Absolutely delicious and amazing customer service. Where do I start? We went for lunch and decided to pass on the lunch specials. Only because I wanted to try a specific dish. Lunch specials ranged from 14.99-18.99, and is a great price for entree (good portions), salad or soup of the day, and sweet tea or unsweetened tea! Can't beat it. We were sat pretty quickly, we ordered Chicken Piccata with a salad that I shared with a friend and still had to pack the rest up. The lunch portion was HUGE! I did not finish it all but I also couldn't stop eating it. I tried my friend's Shrimp plate and it was delicious also, and ordered a Tiramisu desert to-go. Tried it at home and yummmmm. Our server was so awesome, all our food was hot and soooo good. He brought us fresh garlic butter bread right out of the oven. I can't wait to go and try more dishes. Our server mentioned that dinner servings are even bigger than the lunch portions. Clean restaurant and really pleasant atmosphere. read more

Umberto's Italian Grill - Chicken Piccata (Lunch Portion) - Italian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Service was excellent. Food was excellent. Atmosphere is very mom and pop-ish. I had the caprese salad appetizer, the house salad with Italian dressing and farfelle creamy pasta. The also bring out bread and this loaded mini toast thing. I don't know the official name of it. The entree portions are huge so you'll get at least 2 meals out of it. Forgot to order dessert so can't review that. I only managed to snag one photo because I was too busy stuffing face. read more

My son and I had planned to eat pho today, but the restaurant of choice was closed. Instead, we drove down the street to Umberto's. I had only been once before for a retiree luncheon. I'm not sure why I did not review it at that time. I don't remember anything about that visit, but I know I liked the food. Today, they had a sign outside the entrance listing three specials. The one that caught my eye was redfish topped with shrimp in a gorgonzola sauce with asparagus and a side of spaghetti. That definitely piqued my interest. The server took our drink orders and left us to look at the menu. I decided I wanted bruschetta for an appetizer. My son preferred the mussels, but I said one appetizer was enough. When the server brought our drinks, he also brought a plate with bruschetta. We gobbled it down and, even though it was delicious, we ordered the mussels in red sauce afterall. There were a few dozen of them on the platter drenched in the most delicious red sauce. We shamelessly used our wonderful bread rolls to sop up the sauce. It was wonderful and decadent in a homey kind of way. My son ordered the veal piccata. I went ahead with the redfish special. While we waited, we were served a really delicious bowl of creamed broccoli soup, which we slurped down like hungry puppies. It was as I already said- really delicious. The server freshened up our bread basket so we would have rolls for our entree. The veal piccata looked amazing. My son said it was the best he has ever had. When my entree came out, I was blown away. The shrimp were huge! There were at least 11, but I think I missed one when I counted. They were cooked perfectly. The redfish was also cooked perfectly- lightly breaded and most likely sauteed in butter. The asparagus was hiding underneath everything, and all of it was covered in the gorgonzola sauce. The heaping serving of thin spaghetti in butter was separate in a bowl. That sauce was super delicious. We both ate as much as we comfortably could, but came away with enough for a couple more meals. Mine literally filled up a to go box. I put the spaghetti on the bottom and piled the other leftovers on top. Then I poured all of the remaining sauce over it all. I will eat well again tomorrow., I loved everything about this restaurant. It was quiet, clean, and comfortable. Our server, Julian, was everything you could possibly want in a server: polite, friendly, and knowledgeable. The only down side is that we are still craving pho. Maybe next week it will be open on my son's day off. read more

This evening I got the baked ziti and the minestrone soup. My wife got a grilled chicken breast with risotto. (I've forgotten the exact name, Greglio, or close to that). I was a bit taken back by the prices. I originally wanted veal parm but at, $36, I thought that was a bit much for a Monday afternoon meal. I ordered the ziti, I like ziti, not a problem. I thought the menu said, meat sauce, no meat. I probably misread the menu. No problem, the Ziti was a huge portion and Lava Hot. It had a bit more sauce than I'd like but the 1/2 pound of gooey mozzarella was amazing. The wife said her grilled chicken and risotto was delicious. Her before entree salad was also huge. Our Server, I think his name was Dylan, was fantastic. Knowledgeable about the menu. I would like to see some upgrades in the ambiance. I bit updating. Pro tip, Umberto's portions are huge. I ate about 1/3rd of my ziti. My wife ate maybe 1/2 her chicken meal. As we were leaving, the table beside us just got their order of chicken parm which was HUGE. If the veal parm is equal size to the chicken parm, well worth the $36. I hope this gibberish makes sense. Our bill with 20% tip was $50. We look forward to returning soon to Umberto's and order 1 plate of a huge portion of something. read more

We came here on a whim, the original place we picked out was closed. From the outside, this place isnt much to look at. Once we got inside, the place was packed on a Saturday night. We were promptly seated though and given a complimentary bruschetta. I ordered the steak special, which was a 10oz ribeye with a mushroom demi glace, some Umberto's jumbo shrimp, asparagus, and a side of pasta. The dinner also came with a salad, this wasn't Costco mixed greens either, it was a hand chopped house salad with Italian dressing. The food came out and it was great. Everything tasted really good, service was amazing, and the price was right. read more

Best luncheon plates ever... I think I've tried them all...Tge service is the very best and the ambience is great...

