Cafe Fresco Center City Reviews
Great experience
Had a nice light dinner at Cafe Fresco in downtown Harrisburg. It's a cool spot with a good vibe. The staff and our waitress were super friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. The appetizers were a highlight, really delicious, and the pizza was solid too, though not quite as memorable as the starters. Overall a great spot for a relaxed dinner.
4pm/Thursday had a CLIPP coupon for $30, Bartender was great, service was quick as I got it to go. Order the Cobb salad w salmon. Wow, huge disappointment with a 3.17 ounce piece of salmon. Why do you give larger portions when one dines in?

Cafe Fresco Center City provides a warm and friendly atmosphere with excellent service from staff like Natalya and Ken. The food is fresh, flavorful, and served in generous portions, including dishes such as karaage, Thai lettuce wraps, Mongolian Braised Short Rib, and Ahi Tuna. The dim sum menu is not to be missed, offering options for both vegetarians and meat lovers. Customers have praised the quality of the shareable apps, which are comparable to high-end restaurants. The short rib has received special praise, along with the key lime dessert and wagyu sliders, all noted for their delicious taste. The Valentine's specials, especially the rib eye and red snapper, have been described as some of the best meals ever had at the restaurant. The bar is also highly recommended, with the makers mark sour being a highlight. While the restaurant can be cold and noisy, the exceptional service, tasty dishes, and inviting space make it a great choice, especially on a cold night. Prices may seem high, but the two-course meals and notable sides like mashed potatoes and bok choy offer good value. Remember to ask for Ken for a delightful and satisfying meal.
