It was super busy being it was New Years Eve and Billy Joel was playing down the road, yet we were seated timely in accordance with our reservations. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The taste of the food was excellent while the temperatures of the entrees could have been hotter. I will go back.

We had a wonderful New Years Eve dinner at this restaurant. Our servers name was Erick and there were sooooo many employees working and every single one of them were hustling. Food and dessert were top notch and we sat in the “patio” section which was decorated so beautifully for the holidays. Highly recommend

King Umberto's: A Long Island Institution "For over 30 years, King Umberto's has been my go-to for both birthday celebrations and holiday feasts. It truly is an institution! The food and service consistently deliver an exceptional dining experience. I'm always impressed by the waiters' remarkable ability to remember orders without writing them down – a testament to true old-school service. The patio is a lovely and spacious addition, perfect for enjoying the warmer months. And let's not forget the holiday specials – they're always a delicious treat. Highly recommend!" Fried capellini is a must ! Chicken Marsala , and the seafood pasta dishes are all excellent

I really wanted to love this place. Servers are nice, the space is gorgeous, especially for Christmas but the food is what drives it down. Bland or over salted, I wish they cared more about what they served because it could be so much more.
