Fresco by Scotto Extends Run at 485 Madison for 10 More Years

Jack Resnick & Sons and the family behind Fresco by Scotto said Monday they are extending the Italian restaurant’s successful 32-year run at 485 Madison Ave. for at least another decade.  Co-founded and led for decades by family matriarch Marion Scotto, Fresco by Scotto has been a staple of Midtown Manhattan dining since 1993.

Now co-owned by Marion’s daughter Rosanna Scotto of Good Day New York fame, Fresco by Scotto is co-managed by a third generation of the family. This month, they are debuting a Saturday brunch with a live DJ and expanding their special events and catering services.

“Fresco by Scotto long ago established itself as an institution at 485 Madison and a go-to spot for Midtown’s residents, workers and visitors,” said Jonathan Resnick, president of Jack Resnick & Sons. “As a family-run firm that has been around for nearly 100 years, we understand what an achievement it is to maintain a successful business across three generations.”

Jack Resnick & Sons was represented in-house in the lease transaction by Brett Greenberg and Adam Rappaport. Ken Ruderman and Jeff Lagowitz of Savills represented Fresco by Scotto.
