Since its opening over a year ago, Eccolo has straightened out the occasional kinks of its first few months of service, about which there were justifiable complaints. Without any shadow of doubt, it now serves the best and most original food in the entire Bay Area, bar none - and including San Francisco. Chris Lee's cuisine is sensuous, refined, succulent - and always refreshing. Unfortunately, it is also very addictive . . . I wish I could eat there 365 days a year! The dishes represent personal and original favorites, tending mainly to Californian and nouvelle Italian - and Nouvelle-Lee. A real winner.
Pros: kids-friendly, good free parking, romantic
