Ecco was a perfect score again. The lunch special just can't be beat by any other places in the neighborhood. My team went today to celebrate as a group. The service is always consistently excellent and the food is delicious. The 3 course prix fixe menu and the panini lunch specials are great value. Good for teams and easy to split the bill if needed. read more

We have been to Ecco before and really liked it, but if last nights dinner is an example of the direction they are going we probably won't be back. The good: had a reservation for 6 celebrating a birthday and were seated promptly. Pizza was excellent. The bad: I have a severe shellfish allergy and like most restaurants the really could not accommodate.steak ordered medium rare. Was served medium well and tough. For a $40+ dinner that is unacceptable. Veal was overcooked and dry. Had to ask multiple times for a 2nd glass of wine. Waitress was not attentive and difficult to find. Seated in a booth next to the very busy bar and had people standing by the side of our table the entire time. read more

I do love the decor and the food is very good. Lunch specials are great! Most staff is great but sometimes they are too busy and need more staff at the bar. I have only sat at the bar when I have been there. I have been there a lot for lunches for work and for fun. It's local so it's nice and easy. read more

Ecco - Beautiful inside and out! I would definitely recommend it! The pasta is homemade and lots of the food is great! - Italian Near Me - Trumbull, Connecticut

Food was mediocre and the service was terrible. The waitress brought our veal parm with no mozzarella because she messed up the order. Then she charged my card for three times the amount. When I mentioned it she said only that it wasn't her fault. We only went there because the restaurant we wanted was closed for a private event. We won't be going back. read more

Went here for an early dinner on a week day wand was pleasantly surprised. The staff was much more friendly and attentive. We had Sunday gravy, mozzarella and prosciutto appetizer, and octopus tapas. The Sunday gravy was super tasty - lots of flavor and aldente noodles. The only thing didn't care for was the braciole as the filling was a bit mushy. The appetizer was a nice portion and tasted super fresh and the octopus was great tender and nice They do take cc and have an ample amount of parking in the lot The inside of the restaurant was a bit dark for my liking but it was fine read more

Ecco is a great place. Huge bar, huge dining room, private room for special events and a huge outdoor patio. The service and the food have always been outstanding. I don't know how you could go to this restaurant and leave disappointed they have everything you want and need. Great place to hang out and it's always busy which is a good sign! read more

Ecco - January 2026 brought my wife to dinner for her birthday. - Italian Near Me - Trumbull, Connecticut

This is the second time we have been here. I find it very problematic they don't accept reservations for parties under four. Both times they didn't have any tables but agreed to seat us if we'd be out in x amount of time to allow for the reserved parties. Since it's a drive for us, this will keep us from returning. I didn't love the butternut squash gnocchi and eggplant parmigiana, which I had the first time. I did really enjoy the rigatoni alla vodka and eggplant rollitini, which I got last night. The service is great very friendly and attentive. And it's a nice place. Just unfortunate they have the reservation policy stated above. read more

Very crowded Friday night. They lose a star because I feel the hostess wasn't managing the list well. Wait went from 30 minutes to an hour which was ok. Then after an hour was told we were next and then it went to there is now someone ahead of you. Once seated, our server Anthony was outstanding. He was so personable and made great suggestions. Our food was delicious. The Brussel Sprouts is a must have again. They were flaky and flavorful. The Soppressata ... I could have eaten the entire dish by myself. The peppers, need I say more. The Sunday Gravy was good, didn't care for the flavor of the sausage but I'm blaming my taste buds on that one lol. I chose gnocchi as my pasta which was the icing on the cake. I will definitely return but not on a Friday night. I'm craving the gnocchi. read more

Ecco was bustling on a Friday night! We were happy to have had a reservation. The complimentary bread and dip to start was the perfect introduction to our dinner. We loved how traditional Italian dishes were served in addition to putting their own spin on other dishes. We ordered the brussel sprouts as a starter. They tasted average but we loved how big the portion size was - it was perfect for four people. Our entrees were generously portioned and fairly priced. Given the popularity of this restaurant, it was clear that the staff was trying to turn the tables over quickly. But each staff member was very kind and polite. read more

