Ordered take out from here for dinner today, for the second time and had a good experience. I tried the Portobello salad, which I asked for without tomatoes but they did add them. I removed them so it's not a huge deal. Besides that the salad was great, all ingredients were fresh and the portion was huge. The baked ziti was absolutely delicious and my favorite. I split some of this and the portion was enough for two people. It also came with bread and a side caesar salad. Overall, I would come here again! The service was good and the food was fresh.
We've been living here for 21 years and have only ever stopped in for a few slices of pizza during lunch. On this occasion, we had the opportunity to eat dinner here and it was surprisingly good. Service was very good. We started with a bottle of inexpensive red wine and some baked clams. The wine was totally acceptable and the baked clams were fresh, plump, seasoned well and served with a rich sauce (maybe olive oil and butter?-but very flavorful and perfect for dipping the complimentary, warm Italian bread). Our entrees were the scallops with risotto, linguine with white clam sauce, and the homemade sausage with broccoli rabe and sweet red peppers. Scallops were on the small side, but fresh and delicious, as was the risotto, served correctly, al dente, still slightly firm in the center. Linguine with white clam sauce included plump littlenecks in a flavorful, garlicky olive oil base, pasta was also just a touch past al dente, but totally delicious. The best dish of the night was the homemade sausage and broccoli rabe served with a side of linguine and marinara sauce. The sausage was juicy, not over cooked and the broccoli rabe was sauteed in sliced garlic and garnished with some sweet red pepper slices as well. The fennel wasn't strong and not overly salted. The serving size was generous and easily served 2. We finished up with some cappuccinos. Totally surprised that we haven't eaten dinner here sooner and also slightly surprised by the low ratings. Dinner for 3 with an appetizer and bottle of wine, tax and tip, just slightly under $200. Pretty fair for the quality, quantity and service. Manhasset is home.
The rabe, sausage pizza was yummy even though the crust was a bit soggy. The neopolitan was very good but I feel the crust is off. Maybe they're using a different flour now. Good service even though restaurant was empty and hostess asked if I had a reservation. Lol.

Im being generous by giving 4 stats. Overall, the food was good - the clams had a lot of flavor and the branzino dish I ordered was broiled to perfection. The atmosphere is simple, like a glorified pizzeria, which is totally fine. My only complaint is the service- our waiter kept rushing us. After only a minute of sitting down he came to take our order. Then he came back a moment later. When we did place our order he didn't ask if we wanted any beverages. I asked if we could place a drink order and when I ordered my glass of wine he walked away without even asking what my friend wanted to drink. I don't know what the rush was... it wasn't a busy evening. Other than that we had a good experience, but I'll probably stick with the location in New Hyde Park and King Umberto's in Elmont. read more

Surprised by my rating - me too! This score was for the whole experience - ambiance/food/service/variety. Based on the Yelp reviews I read before coming here, I was thinking it'll be an ok place. For this dinner, I was either in this place on a very good night or the reviewers got it wrong?! Didn't even sound like the same place - puzzling. I was here on a Saturday night, no reservation. Since it was already close to 8:30pm, figured I had a chance to snag a table given the lackluster reviews. It also closes at 10:30pm so I also figured I'm going in on the last dinner service. My party of five waited between 8-10 minutes and then we were seated. The dining room is divided into two sides it would seem. One side for take out slices and dining for two (single booths) and the other, tables with chairs and one large banquette table in the front. That table looked cozy and perfect for 5-8 people. Do ask for that if you can reserve it. Eventually towards the back of the dining room, the space opens up. Much more comfortable tables back there. More elbow room and you'd be less on top of one another. Throughout the evening, the manager checked in on us a few times and even chatted us up with his recommendations. The wait staff while super busy, made sure to check in with us all throughout the ordering process and the meal. Truth be told, I barely had room for dessert but I just had to squeeze it in. My kids also wanted dessert since they shared a pizza as their dinner. So we ordered a few things to share. (Must try: the Nutella pizza - the crust on this was excellent! The way the Nutella/hazelnut spread was warm and gooey!) The hot food: Everyone's had Mussels before, especially the white or red sauce... This place presented a pesto and white Cannellini bean option - that was the one for me. I encouraged my family to try a different one and it was a win! The pesto sauce was refreshing and made the Mussels appetizer a much livelier dish than the usual. The surprise, the white Cannellini beans they mentioned were actually chick peas. Not sure if the menu is wrong or the kitchen figures it's the same (it's not) but it still worked in this dish. Good from the top to the bottom, bread on the side to sop up some of that sauce. Liked this a lot! Mussels were also medium sized not small, pleasant surprise since it was an appetizer. I ordered the veal osso bucco for my entree, braised 5 hours!! That sold it for me when the manager said that. It came with a plate full of cavatelli pasta. One complete dish. Everyone kept eying my entree and everyone asked for a taste. It was that good!! It was also a special that evening so in case you don't see it on the menu, that's why. It came with a mini spoon too, so I could scoop out the marrow. Heaven on a plate! The other entrees were also great: pasta primavera and the Shiitake mushrooms and shrimp pasta. See pics. Dinner was a hit! Everyone wants to return. Go figure, we found another place thankfully near me that the whole family can enjoy. Pizza was delicious!! read more
Stopped by for a pizza dinner with friends. Ordered two pies. One was the Neapolitan pizza and the other was the grandma with broccoli rabe and sausage. The Neapolitan was average and nothing special about it. The crust layer is medium and not thin crust in case you like it on the thin side. The grandma pizza was delish and highly recommended. It can be a little salty due to the sausage for those salt sensitive but not excessively salty. Would give the Neapolitan pizza a 3 star rating and the grandma pizza a 4 star rating. Feel good pizza establishments should always have good Neapolitan style pizzas at a minimum base to start. read more
Super friendly staff, had multiple recommendations and kept our waters filled. The pasta was amazing, linguine was cooked perfectly and blended well with the pink cream sauce, shrimp was cooked perfectly as well and very large pieces. The pizzetta was a bit too charred on the edges and was smaller and thinner than I would have liked. Personally I'll stick with the normal pies next time. read more

