We stopped at this place while we had a few hours before our flight. I was caught by surprise! The ambience the food was such a sweet surprise. Our server Patricia was icing on the cake. The way she described the food had us salivating! She said the goat cheese are a must have and she loved went wrong! The braised pork pasta, she went on and on and I just had to try it! My husband had the panini, despite Patricia telling him to get the steak and was immediately regretful as the man beside us devoured his steak! Patricia thank you for your bubbly and amazing personality and great suggestions. We will be back when we fly in or out again! Ecco is a must try! read more

Airport location 10 out of 10 experience with my server, Josh. I ordered the cacio e pepe with added salmon, and the portion was so generous it easily could've been shared between two people. Some of the best airport food I've ever had. Next time, I'd likely try the steak frites. All of the staff were friendly and attentive, always willing to stop and help when needed. I had read a few reviews before coming in since I had a long layover, and I'm sorry others had different experiences, because mine was truly excellent--10 out of 10. It felt like dining at a real restaurant, which you don't always expect in an airport setting. read more

Came in right before their 10:30 close. Very friendly and accommodating, I didn't have any food but others did right up to closing. Please be-aware that there is a 18% service charge on the bills. read more

You should never have to eat food like this at a restaurant! My coworker and I had the seared salmon and the shrimp cavatelli pasta, but both meals were terrible. They arrived cold and both meals were also unappetizing. It was the worst meal I've ever had at a restaurant. I travel to Atlanta for work frequently, and I decided to have dinner before my flight, but this was the worst decision I've ever made. To top it off, I had waited for one Coke for the longest time, and it arrived after my meal. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for quality food. read more

Ecco - Seared Salmon - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Service was hit or miss. Our food came with no utensils. Everyone around us had to ask for utensils. Food came out in a reasonable time. I had the Shrimp Cavatelli dish that i thought was good. My husband ordered a panini sandwich which he said was not worth the premium price. The chips were overcooked. Beware- they add an 18% service charge so if you tip based on the circled tip cheat sheet- you will double tip. We paid airport prices for an average meal but it was a nice space to wait for our flight. read more

The Seared Salmon Salad was delicious! Served with warm bread and olive oil. Serveri was Ryan. He was friendly and just the to right amount of helpful and attentive. They provided a place to plug in my computer while I are too. Atmosphere was relaxed with jazz music playing lightly in background. A relaxing way to have lunch and spend a few hours waiting for my flight. I'll definitely come back if I'm in Terminal F in the future. All the other food options were fast food except one other. This is a Great Choice if you have time! read more

Great experience! Stopped in for some appetizers before our flight and greatly enjoyed it. Had the three meat and cheese plate and everything was delicious! Service was fantastic -- shoutout to our server Lowe for the impeccable service. Will definitely be back next time I travel through ATL. read more

Insane prices for mediocre, tepid food with even worse service. Literally heard the hostesssigh and say "whatever, I don't care" and walk away as a non-English speaking couple tried to enter the restaurant. Once we were sat, it took a solid 10 mins for anyone to acknowledge us. We asked for soda water and were told buying a bottle was cheaper than getting it from the fountain (why?) . Fries were soggy, salad had wilted pieces, prices were sky high with an 18 percent gratuity tacked on the bill for two. I don't expect 5 star dining in an airport, but Ecco is a sad excuse for a restaurant anywhere. read more

Ecco is located inside the Atlanta International Airport Terminal F Wing. Out of all the many different change restaurants that the airport has to offer this was a lovely find. While waiting for our connecting international flight to Greece we picked Ecco due to the menu having a selection of items that were food allergies friendly. We were seated in the bar area at a small table. If traveling with luggage the space can be cramped which doesn't allow for other diners to sit next to you. Our service was friendly and helpful. She was able to tell me right away how things were made without checking with the kitchen and was able to edit my dish as well. My dad got a sandwich with house chips and I decided to be different and get the fish. Not realizing that it was going to be the WHOLE fish and head. What a way to start my Mediterranean trip but with a fish watching me while I eat. Lol. Flavor wise was on point! Honestly it was delicious I was thoroughly surprised for an airport restaurant. The fish was flaky and tender, baby potatoes, asparagus with a lemon caper sauce. Honestly all the flavors tied together wonderfully and kept me full over most of my flight. All the wait staff I noticed were pleasant and helpful. The bartender was speaking to a couple and a solo traveler about how he loves to cook. Everyone was easy going which made our whole dining experience wonderful. When I go to Greece again next year I'll be sure to stop by again. read more

