    We were seated right away on an extremely busy Easter Sunday. I had baked clams and my wife had fried zucchini for our appetizers. Both were very good. This was our second Easter having dinner at King Umberto’s and just like the first time I ordered the Stuffed Veal Chop. Hands down this is the best Veal Chop on Long Island . Loaded with cheese and prosciutto , smothered in mushrooms topped off with a delicious sherry wine sauce. My wife had the chicken rollatini which see said was excellent. We’ve never had a bad meal at King Umberto’s. The staff from the owner to the bus boys are always friendly, attentive and efficient. Make a reservation and you will not be disappointed!

    Great dinner. We ate in the patio, so it was quite loud with how busy it was. Also it took a few minutes to get our dessert. Other than that, service was great. Joseph never disappoints. Baked clams and fried capellini were delicious, as well as the lobster ravioli & crab. Bourbon smash drink was good also, not too strong. Overall great dining experience.
