Oh my goodness deliciousness! Amazing evening -- Insalata de Nochi (braised Pear Salad) was perfect-- I had the Short Rib Pasta -- made with Pappardelle Pasta, moist flavorful short rib, mushroom cream sauce (yum!)--absolutely scrumptious! Bob had the Chicken Marsala, and he said the chicken was tender, very good! and of course (2) Glasses of Cabernet, from Paso Robles--The staff are always so amazing, fantastic customer service-- Thank you to the man, Leone!

If you don't live in Fallbrook or Bonsall you need to make the drive to this place today....or add this to your "must try" list, please. They are located in side of the River Village Plaza toward the back near the Ballet Studio and Peking Wok (another must add restaurant). This post is for the two times we have been here in the last 3 weeks. Service is outstanding from the host, busser, server, waiter, waitress....they have a great staff. Good job on hiring great employees. That is key to a great business. Both days we came here were on a Thursday evening...not sure how that happened. We came around 5:30pm and we were quickly sat. Place does get busy after 6 we noticed, so we came at a good time. First time around we ordered linguine, pizza and a drink. Second time we ordered TWO orders of their short rib pasta special, lasagna ($26) and pizza ($18) (we brought our daughter along the second time). Obviously you can tell we really like the short rib pasta special ($26) because we ordered TWO. That sauce on there is to die for. Pizzas of any kind here is very tasty. You get table side freshly grated cheese to whatever dishes you would like. You get one basket of bread for the table...according to the menu it says extra bread baskets after is a charge of $5. But one basket was plenty for us because then we wouldn't be able to our lovely meal. Not really their fault, but parking can be a pain at times. We will be back soon!

What a find! We'll be back. My wife and I loved the delicious food, ambiance, casual background music by Jack Johnson, Frank Sinatra, Jason Mraz, etc., friendly waitresses, owner, and even a chat with the chef who stopped by our table. The Halibut and Filet Mignon were the best we've had in years, served with mashed potatoes and veggies cooked to perfection. The pear salad was also so, so good. Thank you Fresco!

We had dinner there on Valentine's Day. We actually went there for the first time since we lived in the North County in mid-2000s, even though our server told us the restaurant has been in business for 15 years. I think it is a hidden gem mainly because most people, including us, have never expected such a good restaurant located in a plaza in the middle of "mostly nowhere". The seafood pasta, lasagna, and the branzino were all high-quality cooked, not being made in a "mass production" way that we usually experienced in the chain restaurant. The atmosphere was ambient and we are also glad we sat at a booth table just at the corner, allowing us to not only enjoy the ambience and the outside view through the window but also maintain our own privacy.

AMAZING Brunch! Staff was super nice. Definitely coming back.UPDATE: Came in for dinner post remodel and the revamp looks amazing! The food quality was better than ever and the staff was still so friendly and wonderful. I sometimes overlook this place, but after this experience I'll definitely keep it in the front of my mind!

The only issue I had was I booked an 8:15 dinner and they were pushing to close at 9 which I was never told. I understand people want to get back to their families but best to be advised in advance.

I understand it was Christmas Eve, and they were a little busy. The waiter took our order and didn't come back till we were done. Someone else brought the food, the waiter didnt check on us or I would've complained and sent my food back. I got the shrimp and the sauce was a bitter lemon starch combination. we didn't receive water refills... just an all-around bummer. Our bill was $175. You would think for that amount of money they would have someone filling our waters, checking on us, etc...
