Fresco is a great idea. The food is wonderful and the service is warm and friendly.
How about something different? I LOVE having a "ladies' lunch" at the Tea Room at Takashimaya. It's the Japanese department store on 5th Ave (around 54th). Downstairs they have a tea room where they serve lovely sandwiches, salads and a daily bento box. They have dozens of varieties of tea. It is a very soothing atmosphere and the food and service are great.

Trattoria Dell 'Arte is not as loud at lunchtime. It's somewhat of a Hollywood/entertainment hangout at lunch. Another option for Italian is Remi (53 betw 6th & 7th) but a bit more $.
For an upscale treat, La Caravelle & La Cote Basque (both on 55th betw 5-6th) have prix fixe 3 course lunches for $36-38/person or Aquavit (Scandinavian-54th betw5-6th) has a $20 prix fixe lunch.

Oooohhh. I second Takashimaya. It is lovely, spare and elegant. They also have the coolest bags if you actually buy something - they are triangular. Another chick place is T-Emporium (i think) on about 23rd or so Street. They have a nice big tea with sandwiches and desserts. Also a shop above the restaurant.