Depends on what you are looking for. To me this me this was more of a bar/night club/ louder scene than a nice Italian restaurant. Nothing wrong with that, would be great for young happy hour crowd. Decor is modern/ pretty. For nice dinner for older couple, not a great experience and won't return. VERY loud (weeknight 5pm), so could not hear the server or my husband. They don't take reservations for couples. Seated in small room with large party despite booth availability. Food was ok but not 5 star for the price. Service, our waitress seemed sweet and trying hard but I honestly could not hear her with such loud music. read more

Ecco, Wow! As soon as you walk in you notice how aesthetically decorative the restaurant is. We were greeted right away and seated within moments. Food came out hot fresh and within 10-15 minutes of ordering. Very tasteful, filling and delicious! Menu is superb with many fine options We visited on Father's Day with a party of 6. The place was lively with overhead music and friendly waitstaff. We highly recommend! Definitely a solid 8/10! read more

Wonderful! Cheerful staff, delicious food (their pasta is homemade and perfect), and great ambiance. The perfect date or family night out. They have a massive, impressive bar for a meet-up with friends after work. The best place in Trumbull as far as I'm concerned. read more

Such a fabulous spot. Huge oval bar, broad dining room, high ceilings and tall windows create an area, modern vibe . Private room for small events. Beautiful outdoor patio for seasonal dining. Service is always top-notch, which is such a rare experience out in lower Fairfield county. I've dined here several times and each time it has been a very very pleasant experience. Some of the stand out favorites are aranchinni, grilled octopus w shishito peppers, short rib pasta, homemade ravioli with Burratta, chicken pasta w pistachio pesto, and the Fruits de mare. A broad menu with something for everyone. At least a dozen seasonal cocktail options, a varied wine list, and a variety of desserts. My two favorites are the crème brûlée and limoncello cake are favorites. Perfect spot for family events, cocktails w the girls, simply pizza with friends. read more

We stopped in to have lunch. The restaurant is quite big. They have a huge bar area, it definitely looks like this must be a hopping bar scene. The bar easily seats about 50 people. We were seated in the bar area but at a booth. They have a nice sized dining area with what looks like a private dining area which can accommodate a large group. The service was quick and efficient. I ordered the Campagna salad with grilled chicken, my girlfriend had the Margherita pizza. She enjoyed her pizza and my salad was excellent. The salad came with mixed greens, walnuts, cranberries, Gorgonzola cheese with balsamic dressing. It was a nice portion and tasted even better. For dessert we shared the tiramisu which was ok. Overall, we had a good experience and will visit again. read more

They need to fix the acoustics as this place is super loud. It actually sounds like a baseball stadium. I don't remember it being this loud the last time I was here. Good food and waitress is lovely read more

Delightful evening with family and friends here. The service was especially outstanding from helping us with the menu to suggestions about substitutions to pacing of our evening. This was the best service of the summer of a lot of traveling and enjoying restaurants. The food was exceptional: Brussels sprouts--get this crispy, savory dish Lamb chops--the group enjoyed this appetizer--I ate the delicious arugula that came with it. Classic win/win scenario Sunday Gravy--massive serving of beef, chicken, pork and I lost track. It included pasta. I didn't eat this but my husband loved it. He left about half of it--it would have been a great meal for 2-3 people. Pesto with chicken and gluten free pasta--the best gluten free pasta I've ever enjoyed. I loved the small bites of chicken that combined so well with the pesto and noodles Seafood pasta--generous on the seafood and perfectly prepared pasta with a balanced, complex tomato sauce Massive shrimp with pasta--I forgot the actual name of this dish with gluten free pasta, but it was delicious We will return in the future. There's great indoor and outdoor dining. Next time I hope to sit outside and photograph the dishes so you can see the steam rising from the best pasta I've had in a long time. read more

Ecco is a beautiful and modern Italian restaurant in Trumbull. I really enjoyed the food here and I'm already planning a trip to come back. Some of our favorites were the lamb and the brussel sprouts. These were delicious! I'd probably pass on the crispy artichokes. I didn't realize that these were deep fried, and was a bit disappointed since they were overly coated in breading. Besides this, we really enjoyed everything else. Our servers were great, especially since we arrived a few minutes before closing. They accommodated our large group well. read more

