It's even better than most restaurants in Rome at that! Chris Lee's cooking is superb, imaginative and truly elegant. I have never eaten a dish at Eccolo that I didn't like and remember for a long time thereafter. The Tuscan fries with sage and rosemary are to die for, the stuffed zucchini flowers are worth the trip alone, and the risotto melts in your mouth. Zucchini flowers stuffed with ricotta and fresh herbs are a similar delight. It's light food, it's fresh food, it's natural food. My favorite.
Pros: great food, great atmosphere
Cons: service can be iffy, too far from SFO
