Tell Us About Fresca Pizza and Pasta and why you started it. Our business, Fresca Pizza and Pasta, is a dream come true for us. We’ve always wanted to serve traditional Italian casual food in a welcoming atmosphere where customers become friends, and hopefully, repeat customers. Our employees are family. We all have a passion for fresh ingredients and our prized wood-fire Neapolitan brick oven gives a special touch to everything we cook.

What is your favorite spot in Marblehead, and why? Being originally from Brazil, the beach! Our favorite beach spot in Marblehead is Devereux Beach. It’s the perfect place to just sit and relax, with a delicious Frescarita (a margherita pizza), of course!
What is something people would be surprised to learn about you? Not too many surprises, but we like to relax with our two American Staffordshire terriers on the couch after a long day at the restaurant, with a delicious homemade cannoli.
