The restaurant is in a beautiful old building in a gorgeous neighborhood. The building is old but has been restored inside to be modern and the neighborhood is the residential area between the zoo and Crosstown. There's 4 main areas where you can sit: inside in the dining room, on the patio in the front, in the back garden at the tables outside, or in the back patio that's been closed in. The service is outstanding. Every time I've been, the staff is super friendly and quick. The food is next level. Everything is so fresh and vibrant and is even plated beautifully. The drinks are also great. I don't drink alcohol but there's an excellent selection of mocktails. The restaurant is one of the best quality and most romantic places in Memphis IMO. read more

My friend and I were taken out to Ecco by our husbands to celebrate our recent education achievements. We were seated in the garden room which was absolutely beautiful! I was worried it may be a bit warm, but we were very comfortable. The service was impeccable; I wish I could remember the name of our waitress because she was lovely! We received a complimentary glass of champagne to toast to ur celebration which was a great way to start the evening. The food for the most part was very tasty. The steak in particular was to die for! The mussels were also incredible. The pasta dishes were ok, but the goat cheese ravioli was a bit bland and oily. The rigatoni alla vodka was a bit spicer than I expected, but it was still good! The desserts were, of course, delicious. All and all I recommend Ecco! Pro tip: the bathrooms here are VERY clean and comfortable, and single stall! read more

Ecco in Midtown Atlanta is truly a gem! I had the pleasure of dining here with colleagues and friends, and I can confidently say it was a superb experience from start to finish. The ambiance perfectly blends Mediterranean and Italian influences, making for a warm and inviting atmosphere. The stellar customer service deserves a special mention--our server was knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring that our evening flowed seamlessly. As for the food, I was particularly impressed with the charred cod served with nduja carrots; it was a delightful combination of flavors that left me craving more. To top it all off, we sampled four desserts, each one a masterpiece. The bread pudding was rich and comforting, while the dark chocolate silk was decadently smooth. However, my absolute favorite was the brûlée lemon tart, which offered a perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. Overall, Ecco is a must-visit for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in Midtown Atlanta. I can't wait to return! read more

The outside dining area is so nice and it has fans that blow to keep you cool. All of our food was delicious. Our service was great. I recommend the meatballs for an appetizer. There is street parking. read more

I have been here for many years. The foods are always spot on! Most dishes the flavor, profile, and texture are to perfection. The beef stroganoff is very salty. Maybe it is just me! The tiramisu is on the denser side. But the crab claws is a must have! The service is usually very fast and attentive! Kevin is great! The place can be very loud and the do have outdoor sitting. read more

Massive bummer. Came back for our engagement celebration and the garden room had a whole table full of people, loud people. I'd advise against reserving there if you're noise sensitive like me. Inside is better and they had a guitarist playing ambient music. I asked the waitress if she can do anything about it, which of course it's fine if they can't. It's just the attitude of the waitress upset me when she told me "I can't do anything about people's volume" smiling at the same time. Not even "I'm sorry about the noise." Just rubbed me the wrong way. Or at least could i be seated inside because it wasn't busy that day and I didn't see any reservation signs either. Idk it was just miserable for me, won't choose that room ever again. Need acoustic panels or something. Also the food. I got the beef tenderloin; which was small. I don't care about the meat quality of a tenderloin. You can make it tastes as great as a ribeye with proper cooking techniques. Having it be almost $50 with potatoes and brussel sprouts makes me really ponder why the meat is marketed that expensive. I may give it another go in the far future. Sit inside, see what's new on the menu. I've had their seafood pasta for Valentine's Day and I still think about it. I even had my college graduation here. I'm giving it two stars because I don't have the heart to give it a 1 star from my past experiences. I know my triggers are my responsibility but I didn't account that a party of 12 could possibly be seated there. read more

Server was great. Food was meh - the beef stroganoff tasted like liquid smoke. We had heard good things and decided to make a reservation for a Friday evening. We were placed in the back enclosed garden area. The AC was blasting, the windows were crusty, the table was sticky and needed cleaning badly, and there were flies - not just one or two but MANY flies. Pretty darn gross. Will not return. Too bad. read more

