Umberto's Pizza & Pasta — Restaurant in Virginia

Here's the Important stuff if dining in. 1.) Nice enough decor...comfortable feel 2.) Prices seem fair for the amount of food you get 3.) It's located at Delco Plaza so plenty of parking 4.) Staff is nice enough *THIS IS CONCERNING DINE-IN ONLY. TAKE-OUT IS SOMETHING ELSE ALL TOGETHER.

Here's the important stuff if ordering out: 1.) Lots of food comes stuffed into an aluminum container with a flimsy, plastic top...one that's not sealed correctly. 2.) The bread sent with the meals are actually quite large bread sticks...look yummy but are tough to chew and are lacking flavor. 3.) Sometimes things you order do not arrive the specific way you order them...sometimes, things you order do not arrive at all. 4.) If you order anything runnier than red sauce for your pasta (their olive oil & garlic, lemon sauce & capers), be VERY aware that your containers and bag will be FULL of that sauce. You get home & reach I'm to grab your food and your hand is covered in all the sauce that spilled out of their poorly sealed take-out containers...it's ALL over the place: pooled in the bag, all over the food containers, all over your counters...it's a hot mess.The only thing that's not covered in sauce is your pasta...because it all leaked out. 5.) While some of their dishes are very yummy, there are quite a few that are kinda gross. Their version of Caprese is without thought, the worst, most tasteless Caprese I have ever tasted...ever! Bland, squishy, floating in oil, no balsamic...yuck. All food, take-out wise, is kinda hit and miss I'd say.

Overall, while many seem to like this restaurant, all I can give you is my honest opinion based on 1 time eating-in and several times ordering take-out. After the last time, we agreed to never EVER waste any more money on this place. The entire experience lacks MUCH on many...

I can't recall ever reviewing a restaurant in some 45 years of eating out, but felt obliged for this one. Had the displeasure of ordering the lasagna and Pasta Fagioli as a takeout. Probably better I got takeout as if I had tasted this abomination in the restaurant, I would had sent it all back and refused to pay. The lasagna noodles were undercooked, the meat had a bizarre taste to it and the sauce was extremely plain and tasted like a jar sauce. The cheese tasted horrible and it almost appeared that it was sliced cheese over the top. No ricotta, no mozzarella that I could distinguish and I couldn't even tell what kind of cheese was in it. The Pasta Fagioli tasted like none I have ever had before. Nothing close to the actual soup and had spaghetti noodles in it. Tasted more like chicken noodle soup with some beans tossed in and was more broth than anything. I would highly recommend they go online and look up some actual recipes for both dishes and start over with actual ingredients. I will say the one thing that was good was the bread they served with it. Glad I got 2 pieces as that ended up being a majority of my dinner. Very dissatisfied and will pass on this place again. Hate to even give this...

Where do I start. My husband was told how good this place is. Well is not! We walked out with a $63.88 for 3 drink, 1 glass of Chianti, 1 order of fries, 1 order of mozzarella sticks, 1 child spaghetti with meatballs (as described in the menu but it was just one lonely meatball), and 1 dinner entree of veal Parmesan. So the fries and mozzarella stick good for frozen, but the dinners YUCK🤢. The spaghetti sauce was heavy on the garlic and it was canned sauce, the spaghetti was over cooked mushy, and the veal was two frozen pieces of veal. $18.99 for veal I was expecting fresh veal. The service was not good either, she took for ever to come take our order then she literally took 5 minutes to get our check after she brought a box for our dinner. Not very attentive during our dinner. Then my drink which was supposed to be 1/2 lemonade 1/2 unsweetened tea tasted like either the tea or the lemonade had been sitting to long. It had a horrible aftertaste. I ended up asking for coke instead and I did that to another waiter as our waitress kept disappearing and they only had like 4 takes between the two of them. All in all horrible experience and food. Don’t...
