" I tried Ernesto's East recently for a special occasion and it truly lived up to its reputation! The atmosphere was intimate yet welcoming, and the walls are adorned with nostalgic pictures that evoke a sense of family. Our waitstaff was friendly and attentive. We enjoyed the calamari as an appetizer and I was blown away by the flavors! The grilled seafood platter was abundant. I can't recall the last time I ate food that tasted so homemade and comforting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone craving genuine Italian fare. " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing a lot about Ernesto’s, we finally decided to check it out. The food was decent but not as spectacular as we anticipated. The stuffed artichoke was one of the highlights, but the main courses left a bit to be desired. Service was friendly, though. Overall, a nice experience but I have higher expectations next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" The first time I visited Ernesto's East was on a recommendation from a friend, and I was not disappointed. Dinner was incredible from start to finish. The caprese salad was fresh, followed by a pasta dish that was cheesy and satisfying. The owner even stopped by to check on us, which added a personal touch to the evening. I left feeling full and content and can't wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every time I've visited Ernesto's, I have left satisfied. The food is always flavorful and served hot. One dish that stands out for me is the Osso Buco; it was glorious. The wait can be lengthy, so I suggest calling ahead. While the restaurant is small, it creates a cozy experience. Just be prepared to pay a little more for the exceptional quality! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I wanted to love Ernesto's East, I found my meal to be underwhelming. The stuffed peppers were okay but lacked seasoning. Service was pleasant, but we felt neglected during the meal. I hope they can improve since I’ve heard great things about their pasta! I’m undecided about a return visit; maybe next time, I'll try a different dish. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ernesto's East, and I can't express how delighted I was! The moment we entered, we were greeted with warm smiles from the staff. The interior felt like stepping into an Italian grandmother's kitchen. We ordered the veal parmesan and the seafood pasta, which were both packed with flavor. Every bite was a delightful experience! The portion sizes were generous, and we even had leftovers to take home. If you're looking for authentic Italian food, this is definitely the place to go. I'll be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ernesto's is a charming little gem on the north shore! My family had the opportunity to celebrate a birthday here and we were all impressed. The homemade pasta was a standout for me. I tried the fettuccine and it was cooked to perfection. The staff made us feel special. We ordered a variety of dishes, and each one was better than the last. My one complaint would be that it was a bit noisy, but that just adds to the cozy atmosphere! Just a heads up, make a reservation as it fills up fast! " (*Curated Review*)