Ecco - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Worst experience ever. Our server took over an hour to bring our food. charged us for gratuity twice. It had an "auto gratuity" charge for 18% and an "other charge" for an additional 18%. I asked her why I am getting charged twice she said I wasn't and then took her phone out and said "let's add it up" and guess what. I WAS. On top of that the poor lady sitting next to me got her salad and didn't have silverware and the server said to her "ugh I don't know why there's never any silverware" and then NEVER came back! the lady got up ten minutes later to ask to speak to the manager. The host got her silverware and the server never came back to acknowledge the mistake or apologize. I asked for my food to go at this point cause it had been over an hour and she gave me attitude and said "sorry I'm having a bad day" I'm sorry but if you're having a bad day the professional way to deal with it is not to take it out on your guest. read more

Hidden gem offering a peaceful oasis in the midst of an overstimulating airport. I loved the food options with upper scale fresh twist, good drink menu, great music, and soft lifting. Where I was seated, they even had an easy access outlets for travelers to plug in/recharge. Moving forward when I am not on a tight connection this will be my new go-to! read more

Caveat emptor ,,, although a lovely setting and nice food please check your bill. We were seated and had a little wait for our service. Ordered a flat bread, shrimp and asparagus. Drinks took awhile but food came promptly. Unfortunately the ONE piece of bread with the shrimp was very burned (not grilled or charred) - see photo. The flatbread was excellent. The asparagus ok but a lot of sauce and not a lot of asparagus. The server never came back to check on us or follow up - someone else dropped our food. Finally we flagged them down for a second drink. So the real issue was that they charge a SERVICE FEE as part of your bill and then recommend another 22% tip. Just make sure to read your check and determine if you want to tip 40%. I think it's a pretty dirty tactic for travelers who may not see all the details while dining on the run $$$ read more

Small but powerful menu of Italian-based dishes. Very pleasant personnel. Unfortunately dishes were just not living up to expectations. Overseasoned or overcooked. No finesse in the kitchen. Nicely appointed restaurant interior given its air terminal surroundings. read more

Underrated airport meal worth the journey to F Gates during a recent long connection. The fried goat cheese is always a great choice for an appetizer. I also had the Steak Frites (12oz NY Strip) and subbed patatas bravas instead of fries. Strips aren't my usual go to, but when you put it in airport food perspective it was a pretty great and reasonably priced meal. read more

Kicking off honeymoon with what felt like an exciting find in Ecco. We had no idea this was here before this. We only got a drink and saw a bar menue but drinks were good. Vibe is similar to Ecco midtown and I assume Buckhead too. Service was slow but drinks were good. It was just a bit nerve wracking because flights look. There's some weirdness with tipping which the bartender explained to everyone but I don't remember what it was. I would go back there given the available options in the terminal. read more

Ecco - Finally honeymooning - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

For airport restaurants, this place is okay and appeared to be the best option in the international terminal. For it to be an Italian restaurant, it definitely didn't meet the bar of good Italian restaurants. It seemed to have limited options - 2 pasta dishes at an "Italian" restaurant seems odd. However I will say that the service was attentive. The server made a point to ask how long before my flight to make sure he could get me in and out as I needed. I ordered the chicken panini which was decent. The menu says it's $3 for fries but they actually charge you over $5. The fries werent worth the $5 up charge.... Note that gratuity is auto included on the tab as well as some weird service charge. read more

Ecco - The roast beef panini - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Was acknowledged while waiting to be seated so that was nice. Sat at the bar. Ordered fried goat cheese with honey and black pepper. It had too much black pepper in my taste but otherwise was really good. They add an 18% gratuity automatically so just be aware of that when you're tipping. I didn't notice it till after i left my tip, but now i know! I only had 30 minutes until boarding started and i got out of there with time to spare! The inside is tiny but has a nice vibe with cozy lighting. read more

Layover in Atlanta, hubby wanted something light to tie us over for our connecting flight. Arriving an hour before closing, only seating available was in the bar. Good ambience. Place was not too loud with the College football on TV. No choice at this point. We ordered the Pick 3 Cured Mears & cheese. We picked the Breseola cured beef's eye of round, Etorki (French) firm sheep's milk cheese & Fontina Val D'Aosta (Italy). Hearth Roasted Cauliflower making the snacks healthy. We also had an Old Fashion & glass of wine. The bartender/waitress provided good service. Overall it was not bad considering we had no other choice so late. read more

