Eccolo Italian Restaurant

SUPERB, EXACTLY RIGHT We have been meaning to try this new restaurant for a while. The host is an older gentleman who looks like he stepped right off the streets of Italy. He is friendly and welcoming. This isn't a place you can or would want to rush through a meal in a New York minute. All the food was made on the spot. They have non pasta meals and on the appetizer there were gluten free choices (didn't say so, but by illusted ingredients). We had Octopus, which took at least 10 minutes to come out and was a work of art that was delicious. It had 3-4 small potatoes as part of it, but if you're low or no carb these could be skipped. It was perfectly made and beautifully displayed/served. We had fish for the main meal, which again, took about 20 minutes to prepare. Vegis on the si

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had! Renata took great care of us, explained the menu perfectly, and was always smiling. The food came out fast and tasted incredible. Highly recommend!

Was a great first day experience for me and my husband I ordered a mushrooms peas soup and a tartar and my husband ordered Cesar salad and gnocchi bolognese as real italian men Oh my Gosh !!! Everything was delicious The service better impossible and the and the ambience was relaxing and beautiful music I really recommend this beautiful restaurant Johnny is the best. Ask for him

We came here for our anniversary after passing it on the street the day before. Pierro was welcoming and kind, helping us get sorted immediately with a smile. The food was incredible. Grilled Octopus, Mushroom Arancini, Squid Ink Pasta, and the Ricotta Gnocci were EXCELLENTLY cooked and wonderfully flavorful. Carlos, our server, was truly a part of the experience. His ability to anticipate needs we didnt realise we had was exceptional. All in all, a 10/10 experience. We will be coming back.

I went for the steak with grilled romaine lettuce but when I got there it only comes with mashed potatoes now. I really had my taste buds set on grilled romaine so had to give it a 4 for that. Everything else was really great. Everyone finished all their food and we got deserts. The panna cotta was so good I could have got a second one. We got the tiramisu as well and my kid that gets it every time ranked it top 3 they have had. Really I don't think you can go wrong with this and to be so close to Times Square it wasn't loud and was very nice, cozy, and inviting. I would recommend it over the other Italian in the area as it was elevated but not pretentious.
