It's in a nice quiet part of Memphis. Had reservations for 7pm but had to wait about 20-30 minutes to be seated. It was very busy and loud inside. After being seated, it took about 10 before anyone came over to serve us. We had to ask for complimentary bread. Other than that, the service was good. Good came out pretty quickly and seemed fresh. I would come here again.

This was my first visit and we loved it! We started with the Fritto Misto appetizer, which is fried Zucchini and Squash spears in a Tempura style batter served with a delicious sauce. It was incredible! For our entrees, we chose the Butternut Squash Ravioli and Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms. We ordered the full portion size of each and are very glad we did, as the full portion of Ravioli is still rather small. Considering Raviolis are a more labor intensive dish to make, I can understand why, but I would certainly make sure to get a side dish with it in the future. The Spaghetti with Wild Mushrooms was a fantastic portion size though and was quite filling. For desert we had the Oreo Cheesecake and the Tiramisu. The Oreo Cheesecake came with a Strawberry Sauce and a Blackberry Sauce. I never thought to pair Oreo Cheesecake with a Blackberry Sauce, but I am so very glad they did. It was amazing together! Our favorite beverage of the night was the Tequi Tiki Tavi. Not only was it fun to say, it's also one of the best cocktails we've had in Memphis. The server was very attentive and helpful. The food was delicious! We decided the Fritto Misto was our favorite dish of the night. The atmosphere was perfect. They had a very talented Musician playing Guitar with a volume where you could enjoy the music, but still have a conversation without having to raise your voice. It was refreshing. We look forward to our next visit.

TOP SHELF! We had dinner here with our family last week to celebrate our niece achieving her doctorate degree and we had an incredible experience. Kevin did a fabulous job serving us with recommendations and lightning quick service. He kept everyone’s drinks filled the whole time and made it that more special with his attention. I had the salmon with risotto and Brussels sprouts. It was a great combination of a tasty fish with savory notes in the Brussels sprouts. The appetizers were very good as well. Several people had the pasta with mushrooms and said it was delicious as well. The atmosphere was very comfortable but not overdone.

I had the lobster ravioli and red snapper special. Everything was seasoned, fresh, and piping hot. The drinks were great. I sat at the bar and got the best service ever. The overall staff was pleasant. It's a vibe of dress up or super casual. Worth the try and a repeat restaurant.

Celebrated my birthday with my daughter and her beau. I had the lamb and it was amazing , the presentation was beautiful and the flavors popped. The cocktail was also quite delightful ! The tequila Tavi ? They came for me with a nice strawberry - blueberry cobbler that was light and tasty ! Nice touch with the ice cream and long burn sparkling candle

Exceptional experience at Ecco on Overton Park. We had a party of 5 and every person loved their dish. Great service from our knowledgeable server Kevin. Fairly large restaurant with an upscale flair but had a cozy relaxed atmosphere. Had the Fritto Misto, Crab Claws (these are a must!), Lobster Ravioli, Halibut, Beef Stroganoff, Sausage Orecchiette, and an amazing dessert. Make the trip to visit this restaurant!
