What a beautiful neighborhood Italian experience. The space is warm and inviting. The staff is both completely professional, but also friendly and committed to ensuring that you enjoy your evening. The menu is solid, with nightly specials. All is fresh and generous, nice wine selection. I cannot recommend da Umberto more highly and very much look forward to my next trip to the city for a return visit.
Excellent Italian food but it's not cheap. Try the Caesar salad and the carbonara pasta. Good wine list. Attentive service.
We came on Sunday early afternoon close to closing time yet received great food and attention.The Carpaccio ,Burrata and Chicken Milanese was tasty and light.Outside seating and very refreshing Prosecco for weary travelers🙂.Last but not least the waiters made our visit very enjoyable.
I’ll caveat this review that I had reservations at 2:45 and they close at 3 pm so the situation is not ideal but that’s no excuse for execution at this fine establishment.
I started off with asking for their house white wine. Can’t recall the ambit it was crisp and refreshing, perfect for a lunch meal. Although at $18/glass, you might think twice.
The octopus dish had one flavor:burnt. I didn’t taste anything else. That was a bummer. The spaghetti with clams was out of this world deliciousness it saved the entire experience. Perfectly executed. It may very well be the best spaghetti dish I’ve ever had. The bucatini was also perfectly cooked.
Overall, solid but felt rushed and uneasy, partly because of me but also with the staff running around the restaurant. It’s not a cheap venue so my expectation will be high. Will return as I think this is a one off and the restaurant probably deserves a 5*.
We came here on a Friday night. Busy but seated immediately. Arugula watermelon salad so fresh and tasty. I had veal marsala and licked plate clean!! Excellent
Had a wonderful “date night” with my wife. Service was gr8 as well as the food. They could not have beef more accommodating! Highly recommend!
Really delicious, careful flavours + presentation. The service is as attentive as the plates + I would eat here again + again. Far from pretentious, but as close to perfectĂon as southern Italian cuisine gets without actually having to GO there
Boy is this a taste of Italian American. Food marvellous, service without doubt some of the best we've ever had. Will be back
Da Umberto was a hidden gem, for us, in the neighborhood. We noticed they received a Michelin star this year, so we went for Valentine’s day. It was impeccable. The service was outstanding and the staff perfected the details. (For example, we weren’t provided a food menu until after we got our bread and wine.) This really made the experience enjoyable, and less transactional. The rigatoni was TRULY to die for. Someone at your table must get this. The truffle ravioli was also exceptional, although it is lighter, so it’s better for sharing. I will absolutely be back! Loved our experience.
This was the best restuarant i've vistited in New York city
