Good food, good service. Celebrated a birthday and received a complementary bottle of wine, a very nice touch.
A group of us always celebrate our birthdays at King Umberto's.

I’m sorry I know it was a busy night but the wait for food was one hour. That can’t happen with all of the staff they have on hand. And no updates. Plan better
