Il Fresco,

"El fresco had wonderful atmosphere and wonderful service. The food however for what my husband and I ordered was absolutely terrible. We ordered the seafood Bouillabaisse Now being Italian the sauce that is in the bouillabaisse has a flavor and somewhat of a consistency. Being Italian having had this dish, not only in Italy, but in America, many many times this was the worst water down worst dish we have ever had. We refused and sent it back only to be faced with the chef that explained that his brother had made this and that he was offended. I told him I was offended having been Italian and have had this dish at many other places, and this was terribly watered down and had no taste. He was terribly insulted and left the table with not even an apology. I would say that a chef that represents a restaurant that has been established for many many years be More Receptive to a customers critique of the food that they presented to the public. Not only was I insulted, but totally appalled of how he would not even hear of what I had to say. my son, however. Had a delicious dish. And like I said service atmosphere was terrific. Stay away from the bouillabaisse. For they know not how to properly prepare it. It was so terribly watered down that The thought of putting a piece of Italian bread into that water was disgusting. It was terrible stay away from that dish."

"We hosted the rehearsal lunch for our wedding at Il Fresco, and we couldn't have chosen a more perfect place. The restaurant is cozy and beautiful in an old school way. Frank (one of the owners) made the process of reserving the private room so incredibly easy and was so accommodating of whatever we asked for. He also set the tone for the service, which was excellent - his easy going and hospitable nature helped me feel relaxed during the very stressful lead up to the big day. The food was great - wish I could have eaten more but was busy hosting! Thanks for everything."

"The most absolute delicious Italian food in Rockland County by far. I don't know how they make their sauce but it's liquid gold. Fantastic service and beautiful atmosphere. 5 stars isn't enough!"

"Amazing! I could not have had a better experience. The dishes are incredible & so fresh, the atmosphere is homey and cozy. Il fresco is the perfect place for date night or family dinner, 10/10!"

"Well. We came here for chase dinning. Great cozy outdoor dining set up. We came here for early Sunday dinner and there were gardeners landscaping the neighboring hotel the whole time. Unfortunately it was very noisy and no relaxation. Food was little better than average. I may not come back again."
