Ernesto's Italian Restaurant

Great service, clean place, itialian atmosphere and classic dishes. Be back to try another dish! Desert good too.

Good happy hour..... good food.....great price. Pretty much the same each time we go. Portions were notably small this time. Cocktails are still solid and inexpensive. Not sure I'll be back as often.

I’ve been coming here since I was a kid and have always enjoyed the food. However, when I dined today around 4:30 pm on 2/7 the service from our waiter was not good. He rolled his eyes numerous times and made comments under his breath. He insinuated I was lying about my age when I asked for a drink menu and when he checked my ID he tried to say it was expired when it clearly was not. Then made a comment about the person I was with age too. I felt targeted with these actions for my age and made the whole thing uncomfortable. Then on top of that he rolled his eyes when I eventually asked for the check as if we didn’t already order a drink, desert, and dinner…

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.

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.

Authentic Italian experience with friendly staff and a relaxing ambience.

The atmosphere is excellent. The service is excellent. The reason for 3 stars, the meatballs were terrible. Worst I have ever had. The tasted stale and freezer burnt. The Calamari was excellent and the Shrimp Scambi was excellent.

Jenny is rhe best!! Absolutely lived her and will be back to request her again!
