" I can’t rave enough about Esta Esta! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with genuine hospitality. The decor is charmingly retro, and the menu offers many fantastic Italian options. We started with the antipasto platter, and I was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients. For my entrée, I chose the chicken Marsala, which was cooked to perfection. The server was attentive without being intrusive, which made the dining experience fantastic. I left with a full stomach and a happy heart! Can’t wait to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a pleasant dinner experience at Esta Esta! It's cozy and filled with charming decorations. The wedding soup was great but the main dish was just average. I found the portion sizes reasonable, and the service was adequate. I left feeling satisfied but not blown away. Would consider trying again. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Esta Esta based on the reviews, but my visit fell short. The food was just okay, and the chicken marsala I ordered lacked seasoning. Our server was nice enough, but the time it took for our food to arrive was disappointing, especially when the restaurant was not busy. It had a pleasant ambiance, but I wouldn’t recommend it based on this experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)

" 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*)
