" I visited Ernesto's for lunch recently, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The inside was charming, and the staff was welcoming. I ordered a margherita pizza, and while it had a decent flavor, I found the crust to be a bit underwhelming. The fresh basil and mozzarella were great, and the salad bar was a nice touch, but overall, I just expected more authenticity in the flavors. Definitely a good place for a quick lunch, but I might not be returning for dinner anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" My overall impression of Ernesto's wasn't what I expected. The service was slow even though it was a quiet night, and the food was okay but definitely not remarkable. My companion and I were looking for a place to celebrate our promotion, and while the food was edible, it lacked that wow factor. I had the fettuccine alfredo, and it was slightly bland. I hope they improve because the environment is lovely. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience! The food at Ernesto's was exceptional. I enjoyed a classic spaghetti carbonara that was well-balanced, not overly creamy, and packed full of flavor. The atmosphere was sophisticated, and the staff was genuinely friendly and attentive. The owner made quick rounds to check on everyone, which is always a plus! I can confidently say this is my new favorite Italian restaurant. I can't wait to come back for more delectable dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ernesto's is the restaurant you want for a cozy dinner among friends or a special date. The menu has plenty of options, but the seafood pasta stole the show for me. It was perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of fresh herbs. Our server was excellent; she recommended the tiramisu for dessert, and it did not disappoint! My only complaint is that I wanted a bigger portion to enjoy every bite more. I'll definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful time at Ernesto's! It was our first visit, and we felt right at home. The staff was welcoming, and the atmosphere was warm. We ordered the bruschetta to start, which was fresh and tasty, followed by their homemade ravioli. Both were marvelous! We had to try the gelato for dessert, which was fantastic. I highly recommend visiting if you're looking for a genuine Italian meal in a welcoming environment! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! My partner and I visited Ernesto's for our anniversary, and we were delighted by the service and the food. The ambiance is warm and cozy, making it a perfect spot for a romantically intimate dinner. We had the chicken parmesan and lasagna, both of which were rich in flavor and presented beautifully. While the portions could be larger, we left feeling satisfied. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic Italian food in a relaxed setting. " (*Curated Review*)

" Ernesto's is where you go for authentic Italian meals made with love. The owner Chris is dedicated to maintaining a high standard of food quality and service. I had a delightful time during my visit. My friends and I ordered multiple dishes, and every one was impressive. The lasagna and tiramisu were the standout favorites. The pricing is fair for the quality you receive. This is a restaurant that truly cares about its patrons! " (*Curated Review*)
