Fresco Cucina Italiana

One of our favorite high-quality Italian spots in town. It’s family-owned, dark and romantic, and the food is excellent. We’ve ordered the Carbonara with a runny egg (and grilled chicken on the side) several times since first visiting. Tonight the Lobster Ravioli impressed me with its thick, al dente noodles and large visible chunks of lobster inside. The place was packed on a Monday night, but the staff was excellent and doing their best to fit everyone in. We sat at the bar and had a great experience with the bartender.

A scrumptious meal from a family operated restaurant. Opened in 2008 in an unassuming strip mall storefront, this place has heart and shows it in their food and service. I highly recommend the artichoke and egg wash coated chicken. Cost for a salad, wine, entree, and espresso was only $50.

All I can say is WOW. I'm from New Jersey and this gives some of the best Italian restaurants in the NY/NJ area a run for their money. The portions are huge, food was amazing. 5 stars is not enough to rate Fresco Cucina Italiana. Chicken Parm was cooked perfectly, pasta was al dente. Eggplant Parm was great, lightly breaded and not doused in sauce. Caesar salad was great, not soggy at all.

I had the Fianchatti pear pasta and the red velvet cheesecake; it was easily the best Italian dish and cheesecake that I have ever had! Our server, Jerusalem, was very polite and knowledgeable about the menu. I am only sad I am visiting and will not be able to frequent this place.

Came here one evening with some friends who were in town visiting the theme parks. Looked at my handy dandy list, and plucked out this place that was near their hotel and looked very delicious. Ambiance was very luxurious. Dark, romantic, fancy. It felt like a high profile place. I was have expecting Tony Soprano to be eating in a corner booth with some of his buddies. It was nice. Service was also excellent. We had a nice guy who was actually from Italy. All of our needs were met all night. As for the food, it was very solid. I ordered both the Fresco Pizza (Fresh mozzarella, pizza sauce, prosciutto di Parma & arugula) and the Sacchetti Tartufo Pasta (Pocket flower pasta stuffed with truffle cheese served with a creamy mushroom white sauce). Pizza was very good! A nice, big crust with a nice chew, a literal ton of toppings, and good flavors in this classic pizza. Meaty meat, bitter arugula, and the pops of slightly salty parm. Just very good stuff. There are very few things better than an indulgent bowl of delicious pasta. These put little gift baggies were stuffed with a truly decadent truffle cheese, and the additional umami of the mushroom sauce make it so deep with flavor. I hope you're ready for this gluttony. Overall, I haven't had an Italian meal this good in a long time. I totally recommend this place.

We sought out Italian food on our way home and uncovered a gem in Tifton! Amazing quality and quantity of food prepared with such delicious flare. Julian took great care of us and made sure we will be back to visit in the years to come. Thank you for such an amazing dinner!
