The Good: Frasca is undeniably GREAT! I mean, the James Beard is on the wall, hello! The services is wonderful and I appreciated the attention to my reservation. Frasca was running a little behind on having our table ready, which I was completely okay with, however, they went above and beyond by offering us complementary wine and snacks while we waited. We fell in love with the wine they offered and was given a detailed description of its origin. All of the food was FANTASTIC, but the mushroom fettuccine was INCREDIBLE! A simple dish that immediately transported me back to Italy.

The Not So Good: The ONLY reason Frasca isnt getting 5 stars from me is because after our dinner, we felt a little rushed. I know our reservation was at 8:15, however, we should have been able to really enjoy our final thoughts and not felt rushed out. After we received our final dish, we were given our check right away. I noticed other tables were offered post dinner chocolates (maybe this was with the pre fixe menu) and post dinner cocktails and coffee options. We were offered nothing, just the check. To make it even worse, once I paid, the waitress came and picked up the check in a hurry. HUGE, HUGE, HUGE pet peeve of mine and not what you would expect from a James Beard awarded restaurant. It started off great and ended on a dud, unfortunately.

Overall, great restaurant, great food, great front of the house and management, lackluster wait staff (for our experience). I would 100% give Fresca Food and Wine a second go.
