Nestled in Concourse F near Gate F9, Ecco transforms the typical airport dining scene into something unexpectedly elegant. This isn’t your average grab-and-go spot—it’s a slice of Atlanta’s acclaimed Fifth Group Restaurants brought to the international terminal. Swapping Midtown’s moody ambiance for a bright, contemporary setup, the space hums with warm wood tones and soft lighting, offering a chic yet approachable vibe for travelers.
The menu leans into European flair with a Southern twist: picture a bowl of silky pappardelle laced with rich wild boar ragout ($18-$20) or a charcuterie spread featuring velvety Prosciutto di Parma and artisanal cheeses ($15-$18). Thirsty? Their wine list delivers—sip a robust Tuscan red ($10-$14) or a crisp white while you watch planes taxi by.
The kitchen prides itself on fresh, never-frozen ingredients, a rarity in airport land. Standouts like the fried goat cheese drizzled with honey ($12-$14)—crisp outside, molten within—or a side of golden, garlic-kissed fries ($6-$8) elevate the experience beyond the ordinary.
Service strikes a balance: swift enough for a 45-minute layover, attentive enough to feel human, though it can stumble during the lunch rush. Budget $25-$35 for a meal with a drink—a worthy splurge when you’re dodging stale sandwiches elsewhere. Ecco isn’t just food; it’s a taste of Atlanta’s culinary pulse, recharging you before your next flight with style and substance.
