Dinner Menu

AFFRESCO Pizzeria/Lounge offers an Italian-American menu with Sicilian roots. We serve premium fresh ingredients. Our fish are never frozen. Neither are our meats or our poultry. In fact, we believe freezers are for gelato and sorbetto. Ours is imported from Italy – it’s delicious. Our sauces and dressings are all homemade. We make fresh pastas and cheeses, pizza dough and really everything every day. And isn’t that the point? We believe in family. We’d like you to be part of ours. So you can expect the same quality, fresh, homemade items you would serve in your own home. At AFFRESCO Pizzeria/Lounge everything is special. Today’s menu will be different tomorrow. Our menu changes as needed to ensure that you get the very best in seasonal cuisine. Sergio Lazzara
