Great spot for lunch! The bread for my sandwich was flavorful and the meatballs on it were huge and plentiful. My kid loved the pizza slice and my wife said the crab stuffed mushrooms were delicious and she wants to go back for more. The staff was fast with the food and it's just a great neighborhood joint.

Walking into Lou Umberto’s Italian Kitchen on a drizzly Saturday morning felt like being hugged by a giant red-checkered tablecloth 🇮🇹—in the best way possible. Before we could even order, Chef Roberto greeted us with a twinkle in his eye and a warm bowl of Pesto Risotto with Chicken and Red Pepper 🥣. Every Saturday from 11 to 1, he hosts a mini magic show of sorts, grabbing pantry staples off the shelves and transforming them into something that could make your Nonna weep with joy. On this particular Saturday, it wasn’t just about the food—it was about family and community. My neighbor’s son just started working there 🧑‍🍳—his first job! 👏 We popped in not just for a bite but to show some love and support ❤️. And honestly, what a deliciously wholesome excuse to carb-load. The risotto was

The workers there just don’t want to work, or just want to do things right. They really need to redo the whole staff they always have 1 person who’s a hard worker but the rest just make you not want to go back between orders being wrong, not heated, not being helped, the employees just kind of dragging there feet to walk to you to ask if you need help. It’s just like cmon the foods already been made they just microwave it or scoop it lol it’s laughable. I’m hoping they turn it around

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Victor C · Jan 2026

Usually it is a 5 star but today was an off day for them. My pizza (to go) was aweful. Cold although I picked it up early thought it was wrong when I opened it. Saw meatballs but it was the overcooked bubbles. Ordered a calzone ate a quarter of it before I got to the filling. Counter girls were not very friendly in fact seemed annoyed when the couldn’t find my order Sorry for a bad review but this visit was AWEFUL and if I was a first timer I wouldn’t come back

Thank you for making our family Thanksgiving wonderful this year
