   We had a reservation at 9 PM. The food was excellent, but the service was very bad. The waitress who served us tried to bring us the check as soon as we finished the main course, didn’t offer dessert, and when we asked about desserts, she literally said, ‘Go to the corner to Dolce.’ They just wanted us to leave as soon as possible.

   Food was just mid and not nearly on par with the rest of North End. It was overpriced! $350 for two people. A meal I wouldn’t have paid $100 for. Very disappointing. Drinks were very good. Glass stems were sticky though. Service staff was very nice. Meatball appetizer was odd, had a coating on it. Lobster cocktail was not chunks of claw and tail, rather little strings and pieces. Lobster dumplings were tasty but they were cold and sauce was flavorless and runny. Sorry, just not a good food experience. Walked across the street for dessert and Modern saved the night. Ambiance at Umbria was very nice but I wouldn’t go back.

   Food & service was excellent! Seats were crowded on the closed in outdoor seating area. The enclosure was not fully zipped, cold wind was blowing in from the storm outside. Made for a chilly date night. The restaurant kept my purse safe when it had been left at my seat. Excellent service all around

   Had a good time but the service was fairly slow all though it was a busy night it took 25 minutes for a glass of wine to be brought to our table after ordering it. Food was still pretty good despite the amount of time it took and the portions I thought were good.

   Went to Umbria on Saturday night for Valentine’s Day. We were wrapping up dinner and asked for two espresso martinis. Our server proceeded to leave and then come back to the table to ask us to go get our drinks at the bar. We could not believe it. They rushed us out of our table to give it to someone else. Horrible experience.

   Worst steak I’ve ever had. Food was just not good and too expensive. Drinks were good and service good.

   Went on Valentine’s Day, so it was pretty busy, but as a result small tables were jammed together making it a little uncomfortable to sit and eat. Other than that the food was amazing, and Ken our waiter was absolutely fantastic!

   Food was fine but nothing special in the grand scheme of the north end. Wait staff was kind but rushed us in and out of dinner, even wiping the table down before we paid the check. Music was more like upbeat club music than you’d want at an Italian spot.

    By far one of the best places I have been to eat. The patience when we arrived late for our reservation was mind blowing. The staff was friendly and courteous to our group. 5 stars well earned
