Another chance and another failure. Service at the bar is atrocious! 10min for 1st drink, 10 min later had to flag someone down that was talking at the server area. Then finally ordered and disappointed. They advertise Pizza and it arrives as flat bread, thin, dried out and no basic taste to the dough. They might get one more try, but doing the same thing and expecting different is shear stupidity on my part. read more

We had a reservation for a party of 8 on a Saturday night. We were seated promptly and had a wonderful dining experience. Food, service and ambiance were all on point! I had the gnocchi short rib special with sea scallops and it was delicious! The whole party loved and raved about their meals. Our server Victor was so amazing and really made for a great dining experience. read more

Got the short rib pie served on cardboard. Service was very slow and took forever to get food out. Limone pasta dish was just lumped together like it was reheated in a microwave. I should have taken a photo of it. read more

Ecco - First time I've been served a pizza on cardboard, poor presentation. - Italian Near Me - Trumbull, Connecticut

Went here tonight to celebrate my birthday with my family. Our starters arrived- which were good- and then we waited and waited and waited..... for at least an HOUR and no main courses. The "manager" 's excuse was that they had a few large parties. I told him that we were seated before them AND ordered before them. (Party of 4). The "manager" did not seem to care at all and even threw a few "yah yah's" in to add to the abysmal response. One waitress at least tried to help but to no avail. Very very disappointing. read more

I can totally see why this place only has 3.5 stars.. nice lovely atmosphere, clean and really nice server. Rice balls were dry and bland, Brussels we're supposed to be roasted, they were deep fried. The thing that really got me was the $28 veal dish doesn't come with a side... so add 8 bucks for a dish of box pasta with bland sauce. Not impressed.... read more

I've been to Ecco about 5 times. I've had excellent food and service and then today very poor service and okay food. The positives - they finally turned off the blasting music so you can have a pleasant lunch. The outdoor patio is delightful although it is so windy we didn't sit there today. Today my husband and I stopped in for lunch after 1PM. The restaurant had several filled tables, but was more than half empty. We had to ask for the lunch menu - if I didn't already know it existed we would have been facing the pricey dinner menu as the only option. We were asked the perfunctory tap or bottled water and after that was served ordered our drink. Everything today took an inordinately long time to come to the table, to the point that I had to ask if there was a problem. The food came and it was fine but not as good as I have had there. There was no apology for the poor service. And to top it off we were given our bill before dessert was brought to the table. We were never asked if we wanted another drink or more bread - very sad. No one cared and $70 for lunch later I'm not happy. I have to assume they were short staffed in the kitchen but it would have been nice to have been told that. My husband will never return as it was his only experience (he rated it a 2) I'll probably try again with my friends and hope that we have a good experience. read more

Place has both outdoor and indoor seating, sat outside, very nice ambiance. Waitress was very attentive, kitchen was backed up, restaurant was full, but she made to she to proactive and tell us, which we appreciated. Drinks ordered were the spicy mango margarita, the mule, the mojito, guava limontini, and the most photogenic was the Berry and Bubbles. Although the Berry & Bubbles was fun, it didn't wow me on a flavor aspect. For food we had the Fig Bruschetta, and for a small bite, was an explosion of flavor. The Grilled Shrimp Scampi was good, not plentiful on the shrimp, heavily sauced but the spinach mixture was a good compliment. The grilled octopus was good but again felt like not a decent portion of octopus versus the sopressata, potatoes.Caesar salad which was good, liked the parm shavings. The Hot Oil Pie, which has a good spice to it, and the sauce was very good. The Pasta Limone w. Chicken was good flavored just right. The rigatoni Ala vodka sauce was a good consistency and rich. The biggest upset from the experience was the Geilled Lamb Chops. They were quite small, and overly cooked. Too charred and took away from the lamb flavor you normally seek. read more

Went for lunch. Ordered a medium burger. Came out as medium rare. Was supposed to come with side salad but never received. Wait staff friendly but not attentive read more

