The service, food, and ambiance were terrific. We had a fantastic time. My husband had a wonderful birthday, he still talks about the truffle pasta and smoked old fashion. We will certainly return.

Had a pretty good dining experience here the other night. We were a large party and both waitresses were attentive and knowledgeable. For starters, we had the famous cheese wheel pasta. Each spoonful served all eight of us. It was hearty and rich, so this was more than enough. My spaghetti with marinara was extremely fresh. They make everything on site and it shows. My husband ordered the pappardelle and said it was delicious. We were annoyed at the $5 cake cutting fee per person as we were told there was no fee when we originally booked. We had to sign a waiver to serve the cake as we brought an outside one. I've never seen this before.

Been back a number of times since my original review and always fabulous. Second time I tried their famed maialino (suckling pig). Amazingly good and so tender. My wife's Bolognese was killer as was my smoked negroni. Most recently, we went for my wife's birthday a few months ago (it's her fave restaurant). Appetizer of baccala and artichokes tempura with tomato, olive and caper sauce was terrific. For main I had bay leaf and juniper berry marinated racks of venison with Marsala sauce which was pretty freaking incredible. Dirty martini was exceptional.

Came for tasting menu. Food was good, the oyster course was not it. They should lose the whole smoke thing. Tasted like burnt oyster. Everything else was great. Waitress was lovely. Service all around was great. One suggestion. The lights inside the dining room to the left when you walk in almost flickers. It was beyond annoying and almost nauseating. We hated it. It didn't seem to be like that in the rest of the restaurant but for a migraine sufferer this really will keep me from coming back. My husband was annoyed by it too. Super distracting and made for an unpleasant night. Couldn't wait to get out of that room.

I came here on a weeknight with my co workers and had a fabulous meal. The restaurant is upscale and a perfect place to have a conversation as it was not loud inside. We were well taken care of by our waiter (he was excellent at upselling) and the staff and had excellent food. We started with the pasta appetizer that starts with lighting a huge Parmesan cheese wheel on fire. It is served table side so you get a show as well. While the cheese melts, the chef pours a pasta with truffle cream sauce into the cheese wheel and mixes everything together and serves it on your plate. The pasta was so creamy and cheesy and very rich. I ordered the Chilean sea bass for my main meal and it was one of the tastiest meals I've had in awhile. The fish was seared on the outside and very tender. It sat on top of a canneloni bean mixture, beet puree and broccolini. The Brussels sprouts were also very tasty. My co workers all enjoyed their meals as well (lamb chops, branzino, beef tartare, ribeye steak). The restaurant is located in a strip mall and there was plenty of parking in the lot. The restaurant is immaculate and bathrooms were very clean. I would definitely come back for the food!

I had lunch at Osteria Umbra last Friday. It's in a small shopping center and I wasn't expecting much. Surprise! The best Italian food I have had. Started with the truffle pasta that is made inside a giant cheese wheel table side. I intended it to be an appetizer and it was a very generous portion. You simply must order that. It was amazing! My group ordered paperdelle, lamb skewers and a mortadella and burrata sandwich. Everything was amazing. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The next time I am on Long Island it will be my first stop!

Upon sitting down you are greeted with large chunks of parmesan cheese freshly taken out of a large cheese wheel, first press olive oil and the most unbelievable bread basket. Which in my opinion is a great way to start a Meal. The waiters love to share the story of Osteria Umbra and I was really impressed to hear it! I love the fact that they have an in house pastry chef who makes all of the desserts. I have ordered the cacio e pepe both times I have eaten here because it is incredible. I love that they give you the option for cheese wheel pasta where they will light the wheel of cheese on fire in front of you and sautee your pasta in the melted cheese table side. It turns your meal into an experience. For dessert I highly recommend the pistachio gelato! It is beyond delicious. They also have great drinks.

What an amazing experience!!! This is a perfect place to celebrate a birthday or any kind of special event!!! we came here on a Friday night and it was very busy, the place was packed at every table, and the bar as well. It took around 10 minutes to get our table ready (we made a reservation and would recommend one) and we were on our way. For appetizers, we ordered the grilled calamari (highly recommend) the blueberry scallops, radicchio salad which was presented very nicely, and the black truffle pasta, which was SO good but it's one of those dishes that is very rich, and a little goes a long way! For entrees, we ordered the wagu ($99) and the porterhouse for 2. ($118) My husband and I shared the wagu and everything was so delicious, I unfortunately did not even take photos of the entrees because my group did not give me a chance to do so, lol. The desert, we had the blueberry cheesecake and the coffee panna cotta. Everything is made in house and you can tell it was extremely fresh. Service wise, our server was exceptional. I can't remember her name but she had brown hair and glasses! Ambiance wise, the inside and outside is so nicely decorated with flowers, and I loved the lighting fixtures on the ceiling. Overall this was a wonderful experience, my group was raving about everything and how wonderful it was even after we had all left!
