Ecco

We had lunch here today on a whim, as we were in the area. The service was utterly delightful, with a gorgeous young fella who was so warm and relaxed in his manner, and incredibly accommodating. He gave us the sense that he really wanted us to enjoy not only the food, but being there. We sat out the front because I am in a wheelchair at the moment, so he also gently let me know that in future, it would be no fuss at all for me to get inside with the wheelchair ( which I hopefully won't be in too long!), and that there is a rear courtyard, that would also be accessible. I almost forgot to mention the food after acknowledging the delightful service (!), but the food was just so good. I had a risotto special, which was I suppose a Milanese, with a saffron base and mushrooms which was just luscious, totally. My partner had a pizza which was very good also. We each had a glass of wine, both of which were lovely, and finished with piccolo lattes, which were divine, and we are coffee snobs! Really can't wait to return and a big shout out to this lovely place and it's fantastic food and in particular, the lovely young man who looked after us today. Fabulous.

I decided on a whim to give myself a treat and stop by at ECCO for lunch. I have been wanting to try the The Taglioni Al Granchio. The Shark Bay crab meat pasta - slightly modified to my special dietary request - was delicate and delectable - deserving the buzz and absolutely a must try if you are a seafood fan! Compliment to the Chef and for the kind staff for a luxurious lunch. Til next time.

Came here today for Mother's Day - made my Mum feel really special. The food was beautiful - the pizzas are some of the best pure Italian-style around Melbourne; the pasta dishes melt in your mouth, Arancini balls were heavenly. Warm atmosphere, excellent service - I love how they gave us a choice too where we could sit. Very inclusive. Wish we took photos to show how beautiful the food was but it was really divine. Customer Service + Beautiful Food + Reasonable price + Warm ambience One of Melbourne's hidden beauties.

Hands down the best Italian restaurant I've been to in Melbourne. The food itself was alien... Out of this world. Ordered the lamb ragu, absolute treat, the lamb was cooked to perfection l, I've never tasted clouds before but I'm sure this was the closest thing. The crab pasta was nothing short of perfection, it was a textual masterpiece along with a deep Labrinth of flavour. Probably the best pasta I've had, having been to Italy before I'm not sure if the Italians do it better there. Big call I know but if you come here you must try the crab pasta. Finally ordered the truffle sausage pizza, amazingly luxurious taste of truffle and mushroom that you know and love but tops it off with a delicate thin base and fluffy crust. Food aside the service was great, friendly staff and very traditional atmosphere, very authentic! If you're looking forward to going to Italy sometime in 2025... Don't wait get down here instead.

Found this place close to where I parked had some beautiful gnocchi for dinner! True Italian style it was flawless! The waiter was excellent bought me out a Chinotto Citrus flavoured on ice with a twist of orange it was superb and perfect with my meal! I opted to sit outside its warm and it really felt very much like Toorak Rd is alive again! Definitely on my favourites list and the Gourmet Pizzas look really tasty! You would not be disappointed with anything on the menu here! 10/10 and great music playing 😀
