When I saw the New York City skyline art, I got wistful. I was transported back to Little Italy there, in my late moms home town. The woman behind the counter greeted us with a beautiful smile. We ordered a Big Apple salad (apple, greens, candied pecans, blue cheese) and a pepperoni / sausage pizza. The pizza was amazing, with its homemade sausage and delicious cheese. Everything is made fresh, they say. I believe it. I am so grateful to have found Fresca Cafe, and cant wait to try baked ziti and gelato. My heart is overflowing. Thank you, thank you.
They have some of the better pizza in Prescott. Order the crust extra crispy. Nice, big salads that are worth it! If you have room for Gelato, its good ( kinda pricy)! Staff is friendly and helpful.
Our favorite restaurant in Prescott. Best pizza in Arizona. It is New York style and tastes just as good leftover. Great pasta too. Service is always excellent.
Excellent food and quality very impressed.
Great salad but a bit small.
Just had lunch here... husband and i both had Sandwiches and my young son had the kids pizza.... Sandwiches were dry as can be and my son who LOVES pizza said his pizza was EW .... not a fan of it at all....the waitress Star was sweet though...
First, we had the meatball/marinara appetizer. Let me say words are hard to describe how good they were. Akin to the Seinfeld soup episode. We then had a panini (Staten Island) and salad (Little Italy) with grilled chicken and it was outstanding. Gelato was superb. Our new go to for dining in Prescott. Ambience is just right. Not too crowded and you can tell this family from Queens knows how to made delicious authentic Italian cuisine.
My daughter and I were driving through Prescott when hunger struck . We both need gluten free food and this little eatery popped up in our search for gluten free pizza ! The staff here were super friendly and let us know that though the food was gluten free the eatery is only gluten friendly as the space is used for both . We ordered 2 pizzas both named for NYC places and they were delicious! The pizza crust is rice based and very crispy ...held up well even the next day left overs :) It was my birthday and was given a birthday gelato! The decor is all about NYC which was interesting as well. I would go back:)
Great family owned place and always a great food and service!!
I just recently visited this restaurant with a friend and we were blown away by the incredible service, delicious food, and mouth watering gelato. It has become our destination spot for our friend lunches. I highly recommend trying samples of the gelato. It is the best I have had anywhere in Arizona and Nevada!
Great friendly service yummy salads and sandwiches
After a long day of hiking and fishing at Lynx lake we stopped here for lunch on the way back down to PHX and wow!!! We had a large party and got to share many of the items on their menu 👉The food was was so yummy, the desserts, the gelato and sorbetto, paninis (New Yorker 🙌), pizza and baked ziti! And most importantly the service was first class! The place is very clean and NY themed very cute! Will visit again when we return.
Picked up there upper east side pizza (meat lovers) for dinner. It was very good and priced reason and friendly staff.
Food was delicious. We had the ziti, lobster ravioli special, chicken panini and the scampi with the lemoncello sauce from the special. Also some of the gelatos, salted caramel, espresso and chili chocolate which was great but spicy. I loved it.The service was relaxed and unhurried, so if you are on a tight schedule this could be an issue. It was great for sitting and catching up with our friends.
Wonderful food! So fresh! Best Rueben EVER!! Great service and very clean! Highly recommend and will be back soon!!
Dinner was awful. Waitress was nice
Freshly made menu choices. Great service and nice setting.
We had exceptional service this evening! Which is very nice for a change! We tried this place for the 1st time since we were hearing great things, and it is true people, it was Wonderful homemade Italian Dishes we had, they are open for dining in!
Visited for the first time this past weekend and it was awesome! Our server was very sweet and quick with our orders. I had the Italian flag panini which consisted of grilled chicken, mozzarella, tomato, and pesto. It was huge! I could only finish half and it tasted amazing, super refreshing. I also tried some of the fettuccine alfredo that a friend ordered, I have to say it was hands down some of the best alfredo Ive had in Prescott. Looking forward to visiting again!
Great food with some fresh made pasta, great gelato, and Francesca is solo sweet. You dont just eat there, you become family.
Only went in for the Gelato this time, but oh my gosh was it delicious! 😋
The food is so yummy and dont get me started on the fabulous variety of Gelatos they have! Also, tiramisu and cannolis! I go there as often as I get to Prescott, with family and friends. Its my favorite Italian restaurant!
Its a hole in the wall, mom and pop place, but the food is AWESOME ! ! We were licking our plates clean! So flavorful. The interior design is kinda like a throw back from a 50s dinner, and the waitress was very good also. This has just became our go-to Italian restaurant.
Food delicious and fresh. Staff helpful and protected. Social distances in play. Could not ask for more.....yes and save room for gelato!
Here visiting family and called in an order for take out. Food was good and prices reasonable.However, my reason for the 2 star review was due solely to the fact that NO ONE (servers or kitchen staff) was wearing masks.I’ve ordered take out from several local restaurants while I’ve been in Prescott, and have even dined in at an establishment. The staff in every other restaurant have all been wearing masks (in addition to other signage, sanitizer, etc).Severely disappointed with the lack of consideration for their customers health and well-being.
