I'm surprised to see so many negative reviews of Eccolo, and I think they stem from some less than sophisticated expectations. The menu is small and focused, and when the food is at its best, it's astonishingly good. There are a few oversights, like no seasoning on some of the fried items (which I guess could quickly ruin your opinion of a dish), and a so-so slab of beef at $32. But, the bollito misto and the grilled tuna were so perfect and tasty that I'd go back just to eat them again. Don't go to Eccolo ready to compare it to Chez Panisse or anything else--enjoy it for what is: beautifully prepared, simple, vibrant food.
Pros: wonderful ingredients, great service
Cons: , very limited menu
