Review: I visit the Myrtle Beach area twice a year (once with the guys golfing the other with family). One of the guys suggested Umberto's during a golf trip. This is now a regular stop for me. The last visit was in December and we stopped around 3 o'clock before the restaurant was open. They let us in and the cook waited on us....the waitress came in and started early and the owner came in and was very nice. The service is always great. As usual the food was fantastic. Love the bean soup appetizer....large portions....not inexpensive.

Review: I am a local and live on the marina. Having a place like Umberto's just a walk down the dock is a real benefit. Tom, the best bartender at the beach is there most nights save Tue and Thur and always treats customers like they have been locals forever. Jaquie, Jake and Lee, the owners, normally welcome you. The special pork chop dinner is not for the faint of heart. They are cut at the restaurant and are huge. The Osso Bucco is absolutely to die for. Crab Cakes are homeade and the soup is awesome. Highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Review: This was a wonderful dining experience. Went there with a friend in October and the atmosphere had a great southern charm to it. Food was great and the lady on the piano had a wonderful voice. Very romantic setting and one I will never forget. My friend made a very nice choice for our dining pleasure. Pookie--Rocky Mount, NC

Review: If you like Italian food this place should be on the top of your list. Everything is wonderful and I think we have tried it all. Service is just fine and the view of the marina is a plus. We always enjoy the piano player. Sometimes it can be noisy, but that is to be expected in a resort area and does not take away from the experience.

Review: We were here in Feb. '07. (the off season). Our meals at best were average to below average. (I'd hate to try this food when the place is packed!!). We had several chicken parmesan's, a steak, and a house specialty (an Umberto's platter, or something like that), pasta with vodka sauce and a shrimp parmesan. Only the vodka sauce was served hot. Every other dish was warm to luke warm. The salad was LOADED with garlic, so much so that even the waiter warned us that it had too much garlic!! The bean soup and bread & olive oil were the best part of the meal. On a positive note, the server was prompt, and tried his best to make our not so pleasant experience better. I would not recommend this place. 2 out of 6 meals were good, the rest were not.

Review: We (group of 10-16 ages 1-61 three different families) have been dining at Umberto's while vacationing at Sunset Beach, NC for over 10 years.

Not only does our large diverse group feel they are worth the drive, but some have planned their length of stay according to which night we are going. We have always had great service, and the two times in over 10 years (that is well over 100 entree's) that an entree wasn't as expected it was taken care of right away. There is something for everyone to enjoy. I'm sure we have tried it all. We usually create a "sharing" plate where each person can taste what they might order next time.

My children who have for years refused to try the soup now love it as much as the rest of us. Someone always orders the Crab cakes and there is plenty of food so you can share or have some to take home to enjoy later. The wine list offers many wonderful choices also. We haven't had to wait with reservations. So visiting the water and boats come after our meal. The piano player helps to compensate/cover the sounds of other diners. She even played some Disney tunes for our smaller friends. We enjoy our dining experience and come back each year.

Review: Heard alot about the food and atmosphere. Sorry it took us so long to experience what was being said. Was not disappointed at all !!!! Excellent food and great portions. The atmosphere was elegent yet relaxed. The view of the marina is beautiful and the service we received by our waiter, Chris, was wonderful! We go to Ocean Isle NC every year and this is our favorite place. We will definitely return year after year. There were 3 in our party and we all were very satisfied. A place worth checking out.

Review: Outstanding food and service. The family style serving of the bread, salad, pasta, was great. Individual entrees were more than ample, especially after we had consumed the first portions. Were it not for the above average noise (conversation of patrons), five star quality. Good family restaurant, or for groups.

Review: Good food with a nice view of the harbor. All but one of our group of four liked their entree, she felt there was not enough flavor in the butter garlic based sauce of the seafood pasta dish she had. The chicken parmesan and blackened chicken pasta were very good. All the meals we had came in very large portions.

Review: Local here!!! Ever been to Italy. So many dishes here are American Italian.

Cuts of meat are great , but the regional food is not there.

Service is great, view is awesome, and dining experience is good.

True food is not there.

Review: Certainly my favorite restaurant in the Carolina's. Our annual large golf group has a least one dinner outing planned for this fine italian restaurant , during our week . Lee and Jacquie and their staff are terrific hosts . Food, service and ambiance could not be better. The veal and pork chop platter is the best anywhere !! Oso Buco to die for for !! Bella !!
