Reviews for Ecco Midtown in Atlanta, GA
We ate here with a very large group. They have a nice section in the back that was perfect for our party of 25. Because of our... group we had arranged a fixed menu. I had the steak, a bit too rare for me. The desserts were delicious. Read more
Dinner with a friend. We each got a drink, split two appetizers (fried goat cheese and pork belly), each got an entree... (parpadelle and gnocchi), and shared a dessert. Total was $140 with tip. Drinks were absolutely delicious, and they were happyto adjust for my friend. The fried goat cheese was amazing, would 100% get it again. Melt in your mouth, balanced perfect intexture and flavor. The pork belly was also delicious, but only 3 pieces felt really bad. Both the pastas were out of thisworld good. I've been to Italy, and this was close. the gnocchi was creamy and perfect pan fried crisp. The parpadelle wassmothered in delicious sauce, and the pork was amazingly tender. Only downside was the portion size; although my femalecompanion was very full, I literally grabbed some fast food on the way home cuz I was still hungry (and I'm not THAT big of aguy...Barely 190 pounds). The dessert was middling, the only weak point of the meal. The service was excellent, with the servergiving great explanations and recommendations. My water stayed full, and many people made sure we were having a great meal. Read more
Interesting fare and a really cool ambiance, but doesn't quite meet the price tag. Im open to giving it another try, but not... going to make a point of going back, either.. Foodwise, the gnocchi was excellent and the fried goat cheese was a fun take; theFlatbread fell a little... well, "flat", and the swordfish was a nice cut, but seemed like the sides tried too hard. Overall washit or miss. Server was friendly, but overall service (particularly bar service) was slow. With wait staff being understaffedeverywhere we're understanding of this, but better communication would've helped to just be aware that we'd be waiting 20-30minsfor a cocktail. Read more
The Crispy Duck Breast was so savory and perfectly prepared and everything else was great too! After dinner, the 2004 Niepoort... Colheita Port was a perfect end to a lovely meal. Read more

Applause. I was very satisfied with what Ecco Midtown was able to provide me. I very much enjoyed the appetizer, the main... course, and the dessert. This was part of an already successful night, and Ecco made sure to keep it that way. Ecco Midtownis...well, in midtown. It is near the Laughing Skull and Vortex. It is pretty easy to spot, and across from a parking garage, soyou should not have an issue with parking. There is even some on the road. As you enter, you notice the lighting is low, and itgives an intimate atmosphere. The people working were very nice, and they were actually wearing their masks appropriately. I amnot much of a stickler for whether people should, but when people do, may as well wear it correctly. The tables are very wellspaced away from one another, and still there was room for many people to dine, and there were quite a few people. Still, mydate and I did not feel crowded. The bathrooms are nice, are hidden away, and are kept clean. The menu is relatively small, buthas just enough to appeal to the right guest(s). I ordered us some grilled octopus first. It was good, however lacked something,I just could not figure it out. Overall, though, I enjoyed it, and the sauce that came with it, as well as the beans. Neverthought beans could taste and feel so fancy! After ordering our drinks, getting our water, and having the appetizer moved, weordered our food, along with fries to share. Everything was great. The duck I ordered was cooked so well, and the texture wasalmost perfect. It was juicy and left me happy. My date loved her pasta and I tried it...wonderful. After this, we got ourdessert, which tasted just right. The plates we got were not large, and just enough to fill us without making us feel like wecan't walk. I appreciate that, and I will be returning in the future. Read more
A good meal, but nothing especially memorable. The fried goat cheese balls which are a staple were good but left us wanting... something else. The octopus appetizer was by far the most delicious dish of the evening. You could taste the wood fire grilledsmokiness in the octopus. We also had the gnocchi and lamb. The gnocchi could have been seasoned a bit more. We previouslyvisited ecco years ago and wish the pasta dishes were changed. For a small menu it would be nice to have more rotation orseasonal menu. Ambience is spot on. We had an early reservation 5:30 and felt a tad rushed. I was still eating the octopusappetizer and the waitress attempted to clear twice before brining main dish. We were in and out of restaurant in an hour soit's not like we were dragging our feet. Read more
The food was great, especially the octopus, the wiped ricotta and the duck! The prices are a little high, but the quality... justify them. The service was really good too. We went on a Thursday and the place was full, but we were able to sit at the barand have the appetizer while we wait for a table outside. The terrace was super nice for the almost fall weather. I wouldrecommend to make a reservation if you are planning to go during the weekend. Read more
