About Ecco Ristorante

Perched on the Drummoyne waterfront, Ecco pairs Sydney Harbour views with generous, old-school Italian hospitality. Floor teams manage big milestone parties without breaking stride, rolling out separate menus for coeliacs and pivoting schedules when speeches run late. Regulars point to the Terrace Room—where bifold doors open right onto the deck—along with generous plates of blue swimmer crab tagliatelle and charred bistecca alla fiorentina.

  • Harbour-view terrace room: The dedicated Terrace Room connects directly to an open-air deck overlooking Sydney Harbour via bifold doors.
  • Full-scale event catering: Caters functions of 100+ guests with individually plated Italian courses and dedicated separate menus for coeliac diners.

  • Full-Scale Italian Dining with Dedicated Dietary Menus

    Functions of 100 or more guests receive individually plated, generous Italian dishes alongside fully dedicated separate menus to safely accommodate coeliac and other dietary needs.

    The restaurant provided a completely separate menu for guests with special dietary needs, which meant a great deal to me, particularly as my sister is coeliac.

    Every detail, from the seamless floor plan to shifting dessert back on the night because we were well behind schedule reflects the professionalism and care.