The menu isn't vast, but they have an excellent wine selection and all day happy hour on Tuesdays. A quality selection that makes most envy. The ambience was relaxed and upscale, but surprisingly busy and louder than expected, but not offensively so retracting. Service was excellent. Reservations are advised and there is a very of seating options. read more

Service Date: Tuesday, 4 August 2026; 7:30p The Good: A non-chain (I'm assuming privately owned) restaurant with a nice character in a mid-town neighborhood. Adequately busy for a Tuesday night, but still quiet enough for a normal conversation; clientele well dressed and well mannered. The service was very good with the right amount of attention. The Bad: The Food. The Appetizer: We had the crab claw appetizer along with the main course. The claws were small (but lots of them) and "swimming" in an oil (maybe clarified butter, even when the dish cooled, the viscosity remained the same) with overpowering garlic, then an overpowering amount of parmesan. Crab has a pretty delicate flavor - the only thing my wife and I could taste is garlic with oil (butter?) soaked cheese. I tried to wipe off the overpowering oil/cheese but it didn't help much. Several, at least 1/2, of the claws were under-cooked, as the meat would not separate from the apodeme. The Main Entree: We shared the pan seared halibut. I realize the portions were split, but the total amount of halibut was smallish - I'd say maybe 7 oz - (each portion was about 2"x2"x1"). But this turned out to be plenty, as the halibut wasn't particularly warm - but was particularly dry and without seasoning. I tied using some butter from the crab claw dish, but it really didn't help. I did eat most of the portion but gave up, my wife gave up sooner. The vegetable succotash consisted of corn, carrots and blackeyed peas - which appeared to be somewhat heated from frozen and bagged; again without any seasoning. The Drinks: I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it was "happy hour" all night. Well drinks were listed at $6. The well vodka is "Rock Town", from Little Rock, Arkansas. So I decided to try a martini, up with a twist of lemon. It tasted fine (perhaps a little weak). I usually expect a little bit of ice chips in a vodka martini but they weren't in this one - I understand that this is a personal preference. The surprise was that a well vodka with nothing added other than a twist of lemon was apparently not on happy hour at $10 with a "martini upcharge" of $3; so my expected $6 drink was more than double at $13 ($18.85 with tax and gratuity). I had a glass of house wine - A to Z Pinot Noir - which is maybe a better wine than expected for a house. Apparently, house wines aren't on happy hour either - at $15. Now I understand that the bar is a high margin part of the menu, but this wine is about $17 a bottle ($22 msrp). I'm used to paying about 2x for a bottle and about 2.5x for an individual glass - so this seemed kind of high. The Bill: So for two (2) drinks (at happy hour), an appetizer and one (1) entree - the bill with taxes and gratuity was $135. Which might have been acceptable if the entree portion was a bit more generous - but more importantly if the food was excellent. Unfortunately, the food preparation was poor. Our neighbor introduced us to this Ecco a few years ago. We used to love this place and went quite a bit (with and without our neighbor) several years ago. We were looking forward to going back, but it tuned out to be a big disappointment. Our neighbor quit going there sometime ago, and tried to warn us that "it wasn't what it used to be", we should have listened to him. I considered giving a "one star", but the waiter/service and ambiance gave the bump to "two stars". read more

I love the atmosphere of this restaurant and bar very friendly staff. It is a little bit pricey, but definitely worth it. I love that. They change their menus periodically as well!! I'm looking forward to going back on a regular basis! read more

Ecco is a great local spot for contemporary fine dining. It gives hipster vibes. Very midtown. The cocktails are some of the best in town. Their mushroom pasta is always incredible. Service is great. I'll admit, I've had some undercooked lamb and some unset panna cotta here. Overall though it was always a great experience so I'll definitely be back. read more