Staffing levels are down but they are doing well despite. Big bar for people travelling solo. Asked the bartender for suggestions. He said hands down, the salmon. He furthered by saying they can serve it as listed on the menu with green beans, or, substitute the green beans with a salad or french fries. He also mentioned they would prepare it anyway I'd like, seared to well done. Went with medium and it was cooked perfectly with that mildly crispy char. I also went with the beans and it was excellent. read more

Ecco - Salmon (delish!) - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Restaurant located on the upper floor of Terminal F in Atlanta International Airport. Took a bit to get seated. Eventually nestled in at the bar. Ordered a beer and roasted cauliflower. Bartender was quick with the beer. Eight drafts with two crafts amongst the selection. Full bar. Cauliflower took about half an hour. I enjoyed it. Garlic forward which I prefer. read more

This restaurant is the absolute worst option in the entire airport. While it may look "elite," it is all smoke and mirrors. I have tried to get seated at this place (seriously) no less than 12 times since Covid. During Covid they understandably had few tables and fewer servers. Well that was almost 5 years ago. They continue to offer horrendous service, often zero service/no acknowledgement, and always have a new excuse why. The 2 times I have actually been able to dine here, the food was fine. Not worth the hassle in any way. Don't believe me? Just try to get in. Save yourself time and go downstairs to Jekyll Island Seafood. read more

Shift change around 4:30 on a Saturday afternoon. A good 15 minute wait before someone took my order. Service after the shift change was a little better, but was a bit warm inside. Ordered a salad, the salmon argodolce, and pommes frites. At least a 15 minute wait before getting my order. House bread was nicely warmed up. The salmon looked dry and it was, the frites were a little soggy, but the salad was very fresh and tasty. read more

Got the salmon salad. Salmon was kinda on the saltier end. Not much greens as I'd hope. They charged me $3.99 for soda water........... I have never been charged for soda water before.... Is that even allowed? Or did I just get overcharged incorrectly. Plus 18% is already automatically added to be bill no matter your party size. I was eating solo. Server circled the tip of you want to tip them 22%-25%. It's crazy..... read more

Horrible service and dirty tables everywhere. Very rude and unfriendly and the food was horrible. Would not recommend.

Food and service were good, but we were taken back a bit by their shady tipping and receipt practices. They charge an 18% mandatory gratuity on all dine in checks. However, this is listed as OTHER on your check. Then they have the audacity to give you "suggested tip" amounts at the bottom which are based on the total check amount INCLUDING THEmMANDATORY GRATUITY! If you're not careful, you could wind up paying upwards of a 40% gratuity. read more

After a disappointing breakfast experience at nearly every available stop in Terminal F (we tried the Mexican spot, Pei Wei, and the sandwich shop--all of which were major misses), I was hopeful when I noticed Ecco Restaurant. Though it wasn't open for breakfast, it looked more upscale and promising than the surrounding food court options. So on our return trip from Cabo, with a 3-hour layover, we decided to give Ecco a shot for dinner. The food was, thankfully, a noticeable upgrade. Most of our dishes ranged from good to great, with only a few misses--so from a culinary standpoint, Ecco stands out as a better choice in Terminal F. But here's where it fell apart: the service and professionalism were shockingly bad. What stood out wasn't our food, but the chaos I observed between the wait staff and kitchen. The vibe felt more like a group of friends hanging out at someone's house than a restaurant--loud banter, joking around, and complete disregard for the guests seated just a few feet away. Even worse, what appeared to be the manager or expediter (who was dressing the plates) repeatedly scratched her head, picked at her face, and then used her bare fingers to season dishes with salt and pepper. I lost count at how many times she touched her face or hair before plating. It was truly unappetizing and incredibly unprofessional. Our server, Omar, was fast and efficient but had a tone and body language that suggested he was annoyed by any request--until it came time to drop the check. At $300 for dinner, this should have been a far more elevated experience. Ecco has potential with its menu and food quality, but the leadership needs to step in immediately to train on professionalism, hygiene, and hospitality. Otherwise, it's just a fancy-looking food court restaurant with poor execution read more

First things first, Phillip was phenomenal. He was attentive, hilarious, and honest. The fried goat cheese bites were chefs kiss. My flat bread was delicious as was my margarita. So thankful to have spent the evening with Phillip in between flights today. This company should stop charging a "service fee" and then not paying their servers the full gratuity. Other than that, a 10/10! read more

