Beautiful restaurant and excellent menu and wine list. They offer aged steaks, seafood and traditional Italian dishes. Food was cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. Our server Kate and staff provided exceptional service.

I had a great experience at Umbria in the North End! For our appetizers we had the Mia roll and the Umbria roll, and honestly for an Italian restaurant the sushi was top tier. For our entrees we had the Veal which was surprisingly big and very good, and we also had a seafood pasta that I believe is called Fruti de mare. Very good food and the service was nice, and classy. Our server was funny and she took care of our needs. Overall we had a lovely experience and we will be coming back!

Sat at a table for two next to what seemed to be a stonewall? Service is great. Carlos took care of us every moment and it was quite enough where we can hear each other from across the table. We had something called the Tomahawk cut, which was quite an impressive presentation. That was well prepared by the staff. See picture.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Umbria , an Italian steakhouse in Boston that truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the vibrant neon light atmosphere, which adds a unique flair to the entire dining experience. The ambiance is both lively and inviting, making it the perfect setting for both intimate dinners and celebratory nights out.

Incredible experience! On the recommendation of manager Giovanni Tiberini, my family reserved table 401 for a celebration of our 50th anniversary. This table is perfect for an intimate group gathering. It’s set apart from the second floor dining room, with a glass partition, which was great for us as we can be loud. There were 8 of us and the evening was so special from start to finish. Our servers were Stela and David, and the flow was perfect. We never felt rushed or delayed in any way. The appetizers were delicious and the wine recommendations spot on. We all enjoyed our meals so much. I highly recommend this restaurant for service, food, atmosphere and ambiance. It is particularly perfect for a large group, ask for table 401 in your reservation.

Came here for dinner with a group of eight. Our waiters name was Isaac, who treated us with the perfect blend of humor and knowledge regarding the menu. Started it off with the meatballs, which were my favorite appetizer- but we did also get the oysters, the crab, the lobster tacos and the calamari. For the entrée, I opted for the veal Parm, which was delicious, but could’ve fed two grown hungry people. Will definitely have to be back to try the seafood tower and the other pasta.
Update: seafood tower was great. Also tried the baked stuffed lobster which was just ok

Great dinner experience. I was worried after seeing the low stars but I decide to come over for dinner and judge myself. We ordered the Lobster dumplings, Octopus and Mushroom soup for appetizers and King Salmon and Cioppino for main course. All dishes were cooked and plated perfectly. I can not say anything but great for this place, including service. They deserve nothing but five stars.
Looking forward to coming back and trying the rest of the menu.

Umbria on Hanover Street in Boston’s North End delivered an memorable dining experience from start to finish. Our server, Anthony, was attentive, personable, and highly experienced, making our evening all the more enjoyable. His thoughtful wine and dinner recommendations were spot on, including suggesting a less expensive wine alternative that we ended up loving so much, we ordered a second bottle. The food was just as impressive—our Frutti Di Mare was bursting with fresh seafood and paired perfectly with their homemade pasta in a moderately spicy red sauce (be sure to ask for this version).
We also couldn’t get enough of the Pumpkin Tortellini, which featured a delightful butternut squash filling and was elevated with bacon and sage butter. We finished our meal by sharing the Lemon Tart ; lemon curd with strawberries made with graham cracker crust and topped with meringue!
Giovanni, the manager, added a personal touch by stopping by to introduce himself, making us feel truly welcomed. The combination of outstanding service, incredible food, and a warm atmosphere made for a fantastic evening. We can’t wait to return and experience more of what Umbria has to offer.

Went for Sunday dinner at Umbria. Service was 5-star rating. The place is nice, a bit loud (nothing to worry about). We ordered 4 dishes and one of them was an utter disaster. We ordered the crab cakes and the salmon sushi to start (both were delicious), then the Colorado lamb rack and the Japanese wagyu. The lamb rack was exquisite, but the wagyu was OLD. To be more specific: it tasted like the meat had been covered by an old piece of rag for a very long time. Ruined the entire mood. Anyhow, if you decide to go to Umbria DO NOT get the wagyu.

Great experience! Bar was awesome, had some wine before dinner. Terrific nice, service was spot on. Food was delicious. Had crab cakes for an appetizer, then had the beef rib with polenta. Very very good. My friend had the bison, cooked perfect and delicious. This place was quiet, fun and delicious. A must go!
I went back. Here is the review
Really good. Great wine choices, wait staff excellent, valet parking, great vibe. All three of us ordered the two pound stuffed lobster. It was pretty good, but not something I’d go back for. A ton of money, too much stuffing, couldn’t find the small tail. No knuckles. Not much lobster mostly stuffing. My king crab appetizer was excellent but one leg for $109 was too much. The fried calamari was excellent. Fun and good, worth trying!
