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

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

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

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

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. I got the mushroom pasta and it was delicious, and a great list of wine by the glass. I will be back to try more of the menu. 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

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

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

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

Great service, great people, great clientele and amazing food! Crab claws were the best that I've had. Highly recommend spot for a nice night out in Memphis. 5 Stars read more

We had a wonderful experience. Abygail took such good care of us. She is very professional and attentive. She suggested the special, spaghetti carbonara, which was amazing! We also tried the crab claws, the salmon and tiramisu. All were very delicious. And I love the vibe when we come here. Very relaxed and comfortable. I can't wait to go back! read more

Such a great meal. We started with the meatballs and cheese plate, I ordered the Italian chopped salad with salmon and my friend ordered the scallops. Both dishes were delicious. We had the cheesecake for dessert and OH MY GOD!!!! So good. What a gem in midtown Memphis!!! Please don't leave ever 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. The crab claws are fantastic. What we ordered: - Crab Claw aglio e olio - spaghetti chorizo bolognese - seafood pasta - linguini alle cozze read more

That wild mushroom pasta lives in my dreams but everything else is totally fabulous as well. This really is one of the best restaurants in midtown. We had a great night. And Kevin certainly was a part of that. His professionalism was apparent and added so much to our enjoyment. He gave recommendations for cocktails, entrees and dessert. He was attentive and even charming but didn't intrude. Amazing! read more

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

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. Order it. read more

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

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 restaurant excels at value. Full meals for three diners came in at less than $90. I'll certainly come back next time I visit the Bluff City. 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

We have eaten at Ecco several times and always enjoyed the food and service. We highly recommend it.

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

I have been to Ecco about 4-5 times before and each experience has been very different. Some good and some not so good. This most recent time, I brought my family to celebrate a birthday and was disappointed. We all felt rushed by the server, while still eating she asked if we wanted to box anything up. It felt like she was just trying to turn over the table. One dish was served about 10 mins after everyone else got their dishes. I had the pork chop dish which was overcooked (dry), and lacking flavor. The pinto bean mash was cold and bland. The "lobster" pasta we are almost sure was made with crawfish which was odd. It was super loud and hard to carry on a conversation. The fritto misto, bbq shrimp, and spaghetti dish were decent, but nothing truly stood out. read more
