    Really good old style Italian with some great specials. I love their scampi, lasagna, and all the chicken dishes. Wish the refrigerators were quieter, but they doesn't distract from the many lovely evenings we've had there. Friendly staff and generous portions.

    If you are looking for a complete Italian dinner which include antipasti plate, sour or salad~ Esposto"s is your Go-To Restaurant. Wonderful selections, evening specials and fabulous service can be found at Esposto's! This restaurant is a deli by day and serves dinner at nite . Lunch can be enjoyed outside in the front patio seating area under umbrellas. Our dinner was delicious and the service was great! Also serves very reasonable house wine by the glass!

    Classic Italian, very generous, and delicious. It's a small, a little bit noisy deli, but the staff are friendly and nice and the food is awesome.

    We frequent Esposto's. The service is great; many improvements have been made over the last few months, including better staff and a nicer interior. The food is awesome. Love the chicken dishes, and the shrimp scampi.

    This is definitely the place to go if you're looking for straightforward Italian food that is inexpensive, filling, and tasty. Esposto's is a deli by day, so it's not the fanciest of restaurants in the evening, but it has a cute homey feel to it. The portions are filling, the food is well prepared, and it's a really good deal - $50 for a full meal including appetizers + a bottle of wine.

    I'm always happy with the meals at Esposto's. The improvements they've made to the interior have made it a much nicer place to dine. I love the tomato soup and all the chicken dishes. They are awesome. And, I love the shrimp scampi. Yum

    It's a quaint little place in a deli, but they've worked on making the dining space more attractive and it worked. The food is delicious. The shrimp scampi is a favorite of my husbands, and I love all the chicken dishes. Generous portions and very nicely prepared.
