I’ve been to this location a few times and everytime I have eaten here the service and food is always amazing! I really enjoyed the fresh pasta and cocktails. I didn’t get a picture of the loaded cheese bread but that’s a must get appetizer when you come here. We will definitely be back again soon!

I had the most incredible dining experience at Pasta Fresco! This restaurant offers a delightful selection of delicious, fresh-made pasta dishes that left me speechless. From the very moment I walked in, I was captivated by the warm ambiance and inviting private dining area. The staff at Pasta Fresco were pleasant but also incredibly attentive and helpful with menu selections. One of the highlights of the evening was their pomegranate mocktail. It was an explosion of flavors, refreshing, and the perfect complement to the meal.

This was our first time at Pasta Fresca and it was great! Grace was our server and she did an amazing job. Very attentive. She recommended the special for the evening and it was worth it. The bruschetta had a lot more tomatoes than necessary in my opinion but I just took those to go and will repurpose them in a salad. We even stayed for cannoli and coffee. We will definitely be back to try some other things.

We went here for dinner Wednesday night for the first time and wow, it’s delicious! We loved all of our dishes, service was great. We left so full and with leftovers. I’m excited to go back.

Had a great time visiting the restaurant, really cute Italian restaurant. We sat outside, but when we first walked in there was a live band playing inside which was cool. We got the calamari, half loaf of the loaded bread, the loaded Alfredo, and chicken Alfredo Fresca. Everything was good and came with a large serving. I preferred the loaded Alfredo to the Fresca.

Service was good, restaurant clean, enough space for groups. The food is edible at best. We had loaded cheese bread, the Brussel sprouts, chicken Alfredo, and the Cajun pasta. There was no flavor. The Brussels tasted like grease and were slightly better with the sauce. The Alfredo tasted like nothing.

Our server Amber was great. She was knowledgeable about the food when we asked questions and let us sample some of their wines before we committed to them. There was also live music, which was great!

First time eating here, had a super nice waitress that was very patient in explaining the menu and accommodating to our dietary needs. Had the bruschetta for app, which was ok, would’ve been better with cherry tomatoes. Then we shared the freca ravioli and the gnocchi. The brussels sprouts that came with the gnocchi were so delicious and the serving of ravioli was just right. Didn’t leave room for dessert, but would definitely go back if we lived in the area. The seating area could be more cozy/comfortable.

This has become a regular spot for us, and we are never disappointed. An amazing variety of classic Italian dishes made with fresh pasta and sauces. The service is also outstanding.
