I was so looking forward to trying the carbonara and, unfortunately, it wasn’t that good. The eggs were scrambled 😕 The ambiance is cute and service was good.

Experience was outstanding. Food was great and Matthew our server was really good. Only slight complaint I might have is the size of the high top tables in bar where they seat party’s of 2.

This place is wonderful! I took my girlfriend on a valentine’s day date here last night. As soon as we walked inside the host greeted us with flowers and was incredibly sweet. She immediately took us to our table and got us waters while we waited. We were then greeted by our server who had the perfect amount of energy and kindness. She was amazing. My margarita was so delicious and the food was amazing. We got the shrimp alfredo & chicken parm. We both left full and we’re so happy we chose espositos to enjoy our special day.

We ate here the night before Thanksgiving and when we walked in, I was concerned. There was no one in the restaurant. But we were seated by a very nice young woman, ordered wine and bruschetta and had a lovely time. The ambiance is very nice, a bit Italian rustic but in a good way. We had the ravioli, lasagna and carbonara and all three were very good! I can see where it might be noisy if the place were full but on that night it was perfect! And they serve Four Graces Pinot Noir, which is one of my favorites, by the bottle. We will definitely go back!

We started our meal with the delicious bruschetta and a glass of Pinot Grigio. The bruschetta was crispy and topped with olive oil and Italian veggies. For dinner we both choose the 5 cheese ravioli with bolognese sauce. It was all well prepped and very tasty! We went for my birthday celebration!

I made reservations months ago for a nice family dinner over game day weekend. We have always loved Esposito’s food and were excited to bring our college children and their friends. The water tasted dirty, the wine was great but the lasagna was over cooked- and tasted burned. The chicken parm was tiny and over cooked. The server was really sweet- it was not her fault. The room was extremely loud- not sure why but we couldn’t hear each other talking. Very disappointing experience.

3rd time there - a nice, intimate experience for a restaurant on the main street. I feel cozy in there - but there are also group tables and I see couples, groups of young people, folks at the bar - it seems to suit everyone. Service was excellent. Pasta could have been a little more al dente, but the sauce was delicious and the brussel sprouts were excellent - perfect balance of sweet and salty.

The pork tenderloin was fabulous!!! I will order this every time so keep it on the menu!! My son loves the fettuccini Alfredo with chicken licking the plate clean! I thought the wine pour size was small although the price per glass was reasonable.

Loved Esposito's for Auburn Family Weekend. The kids loved it, food was great and service was fantastic. We had a reservation, which was honored (excellent) and we ordered our food - everyone loved their meals. The place is very vibrant. The college kids loved it and were excited about the ample portions. The prices were very reasonable for what we got. We would go again.
