Great way to indulge your appetite for Italian Cuisine! – San Francisco is a favorite destination of my wife and mine. We were staying at the W Hotel and ringing in the new year of 2007. We stumbled across Ristorante Umbria. It was a lunch that we will never forget. My wife is very hard to please when it comes to appealing to her pallet. She endulged in a Lobster Ravioli that only left her wishing we could enjoy this wonderful "Umbria Delight" in Scottsdale AZ. I am looking forward to the next time we visit the beautiful cit... read more

Unbelievably rude host overshadows good food – Each year when we visit San Francisco, we eat at this restaurant because it is close to our hotel and the food has always been reliable. I have often recommended it to colleagues and clients, and have never had any problems. This year was so different, the only word I can think of to describe the experience is "surreal." The owner ruined what had been a very nice evening by targeting our table for his lame card tricks. He then threw down multiple $100 bills and demanded that one... read more

Unique, Romantic surroundings – I stumbled upon Umbria while waiting for my sister who was in a meeting nearby. I was in a bad mood, hungry and tired. I walked in just as they were finishing up lunch. Nonetheless, the owner escorted me to a table promptly and sent over a glass of wine. I felt at home and surrounded by beauty. That day I only had a salad but I have been back 2 more times to savor the wonderful, unforettable food. The Tiramisu is the best in town! The owner and all of the employees have always been welcoming, ... read more

Home of the Well Done Pizza – Ive dined at dozens of pizzerias/Italian restaurants around SF. The opportunity arose to check out Umbria w/some out of town friends. The appetizers werent noteworthy, nor was the pasta or seafood. Im convinced the good reviews were written by Umbria employees. No one was happy w/the food or inattentive staff. When my pizza arrived the waiter said well done Funghi e Salciccia for you. Puzzled, I explained I didnt order anything well done but would try to eat it. He took it away quickly saying I ... read more

Friday Night Out – The gentleman answering the phone was nice enough, the niceties however ended before we even arrived. From beginning to end not one employee smiled/greeted/thanked us. We were rushed to order our food within 5 minutes of being seated. The group I was with ordered a variety of appetizers and dishes. As it turned out the appalling olive oil was a prelude to what we would receive. The unappealing presentation of everything only added to the indelectable plates of food. Nothing was finished. No one offered to ... read more

Buon Appetito at Ristorante Umbria – Umbria makes you feel like one of the (Italian) family - Giulio will probably give you a double-cheeked kiss and make you feel welcome in his comfortable restaurant. Very convenient to Moscone Center and the Financial District (and on the way to Pac Bell Park).

Wonderful Discovery – My favorite food is Italian. I was in town for a conference at the Moscone Center and one day at lunchtime I headed east on Howard looking for somewhere unique to eat. I passed a few restaurants when I finally "discovered" an Italian restaurant - Umbria. From the start I was mesmerized! The place is beautiful, the owner greeted me warmly and, since I was alone, sat me immediately at the bar (after asking if it was ok). The tortelloni was excellent! The sauce with mushrooms and pancetta was terrific. The... read more

The best buy in town!!!!! – I stumbled onto Umbria while passing by on my way to work one day. The food was amazing considering price,quantity, and quality. The service was impecable. The owner Giulio made me feel like one of his family. Also a great place to take a date. Make Umbria your next dining stop. You will not be sorry. Bon Appetit!!
