Fresco Cucina Italiana Orlando FL

First time here since they relocated to the other side of the shopping center. We live in the region, but not near the tourist section so this is strictly a special occasion place. Been coming here since the early 2000s and have never been disappointed other than forgetting to put in a dinner reservation and being told there was a two hour wait. Thankfully the quality and service have not changed. I really need to try and get here more often. You really can't get this level of quality at this price point anywhere else!

Lovely italian restaurant, kids loved the mussels and we enjoyed each course, loved the vegetables after so many burgers and chips in theme parks! Wine was okay too. Over all it was pretty good. Staff were nice. Understandably they take better care of locals over blow in tourists which is fair enough, but as I always say, eat where the locals eat!

I have heard so many people rave about this place I had to try it out. The place is absolutely packed so some people must be loving it but I don't get it. Maybe it's same adage of the only girl on the construction site is beautiful. ( not many Italian places in the area) I dono we ordered the lasagna, lobster ravioli, and grilled octopus. The ravioli was decent (very small serving, six pieces for like $26) , not the best we've had but it's good. The lasagna was horrible and really salty. See the photo, all the layers of pasta with nothing between except one thin layer of meat. It tasted like pasta, tomato sauce and salt. The grilled octopus was also super salty. They must be doing something right because the place is packed and they have decent rating here on yelp, but I'd opt for the Olive Garden over this and that's the McDonald's of Italian food. Once the food was dropped off there was no follow up, our drinks went empty. I know it tough times finding help right now so I can let that slide.
