We did a Rehearsal Dinner there with 35 people. The service was flawless, they were all professional and personable and the food was excellent. Everything went off without a hitch. Very pleased

Way too expensive for burnt flat bread, restaurant depot appetizers and drinks made with a mix.

Our first time here, food was amazing and staff could not have been more welcoming and friendly! The Chilean bass and salads were delish as well as the charcuterie board. Jean was our waitress and did an amazing job recommending our foods and cocktails and we will definitely be back again.!!

We held our wedding rehearsal brunch at Esca Wine Bar, and it was wonderful. The staff were so accommodating when we realized we hadn’t counted ourselves (the bride and groom) in the guest count and needed 2 more seats, quickly making the adjustments to the tables and to the food. They were able to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions, as well as providing both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages to everyone. Our host even took a group photo for us at the end of the event. We absolutely recommend having an event here at Esca!

We visited for my sister's 60th birthday. We came for lunch and it was superb! The staff was very attentive and the food was served "Hot and Fresh!" I ordered the lobster and crab fettuccine...... the BOMB ?
The portions are bigger than we could ever eat and seasoned perfectly. It was the perfect choice for a celebration. I'm excited to come back and try the dinner menu.

Very good Italian food for a restaurant in a college town like Moddletown. Esca is popular with parents visiting as well as students celebrating milestones.

I stopped into Esca recently as I was looking for Chicken Pacata with artichokes and capers, a lot of places don't include the artichokes. I was close and found the best chicken picata in recent history, lightly breaded chicken in a yummy lemon white sauce, thicker than usual, and more yummy than usual, and look at the artichokes!! The bread and oil served first were also top shelf. Definitely a great restaurant!! Put this one in your calendar to do list!!