My friend and I came here to eat on our 4 hr lay over at ATL. Ecco is on the second floor of Concourse F, near The Club ATL and Delta Sky Lounge. We got here at a good time, because there was not many people and the host was right outside. Service was a bit slow but our waitress Jennifer (I think) was very sweet, fast, and funny! We got the prosciutto flat bread and Pappardelle like she recommend and they were PHENOMENAL!!! I think there was only 1 chef in the kitchen who managed all the hot food, and 1 sous chef. Kudos to the main chef, he himself managed all the food orders...must be so crazy. He was not only in charge of the restaurant food order but also the express togo line order. Somebody gives him some help! Overall our experience was great, definitely a SMART idea to eat here first before checking into the lounges. For airport food quality, Ecco was so great! The flatbread was huge and so yummy, thin, crisp, also chewy, and definitely full of flavors. And the pappardelle? WOW, it was actually one of the best I've ever had, even better than some nice Italian places in Newport Beach!! We were so happy with the Pappardelle, the raised pulled pork was just out of this world and they must've cooked it for hours and hours... the flavor was so full and rich and the pappardelle pasta was just right, chewy and al dente. I'm still dreaming of that pappardelle.. I would eat it over and over again! So good!!!!! read more

When at the Atlanta airport, there are just a couple of really good places for a sit down meal (One Flew South being the other one). Ecco was recommended by a friend so I decided to check it out for myself on a recent layover. Here's my take on the experience: Quality of food: Good. I tried their fried goat cheese balls which were just out of this world! They were served with honey and were perfectly hot and crispy and just full of goat cheesy flavor. If you love goat cheese then you must try this appetizer. For entrée, I had the Bucatini pasta. The pasta was good but a little too salty for my taste. Décor: fancy. The bar area is nice and all the servers were dressed professionally. Cleanliness: good. The tables looked clean. Service: good. All the servers were very professional and the place felt like an upper end restaurant. Price: typical for an airport. My appetizer of 6 goat cheese balls was $10 and the pasta was around $20. If you're in the mood for a nice sit-down Italian meal then checkout Ecco. It's a bit of a pain to get to but if you have a 2hr+ layover then this is certainly doable. read more

Ecco - Mediterranean Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This restaurant is in Terminal F in the Atlanta airport. It's worth the time to take the tram to F to get to it, go up to the mezzanine once there. Service is fast and very friendly. Atmosphere is a cozy nice restaurant. We had the 3 meat/cheese plate. Served on a board with prosciutto, Cana de Cabra and fontina. First bread was dry, we asked for other, it was warm & delicious. A great charcuterie overall. Next was the spiced chicken panini. A very mildly spiced chicken panini, it did have a bit of a kick from pepper. Cheese on it was very mild and not discernible. Caramelized onions added to it but I would have liked more. Great wine selection, nice beer selection. One caveat- 18% service charge , that's a tip! read more

Oh man, where do we start? Airport dining can always be hit or miss. The menu at Ecco looked convincing, so we decided to give it a try. We were seated right away, which was nice, but the table looked like it hadn't been cleaned properly--there were food stains, dirty menus, and silverware just sitting on the unclean table. We ordered the salmon and the shrimp pasta. You would laugh at how little pasta we were served--it was so small we could literally count the noodles. The pasta itself was hard and chewy, and the shrimp wasn't any better--also chewy. The salmon dish, on the other hand, came with cauliflower drenched in a rather sour-tasting sauce--an odd pairing, to say the least. Our waitress had given us complimentary bread before our meals came. Someone in my party had an egg allergy so we wanted to know what was in the bread. She was positive there were no eggs in the bread. But the person I was dining with started to get a mild allergic reaction. We had to ask another sever about the ingredients and they brought over the physical package. The waitress who was so positive the bread was fine tried to gaslight us by saying the bread was for me after she realized her mistake. She tried to make up for it by offering complimentary gelato--which, ironically, also contained eggs and a small discount on our meal. But with that automatic gratuity and fees it was still a rather expensive and disappointing meal. read more

Food not fresh. Ordered steak medium well. Had food poisoning in one hour.service was ok though.

I grabbed a quick bite here while in Concourse F of Atlanta's airport. Steve was the bartender and he asked each person for their flight time when they sat down. It was cool that he was so cognizant of people's time. I ordered the bucatini pasta with pancetta, which was delicious and perfectly filling ahead of a long flight. The only weirdness was the host way more interested in seating a couple reviewing the menu out front rather than greeting me at the host stand. Other than that, it was a pretty good airport restaurant experience at a fair price point. read more
