Il Fresco - Orangeburg

Went there with a party of four. We all had a delicious meal there. Very friendly and attentive staff. The rustic ambiance was a welcome pleasure.

I ate the chicken parm and it was really bad. The cheese was super thick and chewy and the sauce was bland. The chicken itself was hard like it had been frozen earlier and hadn’t thawed fully. Stay away from the “Italian” restaurant Update for owner: Yes I did eat some of it and then couldn’t anymore because it was so awful. My mom had fish was a red sauce and didn’t mind having mine with her sauce. So she gave me hers and hers was also pretty tasteless. So yea I didn’t complain until later on. Why does that matter? Maybe serve food that isn’t terrible or take it off the bill if someone complains. I’m glad I complained because maybe you will rethink that putrid lemon wine sauce and steamed veggies. Would you actually eat that yourselves?

Our waiter was excellent. He overheard it was my birthday and brought me a dish with ice cream and strawberries with happy birthday wishes. Made my day. Thank you!

As always, the food and service were fantastic, and being able to eat at the outdoor patio on a beautiful evening made it perfect.

Had another great meal and experience. This time we sat outside since it was a beautiful afternoon and it did not disappoint. As always staff and food was outstanding. Please try the Mariano Rivera martini you won’t regret it.
