Stepping into this small restaurant is like stepping into another country. It feels and looks authentic, and the food is just delicious. The meal starts with a basket of warm foccacia bread accompanied by olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The three of us ordered three different dishes, and each one was prepared perfectly and full of flavor. The service was... More

This is an absolutely wonderful restaurant with a decent menu with authentic Italian food and great Italian servers. I wanted steamed clams but they were not on the menu. This was no problem! The waiter asked the chef who quoted a price and made me a fresh bowl of clams in a great broth. I highly recommend the carpaccio, bruschetta,... More

Chose this restaurant as it was close to the Marriott we were at. Small and cozy inside with many Giant's fans after an exciting win. I would think the staff would be used to this, but it appeared to fluster them. We received the complimentary bread before the meal, but then they cleared the table as if we were leaving.... More

After hiking around San Francisco we were hungry. We came upon Umbria Restaurante, about 2 blocks from our hotel and after looking at the menu decided to dine there. A great decision by us! We started off with a Margherita pizza. Great tasting dough and the flavors of the sauce, fresh mozzarella and basil blended perfectly. Because we split the... More

Good service with some Italian waiters. Nice food selection with consistent quality. Excellent spaghetti, gnocci was good but not great(I'm very picky with gnocci). Other dishes seemed well prepared and tasty. Limone dessert sorbet was tasty. Definitely worth trying and worth a repeat visit.

Spur of the moment date night with my wife. While later than usual for dinner, we had a nice meal split between the two of us -- and was still filling.

Some of the worse food I've had in a while. The calamari was rubbery and the tartar sauce was thicker than mayonnaise. I returned the so called Salmon Carpaccio - nothing carpaccio about it; it is basically thickly cut smoked salmon. The spinach salad was drenched in salad dressing. The service was adequate. I think the waiter fakes an Italian... More

We stumbled upon this place after spending the day at the museums. It is a quaint little place, perfect for a late lunch. We split a thin crust pizza with peperoni and jalapeno peppers. It was wonderful. The staff was very attentive and personable.

We sat outside, which was just fine, but the inside was so lovely--cozy and inviting! We had the gnocchi and buccatini, which we loved. Also had a cup of minestrone soup. It was excellent, but I haven't seem minestrone like that. The service was also friendly and competent. Two relative minor things to mention--the bread is good but I prefer... More
