Fresco Veloce menu
Owned by Lucas Palmeira and Carl Kjerrumgaard, Fresco Velcoe served classic Italian pastas made with freshly made noodles, a rarity for quick-service Italian spots. The concept was inspired by a trip to Italy made by the founders.
Beyond pastas, Fresco Veloce served antipasti plates and bright bruschetta, plus cannoli chips for dessert.
The owners suggested that Fresco Veloce could return elsewhere but didn’t share those plans in the closing post.
