Your Average Pianist
Very nice atmosphere with very attentive and knowledgable wait staff. Buretta was absolutely delicious, would recommend to all parties coming here. Risotto a little too firm for my liking, but catch of the day (trout) was decent. Delicious sorbet to finish things up. Bathrooms very clean, and I was very happy with my experience dining in.

My family of 3 dined here on a recent work trip to downtown Birmingham. It was a 90 minute wait for a table, but we gave the bar a try. The seating situation was a little awkward for our 9 year old, but our sweet bartender did an amazing job of helping us to feel welcome and at home. We shared a pizza and a few side. Our bartender fixed me an amazing drink, but I cannot remember the name. I wish my area had a Le Fresca! I loved everything about this place and again one day! If you love Italian cuisine, eat here!

This restaurant has everything! The atmosphere is very nice for date night but not stuffy. We ate with a large group and tried many different choices and everything was amazing. The menu has true traditional/classic Italian choices. I definitely recommend the saffron risotto and I loved the Tuna collar. Our waiter, Kyle, knew everything and helped us pick out the best wine.

About as authentic as you can get when it comes to northern Italian cuisine. You really cannot go wrong with anything you select from the menu. Our server recommended a great glass of wine and guided us to the perfect entree selections to go with it. Can’t wait to go back!

Really enjoyed the intimate setting at Lé Fresca during our visit. We came in around 3 on a Tuesday. Brody was our server. We started with wine and an old fashioned. I tried their salad which was very good. We had the catch of the day, also, for a starter which was red snapper. I then tried the risotto dish and my date had the linguine dish. We enjoyed both a lot. We finished with the olive oil pound cake and tiramisu. Overall this visit was so pleasant from start to finish. Really enjoyed the genuine Italian dishes. The restaurant has a dark ambiance but it’s perfect. Clean restrooms and very friendly staff.

First I have to say Tiramisutastic!! That’s a two thumbs up Tiramisu! The porkchop was fabulous and paired well with the sliced potatoes and cooked greens! You can’t go wrong with this place! Thank You Marco!

The menu in the restaurant had little resemblance to the menu shown on the website. The excuse was that it was Google’s fault. I ordered a bottle of wine. I was told that they were out of that particular bottle because it was very popular. I picked another and asked if it were dry. I was told that it was very dry. It was quite sweet. I ordered risotto. It was crunchy. My wife ordered a pasta dish. She couldn’t eat it because it had a strong chemical taste. They took off the charge for her pasta dish. The restaurant was very loud. Overall a less than mediocre experience.

Absolutely love this restaurant. The Italian food here is authentic and probably the best I’ve had before. If you want a real taste of Italy, you need to come here. I highly recommend their spaghetti and their tiramisu. So yum. The atmosphere of the restaurant is very nice too and the staff are so friendly and helpful. You can tell the waiters and waitresses are treated well here too and love their job.

Oh my! Where do I start with this place. Everything from the minute you walk in the door is incredible. We were seated promptly. The service was unbeatable. The food tasted like it was straight from heaven. If you gave the pork chop a dirty look it gals off the bone. Dessert was also over the top.
