Da Umberto, the fine, old-fashioned Italian restaurant, draws regular patrons who appreciate, the excellent food, service and ambiance.

Antipasti include salads, fresh fruit, cold and hot vegetables, breads, cheeses and Tuscan soups. Pastas, steaks, veal and chicken dishes predominate as entrées, and the tiramisu is the dessert of choice. Jacket and tie are optiona... read more

Overall Great Experience – First of all, I cannot understand how anyone can say the service here is not wonderful. My husband and I were treated excellent by everyone from the coat check lady, to thewaiter, to even the owner! In addition, the food was fabulous. I was able to get just what I was craving and both my husband and I enjoyed our meal very much. We both repeatedly said that our pastas were one of the best we have ever had! We look forward to taking our friends here to experience the wonderful meal again!
Waste of Time and Money - Not Relaxing – I was always curious about this place, now I know its worth avoiding. Not worth our time or money. Too many waiters kept pushing water bottles and wine at us. The wine list is expensive and can put you in an uncomfortable situation if you want a simple meal with reasonable wine ($50-60 is the minimum) our $80 wine bottle was OK but not great, obviously great markup for them as they were very enthusiastic about pouring more and more. Food arrived quickly but pasta was too salty and oth... read more
nice.. i liked. – the service was wonderful, pleasant and attentive. i had a calamari special and filet mignon, both of which seemed a bit salty -- still, everything else (i picked off the plates of others) was fantastic and i really enjoyed the experience.
Pretentious (Service) – I entered Da Umberto because I was intrigued by an authentic Tuscan restaurant in Chelsea. However, the service was horrendous and the waitstaff made it known that the traffic in the restaurant made you, "the customer," a replaceable commodity. I resided in Florence, Italy and when inquiring about the availability of a Tuscan favorite (which was not available), the waiter attempted to make me look foolish in the presence of a significant other. Ignoring the merits of the cuisine (which was par at best... read more
Wonderful – I try to take anyone visiting me in NYC to this place. The food is always excellent! The decor is nice. The food is excellent. The wait staff is very attentive. The food is excellent. Guests always seem to be dressed up for a nice night out. And the food is excellent.
Gutsy red-sauce Italian fare rules at this convivial Chelsea stalwart. – The Scene Da Umberto, with its bold fire engine-red exterior, is one of the most boisterous, male-dominated restaurants in downtown New York. Decor, unfortunately, is a weak point--there's an exposed air-conditioning duct and press-board ceiling offset by marble floors. Italian conversation fills the room, and waiters will occasionally speak it exclusively to guests. The Food Simple preparations, using only fresh ingredients, are the hallmarks of owner ... read more
Da-Vino! – Da Umberto is a great choice for a big date night out. At first unassuming, the food was delicious and by the end of the evening I was in love with the place! The waitstaff was very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back!
Da-Licious – I had known of this place for ages but never went in. A group of clients nearby call it their favorite restaurant. I didn't expect much more than another decent meal when I stopped by with my girlfriend one evening. I was pleasantly overwhelmed. The food was rich in taste and texture. The prosciutto was perfectly moist and melted in our mouths. Entrees were served on time and were worth every penny. Try the desert, it is worth saving room for.
Huge Mistake – We had a 9pm dinner reservation and were not seated until 9:45 (even though close to 20 people came and were seated after we arrived). Our waiter took his sweet time bringing the menus and telling us the specials and it wasn't until almost 10:15 that we put our order in. Besides the horrendous wait, our waiter left the restaurant after we had our appetizers without telling us, another waiter brought us another couple's appetizers, and we were generally treated the whole night as if we had the plague. The food ... read more