This was my birthday dinner and it was just delicious. Our server was extraordinary. We got welcomed with some bruschetta and freshly baked dinner rolls. We ordered the Shrimp Umberto as appetizer and it was a delight. The shrimp was lightly breaded sitting atop this delicate lemon sauce. I ordered Chicken Francesca and the portion was so big that I had enough for leftovers that felt like a whole meal in itself. We also ordered shrimp scampi and it was so good that we all just want to come back and order that. Overall, it was an exquisite experience from this very original family owned business. I will definitely be back. read more

This place was delicious. Local spot with food that tastes just as freshly made as it looked. Went here for a birthday dinner as a first time patron and it did not disappoint. Server was excellent and personable. Glad I found this spot because I will be back. They start you off with a little bruschetta with a tomato and garlic medley on top. But there's also delicious rolls and butter. I asked for a side of marinara for the rolls and it was so good. I had the ribeye with rosemary potatoes. Birthday girl had the chicken Francesca, my oldest son had the shrimp scampi and my youngest a cheese pizza. All delicious. Also tried the umberto shrimp appetizer. So good. All large servings. All worth coming back for. Drinks stayed topped up. Just all around excellent. Made a point to each other we would be back. Such a delicious experience. At 5 on a Monday wasn't crowded at all and food came out timely. You definitely have a new customer. read more

Service was fabulous, Cab wine was a nice pour for the price and delicious! Chicken Gorgonzola was rich and delicious as was the Chicken Parm. We could have split an entree especially since we had the stuffed mushrooms first! The rolls were hot and crispy on top. Nice, cozy atmosphere. Just sad we're traveling and couldn't take the leftovers! read more

Got delivery. Food was amazing! Little disappointed we didn't get any bread with our order. Family got Chicken Marsala which was Fantastic. I got the Umbertos Pasta that was delicious. Kids got plain spaghetti which had garlic and they loved it. Got the soup of the day which was Fridays Clam chowder but it tasted more like just plain potato soup with lots of garlic. read more

Took a good friend of mine here on 3/25/25 for her birthday. The food was very good, and portions were generous. They were entertaining a large party which made the small restaurant very noisy and hard to hear my friend when she spoke, but I guess that was to be expected. Would have given 5 stars if it had not been for the poor service from our waitress in which her tip reflected. I did make a point to tip two young gentleman working that were of more helping us than our actual waitress. read more

I was going to play at the poker room next door, but it smelled like a combo of s**t and carpet--the putrid scent blowing in my face by a fan facing the door as I walked in. It turns out, there was a plumbing problem. So.... I went to Umberto's next door. I was on the sniff-out for sharpet but fortunately got the all-clear. Right when I walked in, a hostess entered and sat me down. Then the waiter immediately came over and asked me if I wanted a beer. Lol. This was a first! So I said, "Sure" and had a beer in a frosty glass. Beer was the only thing I drank because the waiter never brought water. This was odd, but I figured out that maybe their water was connected to the plumbing problem next door and is why he asked me if I wanted a beer. He was indeed a good waiter despite this odd occurrence. The bread was a dime, the bread with tomato thing was solid, and the Chicken Parm was not amazing but I did finish it. I also have realized that East Coast Chicken Parm and Texas Chicken Parm are two different things. I grew up eating the other one. Then there is the salad. The salad was good. I got no cheese, even though I can eat cheese but don't love cheese. I don't get the whole cheese thing, even though Chicken Parm is my favorite meal and has cheese. Would I recommend Umberto's? Sure. read more

Chicken piccata is amazing, flavorful and fresh. It's a nice place and nice atmosphere.

Food was authentic! Service and portion size were nothing short of exceptional. This was our first visit; our plans are to return.

