I hope people don't dismiss this restaurant because it is in Goochland, a place not knowing for it's gourmet tastes. Even good shoulders might be apt to pass it by. It is however a classy, well decorated. Of course I come here for the food. Gourmet options delicious salads. I have never been disappointed with her it's their Caesar salad, the arancini. Or the cannoli. I lived in Richmond for many years and love the restaurants there but now when I want something classy and refined I go around the corner to ecoti. I certainly hope this gem stays around for a long time. We especially love the egg plant appetizers and the pastas. Their chocolate cake is fresh baked with a scoop of warm ice cream. Delicious! read more

Such a lovely find for my sister and I who were on our way to Powhatan State Park and hungry. Place is clean and Airy and has a wonderful menu. Lots of great Italian choices but we both enjoyed how are attentive waitress and the food. My sister had an Italian choice eggplant tomato basil and cheese on Ciabatta and I opted for the veggies wrap which was very similar to my sister's chopped vegetables on a wrap we both had a side of sauteed spinach which is equally great. I highly recommend this little gem of a place read more

A very nice, varied menu with a quiet, refined atmosphere. My gnocchi was good, and the sandwiches around most of the table were stellar. I want to come back and try the whole menu! read more

So happy to have another great local place around! Amazing burgers, seriously. And we are sort of burger aficionados. Other sandwiches are also great. Nice wine and beer selection. Haven't tried the pasta dishes yet, but we will definitely be back again to try them. Yay! read more

Very happy to see this type of option in Goochland. Nice menu at a very good price point. Decore is great and all the food I've had has been really good. Burgers and Mufletta sandwiches are excellent. Once they get into their rythmn and get their service straightened out this could go to 5 star and compete against downtown restaurants. read more

I have eaten there quite a few times and can vouch that it is a ray of sunshine in Goochland. just finished the scallop kabobs (to go) . Had a cold beer and headed home. excellent. read more

Driving to Staunton we were looking for something better than fast food. Boy did we find it! Perfect lunch spot. The fries and sweet potato fries were perfectly crisp on outside soft on inside. Mufaletta, cheese burger, gyro and chopped salad were enjoyed by all. We will be using this as a lunch spot on our trips to mountains from now on. read more

Our favorite restaurant in Goochland. Been here multiple times and always happy with both the food and service. Their steak and pastas are excellent, great flavor and great texture. Friend dip sandwich was really good, good quality meat and bread, and the au jus has great flavor. Ordered fried calamari and pear salad as well, both are 5 stars. Also had chocolate soufflé with vanilla ice cream for dessert and it was awesome. read more

Had driven by and seen this place a couple times so we decided we would give it a try. Really glad we did. It is a small but clean and inviting atmosphere. Very elegant and not expected in this particular location, but is very welcome. I ordered the ribeye, which had great flavor, along with the mashed potatoes and asparagus both of which were very good as well. My wife had a burger with sweet potato waffle fries. I would order both meals again. I really hope this place gets enough business to stay open. I look forward to coming again. read more

Eccoti offers a new and upgraded dining experience in Goochland. Yay! The menu is varied and the several dishes I have tried have been very good, though rather lightly seasoned The scallop kebab is really wonderful. Servings are generous. The olive oil for dipping the (very good) bread is the best I have had in a restaurant ! Wine is decent and not overly pricey. The menu is a la carte. The wait staff is a bit inexperienced but very willing and helpful. Ambiance is pleasant, noise level is good. Hope this place is around for a long time. read more

My dining experience went from simply okay to less than acceptable. When you dine as one party expect marginal service. That was the case here as it has been elsewhere. So no surprises there. Multiple diners get preferential treatment and that has become a fact of eating out. Dining alone is a curse from a service standpoint. Sorry, but this place was no exception to that rule. A good server can change that measurably but that is typically never the case. On to the food preparation, the caprese bruschetta was quite good, nice presentation as well as very flavorful. After determining that this place actually knew what food presentation and preparation were all about I selected an gyro sandwich. This was the worst lamb I've ever experienced eating. Not properly seasoned and short on taziki dressing that would normally compensate for the lack of flavor of the lamb. I sure there are some fabulous menu item here, this was just not one of them. read more

Had a late lunch yesterday. Was happy we finally made it by this little gem for goochland. Fried green tomatoes as our appetizer were excellent. Nice wine list as well and we enjoyed the background music. However tv at the bar was distracting. We shared tiramisu for desert which was also delicious. read more

LOVE this restaurant in our sweet Goochland Courthouse area. Our waitstaff have been so helpful and knowledgeable. The food is the best and they are able to cater to my vegan lifestyle which is not always easy to do in a small town restaurant. I hope this restaurant is well supported so they can be here for a very long time. read more

I ordered their grilled protabello sandwich with my party of 4, the only item that didn't really need to be cooked.....my party got their food. 10 minutes later the server informs me that they got my order mixed up. Ok....5 minutes later they bring out a sandwich. It was an uncooked portobello sandwich without the grilled components that were on the menu that I had ordered. They did attempt to heat it, however it was still predominantly raw. I ate half, probably less that half. Should have been an indicator to the server that something was really wrong. They should have comped the sandwich. It was late, and really wrong. read more

Wow! Who'd expect to find a gem like this in the small town of Goochland. A tad pricey but excellent food , worth every cent.My wife and son had burgers and loved them. I had the linguini with shrimp and have never had better. Pasta tasted homemade and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. We drove twenty miles to get here and will definitely be back. read more

We enjoyed a great dinner with excellent service. The special bonus was the Jazz trio that entertained tonight. So happy to have this fantastic restaurant in Goochland Courthouse. Highly recommended. Worth an easy drive for anyone looking for a unique experience in Goochland beyond the crowds in Short Pump. read more

This has become our go to place. Every dish we have tried is wonderful, full of flavor and very fresh. We continually get the charcuterie platter as appetizer and have tried a variety of the dinners, we have not been disappointed. The chocolate soufflé is a must. read more

Great food! Nice atmosphere, very friendly owners, one of which is an Italian chef. So far we have had the steak which was wonderful, french dip equally good and the salads are really good too. read more

Just discovered this little gem of a restaurant. Had the Italian chopped salad with cranberry citrus dressing, Portabella sandwich that came with choice of fries (I had the sweet potato waffle fries) and Tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious and fairly priced with a good variety of options. Met the owner/chef (his copartner-wife was not there) who is super nice and is actually "authentic" Italian from Sicily. So glad to have them here in our neck of the woods. Can't wait to go back and try something new! read more
