Our Food

Fresco by Scotto has been a beloved NYC institution since November 1993, earning its reputation as the go-to destination for power lunches, vibrant atmosphere, hearty portions, and incredible service. Proudly owned and operated by the Scotto family—Rosanna Scotto and her children Jenna and LJ Ruggiero—the third generation of the family brings modern flourishes and invigoration into the family business.

Fresco offers more than just exceptional food; it’s an extension of the Scotto's Italian hospitality. A member of the Scotto clan is always at the restaurant to greet you with warmth and charm, making every visit feel like a homecoming. In addition to meeting the Scotto Family at the restaurant, they can often be seen demonstrating cooking segments on Fox 5's "Good Day New York" and NBC's "Today Show,” to name a few. Fresco by Scotto has received outstanding reviews in New York Magazine, Gourmet Magazine, The New York Times and Crain’s New York Business.
