This restaurant is only open a few hours a day and would make a great date spot. You have two choices of ambiance – indoors which is dimmer and sensual, or the bright outdoors with patio seating right by the trees and creek!
The food was amazing! From favorite to least:
Live Mussels – 12/10 very zesty, and the broth was fresh and herby with shallots, thyme, garlic, parsley. We dipped the seafood from our entrees into the leftover broth for the acidity and flavor!
Stuffed Portabello Mushroom – 10/10 there were so many ingredients in this dish it was almost comical but it all worked together very well! Portobello mushroom stuffed with ricotta(?), blue cheese, lump crab meat, topped with chives and lemon zest, with pesto and balsamic vinegar sauces LOL. So much going on but very good. Bacon was a bit salty in this ensemble though.
Fettuccine a la Verona – 10/10 light and fettuccine is in a fresh seafood broth. Plump springy prawns with burrata and has a good ratio of vegetables (artichoke, spinach, lions mane mushroom)
Wild Alaskan Salmon Penne – 9/10 very indulgent with bacon, pesto, caramelized onions and lions mane mushroom under melted cheese. Salmon was fresh but felt under-seasoned on its own. I loved the mushrooms but I didn’t love the dry/hard melted cheese on top.
Chicken Parmigiana – 8/10 tomato sauce is very fragrant. A bit bland otherwise.
All entrees came with a soft crumbly bread that I only enjoyed with the mussels broth.
Lovely server and restaurant! Charming location. Big portions, we took leftovers.

Fresco Café is absolutely amazing! We were promptly seated by our host upon arriving for our reservation, and they gave my friend and me the cutest little balcony table right over the water. It was absolutely delightful and so tranquil — the atmosphere here is truly top notch.
While this visit was just a friend date, this would definitely be a romantic spot, too! The service was wonderful. I wish I remembered our server’s name because she was fantastic — warm, attentive, and so knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine list. Her wine recommendation was spot-on.
We started with the shrimp appetizer, which was the perfect way to kick off our meal. For my entrée, I had the lasagna — delicious! We ended on a sweet note with the Italian cheesecake, which was heavenly.
I’ve already booked my next reservation! This is hands-down some of the best food in Bozeman.

Got the wild Alaskan salmon pesto penne. Salmon was dyed and previously frozen. It was so blatantly obvious from the neon red color and rubbery texture. “Caramelized and grilled” does not mean bright red and chewy. Tasted “fishy”, not in a good way. My friend got the cavatappi which is supposedly “local grain”. One would assume this means it was made in house? It was boxed. I eat enough to know. The consistent thickness and factory texture was prevalent. Service was mediocre. Not worth the price for food or experience.

We had an amazing experience here last night! Our waitress was incredibly knowledgeable and did such a great job describing both the wine and the food specials, which made choosing easy and exciting. The restaurant itself is cozy and intimate—perfect for a relaxed night out. The food was incredible and absolutely lived up to our expectations, and the wine special was just as impressive. We’ll definitely be back!

Food: Food was good! Came out quick which is always nice! The Chicken Parmesan was good especially the actual chicken but the sauce was basic and tasted kind of bland. Spaghetti bolognese was really good!! Just wish there was a little more sauce.
Service: Server was very friendly and attentive. She was very well versed in the menu.
Atmosphere: Very dark and romantic setting. Has nice candles and quiet vibe.

We have spent many special occasions here and have always been so pleased! The service, food, and intimate atmosphere always impress. We have had Michelle multiple times as our server and appreciate her friendly and respectful approach! We hope for many special dinners to come at Fresco.

Tucked off the road in a cute blocked room is a great Italian spot in Bozeman.
I have been meaning to go here for years and have always stuck with a different option. I’m glad to now have this on the rotation and will be back.
Next time I will be trying the chicken parmesan but the homemade pasta was great as was the bruschetta.
A nice spot worth the visit.

We made dinner reservations for my husband’s birthday on Saturday evening, what a wonderful time we had! The service was excellent and the food was delicious! We split a bottle of wine, enjoyed the CROUTE aux FROMAGE as an appetizer, Spaghetti Carbonara & Chicken Parmigiana. The server also brought us Tiramisu I highly recommend Fresco. It was the perfect date night/Birthday!

What an amazing meal the best carbonara I’ve ever had! And the gelato was so fresh and tasty as well. Came here as a recommendation from a local and couldn’t be happier! A little pricey but way worth it and we were celebrating the end of our trip. Best meal we had the entire time!