Always a solid pick with solid prices. Grandma with 3 toppings almost $40.... Food is delicious... read more
Came on a Friday afternoon, we were the only customers in the restaurant but yet my food still took over 30 mins. Everything came out very slowly, my family soup came out first before my salad which didn't make any sense to me. They do have a nice lunch menu where you can choose 2 different things from paninis, soup, salad or pasta for $11.50. My family got 3 different pasta, I ordered the garlic oil penne with shrimp, the server asked me how many shrimp I wanted I asked her how many it comes with she then says as many as you want so I asked for 5, few minutes later she comes by to tell me it comes with 2.. So why ask how many I wanted .. that didn't make any sense to me at all. The flavors in the pasta was okay a bit too dry also could be a bit better. read more

I did not know there was a Manhasset Umberto's so stopped by for the 1st time. The Buffalo and Margarita slices were delicious. Great crust, fresh mozzarella for the Margarita, and delicious marinara sauce served hot and fresh. The crust is a little thinner than other pizzarias, which is a nice change. Great service, clean bathroom, and beautiful large storefront window lets all the sunshine in! read more

MAMA DOESN'T COOK HERE ANYMORE (Provide feedback at your own risk) OVERVIEW We provide consumers with Professional Observations and Risk Analysis. In that regard, we admire establishments that recognize the lost art of Good Management and Customer Satisfaction. In this review, we found that family management was no longer present at this facility - resulting in serious food, service, and potential safety issues. Local Manhasset management exhibits consistent delinquencies - subject to serious review and reorganization. In fact, local management best "serves" violent backlash should you happen to either criticize their service or their cold food. Studies have shown that poor restaurant management may translate into poor food quality or worse! This is particularly troublesome when competition is so close at hand; with highly educated Manhasset clientele easily discerning between good and substandard. We hope you consider our evaluation useful in your decision making and recommend reading all Yelp reviews carefully before eating at this location. MANAGEMENT This is no longer the Umberto's you were used to when it first opened - when a family member was always present and Mama cooked the sauce downstairs. Family management has since left and principally resides at its H.Q. location at Umberto's in New Hyde Park. Unfortunately, the remaining Manhasset management team now consists of two unrelated young non-family "Managers" named Sam and Nelson. Senior management located at New Hyde Park consists of family member Gaetano and another manager named Katie. The primary obstacle in continuing Umberto's prior success at this location rests with the local "Manager" Sam. He typically exhibits unprofessional behavior affecting both food quality and customer care - and violently discourages customer feedback - including violently ushering customers out of this facility who complain of food quality or service. See FOOD SECTION - below Upon our subsequent complaining to family manager Gaetano (located in flagship New Hyde Park store) - out staff was given an excuse that it was hard to find a Manhasset managerial replacement in this Covid environment. Not good enough Mr. Gaetano! Your dad would not be pleased with such an excuse! He expects more from you to protect his legacy and your brand....and so do your customers. Umberto's principal competition next door (Gino's) witnessed consistent complaints about Sam and is reaping the rewards of a defecting customer base. If you believe caring management in the food service industry is a necessary ingredient for trusting the quality of the food you ingest - then start looking elsewhere! Please review our detailed information in both the Food and Service sections below - that substantiate our overall assessment on this facility and "Manager" Food: Look at some of the other YELP reviews. The food often comes out late and cold. Prior to the management "downgrade", the tomato sauce was exquisite with tones of fresh meat ingredients included therein. Now it's just normal-grade "Ragu" quality sauce. Better off going to Gino's next store for better tasting pizza with a much wider assortment of toppings and flavors. "Management" (Sam) is hard pressed to accommodate you when you complain - and in some cases gets downright sarcastic and hostile. When one of our staff noted that the displayed pizza looked cold - the display attendant agreed - and actually recommended speaking with the store manager. That's when the "sauce really got hot". We were extremely surprised when we discussed same with "Manager" Sam. He indicated that he did not like when customers complained about his food (so much for feedback). When our staff member expressed that he was only trying to help....Sam told our representative to leave the premises if he didn't like his food. But.....It gets worse. "Manager" Sam was so delighted in show-casing his ego - he yelled at our examiner in front of his employees - telling us to go elsewhere for a pizza. What an example to his followers. Now would you want someone like this representing your establishment?!?! Service: Overall, other YELP reviews also show that food comes out late and cold. In addition, on many occasions, the front entrance food display and cash register was not manned - while "Manager" Sam gathered his troops in the back room talking sports! When we asked for service - we were greeted with a disturbing look, as a young boy came out to reluctantly take our order and fumble with payment. Who's watching the cash Gaetano! In management terms this is called "POOR TONE AT THE TOP" It's time for a management shakeup Mr. Gaetano! If you are a CUSTOMER or EMPLOYEE who has similar concerns - please do contact Gaetano or Katie at 516- 516-737-7698 at the New Hyde Park H.Q. You will certainly be met with interest - as they were already warmed up to our review - in person! read more