So happy we live nearby this delicious spot! We finally made it over to ECCO on a Friday night. We were greeted and offered a table on the patio even though we didn't have a reservation. It was just about sundown and it was a lovely spot to sit and watch the dusk settle in. Our waitress was very nice and well-informed about the menu. I also loved that gluten free options were labeled already. I ordered a glass of Pinot Noir and my husband and gin & tonic. They were both great. We had the brussel sprouts for a starter and they were the perfect blend of sweet and savory with a little bit of crisp to them. I had the Honey Roasted Carrots as an entree and I did not leave a bit of it on my plate. The title of the dish may not sounds like much but the carrots, honey, pesto, and hummus combine together to create a delectable dish! My husband had a pasta dish and when it came out, he realized he should have gotten the half size. It was massive and he loved it! We boxed up half and he finished it off the next day. I can't wait to come back soon! read more

This place is always busy, if you can make a reservation, do it! We got to sit at the bar and the service was awesome. A little loud off a place I would say, but not a big deal for me.

Honest and detailed review. I've been to Ecco four times (including today) total since 2021. It's been a 50% success ratio on flavor and service. Whether they were understaffed OR the food was just bland needing flavor (salt). The two times that Ecco was good, it was really great! Today was a complete fail and I think will be my last time going to Ecco. I came in for the Hawaiian Ribeye that was advertised on their IG. It looked immaculate, I was blown away. I come in to order it, waiter told me there may only be one left. She found out it was and it was mine. So the ribeye comes out with the butter on top. Looks GOOD. I saved room and didn't eat lunch with the expectation of being blown away. I ignored the fact that the ribeye was somewhat flat. Cut into it and it is RAW. I always eat medium rare, it's the only way to eat a steak! This was RAW. The Brussel sprouts were the best thing on the plate! Actually really good. The potatoes were devoid of flavor, I couldn't even taste the parm. No salt at all. The ribeye was a pretty rubbish cut. I can go to Sam's and purchase a thick, fat ribeye for $36 dollars or a Wagyu Strip from Kroger for $30. $42 for a cut that I probably could get at Chili's. I don't ask for comps on meals. The server was great, I tipped her 25% for being so kind. I ate the food they brought back out reheated just because I was hungry. It sucks that management didn't even come out to apologize for this awful blip. I think some Memphis restaurants are comfortable because they've been here for a while. The people who come to eat food are looking for quality eats. I'm not asking for Michelin star, I've had plenty of that. Just give us the quality food AND service we know that Memphis food can provide. read more

Friends of ours had been recommending Ecco to us for what seems like forever, so I finally made reservations and we decided to give it a try last Friday. My first mistake was choosing the "garden room" for seating. This is a straight up screened in porch with no charm and horrendous acoustics. Trying to talk to each other without shouting was frustrating and not romantic in the least. Service was friendly, but extremely slow. I think we were the only table our server had out there, and she visited when she was able, which was not often, believe me. The drinks were delicious. I can't remember the name of mine but it was gin with a bunch of fruity flavors and blackberries. It was very smooth. I also really enjoyed the Stracciatella salad, though I thought it quite small for the price. My husband loved his Pork Chop with Latin accompaniments. He said it was perfectly cooked. I really like the idea of 2 sizes of pasta plates, and I chose the small plate of Puttanesca. The pasta was delightful, but I found the sauce to be nearly inedible. Rather than being loaded with capers and olives, this stuff was pure anchovies. It was not just a taste of, which is customary, but just pure anchovy forward flavor. Fortunately, the server did offer to bring me something else, and she immediately removed it from the bill. I did see some glimmers of greatness here, but it is honestly not enough to see me rushing back in. If I ever do return, I won't sit anywhere but inside! read more

Not great, but not bad either. Really appreciated the Salad Lyonnaise which isn't common on menus (reminded us of our time in Lyon)... The worst part of our meal was the service. Slow, unpredictable, unfriendly, inconsistent... The second worst was the ambiance. That little outhouse we ate in was dirty. Flies everywhere... Memphis restaurants... lemme tell you. But we did have some really good food here. I mentioned the salad. The stroganoff was tasty. Excellent bucatini and a really good mushroom pasta. They botched a risotto which is about as easy to make as any Italian dish (how do you even botch that). Overall, we wouldn't go back. But this place is popular so they don't need our patronage... read more

