We usually visit Fresco of Smithfield and enjoyed our one experience at the East Greenwich location around 2015. This location was shockingly bad for a Fresco and general 3-star+ restaurant experience.

-- The tables were inexcusably sticky from a cheap laquer being rejuvenated from their chosen cleaning solution. Never experienced tables my arms stuck to like that.

--my first side salad was rife with rotten spring mix. That was exchanged for a replacement that I pulled 8-12 rotten pieces from. I then switched to a caesar salad which was pitiful and had watered down dressing.

--my Bolognese and ricotta rigatoni clearly contained mostly jarred sauce and was overly salty. It was primarily cheap ground beef and no pork or veal--that I could detect. It's insulting to serve jarred sauce at a restaurant like Fresco, as it's something a cheap pizza parlor would do. --the bread was mostly overbaked and ripped my gums. The bread at the other locations is usually great.

--the floors were extremely tacky from a cheap wax or improper mopping. Everyone's shoes were making a loud noise while walking.

--no lighting, bad layout and really too small for a Fresco. Odd they chose that building as it was better suited for another pizza place like Bill's.
