's is a solid favorite."

"Everything was very good about this restaurant and I would have give it more stars if it weren't for a couple of things that should have been better. This was a special occasion birthday dinner and we had reservations. We were seating promptly even though the restaurant was crowded and we had an excellent table by the window as requested. The waiter was ok, not as available or attentive for a restaurant of this caliber. We were not in a hurry but did seem to wait a little too long for certain things. The one complaint that we had was the filet mignon that we ordered arrived at room temperature instead of fresh off the grill. We chose not to send it back because it would be then have been reheated and ultimately overcooked."

"Beautiful natural water views enhance the wonderful dinning experience for new & frequent customers of Fresco's. One may choose the spacious bar for drinks served by special folks who may entice you to stay at the bar for your dinning experience. In any case, Fresco's offers a diverse menu with experienced staff who share the "Specials" of the day and assist the undecided diner to make a selection that will be sure to appease. For those who dine at sunset, you will be treated to a special experience as the sun sets with grace & spectacular beauty."

"The sunset view was absolutely beautiful. Our waiter, Steve was very good. He made suggestions that were perfect for our group. The crab bruschetta special appetizer was loaded with crab and the 6 at the table had plenty to go back for seconds. Escargot was equally as delicious as were the oysters. I ordered the shrimp linguine with a vodka sauce that was not the normal thick sauce but light and tasty. Each meal that was ordered was prepared well. It was a perfect family evening enjoyed by all. I would make reservations for the next time in Ocean City."

"The food was excellent and our waiter well-experienced and wonderfully attentive. The unobstructed westerly view across the bay is perfect for a sunset dinner. My only complaint, and it's minor, is that the pianist performing the night we were there had a rather kitschy repertoire and it took a little something away from the experience. If we return to Ocean City, we will return to Fresco's"

"The food was great. Robert was our server and he was very good. He was very attentive & yet he allowed to take our time & linger with the beautiful view. The Blackened Grouper was excellent. The piano music just enhanced the evening. Everything was just perfect! Can't wait to come back & try some other dishes."

"Fresco's is an treat you owe it to yourself to experience. From the first welcome to final drop of wine, all is excellence. The food is among the finest in Delmarva. The Cream of Crab soup is the best in the area. Views are terrific...bring binoculars to enjoy wildlife during cocktails! We had a warm welcome, attentive yet unobtrusive service. A very strong wine list, with good by-the-glass offerings. This restaurant would be an excellent venue for a group special occasion -- anniversary party, rehearsal dinner, etc."

"This is a gem. The food was not only excellent, but the dishes were very creative with items I have not seen on other menus at similar restaurants. The servers (in this case Steve) are personable and very knowledgable about the menu and the preparation of the items on the menu. This was our first time at this restaurant and we will definitely be back the next time we are in the area."

"We were in OC for our annual girl's weekend and decided to try Fresco's instead of our usual elegant dining restaurant. We were extremely happy with our change in locations. Fresco's is a fabulous restaurant. The food,service,atmosphere, special food requests, and piano bar music made for a memorable night for all of us! We will defiantly be back next year!"

"We celebrated our 36th Anniversary at Fresco's Restaurant. This was our first time at the restaurant and we were not disappointed. The food was absolutely delicious. I had a Grey Goose Martini which was made to perfection. The service was wonderful and we were checked on often to make sure that we had everything that we needed. We sat by the window and the view was fantastic."

"Fresco's has a great Italian menu, and is a step above the OC restaurant scene. It is, by far, the best Italian food in the area. Even though you will be welcomed no matter what, Fresco's feels like you should be better dressed than casual. We have tried many of the menu items, but this was a later night visit (about 9:30) and we opted for a light meal, sharing a crab-tini appetizer, which was quite delicious, and then also sharing a shrimp fra diavlo, which was also excellent. We had room for dessert, and the menu had great choices, but we didn't want to overdo it so late in the evening. Overall, the portions were nicely sized, large, but not ridiculous. One of the few places for a really great meal later night meal on the off season"

"Requested a table by the window for a romantic dinner for two and was sat at the glass emergency exit door. That was our window with a view. Very disappointed but the food was very good, the ambiance was very nice as well. The server was very professional but clearly had more tables than she could handle.
All in all it was a nice evening but left a lot to be desired. We will, however, give it another chance as it looks like perhaps it was just bad nite."

"Greeted at door as if VIP's. Mr. Hostess made sure seating was to our liking. His small talk also was accepted and appreciated. Waiter was Special in handling all our needs,ordering and follow thru whole dinner time. Proceded to piano bar, that capped off a great romantic evening."

"Was expecting a better meal. Crab cakes had lots of filler for $30, filet was not worthy of $30 and pasta was acceptable. Salad and soup was good. Wine list was adequate. Overall the price was not justified and we will not be going back. Lots of better choices in OC."
