serious safety issues
My girlfriends and I were looking for a new nightclub and I read in one of ads for Umbria they were a place for "mature,sophisticated" people. We called Mr Winter who works for the club to put ourselves on the guest list and we spoke with him atleast 2x that day and asked if we are on guest list do we have a cover charge and each time he answered no no cover charge if you arrive before 11:30 pm. ...

delicious
The pasta here is delicious. I come here with friends all the time. In addition, their wine selection is grand. I always complement my meal with their wine and it is well worth it!

A HUGE let down!
My friend and I wanted to enjoy a nice dinner somewhere authentic to the Boston area. We asked our concierege to recommend a good Italian restaurant nearby. Seconds later we had reservations for 2 at Umbria. We got dressed up to the nines and headed to the restaurant excited for some great food, great atmosphere and what we had hoped to be a great experience. When we walked in the door we wer...

What a huge disappointment
It appalls me that this restaurant manages to maintain a 4.5 star rating. Several complaints: First, the food could not be more tasteless and boring, especially considering the price. It was below average-- I'd guarantee you'd be happier at Olive Garden. The "yams and Brussels sprout lasagna" that accompanied my bacon wrapped pork had a piece of something small, sharp, and clear in it. I took it ...

Rude service -- Off My List For Good
I recently made a reservation for 10 ladies two weeks in advance. The evening was a celebration of a co-worker having married. By the way, we are all 55+. We were greeted by waiter telling us we had better order quickly because they were busy. After spending over $650, and approx. 2 hours at our table, as soon as we finished our coffee and paid the check we were asked to vacate the table because ...

Overpriced, average food.
Very overpriced for average at best food. Entrees ran around $40 each. For that price I expect them to step it up on the quality of the food. Lamb was not very good and the Filet was average. Portions rather small. I left feeling like I had just gotten ripped off. Dinner for two with tip and a reasonably priced wine was pushing $200 (no dessert). Service is average and the atmosphere is n...

Good lunch in the financial district, especially if someone else is paying
I go to Umbria fairly regularly for lunch (I have never had dinner here), generally on an expense account. The service is a bit inconsistent -- sometimes it is great, sometimes very slow. Usually when it is slow, the dessert is free. The restaurant can get very crowded at lunch, and the tables are close together. I have enjoyed most of the meals I have had. I typically have either the eggpla...

Health Advisory
Don't be fooled by the ambiance: candle-lit tables, exposed brick. The open kitchen was nice as well, although after we recieved our food, I was convinced it is just for show. We went on a Saturday night and were seated right away (should've been our first clue). We started with the fiori de zucchini appetizer - stay away! I'd describe their taste as a mix between grass and chalk. Trying to ...

Fresh pasta, upscale menu and atmosphere
Pretty good food, and eager, but erratic, service. Warm atmosphere; brick walls, open kitchen, cozy and modern. Poor wine selection for less than $50/bottle; lots of interesting stuff over $50. Call me cheap, I guess. However, we got tasty wines by-the-glass. Appetizer of Bufalo Mozzarella lacked any basil, and "summer tomatos" were gassed. "House-cured" proscuitto was good, but also lacked...

Fantastic dinner in the financial district
My boyfriend and I recently went to Umbria and had a fabulous time. The food was really amazing. I started with the seafood trio and was impressed that the squid was cooked perfectly - very tender. A lot of chefs tend to overcook it so it gets tough. My boyfriend had the spinach soup which was nice and creamy with a really nice olive oil drizzled on top. For the main course I had the osso bu...

unadulterated rudeness from hostess and waiter -- poor service all around
A girl friend and I went to this place after work last night for a couple of drinks and some appetizers. From the moment we walked in we received nothing but rudeness. The hostess was snotty and after we asked her if we could sit out by the bar, she immediately asked if we had a reservation. When we said we didn't (and also noticed that no one else was in the place, aside from the five people ...

