The Umberto Restaurant Naples

The Umberto is a fine place to dine with a great history of excellence. The history of our restaurant began in 1916 when Ermelinda and Umberto di Porzio opened a little trattoria, known to most people as "Don Umberto". "Nonna (Granny)" Ermelinda took care of the kitchen, originally situated where the tables of the restaurant are now, and would prepare typical neapolitan dishes such as ragu, spaghetti and anything else their customers asked for. The restaurant established an excellent reputation because of its good food and the high-quality, fine wines that Don Umberto bought from small, local wine merchants.
