The food is good. Portions are large. I had the fried pounded pork chop parmigiana and calamari. Both were very good .

Deeply Disappointing Experience at Umberto’s in Wantagh
I rarely leave reviews, but our visit to Umberto’s in Wantagh was so disappointing that it deserves to be shared.
To drink, we only ordered water, and it genuinely felt like we were judged for that from the start based on the service and attention we received.
We started with the fried calamari, which came out really quickly but was cool, rubbery, and tasted like it had been microwaved, not freshly fried. Definitely not fresh, and not what you expect from a place with their reputation.
From there, things only got worse. Our main meals took over 30 minutes to come out on a Monday — and this was for a chicken Caesar salad and a sausage hero. When they finally arrived, the quality was subpar. The grilled chicken on the salad was cold, clearly not freshly cooked. The sausage hero was honestly a disgrace: maybe two sausages total, sliced up, tossed on bread, covered with sauce and cheese, and toasted. For something that took that long, it felt careless and thrown together, for the price that it was.
We had an appointment to keep, so when the food came out I asked for a To-go container right away and I took the hero to go. We ended up eating it the next day for lunch — and both of us got sick a few hours later. It’s now been three days, and our stomachs still aren’t right. That’s unacceptable and honestly concerning.
Between the poor food quality, the long wait times, and the aftermath, this was one of the worst dining experiences we’ve had. We won’t be returning.

Pizza was okay but not worth 32$ for a pie.

Great Pizza!!
I love in Suffolk County and for years a coworker would always bring food from here. The chicken marsala was always my favorite. Took a ride to visit for the 1st time. Its was pretty packed, during the day (to me, that means they are doing something right). Service was great. The chicken marsala was just as good as I remembered. We also had the baked clams, those were bland. Also tried the chicken francese. The texture was good, however, there was way too much lemon happening. Enough to make you pucker lol. Im not sure if it was just an off day. The place is definitely popular, and I still stand by their marsala. Wouldn't reorder the others.

Ordered a lasagna and a gluten free pizza the gluten free pizza was great but when they put half in a box for me a slice went missing! No one told me they dropped it or anything just wasn’t there when I went to have the rest later. Very sad about that since it’s so expensive. The lasagna was more of a meat sauce pie just one circle of pasta surrounding a meat puddle. And unfortunately we were seated right next to the door which I can take but I was really looking forward to that slice of pizza that was taken from me :( .

I have been a frequent Umbertos customer for years. My family orders delivery on Fridays about twice a month. The food is always delicious. However, we wait over 2 hours for delivery each time - and we are only located 4 blocks away from the restaurant. Yesterday, my company I had over left before they were able to eat due to the food taking so long. I was told by the employee when placing my order that it would be 60-90 minutes at 5:11pm. The food didn't arrive until 7:20pm. When it finally did arrive, it was delicious but freezing cold and needed to be reheated. You would think over the years they would have resolved this issue by hiring more delivery drivers on Friday nights and weekends. This has been ongoing for YEARS now.
