March 2023: We were visiting friends in Carlsbad and were looking online for a nice place to take them to dinner. 264 Fresco was close to their hotel and looked very attractive, especially the upstairs terrace with fire pit. We wanted something nice, even upscale,...with good vegetarian options. Although we made our reservation for upstairs, it was very cold & windy that night. They were very accommodating in moving us downstairs, which was quite crowded (noisy!) but at least warm. They have a comfortable outdoor section along one side of the building, and a big tent outside too, which we suspect went up during the pandemic and will be temporary. I was looking forward to their wood-fired pizza and was disappointed that it was the flimsy type where when you lift up a slice all the toppings slide off. But another found the eggplant parmesan absolutely delicious and we deemed the evening a success. They serve breakfast too, which must be especially nice as they are close to the ocean and the neighborhood is lively with dog-walkers, joggers and other healthy sorts. Reserve in advance for dinner!More
