I've been looking for a business class Italian restaurant on the Westside for years, and I've finally got it now. Ernesto's has all the dishes I love (Chicken Picatta, Chicken Cacciatorre, et. al.) and pairs them with good service and a pleasant ambiance. Salads are crisp, soups rich and fresh, and the desserts are good, if monothematic (think cheesecakes). Not only can you take your associates and close friends here, but the booths in the back can also be quite romantic for more intimate occasions. All in all, Ernesto's delivers a high three stars for a value.
Pros: Authenticity, Large portions, Attentive service
Cons: , Open seating areas, Expensive drinks
