" I had a rather disappointing visit to Esta Esta last night. We arrived and were seated quickly, but unfortunately, it took a long time for anyone to come to our table. Once we finally ordered, the food took a while to arrive as well. My pasta was overcooked, and while the flavor was decent, I expected much better given the reviews. On the positive side, the atmosphere had a nice cozy vibe reminiscent of traditional Italian family dining. I might give it another chance, but last night's experience left me wanting more. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is like a time capsule! I got the opportunity to enjoy a meal here last week, and it took me back to my grandmother’s kitchen. We ordered a mix of dishes, including shrimp scampi and the veal Romano, and every single bite was perfection. It’s classic Italian food; you can tell everything is made with love and genuine ingredients. The service was spot on, and the atmosphere felt so warm and inviting. This is my new go-to Italian place in town! I’m excited to explore more of the menu in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had dinner at Esta Esta recently and the food was fantastic! They serve traditional Italian food, and everything tasted so fresh and homemade. I particularly loved the gnocchi that was fluffy and light. The service was good, and I appreciated how quick they were despite how busy the restaurant was. I'd recommend giving this place a try, especially for those craving genuine Italian flavors. " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Esta Esta was more than enjoyable! We celebrated my mother's birthday here and the family-friendly environment made it even more special. The music played in the background created a nostalgic ambiance as we dined. The wedding soup was truly the highlight and richly flavored. The pasta dishes were generous in serving sizes, and we all left with leftovers. The prices were reasonable for what we received. A lovely experience overall, and I will happily recommend this spot to others! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently went to Esta Esta with a group of friends for a casual dinner and it was quite the experience! While the atmosphere feels a bit dated, it's charming in its own way. The highlight of the meal was definitely the wedding soup, rich and full of flavor. However, I had the chicken parmesan and, while delicious, I thought the portion could have been a bit larger for the price point. Service was hit or miss; we felt our waitress could have checked on us more often. Nevertheless, I’d give it a 4 overall and would consider coming back to try other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing so many good things, I visited Esta Esta recently and was very pleased! The staff was welcoming from the start, and the atmosphere was filled with warm, nostalgic decor. I ordered a seafood linguini, and it was full of flavor and had a generous portion. The highlight was definitely the tiramisu dessert which was one of the best I’ve had! I would recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing Italian dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious food, friendly staff, but our experience was marred by slow service. We had the wedding soup, which was good, but could’ve used a little more seasoning. The lasagna had ample cheese and a rich sauce that we enjoyed immensely. The place has a nice old-world charm to it but felt a little cramped. I’ve had better experiences with other Italian restaurants, but it's a solid choice if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)
