I never post reviews but this was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a very long time. The service was horrible. My friend and I had to ask for menus, ask for water and ask for someone to take a drink order. The restaurant was not crowded at all (two other tables). We waited a long time for the food which was just o.k., very marginal! We had to ask for a coffee and a dessert menu!

Ernesto’s is a north shore treasure and our family’s favorite restaurant! We have been been going there since 2006 when Ernie and his wife owned it. We have enjoyed countless outstanding meals at Ernesto’s with our friends and extended family.

This place was amazing. We have my sister-in-laws baby shower there today and what a great time! The owner and staff did an amazing job so friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious. I highly recommend this place!

Great food and such a nice staff! Small, cozy place with plenty of parking at the Glen Head train station. Can’t believe I haven’t been until now. Really good menu. The stuffed artichoke, tender, lemony chicken & veal francese, and bolognese special made with chicken/veal/pork/duck were all delicious! Look forward to coming back, especially to try all the dishes with the name Ernesto’s in it.

Be sure to stop in to this classic Italian eatery. Dylan seems to have the right idea keeping the original menu and adding new and inventive specials! We had the eggplant rollatini, sauteed mushrooms, stuffed artichoke and penne a la vodka which were all delish. Highly recommend…

Horrible experience. My wife and I had reservations. We arrived a few minutes early and were told we were too early. Totally ignored and we ended up leaving. Owner or manager was a liar and said he had called us that table was ready and he didn’t. Karen and her husband would be ashamed! We have dined at Ernesto’s since the 1980s when they were in Bayside.

Exactly what you dreamed of when you wanted a small, quaint, intimate, local Italian restaurant. Dylan & his team are on point with service & food. I am a fan & will be back again & again.

Food is excellent. Service and owner were terrible. A meal came out wrong TWICE. The second time, the owner said “I know what the tortellini looks like, are you sure that’s what you ordered?”. Yes, I also know what tortellini looks like

We’ve lived here for 11 years and never tried Ernesto’s. We went last night for our anniversary and couldn’t have been more happily surprised. The food was fantastic and the service was great. We’re going to make up for lost time by heading to Ernesto’s whenever family or friends are in town. What a gem for Glen Head; so glad we’ve discovered it finally. We recommend this place heartily – but it’s an intimate setting so make sure to check for a table or make reservations before you go.

Lovely place, very quaint with a cool history of being a German butcher shop originally. We happened to stop in on a Thursday after being recommended by local friends. Dylan (the owner) was lovely along with the rest of the staff being attentive. Ceasar salad to split, the Tortellini Ernesto (no peas, substituted with mushrooms) and the Chicken Milanese. There was enough for leftovers! And the tiramisu that we took to go was by far the BEST both of us had ever had.
