Trattoria Fresco - Ross

I recommend you not come here if you plan on bringing children. The restaurant is not family friendly.The manager became rude when learning that some in our reservation were children to the point that we didn’t feel welcome (tossing silverware around mumbling to himself). There was no one else in the restaurant! He ultimately told us to eat at the pizza parlor across the road. No thanks. Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly at all

I took my girlfriend out for Valentine's day and was very happy to get reservations the day before, Neither of us had been there before and it got great reviews. The restaurant was very nice, and exactly what I wanted for our special night and the atmosphere, service and quality of food lived up to the reviews. It was quaint, quiet, seating perhaps 25 guests. Service was great , food was delicious, and we had a very nice dinner and I would recommend them wholeheartedlyThe only things I can say that were negative were the parking. Ross has parking spaces in a very limited supply in that area which is not the restaurants fault.The other was the cost, the reviews on line gave out of 5. I did not want the price of our meal to put a damper on our evening, so I was not caught unprepared when the bill came. I have no problem spending money taking my girlfriend out, , but in this case the cost would make me think twice before returning again. Let me explain We were having a romantic dinner we shared a salad, and after dinner a wonderful dessert with coffees. She had a glass of wine , I had a beer, with our dinners ,all said and done with tax and tip was 150. Like I said everything was great , just a bit pricey for Italian food for 2 people. Keeping in mind the cost of living has gone up the last 3 years , and we are in Marin, plus being Valentine's Day all played a part in the overall cost. I am glad to see places to dine out are still out there trying to make it after COVID shut so many down .Go try the place out ,eat, drink and make merriment. Decide for yourself if the bang is worth the bucks you spend. Parking: Evening after 530 pm parking is not as bad.

Quaint restaurant very reminiscent of trattorias in Italy. Owner//chef greets his guests at their table (a nice touch. Interesting and diverse menu. Large wine list of Italian vintages.

Thou shalt not find better pasta. This is a one-man show, so be a respectful customer and you will have a wonderful experience!!

Mouth watering pastas and unique pinsas as authentic as anything you can find in Italy. Dining at Fresco feels and tastes like being transported into a real Italian Trattoria, something unique to Marin. Be sure to make reservations and try the homemade deserts, too! Veramente buonissimo!
