In 1970, 35-year-old Umberto Ianniello strolled around New York City’s Little Italy and realized there were only a couple of seafood restaurants in the entire neighborhood. Named after the last Prince of Italy, Umberto kept the idea to himself until he spoke to his parents about his idea of opening a restaurant! His parents encouraged Umberto to realize his dream, and in 1972, Umberto Ianniello opened his first restaurant, Umberto’s Clam House on Mulberry Street in New York City.With an unpretentious atmosphere and an enduring concern for freshness, Umberto worked tirelessly to achieve unprecedented quality and uniqueness at his restaurant. This came to fruition in their open kitchen (which became part of Umbertos alluring ambianc…

Umberto’s was once a highly reputable establishment for a good evening.
We had a good lunch. BYOB was permitted for a $20 cork fee.
Service fell short of expectations. Dining area felt a bit crammed and unorganized.
The glory days of Umberto’s is a bygone era just like the Wiseguys that use to frequent it.

Poor service, mediocre food and horrible drinks. It took an hour for our food to come. The food was cold yet served on a hot plate. The drinks were absolutely gross, I had to send mine back. They remade it and it was still bad. Our drinks were served in plastic cups and we were told it was because they were busy. Others around us had glasses and this was the only restaurant on the street with no wait and we could be seated immediately. It was empty when we arrived whereas the others on the street had 45+ minute wait times. We should’ve seen that as a sign.

I went to Umberto’s Clam House on the day after Valentine’s Day. The restaurant still had the special menu both food and drinks. It wasn’t busy at all maybe because of rain at that day. The reason why I picked this place is because it became infamous for its connection to the mafia “Crazy Joe” Gallo. I wasn’t hungry so all food I ordered were light but can filled me up.
I had Oysters, raw clams, Lobster Bisque and fish salad. I enjoy a Valentine Prosecco, Moscato and good-sweet Tiramisu. Raw bars were fresh, and the soup was delicious!
Jess was our server, and she is very friendly and nice. We paid by cash to avoid and additional 3% if we use a credit card. There are many Italian neighborhoods in NYC and little Italy is one of my favorite areas to go especially during feast time.

While on my whirlwind sightseeing visit to NY to see my daughter and her boyfriend, I told them I wanted to visit an authentic Italian old mob restaurant, and Umberto’s happened to be nearby.
The service was excellent! The food was outstanding! The waiter entertained us with stories of old monsters that used to come to the restaurant. It was a charming visit.

Very intimate and genuine vibes for a date night with your lover or loved one. Michele(sp) and Salvatore go over and beyond to not only make you feel like family but to ensure you leave full and happy! You simply MUST try their lobster fra diavolo. It’s absolute perfection and their seafood is served 100% fresh EVERY TIME! They have an all night happy hour menu for $10 and dinner specials as well! Tell them Ally sent you!

Back in NYC for the week, and Umbertos Clam House didn’t disappoint. Food was very good, as usual. Seafood was fresh, and the wait staff was wonderful. Lived here for 18 years, and moved to Michigan, but when we come back to Mulberry Street, Umbertos is usually our first stop. Dine inside or outside. Either way is great.

We were hungry and tired and we were visiting Little Italy in New York. we were having issues deciding where to eat because there were so many restaurants. But we found a nice gentleman that offered us to choose Umberto’s Clam House. He was also very gentle and took a picture of us. We had the spaghetti with meatballs which was very good and a Margarita pizza. The staff were very friendly, nice and knowledgeable as well. We had a really good dining experience and will return for sure.

Had the lunch specials, eggplant parmigiana with linguine and Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Both were under whelming for $16.95.
Though the eggplant parmigiana was fine, the tomato sauce on the linguine was watery, bland and tasteless. It may have been the leftovers from the previous day and diluted till there wasn’t enough flavor to salt.
The caesar salad was in a mid sized bowl and had the equivalent of… About a quarter of a head of romaine lettuce and half a bowl of croutons. The filled chicken cutlet was approximately 3 ounces in size, if that, and if I had to make a comparison… a Cobb salad from Wendy’s was superior in every way, including taste, portion size and price.
Coffee was not refillable.
One item that was good, was on the regular menu, the grilled octopus. Though this place specializes in seafood, I wouldn’t return for their regular dinner menu, if the quality of their lunch specials are any indication of their dinners.

There are so many great things to say about Umberto’! I had made a reservation online, and I underestimated my public transportation commute from mid Jersey to NYC. I was a little late for my reservation, and they graciously took me right away. The service was wonderful, clean tables, constantly filled water and wine glasses, and THE FOOD!!! Oh my, was seriously beyond delicious. They have a homemade balsamic vinaigrette that is the perfect amount of flavor, not bitter. Their red sauce for the linguine with clams was the best I ever had, and as an Italian girl, I have had my fair share. From appetizer to coffee, it was unmatched. By far my favorite!
