Best cafe I’ve ever been to!! The toasted ravioli was perfectly fried and melted in my mouth. The Italian turkey sandwich was both light & flavorful, perfect for a walk on the canal. By far, the best part was the pitcher of limoncello made with vodka and lemon liqueur. It was absolutely delicious, smooth, and refreshing. The gentleman running the cafe was hardworking and pleasant, and very attentive to the care of his guests. We will be back every time we hit the canal!!

Great service and very good food. The location is right on the canal. Prices are reasonable and you have the option to get in a gondola for a ride after your meal.

Very beautiful view to the canal. Highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy the canal. We tried the lemonade i’d give it a 2.5/5

This place is a hidden gem in Indianapolis. Located on the canal and connected to the Cosmopolitan apartments, you absolutely need to stop here if you’re in the area. I would go as far as to call it my “happy place” as cliche as it sounds. Since I was living at the cosmo at the time, I frequented Fresco quite often and was never disappointed. The staff are always lovely, the ambience is great, and the food is delicious. You have to try the Italian Beef sandwich and make sure you get some broth on the side! The tomato basil soup is a hit, and the homemade lemonade is excellent. The gelato, smoothies, and Italian Ice are all great options when it’s hot outside. If you’re ever craving a little taste of Italy, this is the spot to go to!

Atmosphere: 10/10 Super cute! Outdoor seating on the canal. Makes for great people-watching. Gondolas set up directly outside, for anyone interested in that experience. Inside is small, but cute.

Can’t believe we’ve never eaten here before today! Enjoyed lunch on the patio this morning with our two dogs. The flatbreads were amazing!! Their homemade tomato sauce is outstanding. We can’t wait to come back and try the other menu items!

I ordered meatballs at this visit, which to me was very tasteless. Nothing was too special about it. We did order flat bread before and I think that was much better. The smoothie was great, although could use a bit more honey to make it sweeter.

Stopped here with the family while on a visit to Indy. First time on the canal. Had the Stromboli. Delicious. Everyone loved their food.
