It’s OK, but for overpriced at $10. Tuscan is much better.

@Zach- Yes, Fresco does have a salad station where you choose your own ingredients, so I guess it might be closer to a “generic” place than I would admit. But it’s better. Really. Much better. And much more expensive. BUT, you might catch a glimpse of Rosanna Scotto (a MILF if there ever was one) or one of her hot sisters. You ain’t seeing THAT at a Pax!

If you want crunch in a chicken parm alternative the Cafe Duke flatbread parm, finished in the open flame oven, has lots of that. La Bellaza remains the standard, even though they may have slipped a little, but the flatbread parm at Duke is a nice change once in a while. The guys in my office order a round of parms fairly often. I think we may have to try this one sometime.

@pigiron – Sorry, I guess I should have said “upscale generic Midtown deli” !

:-)

(I just use that term for all the places in Midtown that serve the classic soup/salad/sandwich/hot food thing you see everywhere. Although they don’t have a by the pound buffet… so maybe you’re right. Do they have a “make your own salad bar?” Because that’s the kiss of death…)

Fresco on the Go doesn’t resemble a “generic midtown deli” in any way. They have excellent, carefully crafter food that comes out of the kitchen of a top-flight restaurant. Everything is fantastic, even their breakfast sandwiches. The only reason I don’t eat there more often is because it’s REALLY freakin expensive.

I think there’s a Fresco on the Go down here, too. That looks interesting but I’m leaning towards your minuses – I really like contrasting textures in my food.