He was so kind and even took many group pics for us. We had an amazing time. This place is a hidden gem in SA and a must try!!! My 2nd time and all my friends it was first time and they all enjoyed their experience. Wish we would have taken more food pics... read more

Gotta say, coming from Chicago I was surprised, the food and service was amazing. Started with the calamari which was delicious, not chewy at all. Had the pizza, chicken risotto, chicken alfredo, and chicken mushroom. Amazing! read more

I tried the food via food delivery and was impressed so we went for dinner. The service was chaotic and slow. It was as if nobody knew our table was there but we were in the middle of the room watching all the staff but 1 stand around chatting by kitchen doors. We weren't offered any refills, stopped 2 servers for silverware after we received our food and finally stopped a busser that brought them. Didn't receive salt & pepper requested although other talked all had them on the table. Requested our check 3 times before crossing the room and requesting a 4th time. The bill was 150 for 2 adults & 2 children no alcohol or desserts. That's too steep for the experience we had. read more

We are traveling from out of state. This restaurant was recommended by our Hotel, Best Western by Lackland AFB. We were a group of 8 and service was excellent! We were given complimentary bruschetta which was delicious. We all shared calamari. So good! Perfectly crispy! My personal order was the Chicken Gorgonzola. I'm a huge Gorgonzola cheese fan. It absolutely did not disappoint! The sauce was rich and tasty. It came with three thinly sliced chicken breasts stacked ontop of eachother on top of asparagus. Side of spaghetti pasta which I certainly dumped into the sauce. Yum yum yum. Would eat this many times again. It's too bad we aren't local! Love this restaurant. Thinking about trying out Umbertos? Yep do it! read more

Excellent Italian dinner! We started with the mushrooms. These are not to be missed! Ground sausage and cheese covers huge mushroom caps, covered in a dark wine sauce. I've never had such tasty mushrooms! For my main course I had the beef lasagna, which came baked in an oval dish. Delicious. The kids had spaghetti w/ meatballs. Also a winner. The wife had Chicken Marsala: apparently very good, but the chicken breast was pounded almost flat. The cabarnet was good, too, but they don't name the wines or vineyards in the wine list. Overall fantastic meal and nice relaxed environment (even if it *is* in a strip mall!). Bravo! read more

We were on our way to Olive Garden and saw this on yelp and decided to try it instead. Glad we did. The food was fresher, the service was faster and we left completely satisfied. The Chicken Parmesan was delicious and the minestrone soup was the best I've ever had. 5 stars! read more

They were able to accommodate us for our large family. Ordered the fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The fettuccine was okay but the chicken on top was cold as if it was sitting out for a while. Ordered the cannoli to try a cannoli for the first time. It looked good but it was completely rock hard and not enjoyable. I had someone at the table try it and apparently it's not supposed to be like that, they think maybe they gave me and old/stale one. Had a nice time and nice cozy environment but it felt very rushed by the waiters. read more

Highly recommended! read more

Came here with some out of town guests. The menu has lots of variety and the portion sizes are great. We ordered the Farfale with Vodka Sauce to share (vegetarian style). The service was great however our entree could've been better (too many onions compared to pasta). Our friends ordered other non vegetarian dishes on the menu and really enjoyed them with plenty of leftovers. read more

Received a recommendation for this place by an acquaintance that's a serious "foodie" and decided to give it a try. Wasn't too impressed with the strip center ambiance but the place was clean with the staff courteous and attentive. I found the menu pricing a bit high considering the quality of the food. The Fettuccine while tasty arrived in a lukewarm warm lump... I didn't request a "doggy bag" though I'm sure he would have enjoyed it! Try the place for yourself. You might decide my opinion is the "lukewarm lump" read more

This is my second time being here, and I loved it this time just as before! My family loved Umberto's, and we will definitely be back.

First & foremost: the food HIT. I tasted 4 other plates & every single one had my tastebuds singing. I personally ordered the chicken gorgonzola. Blue cheese fans, get it. service was quick, easy and friendly. thank you, Leonardo! The ambiance was nice. Umberto's can comfortably host large families or date night. read more

Food and service were on point! Ambiance was nice and clean. The prices are reasonable and the food is amazing. The server was fantastic as well. It started out with some complimentary bruschetta. We then had calamari. Main courses were meatballs and spaghetti, piccata chicken and eggplant Parmesan. With all entree's comes a salad, that is quite large. It was crisp and fresh. I had the eggplant Parmesan, I've had a lot of eggplant Parmesan along the way and I have found the marinara is the deciding factor. This marianara was fantastic - not butter or sweet. Absolutely delicious. Everyone else also raves about their dishes. And to top it off, the portions are hearty. If you want Italian in San Antonio, go here without hesitation. read more

Umberto's Italian Grill - Birthday celebration - Italian Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Here I go again! The quality of food for me still has not changed. I had the beef lasagne with meat sauce, but the first order had no meat, so I had to ask for another serving with meat sauce. A second order came out with the same, glob of cheese on top. This dish is ok, but there was no Italian spices in the dish, tasted like jar sauce, terrible. Where's the Italian spices Umberto? Now, the Orzo Cream Chicken soup was excellent! I could buy a quart of that soup to take home! I still don't like this eatery therefore I have no recommendation, you are on your own. read more
