First visit, date night with my wife. If I had to sum up our experience in one word, it would be "fantastic." We started with the house made fresh bread basket with goat cheese. Absolutely delightful. I had the rack of lamb with mixed vegetables and it was simply stunning. Perfectly cooked and seasoned from first bite to the last. My wife ordered the beet ravioli, and she could not stop from raving about the dish. From the in-house made pasta to the silky goat cheese... devine. We will definitely be going back and I can only encourage others. Fine dining, local business, relaxed atmosphere. -Added some more food pics.

My inner foodie had an orgasm over this food. From one bite to the next, from our amazing server, Katie, to the owner, Lisa, visiting the tables, this place is a fabulous mix of down to earth and high class. The bread basket is a must and we thoroughly enjoyed the melt-in-your-mouth lamb and the campanelle pasta (omg, the sauce). 6/5 stars and we can't wait to come back next time we're in town!

All pasta and desserts are made in the restaurant! Eat dessert first!!! Hehe. The menu rotates seasonally. EVERYTHING is delicious. The Ribeye Steak was exactly medium rare. Lamb dishes are savory too. The crab and mushroom savory cheesecake is a must for an appetizer. The stuffed shrimp with crab and asparagus risotto was perfectly cooked. The salmon was wonderful too. The flour less chocolate cake, seasonal cheese cakes, tiramisu and the spumoni bombe are the perfect sweet ending to a delightful dinner. The Bombe is similar to a chocolate cover cherry without the artifical color. They had an Easter Brunch that required reservations. All there reservation required meals have been sooo delicious! The Pasta Omasake...don't miss this monthly event!!! Highly recommend every special occasion event. There are Prom specials too. Make reservations and enjoy your holiday meal here. The staff is sooo nice and friendly also. Support your local business and save gas and dine in Lilburn at Fresca.

Overall: some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had. (Coming from a guy who has been to Italy 4 times) Highlights: garlic and artichoke pizza is outstanding! Also, crab and mushroom cheesecake is a must-have appetizer. Service: Katie and Emma were outstanding Top 3 suggestions: 1) serve the crab cheesecake app hot 2) add some olive oil to shrimp pizza crust (will complement the pesto) 3) don’t charge a customer 1 for a second small plate of bread wafers for the appetizer; total cost... 20 cents? But keeping the customer happy and loyal is priceless. Eat this tiny cost. Otherwise they leave digesting being charged for such a petty ask. Outstanding experience and will definitely be back when I return to Atlanta!

Planned a private dinner for a party of 28 with one of the owners, Lisa. She was fantastic. Gave her the budget, and she put together a menu and delivered above our expectations. Wonderful dinner and experience. We had a great time at the restaurant and the staff were excellent

Fresca Trattoria in Stone Mountain is an amazing spot. Everything is prepared fresh daily, and you can really taste the quality in every dish. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is top-notch. I had the Crab & Wild Mushroom Cheesecake as a starter, and it was incredible—perfectly balanced with great flavors. The Sundried Tomato Bites were also a hit—small but packed with taste. The Pumpkin Ravioli was creamy and comforting, with a delicious seasonal touch. For the main course, the Stuffed Veal Chop was tender and juicy, full of rich flavor. The Lombardy Pizza had the perfect thin crust, topped with fresh ingredients. To finish, the Tiramisu and Spumoni Bombe were the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. If you're looking for fresh, handmade dishes and excellent service, you have to check out Fresca Trattoria!

This was my first visit to Fresca, and it was absolutely amazing! This is a truly authentic Italian restaurant. I wasn’t familiar with the menu, so I called ahead, and the team provided a great overview, which made me even more excited to visit. When I arrived, they remembered me from the call, and their service was incredibly warm and personal—I truly felt like a VIP. My fiance and I were just looking for a simple dinner spot, but the experience exceeded our expectations. The staff was outstanding, and the food was exceptional. The fresh homemade bread and pasta were phenomenal—everything was perfect. The service was some of the best I’ve had in a long time, and I’m so grateful for the hospitality. Even the bathroom was spotless, which is always a great sign. We will definitely be coming back!

We just moved to Lilburn and went here for lunch and it was absolutely fantastic. The dining space is spacious and very elegant. Service was phenomenal and our waitress was polite and had a sense of urgency when we needed anything. The food was beyond amazing. Everything was fresh and delicious. The focaccia is fantastic and the pizza is a must! You can really tell they make everything in house and take their time to perfect each dish. Cannot wait to go back for a dinner next time.
