We dined at Umberto's 2 or 3 times in 2007 and were satisfied. In May 2009, the experience was very different and entirely unsatisfactory. There was not a single good dish in the meal. In the fritura mista only the courgettes were good; all other ingredients poor. The seafood risotto was very poor in flavour and technical execution. The veal ...

Naples at its best!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/16/08
I am Neapolitan and dine at Umberto's regularly. The owners have managed to create the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, with typical local recipes and a touch of internationalism. With the quality wines and the freshness of the seasonal products you can't go wrong! Staff are friendly and professional. It's good to see ...

Great Neopolitan Eatery
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/24/06
We had a friend's reunion last july at Ristorante Umberto. One of the main reasons we ate there was due to the fact that my wife has a wheat intolerance. The restaurant has an extensive selection of wheat free dishes. They were fantastic. My wife was in seventh heaven. The pasta was fabulous. The roasted chicken juicy, and the veal was ...

Stunning
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/06/06
We stumbled across Umberto's by chance as we ran from the mother of all thunderstorms. Even as drenched rats we were immediately made to feel welcome, and settled in a corner. The clientele was a mix of families, business men, and people just meeting for a bite to eat, but the overall ambience was of people relaxing and enojying some ...

there are plenty of better restaurants in this area
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/13/05
The service was poor. There is considerably better value for what one gets in other restaurants in the general area. Toilets were dark and not very clean. My wife and I, read the yahoo reviews prior to visiting and were disappointed after visiting this establishment.I would not recommend this place to others it is considerably over rated.

Good food and classical guitar player
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/27/05
We had reservations at Umberto's last night, and we had really good time and delicious food. What a place! The food was exceptional and they had a non-smoking area (actually every restaurants in Naples have one!) and a classical guitar player. You really ought to go.

I will not go back
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/25/05
This restaurant is not more than average. The food was o.k. but price-quality does not match. We, our family, were a little bit disapointed about this restaurant. How can one write about music and singing? It was quiet as on a funeral during our dinner. You can find much better places in Naples.

Gluten free meal and excellent service!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/02/05
I Liked the service and the food, expecially gluten free menù: it's one of the few restaurant in Italy where you can choose a dish from a menù if you have gluten allergy.

The tradition of neapolitan meals
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/08/04
I'm from Naples, but I try to write a review in English for let you know some things about Umberto. The Restaurant belongs always at the same family since 1916 and nowaday the third generation are trying to continue the tradition. I'm 55 years old and it remind my childhood, when with my parents used to go there, expecially for Sundays ...
