I was very disappointed with Esca. The food, while solid, was unspectacular and the pricing was outrageous. As a first course, I had linguine with clams, prosciutto and red pepper (for $22!). The dish was basically linguine in oil with a few clams on it. The only flavor present was the oil. I can have better linguine at almost any neighborhood italian restaurant for half the price. The fish was very fresh and well-prepared but not to a degree to justify any higher prices than at many italian restaurants. There are too many good italian restaurants around to waste your time and money here.
Cons: Ordinary food, Ridiculous pricing