Best gelato in town! The owner makes it in shop. Learned how from their Italian grandfather. My personal favorite is from the Roasted Almond.
Best Italian food (& service) weve enjoyed in the Prescott area. The owners moved out from NYC about 5 years ago, bringing their recipes for Brooklyn-style Italian food; we found it to be delicious. From their hand-made pastas & specials, nice salads & dressings, many pizza selections, their traditional dessert options... including house-made Gelatos in a display case with many tempting & tasty choices, to their friendly & helpful service staff, overall they present a delightful dining experience. The restaurant is small and seating can be limited during dinner hour; call ahead for a reservation. Its tucked back in the west corner at Frontier Village (behind Einstein Bros. Bagels) on the south side of Hwy 69. Its well worth the drive to find it, whether for lunch, dinner, or just some rich & delicious Gelato, For Sure!
Our new favorite place! Fresca Cafe has excellent pizza in a relaxing atmosphere. Salads are large and fresh. The service is quick and attentive, very friendly staff. Reasonable prices. We havent tried their entrees yet but the portions look huge.
The service was great. The food incomparable. I had veal parmesan it tasted just like my grandmothers.
I have been coming here since they opened. Truly real New York Italian food! Made with fresh ingredients and with skill. Tasty and love the increased menu since inception. Keep up the great work guys! Love the Tiramisu and anything that is on the menu!
Excellent pasta... Great coffee
Great atmosphere, great service, good food. Good for all ages
First time there. Nice mix of Italian and Comfort Food. Attentive service from Jennifer. Too full to try the gelato, next time.
Truly a hidden gem! Being from Brooklyn, NY and traveling as much as I do I always look for a few things when I get hungry. Good Pizza, Good Italian Food, and great people to share my experience with. This place knocked all three out of the park. The pizza is just like I remember back home, the pasta dishes are delicious, the owners are true Italian-American New Yorkers that give you the family experience right away. Some recommendations.... GET A PIZZA!!!! Whether you prefer just a plain ol’ cheese pizza or want to get creative, there is something for just about anyone. Even a gluten free crust option. If you are into great pasta dishes, ask about the special or choose from any of the great options. The owners even make homemade gelato in what seems to be 2 dozen flavors. The service here was exceptional. All I got to say is “WAKE UP PRESCOTT!” You are missing out on a great time and even better food.
This rating is solely on the food. the service was great had no issues with service. The food in the other had was not good. I had the Uptown pizza and the crust tasted oven cooked but the toppings tasted like they came out of the microwave. My fiancee had the sausage panini with butter garlic spread and it was over dry with no real flavor. We wanted to try the gelato but lost our appetite. We do not recommend this place and will not be going back.
New York style Italian food, pizza, and gelato. Thank you John excellent! Star you spoiled me with great service I will be back for more food and service. :-)
This place was recommended to us by a local while we were in town for a soccer tournament! We called and asked if we could place an order and pick it up a little bit after they closed due to our late game. They were more than willing to accommodate us! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was outstanding! The homemade fettuccine was to die for and the pizza was delicious! If I could give it 10 stars I would!
The place was fantastic! Wonderful staff and fantastic food! The Staten Island panini was fuego flames
Cute, casual and modern Italian restaurant with great food! The lemon gelato is a must! Very reasonable prices,too. We will be back!
Very good food, good service, but people who work there DONT WEAR MASKS, SHAMEI dont feel safe
The lady here was so sweet Im glad my husband stopped at this place to have salad.
A pleasant time with an out of town guest and a few local friends. Nice service. It was the servers 1st day. If she didnt know the answer, she got the answer promptly. Good food, wine and beer. We all enjoyed the early evening get together.
Food was delicious service was phenomenal great place for lunch. Second time there in a week and was wonderful just like first time.
$4.00 a scoop, a small scoop.... it was good but not THAT GOOD! They cant justify this price sorry ...
Very nice place to go to have a quick meal. You can relaxed and you dont feel like you have to rushed to eat. Excellent choice of coffees. I loved their salads and sandwiches.
Pleasantly surprised very good and I will return.
This may just be my new favorite Italian restaurant in Prescott. I have been here several times now and have always been very impressed with both the food and the service. Today we had the lasagna and the penne alla vodka. Both were delicious. The serving sizes for both were enough to take some home. Just add a salad and we will have another whole meal. Our server was attentive without being annoying. And definitely save room for some of their fabulous gelato. The mango pineapple was sweet and refreshing and the banana chocolate chip was smooth and flavorful. I highly recommend this quaint little restaurant.
Stopped in for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised! The food was fantastic and their gelato was even better! Extremely fast and friendly service too. I will be back for sure!
Stopped by on a whim and because they served gelato. The food was much better than expected. Pretty good menuPrices were competitiveStaff was professional and friendly. We will stop again whenever we are in the ares.
