Ernesto's Italian Restaurant, Portland, Oregon, Italian Restaurant Details

Food:

Husband liked his chicken picata - chicken would have been better grilled then poached.
Mom couldn't eat the lasagna because it was so salty. Tortellini with pesto sauce was over salty too but didn't have the heart to send it back.
Soups: Minestrone is very salty, chicken Pesto soup is full of mushrooms. Didn't complain, but didn't eat it, so when the waitress came and asked why we didn't eat the minestrone, we said we didn't like it. She said "that's a first" in a sarcastic tone and walked off. Don't ask if you don't want to know and don't try to make me feel bad about not liking your food if I'm not complaining.
Menu said Pesto sauce add $1 but the bill added $2. When questioned, the manager said $1 was for light Pesto sauce. Menu only said "add pesto, $1" so when I showed it to her she acted disgusted with us and marched off grumbling.
Won't be back.

Food:

The food was delicious. The pasta was okay, but the pizza was wonderful. The service was a bit slow but friendly. The decor was cute and made me and my family feel at home. I would defenitly go back.

Food:

Generic bland flavored Italian food. Also we had to wait so long for it, not worth going back

Food:

Perfect place for families. Fast friendly service! The kids menu has lots of options, not just spaghetti and grilled cheese.

Food:

Staff was GREAT; very friendly/knowledgeable. The food is on the higher-priced side and the portions aren't as big as I'd expect an Italian place to serve but none the less delicious and the salad bar was awesome, just wish you were given more than one trip. Decor is inviting. When I went to eat my leftovers the next day, however, I couldn't help but notice the amount of BUTTER that had hardened on my food!! Might go back to try something different.
