Amazing food in a modest setting, it is reminiscent of dining in a neighborhood bistro in Paris. Because it is small, with tables crammed close together, it tends to be noisy during mealtimes, but the food is worth it. And the wines are lovely.

Spending Halloween at the bar at Bresca was a perfect call. The cocktails were the highlight of the night. The bartenders clearly love their craft, and the service was warm and well-paced. If you care about cocktails as much as food, Bresca's bar is a must. Highly recommended, five stars

Staff was great, french pasta is handmade and was absolutely delicious on both our plates, Short Rib Lasagna & Pappardelle. Crispy Brussel Sprouts were definitely crispy and delicious with pickled onions. The cocktails were great. We needed a good dinner our first night in town and Opaline delivered. Thank you.
