For those always in search of something better than the average sandwich chain, Fresco on the Go is for you. An offshoot of the casually upscale Fresco by Scotto, this midtown eatery is like a chic cafeteria for the media-industry-heavy crowds. For those pressed for time, this gourmet take-out may be a bit more expensive than a Cosi or Café Metro, but the incremental difference is outweighed by the quality of the food—as evidenced by the lunch lines.

The menu includes both traditional Italian and Italian-American dishes and changes seasonally. Antipasti includes platters of cured meats, calamari and vegetables, fresh mozzarella and its popular potato and zucchini chips with gorgonzola; mains include risotto, pasta, burgers and sandwiches.
