Ordered pizza and calzone to pick up.

Some of the best Italian food I’ve ever had for sure. You need to do yourself a favor and go to this place as soon as possible. I had the marsala and the wine that they used to marinate that is absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to go back!

Food is decent. Service is really really slow. Their focaccia bread is good ( plus it is free). I liked their thin crust pizza thick crust was not that good. Pasta and soup are ok. Garlic bread was decent.

I just recently rediscovered this wonderful restaurant. It was a go-to place for myself and my friends in another location. And just this last year I became a customer again. The food is wonderful… Some of the best Italian food I’ve had. The atmosphere is family-friendly and romantic at the same time. And the service, it’s like having family wait on you.

This was the second time I’ve been to Ernesto’s. The first time was late 2020 so dine in wasn’t an option, but they had takeout, which I enjoyed. One great thing is that I cannot eat cheese, thankfully there are plenty of choices that don’t have cheese.

Great restaurant to dine at! Had a wonderful experience here, waiter was really nice and food was served very quickly! Really recommend the Grilled chicken side! The smell of the grilled chicken is to die for. A little understaffed at open but still had a fantastic time! Great date place, quite and secluded booths!

If I could leave no stars I would. The quality and quantity of food is awful for the prices charged! Salad has spoiled rotted lettuce on it. We did not receive two of our salads, we ordered full orders of pasta and received very small portions. Zucchini was soggy. Worst first time experience ever, and definitely will not recommend to my family or friends and will not be returning as customers.

My dinner was very good except I don’t like focaccia bread, so I asked for sourdough. It usually in the past would come with melted butter. The bread was so old, I ordered garlic bread. It was very sad, I didn’t know what it was as it appeared to be lightly toasted old bread without a taste of butter. I had to smell it to see if there was a garlic smell.

Ordered a That’s Amore and there was barely any pepperoni on it. Also, they forgot to add the tomatoes (has happened before a couple times). One thing is for sure they are consistent with being inconsistent. I sure do miss Garlic Jim’s.