I have been to this restaurant a few times. The food has always been good. This time, also good. My issue was that we were seated at a tiny table for 2 that was against a booth on one side. We asked the server if we can move to a different table. There were at least 3 empty tables for 4 near us. The said they couldn't because they were all had reservations. This was a Wednesday night. Guess what? They stayed empty the entire time we were there. Disappointed. read more

What a fantastic place. The service was excellent. The food was delicious. The portions were large. And the Management was friendly and accommodating. I would suggest anyone visiting the Trumbull area to eat here. I have a son who is a student at Sacred Heart University and for now on, when we visit him, this place will be on the top of list of places to eat. read more

This restaurant had very delicious food that all enjoyed. I had a fantastic pasta dish with shrimp. The marinara sauce was yummy seasoned with garlic and parsley that went perfect with the pasta. The brussels sprouts were roasted well blended with tasty seasoning. Everyone enjoyed the lamp chops medium rear resting on a bed of greens. The ice coffee was excellent strong and fresh. read more

I am so glad I gave this place another try with a friend. My word! The fig bruschetta! What a delicious combination of crostini, fig purée, goat cheese and strawberries with a sprinkling of crushed honey walnuts served on a bed of arugula. We were amazed. And then my entree! The short rib ravioli in a creamy mushroom marsala sauce was sumptuous. The ravioli was delicate and fresh which signals they are definitely house made. Loved, loved, loved my meal. Our waiter was pleasant and waited on our table specifically. It wasn't an experience like noted in my previous review, where several different untrained wait staff visited. A lot can change in a year, and at Ecco it has for the better. Three cheers for you, Ecco, for upping your game! read more

I need to update my review to help assess trending from my viewpoint What's changed: FOOD: a mixed bag in that the pizzas are very good. But other than the grilled shrimp appetizer the rest of the menu needs to move upwards fro barely OK to just eh I tried the fried meatballs this time and they were weird. First off tepid temperature at best. Suggests to me that they called them fried so they can be pre made in refrigerator and then quickly heated by deep frying. Clearly these came out too soon. But how do you explain the tomato sauce being room temperature shouldn't this be hot at a bare minimum and poured one after? SERVICE - while extremely polite there is clearly a need for extensive training. First the bus came by and I thought he was the waiter - I was told he wasn't my waiter just table bus. Really - the owner should tell them the response is "I will get your waiter right now". Also, for a pretty empty lunch crowd and there was plenty of staff, the waiters should be all over the customers and not on the side lines doing whatever. The time it took to get appetizers and entrees was awful given the light crowd. I can only imagine the turnaround during the rush! GLUTEN FREE - this is a major positive if you are looking for pizza this way. Very excellent light crust and you can customize if you wish read more

The management is not very accommodating. I just had knee surgery and I asked to be seated outside. There were tables available. It's a Tuesday night and not crowded. They claimed they did not have any tables for "two". However there were four empty tables for "four" The whole time we were here. I was cold inside the air conditioned restaurant and very uncomfortable. I can't believe how inconsiderate and callous they were. Never coming back here again! read more

Very accommodating establishment! We called in on a Saturday with a party of 6 and were able to get in quickly. Our server, Matt, gave us time to consider all our options on their vast menu - greatly appreciated because it was our first time there. Highly recommend their eggplant rollatini & their short rib pizza. Overall great service & delicious food! read more

Veal Osso Buco is the best at Ecco Wine Bar in Trumbull, CT. Be it a week day or a weekend it is always busy and now we know why. We were a party of four and were seated at the booth. Though it was super busy (being a Friday), our server was very attentive. Thanks Mathew for making our evening perfect. I ordered Osso Buco and absolutely loved it. The other dishes that we ordered were meatballs, fried calamari, Veal parmigiana, Branzino puttanesca, Salmon arrosto and old fashioned. The food was great, and the service was excellent. The restaurant has plenty of free parking as well! read more

