Fresco's will not be taking any reservations or call aheads during season.
We have a waitlist system, if there is not a table available when you arrive, we will put your name on the list at that time and Text you when your table is ready.
We have 2 full service bars and Togo drinks are available in St Pete Pier cups, that allow you to walk the pier with your drink.
We also have 2 waiting areas where you can stay and wait.
On the weekends, for Waterfront Dining, groups up to 4 are usually on a 15-30 min wait time, groups 5 or more can range 45min - 1 1/2 hour wait.
Inside Dining is usually available immediately.
A new area of seating is at the Pier Entrance and usually has a shorter wait time.
We hope to see you soon!

“Was one of the best lunches I have had. Moved down to Florida 22 years ago and love going out to lunch and Fresco's is number one in our book. Will be bring friends and family here. Nice service and good drinks. Thanks so much for making my day special. Oh, and love the lobster bisque, best I ever had, don't change a thing.”
“The cold lobster roll is delicious. The lobster to bread ratio was spot-on, and the fresh fruit side was a refreshing interlude between bites.”
“Taco is a high quality soft shell. Crumbles delicately with each bite. Delicious and served with your choice of one of many available sides.”
“Have you ever dreamt about food? Well be prepared to if you order this steak. Cooked to perfection, a ton of flavor and then the cheese and crispy onion strings adorning the top sealed the deal. I can't stop drooling just thinking about it. **Be sure to ask your server what drinks pair well dinner as their recommendations always make the meal even better if possible.... oh the view isn't too bad either!”
“Best meal we had during our 3 day vacation. Generous portion of seafood...the sauce was so flavorful, I was dipping my bread in it. Excellent dish. Great service from our waiter Andrew. And great location-directly on the water. Love this place and will go back!”
“We have been coming to Fresco's for a few years and it never disappoints. The food is always fresh and delish. The scallops are my favorite - these are large sea scallops cooked to perfection in the Blackened Sea Scallop dinner - must add the bacon option. The shrimp dishes are another winner - the Fresco's Bowl is amazing with lots of shrimp in amongst this flavor explosion. And the Carbonara is yet another must try - absolutely the best carbonara in the area - not too heavy with lots of flavor. Oh, and the location could not be better.”
