The only place i go as the food is great value, very tasty and loads of it. The only coffee i like as well as its hot a rarity these days. Staff are very friendly and want customers happy. I went there today where there was a misunderstanding and the server dealt with it so well and did want to charge me, but i wouldn't accept that because you get 100% service every time.

I would highly recommend Fresco, its just what we need in Castle. Went for the first time today and the food was incredible. Feels like proper authentic dishes, in a very cozy environment. I had the day's special which was Chicken and pesto bruschetta and it was so flavourful and a great portion size. I can't wait to try more of the menu.

Thoroughly enjoyable and filling English breakfast with quality ingredients. The sausages were top notch. We also had the Polish sausage with chips... Quality! The pastries and cakes looked great too but was too full... Maybe next time!

Today was the first time I've been in this new place in Newcastle, and I know I'll definitely visit it again Lovely café with a beautiful interior, cosy and warm atmosphere. You can really feel like you're in one of the Italian cafés. I've had a piece of Kinder Bueno cake, and my friend had carrot cake, and they were absolutely delicious Coffee was really nice, and the pistachio cream tea was the nicest cup of tea I've had in a very long time! I'll come back to purchase a bag of it I wish all the best to the owner and staff, lovely people. I can't wait to try other things from the menu.