Delicious ! I had the veal osso bucco . I highly recommend it . Would definitely come back here

Had dinner here for the first time this evening. Started with fried calamari and Arancini. The arancini were creamy and delicious, I highly recommend. I enjoyed the fried calamari which was served with a marinara sauce, which I really liked, but it was a bit greasy. Our server was very pleasant and did not rush us but we found out later that there were daily specials which were never mentioned or brought to our attention. We had the short ribs and salmon which were plentiful and cooked to perfection. Tiramisu was okay for dessert, it was lite but not the best I have ever had. The cappuccino was good and served with a small biscotti. Overall, was a great meal with good service. read more

It was my family's first time to Ecco, we went on a Sunday night at the recommendation of my sister. We had a margherita pizza, a cup of pasta e fagiole, rigatoni vodka with shrimp, a filet mignon, and a chicken Milanese. Ambience is cool, definitely a nice, open layout with nice music. Not terribly busy as it was a Sunday night so the service was fine. Our waitress was pleasant, while a little slow. We had to ask twice to get her attention. My parents enjoyed their food, but unfortunately my chicken Milanese was raw. I noticed at the restaurant and couldn't finish the meal anyway, so decided to cut that piece out and take the rest home. When we get home, we realized the entire chicken was pink and undercooked. Disappointing as a first impression, but I am willing to give them a second chance. read more

We had a lovely lunch for 4 people! Three of us shared the butternut squash gnocchi, crispy artichokes and campagna salad. All were very tasty! The gnocchi was very hearty, fluffy and sweet, so, having it as a shared-plate was perfect. The salad was pleasantly balanced and one I would definitely order again. The crispy artichokes - I am craving them now! The other guest had the Oricchietta with brocolli rabe. He enjoyed it very much. Service was excellent - perhaps a bit too attentive which interrupted our business conversation a few times. Yet, over-attentive is always better than under-attentive. read more

Ecco was a great experience! The new restaurant has a beautiful design and atmosphere. Our waiter was kind and attentive. The food was also excellent. Everything from their salads to homemade plates of pasta was delicious. read more

Awesome meal at Ecco Restaurant and Wine Bar. I got the veal osso buco. It was very good but the only critique I would make is that the "risotto" was less like a creamy made-to-order risotto and more like cheesy rice with hard clumps. Other than that, great place. read more

I give this place three stars because the octopus is awesome and consistently good. The eggplant parmigiana however was absolutely horrible. Scary how hard and dry it was. I didn't see any "eggplant" inside the hard batter crust, it was a mess and very dry. Don't order the eggplant!! read more

Great service and staff, great food, great ambiance. Location is convenient. Just a well-run operation

Nicely decorated. Service was average. Food was not good and overpriced. I ordered the "spicy shrimp and scallops." There was no spice to speak of unless you count the random slices of hot peppers that appeared on the plate. Rice served over wilted kale. Just bizarre. My husband ordered a chicken dish that just tasted like mustard. Will not be going back. read more

Ecco has a really cool vibe and gorgeous aesthetic. We came in on a Monday night for an early birthday dinner with our children. We were seated quickly and we enjoyed the lamb chop, arancini, and fig bruschetta tapas Followed by the gnocchi, veal saltimbocca, and Calabrian pizza. Probably some of the best lamb chops We've ever had. Everything was amazingly delicious. We finished off with the Italian rainbow cake, lava cake, and vanilla gelato and cappuccino. Amazing service and amazing food. Cannot wait to come back. read more

Our first dining experience at Ecco was a delight! Friendly and welcoming stuff, spot on food,5 star overall experience. You have to try the marvelous Osso Bucco,give a chance to the octopus, enjoy at least a slice of pizza and don't leave until you try the lava cake. Ok..... the rainbow cake... or tiramisu. read more

Best Italian we've had in a long time. Homemade perfect pasta and the sauce, amazing as well. Impeccable service on the heated patio So delicious. We will be back as soon as possible. read more