This was our second time visiting this restaurant and while the food, on the most part, has been good, the service leaves much to be desired. As fate would have it, we were paired with the same server on both occasions. On both visits (one in late March and the other on June 13) he made the same dumb, critical mistake. Our table of four ordered two salads to share as starters (the salads are quite large and delicious) and two pastas (also quite large and tasty) as our mains. And both times, the salads and pastas came out of the kitchen together because our server, without asking, thought that we wanted them served together despite the fact that we very clearly said that "we'll start with the salads and then have the pastas." Last night, our server apologized at his second, identical blunder and said that "I'll have the pastas remade when you're ready for them." That was either an outright lie or the kitchen just ignored his instructions because when the two pastas did arrive, they were luke warm and farm from al dente--they were a homogenized, glutenous, gloppy mess. And when the server stopped by to ask how everything was and told him that the pastas were "cold and had obviously been kept on a warmer" and he nicely protested and said that they had been remade. That poor customer service was unfortunate because Ecco's food is actually pretty good and I could have overlooked this second visit's shortcoming had the server/restaurant made some small effort to correct their error. Now, we will NEVER return to this restaurant and certainly won't be recommending it to our large friend and family group. read more

Had reservations for Mother's Day for Four. One daughter was sick and she stayed home. We got there and he said to us that we cannot be seated with our reservation at 2:30 because we only had three and not four. Very rude, not worth the effort to go there ever again. read more

Highly recommended eatery with a rich dark black & gold interior that has a hip & upscale almost Manhattan feel to it. On weekend nights, wait times can be an hour at a minimum. Business is booming here, with excellent openers like fried meatballs and octopus. The salmon is served with a fine pairing of spinach & potatoes. For dessert, you can't go wrong with crème brûlée or a molten lava cake. Bartenders were busy and there was a cacophony of empty wine bottles clanging into the recycling bin behind the bar. Taylor was my party's waitress. She is to be commended. As busy as the scene was, she did a great job with the restaurant's most thirsty denizens - serving up with pumpkin martinis & more. The entire bartender staff did a great job keeping up with the orders. The restaurant has a more upscale vibe than Prime 111, and is one of Trumbull's finer hidden gems. read more

First time here and the ambiance swept me away!Love the decor and dim lighting. The meatball appetizer was a standout; the sauce was divine! The old fashioned drinks packed a punch and were delicious. The fig bruschetta was absolutely phenomenal. The chicken parm was good, but the lemon pasta was overwhelmingly tart. Yet, the manager and waiter went above and beyond to rectify the situation by offering a discount, which was appreciated. While the service was exceptional--our waiter was attentive and accommodating--it's unfortunate that the lemon pasta didn't meet expectations. Overall, great experience definitely will come back! read more

Loud and noisy and quite dark but I think that was this place is about. Came with a party of 14 so obviously not as intimate as a two person table. Our waitress did a great job handling us.

I recently went to Ecco in Trumbull and had a lovely time. The restaurant is in a good location with plenty of parking. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and incredibly clean. Its very modern and chic. The staff was very kind and we were seated quickly. The food was served in a timely manner and when we requested adjustments to our meals (ordering veal parmesan rather than chicken parmesan) they were able to comply with any requests. The food was amazing, especially the apps. I highly recommend getting the lamb chops (medium rare), tuna tartare and local mozz. Shoutout to the filet mignon, cooked to perfection with INCREDIBLE taste. Would recommend visiting again. read more

Ecco is one of my go-to spots, and it never disappoints. The tuna tartare is easily the best in the Trumbull area. It's so fresh and flavorful. I've tried a few of their pasta dishes, I've loved every single one. Squid Ink Fra Diavola and Orrecchietti with broccoli rabe are my favorites. Drinks are great too! read more

Service was sloooooow, they really acted like they didn't want us to be there as we had our children with us, at lunchtime which I don't think should be an issue? They aren't little kids, they weren't making noise or acting out. There were so many staff for a not very busy lunchtime, a lot of standing around talking to each other. Which didn't give off a very nice vibe as you felt like it was a bother for you to be there interrupting them. I would advise this place is not kid friendly, strictly adults only. The food was just fine, not really anything amazing. read more

The food is outstanding, the service is amazing, and the ambiance is great. One of my favorite restaurants and a place I highly recommend!
