"This restaurant is only open a few hours a day and would make a great date spot. You have two choices of ambiance - indoors which is dimmer and sensual, or the bright outdoors with patio seating right by the trees and creek! The food was amazing! From favorite to least: Live Mussels - 12/10 very zesty, and the broth was fresh and herby with shallots, thyme, garlic, parsley. We dipped the seafood from our entrees into the leftover broth for the acidity and flavor! Stuffed Portabello Mushroom - 10/10 there were so many ingredients in this dish it was almost comical but it all worked together very well! Portobello mushroom stuffed with ricotta(?), blue cheese, lump crab meat, topped with chives and lemon zest, with pesto and balsamic vinegar sauces LOL. So much going on but very good. Bacon was a bit salty in this ensemble though. Fettuccine a la Verona - 10/10 light and fettuccine is in a fresh seafood broth. Plump springy prawns with burrata and has a good ratio of vegetables (artichoke, spinach, lions mane mushroom) Wild Alaskan Salmon Penne - 9/10 very indulgent with bacon, pesto, caramelized onions and lions mane mushroom under melted cheese. Salmon was fresh but felt under-seasoned on its own. I loved the mushrooms but I didn't love the dry/hard melted cheese on top. Chicken Parmigiana - 8/10 tomato sauce is very fragrant. A bit bland otherwise. All entrees came with a soft crumbly bread that I only enjoyed with the mussels broth. Lovely server and restaurant! Charming location. Big portions, we took leftovers."

"Fresco Café is absolutely amazing! We were promptly seated by our host upon arriving for our reservation, and they gave my friend and me the cutest little balcony table right over the water. It was absolutely delightful and so tranquil — the atmosphere here is truly top notch. While this visit was just a friend date, this would definitely be a romantic spot, too! The service was wonderful. I wish I remembered our server’s name because she was fantastic — warm, attentive, and so knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine list. Her wine recommendation was spot-on. We started with the shrimp appetizer, which was the perfect way to kick off our meal. For my entrée, I had the lasagna — delicious! We ended on a sweet note with the Italian cheesecake, which was heavenly. I’ve already booked my next reservation! This is hands-down some of the best food in Bozeman."

"We had an amazing experience here last night! Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable and did such a great job describing both the wine and the food specials, which made choosing easy and exciting. The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate—perfect for a relaxed night out. The food was incredible and absolutely lived up to our expectations, and the wine special was just as impressive. We’ll definitely be back!"

"Always a date night favorite. Cozy atmosphere, and amazing Italian food Pictured is the appetizer dish, bruschetta which we order every time!"

"Food: Food was good! Came out quick which is always nice! The Chicken Parmesan was good especially the actual chicken but the sauce was basic and tasted kind of bland. Spaghetti bolognese was really good!! Just wish there was a little more sauce. Service: Server was very friendly and attentive. She was very well versed in the menu. Atmosphere: Very dark and romantic setting. Has nice candles and quiet vibe."
