Editorial Review for Fresco Italian Cafe – by Bob King
The Scene
In warmer months, the candlelit patio is a lovely setting for the delicious food. The rustic, Italianate dining room can seem crowded, but the well-synchronized, intelligent staff readily compensates.
The Food
The kitchen gracefully manages an American take on Italian cuisine, adding fresh herbs and seasonal ingredients to lightly accent sauces and dressings. Veal entrees and fresh fish specials are generally fine, but the tender broiled medallions of lamb tenderloin are a favorite choice for bigger appetites. The daily selection of risotto is always rich, creamy and satisfying. Diners on a budget may want to patch together an exploratory dinner with antipasti, salads and one pasta dish.

I went to dinner here with my girlfriend and her parents. What a great time!! The food is out of this world! The ambiance is spectacular. We have lived in Utah for about 10 years and have never been here before. We went on the word of a co-worker who is a regular here. We were not disappointed, we felt like we stepped into another world. Chef Sotelo is a master!!! GO EAT HERE!!!
Pros: Food, Ambiance, service
Cons: none
