UMBERTO in Naples, Naples, Italy | Restaurant

The history of UMBERTO Restaurant began in 1916 when Ermelinda and UMBERTO di Porzio opened a little trattoria, known to most people as "Don UMBERTO". "Nonna (Granny)" Ermelinda took care of the kitchen, originally situated where the tables of the Restaurant are now, and would prepare typical neapolitan dishes such as ragu, spaghetti and anything else their customers asked for. The Restaurant established an excellent reputation because of its good food and the high-quality, fine wines that Don UMBERTO bought from small, local wine merchants.
"Small" was the key word, too small in fact. When they saw that trade was going well they decided to enlarge the Restaurant. In May 1926, regular customers were shocked to find the Restaurant had closed. Stunned silence, amazement, mystery: â??whatever could have happened?â?? they thought. Then the sound of hammering and building work. Soon modern Restaurant pizzeria emerged and everything became clear!
In the year that followed the history and philosophy of the Restaurant was born. Don UMBERTO took pride in the fact that the Restaurant offered a variety of dishes and customers enjoyed themselves. For Don UMBERTO this was not enough. Quality and authentic ingredients were what made the meal and were the reasons why the Restaurant was full until the early hours of the morning. That year "UMBERTO" pizza, deep, soft and made of genuine ingredients, became part of our tradition.
