The food, the staff, the cocktails, the views, the fun - ECCO has it all. Was feeling a bit flat and the warmth, humour and friendly staff completely changed my mood, and of course the vongole pasta, the figs and tuna carpaccio being divine as usual, also helped!

We were very grateful for the restaurant as they decided to still keep our booking even though it was the last day before they shut down temporarily for renovations. Regardless of them dealing with a lot, we were served with great fresh food and they made sure to accomodate us as much as possible! Everything was super delicious