Don't waste your time or money
I can't agree more with the other reviews posted here. The service was very unprofessional for the price point of the restaurant. We had a large group with a price fixed menu. The waitress couldn't even tell us what was included or what the price was - she had to keep running to her manager for every question. The fixed menu gave us no choice for appetizer - everyone was forced to get the exact...

Boston's Authentic Italian Dining Experience
With all the gossip surrounding the departure of Marisa Iocco's guiding hand at Frank De Pasquale's finest restaurant, one might be a little concerned about the quality of the food. Put all doubts aside. New Executive Chef Gianni Caruso is ready for the big time. The food is phenomenal; from the hand-made pasta to the fat, juicy steaks and the only poached salmon I would ever consider eating, the...

Definitely wont be recommending this restaurant
The menu was to fussy for me. The bread on the table was stale and the tables are too close together. You dont get a whole lot on your plate for the huge price. My husband had a seafood pasta dish that tasted too "fishy" which made us suspect it was not fresh seafood but it was one of the "so-called" specials for the evening. We also had an expensive appetizer that consisted of barely one ser...

RUDE Staff, Terrible Service.. DON'T GO HERE!!
I booked a table in advance for 15 on Saturday. I called multiple times to ensure everything would be ready. Upon arrival, the door men were very rude. These Chums have Napolean sydrome working the door in Boston. We came there to spend money and have a good time but these boys gave us a first and lasting impression of what a bad place Umbria is. The rudeness continued with that woman taking tic...

Rude Staff
I have been to Unbria twice - once for my company's holiday party and once for a friend's birthday party. While I found the food to be very bland, the worst part of my experience was in dealing with the staff. I was yelled at by one of the security guards and then - after I asked to speak with a manager - the manager was also very rude. If service or food are important to you - I would not reco...

The Nightclub is a Smokin' HOT Joint!!
My girlfriends & I had a scandalously good time at Umbria's nightclub! Stimulate on Friday night is the place to get your groove on. We started out on the 4th floor dancing to techno, but it was the irresistible hip-hop & reggaeton beats on the 3rd floor that had us shakin' it down. We rocked the dance floor with cute guys until closing time! Abundant banquets & sofas were available for loung...

Dissapointing
My colleague and I ate here for lunch. We ordered the margherita pizza, and I ordered the gorgonzola/pear salad. The pizza was tasty, yet much too greasy. The salad was bland. The biggest dissapointment were the prices. They charge $3 for one small soft drink, and then although they take it away automatically to re-fill, they charged us for the re-fill. What a poor policy! We will not be going ba...

Not a winner
Two weeks ago my boyfriend and I decided to have dinner with another couple. After reviewing the menu we agreed there was not a good selection. Due to the pricey entrees we passed on appetizers and chose a bottle of wine instead. After we ordered the waiter told us he would bring us bread. It took at least 25-30 minutes for us to receive the promised bread and trust me it was not fresh from the ...

Ugh!
I came here for a friend's 30th birthday party and was very disappointed - because of both of the food and the service. The food was average - not worth Umbria's prices. The main problem, though, was that our waiter was really strange - he basically kept yelling at us, or clarifying things in a really aggressive tone. And we were definitely not being difficult or demanding at all - he was just...

more than a restaurant
Good collection of Italian dishes from Umbrian region of Italy. Artfully presented, flavorful. Seemed a bit pricey but rich decor warns you to expect as much. Small dining area puts you close to frequent interruption by entry of twenty somethings dressed to impress in upstairs dance clubs. Upstairs is one of Boston's better dancing scenes (fourth floor, techno bass; fifth floor, hip hop rhythm). ...

Il Panino it ain't....
We really use to enjoy Il Panino, so we decided to visit its replacement for lunch yesterday. Everyone at the table had a pretty bad experience. Service was extremely slow. Our food was nearly tasteless (or just bad flavor, take your pick). The bean dip served with bread was begging for garlic. My appetizer of grilled veggies was OK, but really only saved by the shaved cheese on top of it. ...
