Umbertos - (Near , london)

5 /5 Hammertime054: Took me a while to visit this lovely restaurant and wow it was well worth the wait, our friends are regulars here and asked us to join them, this family run restaurant serves probably some of the best, fresh, tastiest food ive ever eaten. Absolute quality first class dining. Everyone that works here are super friendly and attentive, nothing is a problem to them. If you really are looking for that perfect meal, then look no further because this is the place to dine. Thanks everyone here, we’ll be back for sure.

5 /5 Darrell Pope: All the good reviews about this restaurant are true, the food is good, well prepared and presented. And the service is very friendly and welcoming.

5 /5 Rebecca D: Astounding! I have not been to a restaurant like this in years. We felt the love and warmth from all the staff the minute we walked through the door. They knew the menu inside out, full description of how they cooked it, and very obliging. The food was spectacular, and what was a casual lunch turned into a feast. We didnt want to leave! Highly recommend this beautiful family restaurant in Hornchurch where they dont hassle you out the door. We will definitely be back. Thank you!!

5 /5 Jonathan: A really quality Italian restaurant that I would thoroughly recommend. I thought that the food was really good, well cooked and with great portion sizes. There was a good selection of specials as well as the normal menu and the pricing was also decent. The staff were very attentive and welcoming, and the atmosphere was great- clearly lots of regulars and the staff chatting to several of them. We will definitely return and hopefully be regulars here too!

5 /5 Sarah Ibrahim: Absolutely faultless!!! Managed to grab a last minute booking earlier today (Mothers Day) and what a result. From the moment we entered the place it was obvious that this was not your run-of-the-mill restaurant. The owner recognised my mum right away for a start, remembered her name and her order - considering she had only ever been there once before and that was a good month ago, this is nothing short of remarkable! The menu was good at first glance but lacked pizzazz...Well that was soon remedied by the specials board. The owner went through each item with us explaining the different flavours and techniques being used for each dish. I heard him repeat this process for every set of guests that arrived and each time he read it with the passion and patience as it was the first! Again, remarkable. Now, on to the food...OK so I dont say this lightly, I believe this is the best food Ive ever eaten. The quality of the ingredients is obvious and the skill and love that the chef puts in is highly evident in every meal. There is no kids menu per se so this was a potential problem for me with a 4 year old. However, I was assured that whatever he wanted, they could do for him. They were happy to make any variation on any of the meals on the menu, or one of his choice. He ended up choosing macaroni cheese (which is not on the menu!) and it was lovely. They supplied him with a kids portion of garlic bread and cheese too. I could not decide between the garlic mushrooms or the sticky ribs for starters so I requested half-half which the restaurant were more than happy to accommodate. The mushrooms!!! Oh the mushrooms. Sooooooo good. I want more. And more! The ribs were divine too. I followed this with a parmigiana which was so tasty too. Finished it off with panettone (bread and butter pudding style) and that was me done. I left there absolutely stuffed but so so SO happy. The staff make it a pleasure to be in the restaurant. The place is clean and quaint. Service awesome and the food is absolutely impeccable. Outstanding. I will DEFINITELY be back! Thank you to the Umbertos team. The difference between a family-run restaurant and a chain has never been so obvious to me. No request was too much trouble. So grateful!
