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!!

The restaurant is beautiful and the service was wonderful.
Servers were extremely attentive to our needs.
The food was amazing! My friend and I ordered the grilled octopus which was delicious.
Then I got the mushroom ravioli with scallops and my friend ordered the linguini with clams.
We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals.
I already can’t wait to go back!