All good, baby baby! - biggie smalls This place has consistently proven to exceed my expectations! I came for lunch with a group of friends, we made reservations and got seated immediately. Our waitress was a bit rough but she got everything done efficiently. I had the spaghetti carbonara, which was the right amount of creamy and salty due to the pancetta. It was a hefty portion, I have enough for lunch tomorrow. From salads, soups and pastas Umbertos knows how to get the job done. Added bonus they gave us bottles of umbertos olive oil! Felt like Christmas came early. Sincerely, A fan girl Tip they have a great lunch combo for 2 items that include a soup or salad & a sandwich under $10! read more
Umberto's! A New Hyde Park staple for years and years and.....wait a minute....how'd we end up in Manhasset? Well, I guess restaurants can be multiplied (though they often say those copies are not as good as the original). In this case, I tend to see enough similarity. In need of lunch for what seems like a constant "out-to-lunch" week, I swung by this new-ish Umberto's with a couple of coworkers to grab some grub to go. Walking in you could tell the place still has a clean feel to it. Bright lights, cute seating booths, and a wall with enough pizza paddles that Kevin Bacon might not even ask for "another" (Animal House joke...just watch the movie). Anyway, the medium-sized display case held some basic pizza items, but did also have a couple of intriguing slices, one being vodka sauce with mozzarella cheese. Gotta throw a shoutout to Vincent's Pizza in Albertson for the originator (at least for me) in dining on this style, but either way (or parlor), that piece ended up in my belly. Besides that I grabbed an intriguingly tasty-looking panini (the intrigue was real). My coworkers also got the vodka mozzarella slice and added on a couple of salads. Surprisingly, those took a little longer to roll out from the kitchen than one might expect. Once all items were in hand, we zoomed back to work to chow down, and the feelings were mutual: Scrumptious! Well, I loved my slice for its creamy, cheesy complexion, but in the end, Vincent's still wins out. Now that panini on the other hand....Hello Umberto! Breaded chicken cutlet, mozzarella, broccoli rabe, and spicy cherry peppers created a delicious balance of flavors and something I might have to repeat in the not-so-distant-future. Overall, Umberto's is worth repeating when in the northern island area. The food was above average and the place looked nice (like, Italian-nice). Only negatives were the amount of time we waited and one small ingredient error in one of the salads. Beyond that, I'm glad to see a pizza place that can dole out some decent dough, especially in Manhasset. read more
Nice & simple decor. Unfortunately the service was not great. Ordered for 4 people and they forgot 1 of the orders and it took forever to come. By the time the other 3 people were done eating, my chicken parm hero finally came. The pizza was too salty for our liking. The Fettucine alfredo was good but we've had better somewhere else. Btw, we never got bread when they sat us down. What got annoying was it took a long time for us to get our bill. The waiter was not too attentive and we tried to get his attention a few times. Not sure if we'll come back again. read more

Checked out the Manhassat spot since we were in neighborhood. Not quite as good as the one in New Hyde Park. Crust was a bit thick & chewy ( not in good way) on the Neopolitan. Sauce and cheese were fine. Sausage & broccoli rabe plentiful on the grandma & super tasty, yet again, the crust was not that great, floppy. The longer it sat, the soggier it got. Service friendly & helpful. Definitely prefer new Hyde park location. read more

This place is really taking advantage of the inflation situation. 100% robbing their customers, shrinkage, poor inferior ingredients, reheated soggy food etc. etc , etc. PRICE HIKE off the charts, they happy to take your CASH now so you don't pay the 3%. Bogus BS. $43 for a plain GM pie burnt on the top, undercooked on the inside and bottom and 1 order of stringy soggy microwaveed "fried last night" calamari? Give us a freaking break guys, never again. Shameful. read more
