    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

    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!

    Sunday Gravy

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    Great service, music, excellent cocktails and well presented food full of flavor. This was a great dining experience and can't wait to return.

We started out with some mozz sticks for an app, love the tomato sauce it comes with. Nicely coated and cheesy sticks, perfect for a warmup to your entree. Each entree comes with a side salad. Speaking of, I do with you could swap it out with a soup since I'm not a salad guy. She got the chicken parm, came with pasta on the side which keeps it from becoming soggy. Good size thin cutlet coated with sauce and cheese, was definitely a hit. I went with the Cavatelli Rapini. Was cavatelli pasta tossed broccoli rabe, cannellini beans, sausage finished with garlic and olive oil. Full of flavor, I finished every bite, good size portion as well. Good amount of seating and serving was hearty and kind. We got a drink, app and 2 entrees and walked out without breaking the bank, really nice place!

Bartender was our waiter, and we had an old fashioned and an espresso martini, both of which were some of the best we've had. Appetizer was calamari which was delicious, but only rings which I like but would have loved some tentacles too. We had the fish special (brazino fish) and the penne bolognese both were amazing! All the while the waiter was ensuring we were ok and asked if we needed anything. Atmosphere was great, food was fantastic. Highly recommend it. We went on a Thursday night around 6:00, no need for a reservation. Enjoy!

One reason it took me so long to try AFFILIATION - I learned that this place is a second location for massiminos in Bridgeport which is a pretty Italian place in its own right ENTRANCE - as you come in you can see the main counter in the back. There are a few tables around if you want to sit and eat/drink coffee. AMBIANCE - it's a very clean and deli looking decor. DRY PRODUCTS - they have a small selection of Italian items from dried pasta to jarred sauces. Typical brands that you see in supermarkets or other Italian stores. There are a few imported from Italy brands but I'm no expert to say yea or nay PIZZA - they have at the counter a pizza station where you can a buy by the slice. They looked pretty good with a lot of variety. COFFEES - they have regular plus they make expresso, macchiatos, lattes etc. I tried the macchiato which was excellent PASTRY- they gave a few at the counter. The breakfast buns and treats. I noticed a crème pastry which I tried. It was OK but in reality the pastry part was super good but the inside crème would have been better if it was like a Boston cream filling SERVICE - definitely 5+ stars. The employees couldn't be more friendly and helpful. Very congenial with small talk. Not the usual cold QSR attitude you get from the fast food chains PRICES - I only got coffee and a pastry that was over $8. I'd say average or a little on the higher side but I didn't look at the menu on the screen too closely although it was a little difficult to see.

    This is an amazing restaurant, you might not expect to find one like in in Bridgeport - CT, but…read moreit's definitely one of America's best restaurants, and it is definitely there in Bridgeport. Both Ralph and Rich are tremendous restaurant proprietors. Ralph is a truly gifted and accomplished chef - top, top category - and he also has the remarkable quality of really caring what you think of the dishes he prepares. How do we know ? Because he comes out and asks, and socializes with the guests a little bit too. I think this is a way great chefs retain their standing as great chefs - they always want to make their creations even better, and not all chefs are like that. Rich is the "front of the house" partner, and imparts an atmosphere of genuine welcoming, and I think he is the glue that keeps all the necessary parts of the restaurant joined together, especially the front-of-the-house, so that the whole place presents itself literally as a work of art, and keeps itself moving forward as a commercial establishment, and culinary institution both at the same time. Also, an intangible small or maybe not so small point. Both Ralph and Rich - make sure that not only are disabled people tolerated at the restaurant - they are welcomed by management (both Ralph and Rich contribute to this unique intangible quality of the place) to a point where disabled guests KNOW they are welcomed, and that is rare in a restaurant, or anywhere for that matter. Warmly and fully welcomed, but without an undue fuss. They are special people, and it is a special restaurant. Literally one of America's best, and not a moonshot place price-wise. I think they pass along some of the cost benefit of being in Bridgeport to the guests. In total, probably the best restaurant we've ever visited, definitely one of the best ---- although there have been some other special ones. Ralph 'n Rich's is one of the best of the best.
