Our name, meaning “fresh,” inspires our creation of seasonal menus made from locally sourced ingredients from the bounty farms of Iowa.

The culinary team prepares product from start to finish, applying natural, time honored techniques with care at every step. Fresko features a splendid assortment of original cocktails with a deep spirits menu and a b**r program with sixteen b**rs on tap, in addition to bottles and cans. Fresko's w**e menu focuses on quality selections at a great value to our guests. Happy Hour is 4-6 pm Monday through Friday!

Sometimes, you just have to take a second… and look at the city that keeps showing up for you. 🤍

Des Moines, you SOLD US OUT, we have no more tickets left for the DSM Girl Dinner! 🥹

Every seat filled starts with someone saying, “Let’s go together.” A friend invited. A plan made. Another memory waiting to happen around our table.

Thank you for bringing your people, sharing our events, and making Fresko part of your lives. We put our hearts into bringing people together, and you keep reminding us why.

We love you, DSM. 🫶

From Katie Wiklund |

“ To our featured chefs and mixologists | From my soul, I thank all of you.

For stepping outside of your comfort zones, for some going back to their old chef roots, breaking the traditions, and creating something new.

I couldn’t have done any of this without each and every one of you saying yes and putting your all into this dinner series. 💚

To DSM | My goal is to create community.

One that allows chefs and mixologists to be who they truly are with their food and cocktails.

And one that also allows women to step away from their busy everyday life and enjoy what Des Moines has to offer. As a single mom I understand it’s hard to go to every restaurant, to have time with your bestie, to have time for yourself. This was meant for you. To be able to have it all in one night. 🫶

We hope you can make it to enjoy an unforgettable night of culinary wonder and exploration. ✨”

Happy Monday DSM!

We are just days away from launching our new “Better Together” beverage program. Our bartenders can’t wait to show you what they created just for you!

We want to first say CONGRATULATIONS to Jenna Young for becoming our new bar lead here at Fresko! She has worked hard and has done a phenomenal job behind the bar! 👏🎉

Jenna made C is for Cookie-tini because she knows we are all just kids at heart. She chose Ronald McDonald House as her charity because she believes every family should have a home during hard times. Especially when a child becomes ill.

For every C is for Cookie-tini sold, Fresko is giving 5% per cocktail back to Ronald McDonald House Central Iowa so we can help families worry about one less thing.

This isn’t the only cocktail either. We are working with multiple charities and local distilleries such as Cedar Ridge Distillery and Revelton Distillery to help make a change and bring Des Moines together in a whole new way!

If you don’t have time to sit at Fresko, don’t worry we understand. We also offer our cocktails canned and ready to take home!

Follow FreskoDSM and see what changes we make here in DSM. 🫶
