The suace and spice on the food is done just right to highlight the flavors of the food. The chicken was moist and tender, not at all chewy, that allowed the flavor of the olive oil and truffle to really shine. Deliscious food, friendly place, I highly recommend it. In fact, I'm going back again soon bringing more friends.

We started w/ a pizza, and crust was perfectly crispy and soft where it counts. Spaghetti ala carbon melted in my mouth -- best I've ever had, and I ordered it on back-to-back visits. The risotto w/ chanterelles was creamy and yummy, and the spinach ravioli was soft and so flavorful -- sublime, really. We only ate one piece of their bread, so as not to spoil dinner, but wow, fresh from oven! Wine list featured some outstanding local wines, which the staff were well familiar and knowledgeable. Friendly and accommodating staff, air conditioned (hot Aug '18), comfortable (we sat inside on 2d floor) -- In sum, outstanding experience!! Cheers! RS

The host is very warm and welcoming. The menu has English descriptions We ordered: Ravioli con fiori di zucchini, stracciatella e pomodorini: It was delicious and they divided into 2 plates as our appetizer. All ingredients fresh and soft bread to clean it all up in the end. Costolette di Agnello con verdure di stagione: These lamb pops were thick and juicy with a very tasty crumb and herb crust. Amazing flavor combinations, bravo. Guancette di Maiale Brasate e pure di patate: Braised pork cheeks with mashed potatoes This was a very flavorful dish as well! The meat just falls apart and when combined with some of the potatoes makes for a delicious mouthful! Finished off with a Tiramisu Everything we tried was perfect. We gave 4 stars due to our server being worth about 2 stars. He was obviously treating us poorly and ignoring us due to the fact that we are Americans. Acting very distant and not helpful. He was very polite and helpful to the Italian families around us. He took their orders before ours, when they sat much later than us and he was very short when dealing with our table. He never checked on our table and we had to order dessert from the busboy. The rest of the serving staff was delightful.

We dined Al fresco, they had tables set up outside which was perfect, the view of the piazza was wonderful. The service was impeccable, since our Italian is very limited they were kind enough to help us through the menu options which by the way were also in English. For our meals I had the steak which was cooked perfectly and it was served with potatoes which I hear are excellent but because of dietary reasons I switched to other veggies which was delightful. My girlfriend had the lamb chops which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Our friend ordered the tuna which was really good. For dessert we shared the tiramisu and the crème brûlée. They were magnificent. What are perfect dining experience and to top it off the price was unbelievable! What a gem!

Just be aware that you won't be getting "American" sized portions MOST places you go in Italy but I was satisfied when I left. Food wasn't very greasy and most of it is home made. We ate a chocolate log for dessert which was out of this world. Can't wait to return.

We enjoyed a typical Italian meal (i.e. 2+ hours) during a long weekend in Brenzone sul Garda, one of many picturesque towns on the lake, just a few minutes up the road from Umberto's. We started with the Gran Frito Misto. Even though it was listed in the menu as a secondi, our waiter humored us and let us have it as an antipasti. The assortment of fried seafood and veggies was delish! I loved the calamari and shrimp. Even the sardines weren't bad! After that, we moved on to antipasti and secondi. My sister and I ordered the lasagne because it's a minimum 2 person dish. My hubby ordered the steak because... well... men like red meat? Y'all. I need to wax poetic about this lasagna for a minute. It was super creamy, bubbly and hot. Layers and layers of fresh noodles with a savory meat ragu sauce on top and prosciutto cotto and mushrooms sprinkled throughout. All served in a GIANT cauldron, easily enough for four people even though it was billed as a two person dish. The steak was good, too. And, we also enjoyed the sautéed potatoes. But seriously. Get. The. Lasagna. If you are still reading at this point (why aren't you on your way to Lake Garda for the lasagna?!), I suppose my last anecdote is that the house red wine was delicious.

We didn't have a reservation, but luckily the staff kindly allowed us to squeeze in for a course before the busy Italian dinner hour around 7:30. We really appreciated the gesture and their hospitality. With so many restaurants to choose from, it can be hard to find a place that feels genuinely local while also delivering great quality. We ordered the bigoli pasta and the beef cheeks, and both were phenomenal. Everything was delicious, and we were so happy we managed to squeeze in. Definitely worth seeking out--especially if you're looking for a quieter, authentic spot away from the crowds! No pictures of our food because we ate them so quickly! But trust me, they are amazing!

The place is family owned and run according to the best Italian tradition for trattoria. Super friendly and smiling people all over giving you any advice about the super delicious traditional food you are going to order. Starter with prosciutto, culatello, salame and pancetta is a must. Deliciousness for your taste buds and wow, how good was that piece of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese..... wooooooo!!! My first main dish was Tortelli di Zucca (pumpkin kind of ravioli) served with a very local soffritto sauce. Woooooooooooooooo!!! The capelletti were also super good and really like my mother's.... Yesssss!!! I stopped here but the second dishes were all super ones. Ok, nothing dietary or vegetarian, but this is all about super traditional tastes and super comforting northern Italian food. Like being on a Christmas banquet :) Local Lambrusco red wine is the one to drink. Nothing else. Rustic but so fitting the taste. I could not refrain from tasting the dessert and I went for Zuppa Inglese, can.t translate, but if you never got it..... you definitely miss something delicious. Espresso of course and yes, grab the bottle of Nocino to sip this Amaro while you chit chat and end this spectacular dining experience. So, tradition with real care to great tastes enhanced from "you are guest at my home" type of welcoming atmosphere. Not expensive. Book in advance as the place is small and can get crowded. Ohh, I did not mention, all over the walls pictures and posters from the cult Italian movies I mentioned earlier. They are proud of them, and so it should be :)
