If you like fish, this is the place to go! This restaurant's specialty is beautiful fish in every style, including crudi (raw fish, Italian style). There is garden seating available, which I highly recommend; the interior has absolutely no ambiance and is very small. Prices are moderate: average main course $28. There is an extensive wine list, and every kind of fish imaginable is prepared here. This is truly the best fish I have ever eaten--tender, flavorful and cooked in an elegant oil. I recommend you stick with their wonderful fish, and skip the side dishes and dessert, which were not so exceptional. The service was good, but not excellent; however, the waiter was initially huffy with me when my guest was only 5 minutes late, threatening to make me move! Although the atmosphere was lacking, I could definitely recommend a trip to Esca for the fish alone!
Pros: the best fish, period
Cons: waiters can be rude, poor atmosphere
