Ernesto's Italian Restaurant

"The most welcoming worm feeling of Italy restaurant. I walked into that I can remember. Anna Sophia was the perfect representative of that place."

"Quality family Italian food in the area, one of the best I've tried (if not the best) in Washington County. Their marinara and meat sauces taste homemade and delicious, an excellent choice of comfort food after a long day. I'd recommend the alfredo as well, and the gnocchi goes well with any sauce. The angel hair pasta is lovely when you want something lighter, and they give you the option of smaller servings for a slightly lower price. I've ordered takeout a couple of times here through food delivery apps but tried this place with my partner for the first time this week and we had a great experience. The food is affordable and they give you a lot of options for pastas. Desserts are on the expensive side, but still quality. This is a place I'd definitely want to come back to."

"If you ever want to enjoy the true taste of Italy, this is a must stop. From the bread to the Chicken Parmesan to the Afredo... everything will fill your tummy and taste buds. Get dessert if you dare, also amazing. Best true Italian cuisine in Portland."

"The service was great. The atmosphere is pleasant. The food was great. Don't fill up on the bread like I did. Calamari has the perfect amount of fluffy and fluffy texture. Lasagna was full of flavor and had a good amount of meat in the sauce. Spaghetti must have been good. The kids ate it so fast. I had almost forgotten what he ordered. The seafood in Alfredo was decent. I would've liked more cheese flavor. Over all it a place worth going to over and over again."

"I want to start out with saying that places like this are truly hard to find these days. I made reservations for my birthday dinner online with my family. My kids are older so they rarely pay attention to their old mom anymore. I was looking forward to this dinner all week. We have never been to Ernesto’s and were super excited to try it out. When we arrived our reservation never got added to the list. The manager lady made it right for us when I showed her the confirmation email. She got us a table quickly and gave me the most sincere apology ever. She truly cared. I felt so bad about the whole thing cause she turned it around and made it amazing. Our waiter was hilarious. We absolutely loved his sense of humor. It was like his sense of humor matched perfectly with ours. The manager bought me one of my glasses of wine for the mix up. The food was amazing. When we went to leave I made sure to stop to say goodbye to the manager. We just walked up to each other and immediately hugged. She wished me a happy birthday and apologized again. I would recommend that if you make reservations online with them to call and confirm them. She also said to do that next time we book. If you want a lame franchise experience then go elsewhere. If you want a wholesome ma and pa type of experience then go here! It’s worth it! I promise! As someone who constantly works to provide the best experience to my clients I always appreciate seeing other people do the same. It’s something that’s so hard to find these days. They truly made repeat customers out of us. We will go back often! Thank you Ernesto’s for making my birthday dinner amazing!"
