New York City restaurateurs Pietro and Kelly Molendini took over the classic St. James farmhouse turned restaurant. The former co-owners of Vite Vinosteria in Astoria, Queens, who had moved from the city to Centerport, spent the summer renovating the dining room to a modern, clean look with neutral tones and contemporary artwork from Pietro Molendini's native Rome. They also expanded the bar from about four to 11 seats.Pietro Molendini has spent 30 years in the food industry, with a decade of that at Cipriani and stints at both Bar Pitti and Da Silvano. Along the way, he met chef Fabian Garcia Manca, who eventually headed the kitchen at Vito Vinosteria and now joins the Molendini’s in St. James. Kelly Molendini said Manca and her husband scour the tristate area and beyond for ingredients. "They are never home," she joked, and said that the pair source some of their meat from the Bronx, burrata from New Jersey and dried pasta from Italy and Sicily.Closed 11/17/2022 for private party

The fried calamari with cherry peppers can also be ordered Sauti as opposed to fried, eliminating the breading. This turned out to be wonderful. The calamari was fresh from the sea, and not frozen, and the tastes were sublime.

Beautiful restaurant from the minute you open the door! We were seated immediately and the server was quickly to meet and greet us. We had the rigatoni appetizer which we split- perfect! Very filling- we both head meat choices and the steaks were to die for! Baked potatoes and vegetables were top notch. Highly recommended and will definitely be back!

I recently dined at Osteria Umbra, an Italian-inspired restaurant that promises an experience of rustic elegance combined with hearty, perfectly cooked meats. The ambiance strikes a wonderful balance between sophisticated and cozy: dim lighting, exposed brick, and antique wood paneling give the place a warm, inviting feel, while the flicker of candlelight on each table adds a romantic touch. There’s an Italian charm to the space, yet it still feels like a true Italian steakhouse in all the right ways.

While a bit of a higher priced dinning experience (expect to spend $80+ per person), never a bad experience, food is always stellar and the service is excellent. Highly recommend.
