First time trying the food at this restaurant. Was trying to find a good Italian restaurant. I had a hot Italian sausage sandwich with a side salad. Came with bread rolls and they were kinda hard. The sandwich bread was kinda hard. The filling was was very tasty and filling. Service was very good and polite. The portions were very good and price low.

We went here for our anniversary and it was really good. The only downfall was we had an appetizer (ravioli) then a salad and bread by that time I was full, not really a bad thing. My husband managed to eat all of his though and took a dessert home. A REAL piece of cheesecake. We will definitely be back.

Best Steak de Burgo and Chicken Saltimbocca in town, hands down! I also like the Tiramasu and pretty much everything else on this menu! This is the kind of locally-owned, family-owned restaurant everyone wants to support! I highly recommend Tumea & Sons because the food is excellent and reasonably priced! Not only that, but it’s always special from the moment you enter until the moment you drive away.
The full bocce ball court on the patio has to be one-of-a-kind and adds to the experience in the summertime, so that’s something you’ll have to check out once it gets warmer. I always get great service from the entire Tumea family. It’s very family friendly, too. When my kid was a baby, we were about to leave after an excellent dinner and Mr. Tumea came to our table and gave us a bag of extra dinner rolls to-go. He didn’t need to do that, but it was definitely remembered as above and beyond. The food, service, and the environment are very much above and beyond and I hope you give this place your business. They deserve it!

Made reservations for 16 on a Friday night for our 50th wedding anniversary. Got there and the place was packed. Hostess took us to our table right away. Everything was set up perfectly. Our waitress was prompt and her attention to our orders and needs was outstanding. The food was delicious. It came out hot even though the place was packed. It was well worth the trip down from Minnesota to celebrate with family/friends. We’ll be back.

We absolutely love this place. We’ve never had a bad steak — always cooked perfectly and full of flavor. And the house dressing deserves special mention — it’s fresh, unique, and honestly one of the best we’ve had. The consistency here keeps us coming back every time.

Old school comfy. Delicious food every time, very welcoming service, good prices. A long time south side institution. Sometimes there can be a short wait, but that’s because everyone else knows how good it is!

I just went to Tumea&sons for my first time ever tonight and it was absolutely everything I expected it to be and more. I got the steak it was worth it and the Italian 76 drink was delicious and had me feeling great. My waitress was a sweetheart and you could see how attentive all the waiters and waitresses were to their tables. I was impressed and can’t wait to come back.

This is great family owned local spot. Food was amazing. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. Pace of the appetizers, entree, etc. was perfect. I got the Chicken Saltimbocca, my sister the Chicken Marsala. Portions were generous for the price. I will definitely take more friends and family here when they are in town.

I love every meal we get from here. It’s like going to eat with family. Everyone that works there makes us feel so welcome. My favorite is the Diablo pasta, which they have gluten free!!!!!!
