I’m sorry I know it was a busy night but the wait for food was one hour. That can’t happen with all of the staff they have on hand. And no updates. Plan better

I really like Umbertos but the main dining room is closed at the moment so they only have the big hall in the back. The food is still great but the back room is very loud, crowded and doesn’t have the same ambience as the main restaurant.
