In Short – This row house-turned-restaurant features off-white walls and an elegant arch in the center of the small, dimly lit dining room, creating an intimate atmosphere. Self-described "Mediterranean comfort food" relies on earthy flavors and Italian classics, such as fried calamari with mango chutney and piquant pomegranate molasses and butternut squash ravioli in sage butter. Heftier choices include fall-off-the-bone braised lamb in rosemary wine sauce and horseradish and parsnip-crusted salmon in cream. For dessert, order their special tiramisu.
A New Years Eve to Remember!
by phillytransplant
My girlfriend and I went to Ernestos for New Years Eve dinner. The service was great and our waiter was very nice. Initially, my girlfriend ordered the pork chops, which were not to her liking because the cut was a bit tough. Our waiter willingly took the order back and encouraged her to order something else. After settling on the Filet Mignon and the Seafood Pasta, we were both very happy with out meals. The atmosphere was romantic and cozy with warm decor. We would definitely go back
- Pros: Waiter and Owner were very friendly. Atmosphere is cozy
- Cons: None
Great Service and Fine Food

I am a first time customer at Ernesto's and was very pleased with our server Diane. I brought my family in after the show and she was very patient, knowledgeable and friendly. I haven't had service like this in quiet a while. Our time just kept getting better as the dishes came out. I had one of the specials and my wife had the cioppino while our children had their pastas. The food was great. After the meal, Diane offered us lemoncello and dessert which are made by Ernesto's mother and we could not pass either up. Glad we didn?t. Even though we were feed well we each had dessert and they were just like mama used to make! I highly recommend this place and will return with family and friends.
Great customer service

My husband and I have been at Ernesto's countless times on a Saturday Night and the service is always well timed, helpful and friendly. The entree's are always tastfully done and salads are always fresh. I never heard a bad thing about Ernesto's. It is a staple resturant in Philadelphia and we will be back time and time again most especially on a Saturday Evening.
- Pros: service, food, ambience
