The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. The upstairs bar is pretty loud so I kind of wish I had known that is where we’d be seated. But overall I had a great time and will be back soon!

The nights special pasta for 12/2/23 was very small in portion. It was our first time here. Ken the waiter made up for our discontent with dessert. Good customer service! Otherwise, great ambiance!

We have had a gift card for some time, and just hate going into Boston, especially the North End where parking is abysmal!!! Boy, was this worth the drive and horrendous parking! I had the Frutti di Mare which was delicious! My husband had the veal parmigiana! I have never seen veal parmigiana like Umbria’s! Huge veal chop, butterflied on the bone breaded and prepared parmigiana style! Presentation was amazing as was the flavor! Could easily be shared by two people!

We went to Umbria for a birthday celebration. Overall it was good, but given the number of amazing options in the area we wouldn’t return to Umbria. Our server was good and attentive. He gave us some recommendations for both drinks and food. We started with the burrata salad, seafood fry, and sushi. It was all tasty but not outstanding. For entrees we had tuna, bison, filet mignon, and spaghetti, and lobster mash as a side. The tuna was probably one of the best tuna dishes I’ve had. Very simply prepared, which I like. A bit salty though - I was so thirsty the rest of the night. We skipped dessert and went to Modern. Overall, it’s a nice place to try for a special occasion.

Sensational ambiance to celebrate my dad’s birthday! Love the vast menu selections— tried the special 120 day rib eye, sushi watermelon crudo, short rib pasta, fries, and gnocchi side. Ken was our server and he was incredible— Umbria is lucky to have him! Can’t wait to go back and check out the rooftop. We also noticed a private dining space that would be awesome for a small party. Great addition to the north end!

The food and beverage options were all top notch. The vibe was upscale but friendly. The appetizers especially the lobster tacos were great. Extensive and expensive wine list (~3x retail) but something for everyone. Our waiter (Antonio?) was fantastic

The first floor feels cold - both bc the front door is sometimes open and bc it’s a small, impersonal dining space. The bar area is rocking in the first floor, though. Tina tartar was exceptional, truffle infused burrata was too “truffley”. Food was good but pasta portions were on the small side. 2nd floor seemed better for dining and if you want roof deck you have to make a res for “Mia”.

I really enjoyed my visit to Umbria. The service was excellent. The restaurant is primarily an Italian steakhouse but they have a nice selection of various foods. Noise level was a little too high at times but that's me. Wait staff were excellent.

Outstanding Food and service. Had taken a guest from Australia who was very impressed with the atmosphere and level of service. The server made excellent recommendations and was professional in every respect. Had the Burrata, Short Rib, Rack of Lamb and signature skillet chocolate chip cookie. We will be back as soon as we can.

This was our 2nd visit to Umbria, and we were very disappointed. While both the appetizers and entrees were very good, the service was extremely slow. After getting our cocktails and wine and placing our order, the appetizers didn't come for 30 minutes. Then, it was 45 minutes before our main course arrived. During the delay, our server was appologetic, and at one point, he came by and assured us that it would be out literally "in 1 minute". Well, that didn't happen. After another 10 minutes, the maitre'd came by and apologozed. About 5 minutes later, the entrees finally came. For the prices that Umbria charges, I expect both exceptional food AND exceptional service. That didn't happen. I'll chalk it to a busy Saturday night, and will probably try it again. But if this is standard practice, it will be my last time.

We truly enjoyed our date night at Umbria! The only thing we disliked was the dining room wasn’t full but we were seated extremely closely (2x 2 person tables) next to a noisey couple. Overall, the drinks and wine selection was quite impressive. The main were incredible- I had the lobster dumps with caviar and my husband had the short rib. 10/10, no notes. Excellent service as well. Check it out for your next date night!

This is a fabulous restaurant. Filippe and his team make the food exceptional. Giovanni and his team provide stellar service- nothing goes by him- no matter how small the detail he is on it. Jesus and Alan are fantastic. This is a restaurant that hits all notes at the highest level- all you can expect from a fantastic restaurant- great ambience, great service and great food.
