We went there last night--for the first, and most assuredly, last time. STAGGERINGLY bad service. We ordered a bottle of wine, appetizers and main courses. By the time we were finished the appetizer, we still didn't have the wine. We reminded the waiter, and he rolled his eyes. He brought us the wine 25 minutes AFTER we ordered (place wasn't busy, either), so we said not to bother with the wine. He said to my husband (and I quote) "if it was a big deal why didn't you remind me"?!?!?!?! When my husband pointed out to the manager that the waiter had said that it was up to us to remind him about our order, the waiter quibbled further and said "that's not what I said, I said 'if it was a big deal, you should have reminded me'". Unreal. Then he told my husband, who was spitting mad by this point and trying to maintain calm in front of our children, that he should "look at him while he was talking to him". Manager obviously couldn't have cared less, though refused to let us pay for the appetizer. 3 or 4 of them just stared comatose at us when we asked for the name of the owner/manager. The appetizer (calimari), by the way, was just OK--not great. Certainly not worth suffering through the horrible service. We will NEVER again darken the door of Ecco-La (which we always thought was a little too close to E-coli for comfort) and suggest you follow suit. Make reservations and go to Sfoglia or head to Barking Dog for better service.

This place seems to be great on the outside, but the food is okay. The service was never great, had a waitress bordering on obnoxious once. They are undergoing renovations; hopefully this will improve upon both the decor and the food. The prices are reasonable. The food is better than the service.

Ecco la is currently undergoing reservations to increase the size of their dining room. The food is ok here, but there are generally better italian places around. The early bird special is quite good however. You get 3 courses for $10 which isn't bad. When it's nice out, you can sit outside.
