Fresco Cafe Italiano

Chef Roberto’s concept is to rapidly serve customized authentic Italian pasta in a variety of shapes, sizes and textures to accommodate busy lifestyles.
(219)

The kitchen is "true scratch" utilizing equipment imported from Italy to help prepare handmade recipes. All bread, pizza, pasta, ravioli, meatballs, sauces, dressings, and desserts are made from scratch in house daily from grains and cheeses imported from Italy. Guests may choose meals from a list of "classics" or self-create any number of pasta dishes prepared to order. Daily made fresh raw pasta

and authentic Italian sauces are available to customers who want to take away and easily prepare delicious Italian pasta dishes for fresh home preparations. Catering services are also available.

With great sadness we must announce that Fresco Café Italiano will close its doors and cease operations on Sunday, April 30, 2022. The restaurant has experienced tremendous success over the past 5 years, and we are grateful to you, our customers, for your loyal support. We have enjoyed serving you and socializing with you. Chef Roberto needs a sabbatical to recharge his batteries. His supreme culinary skills are only surpassed by his committed work ethic. No one works harder than Chef Roberto. The Chef will return to Italy for rest and relaxation with his beautiful wife, Maria Clara, and their son, Filippo. Thank you again for your friendship and patronage. We hope Chef Roberto will return soon. We will miss him dearly while he is gone.
