I love this place. How long has it been here? How many times have I walked by? Why did I never look at their menu? I don’t have the answers to these questions. I sincerely apologize for not coming sooner. The food was fantastic and the staff were super friendly. Prices were reasonable. The location is perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the patio enjoying our food by the canal. Unfortunately people who live in Indianapolis do not see the canal as a destination for food. That needs to change. I wish we had more restaurants along the canal so that people would see it as a dining destination. I think Fresco gets the majority of its business from people who just happen to walk by while walking the canal. I think I may have stopped by sooner if they had a sign right by the canal with their menu on it. I didn’t even know what they sold. I also think the sign at the top of the stairs needs to be bigger too.

Cute little café on the Canal. Easily accommodated our party of 7 on a Friday afternoon.
Gondola rides available just outside.
The kids loved their pizza – and they can be pizza critics! Those who had sandwiches (chicken parm, meatball, Tuscan Tuna) enjoyed those, as well. A half might not be quite enough without a side or dessert.

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!

We had been planning on going here for quite some time so we made it a must do. after a weekend in cincinati ohio we drove back to indy and stopped in. it was the perfect time a sunny sunday eve. the canal was busy swan paddle boats going up and down the canal and the option to get a Venetian Gondola boat ride was interesting. we popped in ordered our food without to much of a wait. was still busy i ordered the spaghetti with meatballs and a cold beer. my wife had the meatball sub and a glass of wine. price was well within reason food was good no fine italian but good. we enjoyed our time sitting outside taking it all in and enjoying our food. we will be doing this again real soon..

Very small inside area, lovely patio with a dedicated side for our furry members (dogs).
Flatbread pizza was pretty darn good. More than I could eat but I don’t think it’s enough for two people. The subs were good. The bread was nothing special, but the meat and cheese and sauce was good.
It seemed a little pricey, but maybe that’s because it’s on the canal.

One of the best place I’ve eaten at coming to idea I highly recommend and it’s worth the money not the maintain it’s unique spaghetti dish. One of the places that come with a singalong ride on a boat 10/10 homemade pizza make sure to try the Italian soda comes in all flavors just ask.

Lovely area to walk in and we stopped here for a refresh and snack. The red pepper dip was fantastic and lemonade was fresh. Perfect seating area in the shade to enjoy the weather and 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.

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!!

The food was good but not at all what I think of when I choose Italian. It resembles much more of a sandwich deli. The server was very pleasant though. Very friendly. The outside atmosphere is better but the cafe again missed the mark to match the canal. Overall if I was in the area for lunch, I might would stop again but I wouldn’t go out of my way. Also parking was a tad bit confusing. You have to find street parking. I was originally sent to an abandoned parking lot.