A great new restaurant to enjoy good food in a relaxed atmosphere with family or friends. While it's a bit expensive it's worth it. We tried several of their tapas along with two flatbread pizzas and some wine and sangria. The service was fantastic our waitress staggered our food so we could enjoy our food and time with friends. Topped it all off with fabulous desserts. All in all a great upscale spot for Trumbull and the surrounding towns! read more

Always pleased with the food at ECCO. Today we shared a chacuttarie board of cheese, prosciutto, and two types of salami. The board was more then enough as a meal so we ordered a salad as well. Both were nicely prepared and delicious. The wine selection is good with some top shelf options available. A must if in the area. read more

Food was good but it took 35 minutes to get dinner.The head waiter said it was because of the pork chop! I have cooked pork chops on the grill and it doesn't take 35 minutes. Better to ne honest with your customers! read more

We split a salad and a entree. The waitress offered to split them for us which we thought was a nice offer. What was not mentioned was that they were going to charge us an $8 upcharge to split the two items. Ridiculous!!! read more

I really wanted to give this restaurant a better rating but after visiting four times, this is the best I can give. The restaurant is nicely designed with an Italian gold and black style. Waitstaff is friendly but the food preparation is terrible. We have ordered several dishes with items missing from the dish and taste is bland for most meals. I ordered the pictured filet mignon dish which was absolutely terrible. They do not know how to cook a steak. I ordered a medium rare steak which was overcooked on the edges and totally rare in the middle. This was the worst steak I have ever ordered and I'm embarrassed for them. Again, I really wish I could have given a better rating since I am local but please save your money and stay away. read more

I had lunch here on a Sunday so they were also serving brunch. It was busy but service was really attentive. They don't take reservations but we were seated right away. We got to see a lot of creatively plated food. I had a top notch manhattan, very delicious arrancini and lamp chops. I would love to come back and try more options. The inside is also beautiful. read more

We went there for lunch many times and it was never disappointing. Last week I brought a friend with us and she was so pleasantly surprised with the selections. She said she would come again since she was so impressed with this restaurant. We haven't had dinner there yet, but we are looking forward to returning for dinner soon. read more

The ambiance and food is lacking and after a number of times with the same poor experience, will not be returning.

We tried this place for first time tonight and we really enjoyed it. The food was very good with large portions. The inside was very clean and upscale looking. The bar was a little noisy for a Thursday night. And the service was very fast and friendly. I would definitely go back and bring family. read more

Went to this establishment to celebrate my dad's 84th Birthday and the stone faced manager claims our reservation was at 6 and not 6:30. Total lie as we confirmed 2X! Anyways he made it work and crammed us together in a back room but never once apologized or said another word to us. A sorry for the miss communication or I hope you enjoyed your meal but he said absolutely nothing. Not sure how this man has a customer service job as he is stone faced, rude and clearly incompetent! My first and last time at ECCO!! The service was very slow as there was one waitress waiting on 2 big parties in the back which is no fault of hers! The food was mediocre and small portions!! read more

We had an early dinner at Ecco's, the new Italian restaurant that finally opened up a couple of weeks ago in Trumbull. We arrived at 3 pm on Saturday because we knew it would be too packed to get a table if we came later, and we wanted to make sure we got in. The food was delicious and the service was great. Even though it was only their first week in operation, they hit the ground running. The decor was beautiful and so was the ambience. I had the branzini, which was so good, and my wife had the lamb chops which she enjoyed very much. Alexa was our server, and although she was new there, she was so helpful and friendly. With a couple of Pinot Noirs, it added up to a perfect meal, finished with a lava cake for dessert. I encourage everybody to give it a try. I think you'll love it. read more

The appetizers were good. However, when I got my main course, it tasted like a bucket of salt chicken Marsala . I returned it and I received a new dish chicken Parmesan and they gave me a piece of chicken that was made so quickly with a jar of sauce and a piece of cheese melted on it, and said here you go not much of an entrée. I would not recommend eating any main courses only apps if you so choose to eat there read more
