Umberto

Umberto Review

Run by the Di Porzio family since 1916, Umberto is one of the city's classic restaurants. It combines the classiness of the Chiaia neighborhood and the friendliness of other parts of Naples. Try the tubettoni 'do tre dita ("three-finger" pasta with octopus, tomato, olives and capers); it bears the nickname of the original Umberto, who happened to be short a few digits. Owner Massimo and sisters Lorella and Roberta (Umberto's grandchildren) are all wine experts and oversee a fantastic cellar. Note that Umberto is also one of the few restaurants in the city catering to those who have a gluten allergy.