This is our 3rd visit coming from Phoenix. The food is always delicious! Baked ziti, tortellini, fettuccine alfredo and of course gelato! We found it by chance and keep coming back.
Great food that is cooked to order. They make their own sauces and each one was tasty. The portions are generous but save room for the homemade gellato.
Chef John is great and food was excellent!! .... oh and house made gelato!!!
Very good food, at a reasonable price! Good service as well, an all around great experience.
Great food. Excellent service. New to the area and was nice to find something so close.
Absolutely the best pizza in Prescott! Perfect from the crust to the mushroom topping and all the layers of Italian heaven in between.
Great authentic Italian pizza! Love this place!
Just had dinner and it was delicious!! The seafood special was to die for. And of course the pizza is the best around hands down! Service is also very nice.🍕❤
Been a few times, ordering different items and everything is great! Staff is fantastic, super attentive and friendly. Love getting gelato and sampling all the new flavors. Great place to visit!
We went for lunch. The food was good but not great. Very little on the menu for vegetarians. We had the Fresca Antipasto and the Park Avenue pizza. The pizza badly needed salt. Both of us were raised in an Italian household and just expected something more based on all the glowing reviews.
Really cute cafe! Superb service! The Central Park sale was huge and a treat. My coffee was hot and robust. They also serve Pacinos and other entrees! Give them a try, you wont be disappointed!
Service was excellent. Food was out fast and tasted great. Will be returning when in town!
Food is always great. Reasonable prices. Service was excellent.
I love this place! Best kept secret in Prescott.!! If you crave Italian this is your spot, lunch and dinner. The meat balls and Italian gravy, hmmmm the best. Bread is made fresh daily, salads are fresh and delicioso. Gelato, just like Sicily,creamy, lots of flavors and too poor! Go try this place, not much seating so get there early and prepare for a taste of home!
Great food
First of all, I can judge food as I managed a Greek restaurant, and worked in several food joints throughout my life. We moved to Cottonwood, Arizona 2 years ago, and we recently found this place a few months ago. It is in a half full shopping center, and I assumed that it would be mediocre. WRONG!!!! This place may be the best Italian food I have had since living here. Vicki had a delicious food pizza,Unbelievable and I had the ziti., The people are sweet. They are from Queens, N Y., and I wish we didnt have to drive one hour to eat there. Great prices too. Try the gelato.... wonderful!Steve & Vicki
This is another great Italian restaurant in Prescott, and also a Gelatoria. The gelato is delicious and a great number flavors to choose from. The pizza is gorgeous and scrumptious. The service is wonderful and the owners are amazingly sweet. Please go and enjoy, youll love it.
Delicious food. Had my first canoli! So good! Our new favorite restaurant. Thin crust pizza is the best.
Good food. Had the pizza and the Caesar salad. Zach did a great job!
Love this place. Delicious, fresh and great service. I wish they had sugar-free gelato, but they said they will be offering it soon.
This was a great place to eat! Loved the food and service! Plus on Saturday nights they have live music (he is absolutely amazing btw)
Great service, great food. Would recommend
Sauce was delicious. Generous portions. Nice selection of gelato.
Friendly and gracious owner, great food, best pizza weve had since we left Buffalo, NY, hands down! Meal was flawless! (Hello NY!)
Amazing food especially the lasagna. Nice atmosphere. Great prices for what you get.
Outstanding food. Small place with good service.
Family owned and operated. Very frienly and food was very, very good. Homemade fettuccine noodles and creamy alfredo sauce. Yum! My hubby had the grilled sandwich Brooklyn. No tomato or tomato sauce spread. Instead he had the oil and vinagrete. He loved it as I stole half of his red pepper too. Ice tea was fresh and tasty, not stale and old like most other places.We enjoyed speaking to the owners as well as sampling thier homemade jellatos. Oh so good we got some to go.
Excellent food. Good friendly service. Fettuccine Alfredo the best. Homemade pasta, and great gelato.
Great salads and the Queens panini is so delicious! Great service!
Small little place with the best pizza Ive found in the area by far. The owners are very nice people and the service is great.
Wonderful homemade fettuccine and meatballs. Pizza is New York style and some of the best you will find in Prescott.
Great place for lunch. Delicious salads and great service!
Cant say enough good things about this place. Excellent paninis, very good pizza and the best gelato Ive ever had. Very friendly staff and always clean and welcoming.
Great food and fast if you need a quick lunch.
Amazing food. Cool environment. Great prices! Must try!
Food is always amazing. The best owners and staff....Happy 4th Anniversary.
Great place to grab a nice salad. I have been here 2 times and love it.If they have a place in PV I would go a lot more.keep up the great food.
Everything weve tried has been delicious! Love this place!
They make the best gelato, and fabulous handmade pizza. The best in Prescott!!

Good food! Good service! Just an all around pleasant experience.👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Outstanding food, presentation, and customer service! My family and I enjoy our time at Fresca and look forward to each visit! The prosciutto is my favorite! :0)
Dont let the area fool. Its worth the out of place price plus some.