First walking in, it looked a little tightly packed BUT, it was just fine. It's a hidden gem near the park. Now my friend group and I had multiple dishes that we all enjoyed but I would recommend having a reservation. Along with the great service, the ambiance is a low lit, earthy atmosphere that pairs with a heavy whiskey and wine selection that gives an upscale vibe. Date night? Yes. Solo night? Yes. Coming with friends? Yes. Come. Our server was Shari was great and very attentive. Ask for her! I had quite the pleasant experience. read more

I'm a fan of the area. The evergreen community is gorgeous. Street parking is your best bet which is fine because we all could use a nice walk sometimes. The atmosphere is really cool and causal, good for a date night, friend date or some necessary alone time. the cocktails were really good and I appreciate them having a happy hour! Last but the most important , the food was great! Everything was fresh and had alot of flavor. I enjoyed everything I ordered. Of course, salt and pepper to taste as you wish.

Finally got around to visiting this midtown spot. It was a vibe and popping on a Thursday evening. Good food and greater conversations were had by all. Started off with the cheese plate and chose the Linguini Alle Cozze for my main course. The linguini was a lot more peppery than expected but the mussels were delicious. The cheesecake is a WOW.

Service was good. My small $18 Italian salad was good. My bread plate was dirty with butter or oil smeared on it.

Food and service is always top notch, great cocktails and wine selection, local neighborhood restaurants, definitely worth a try.

Best pasta in Memphis! Unreal choice for date night. On the pricey side but worth every dime! I ordered the burata as an appetizer & it was to die for. I got a half order of the ravioli & spaghetti as my entree. The ravioli was tender & flavorful. The spaghetti had some interesting spice that I enjoyed. Both I thought were really great takes on classic dishes. The menu changes with the season so i'll be back soon for another bite :) read more

Had an intimate dinner in the back of the restaurant . You definitely need to make reservations as it was pretty packed during midweek. The seafood pasta was really good, needed a little seasoning but it didn't skimp on the amount of seafood. More than enough to share. The salmon plate was good too, still needed a little seasoning as well but very fresh & cooked perfectly. The peach cobbler to complete our meal was soo good & a nice size. Can't wait to go back. Service was a little slow, but again they were pretty busy read more

The ambiance and food was really good. Me and my friends didn't particularly like their service. The server who was also at the front desk wasn't very welcoming to our extremely well behaved kids and made some snarky comments. All in all .. nice ambiance and food with lots of vegetarian options. read more

The 3 stars is reflective of the happy hour food choices I got: the meatballs and the ricotta stuffed salami. The salami had an off taste, and I love salami. The salami from Jimmy John's is better than the salami here. The salad that came with it had odd vegetables, like celery and carrot. The meatballs were edible but not tasty. I've made better meatballs and sauce with Rao's sauce. The tiramisu was most disappointing. It had no chocolate and hardly any coffee flavoring. Was not moist. The atmosphere at the bar is great but maybe the other items on happy hour are better. read more

Delicious Italian food served by friendly staff. The pasta servings are quite generous, so I recommend ordering the small portions unless you want to take leftovers home.

This place is really lovely. Inside and out! The atmosphere was great for a date night! We made reservations and were seated right away. Unfortunately, we waited 20 minutes for our drinks and appetizers to be taken. My husband ordered a Moscow mule and it was terrible. We inform our waiter and she was able to take it back and have it redone. Which they did and it was much better after. We ordered the craw claws. My husband thought they tasted too much of garlic, but I loved them. Wish it would've come with bread to soaked all the greasy juice. As to the food, I was not happy with it. My risotto was too dry and I hate to eat plain arugula. The prawns were dry too. It just lacked a sauce to bind everything together and more flavor. The beef stroganoff had only 3 pieces of meat. (Yes, my husband counted it) and the rest was overpowered by mushroom. It was not flavorful either. It tasted like Campbell mushroom soup. We won't be back again. But I do recommend all locals to try it and make your own choice! read more
