Incredible. This is my new memphis favorite and go-to. The atmosphere was lovely and is perfect for a date night, celebration, girls night, or business meal. The cocktail program here is great. We all loved our cocktails. The wine list is also good. The happy hour is fantastic!!
For apps, we got the meatballs, whipped ricotta, and cauliflower. All 10/10 ESPECIALLY the meatballs.
For dinner, several of us got the mushroom pasta dish and it was absolutely amazing.
For dessert, we got the tiramisu which was also lovely. Can’t wait to return!

Ecco is by far my favorite restaurant in Memphis! They have the best meatballs I have ever eaten in my life, and their sausage orecchiette remains our favorite pasta here too. They have options for everybody and I love how their menu switches up seasonally - gives us something to look forward to (please bring back the white bean salad)! Their weekend specials and steak nights are a real treat. We also love getting their espresso martinis. Great service, such a cozy vibe tucked away in an adorable neighborhood. Can't recommend enough!
