Reviews for Ristorante Umbria

12/11/2007 - Mr. Allison Barton Rice
My name is Mr. Allison Barton Rice, and I have been a frequent patron of Ristorante Umbria for a little more than two years. I have found the staff of this establishment to be comprised of excellent individuals that provide sublime service. Additionally, the food has always been superb. Generally, the person who gets the credit and glory for this is Giulio V. Tempesta. It is my accurate observation that Giulio is extremely prone to hyperbole (speaks a lot of B.S.) and far too many times has a proclivity to use the most vile and disgusting language imaginable toward people and about people, often directed at his staff. At around 8:00 PM on the evening of Friday December 10, 2007, as I dined at the bar, Giulio began to say extremely vile and disgusting things using extremely vile and disgusting language to his staff, including Nick the bartender. Giulio then started to tell me about his staff in the most untrue and negative way, again using extremely vile and disgusting language. When I protested by saying “No sir. If you treat people well, they behave well. If you treat people poorly, they behave poorly.” Guilio then began to use extremely vile and disgusting language about me and toward me, saying “I should stick my fingers up my ...” and continued using a lot of “s***” and “f***”, etc. Well, after about fifteen seconds of this I said to Guilio in a very loud voice “F*** you!” and I proceeded to call him a “Piece of s***.” Then, after a few more words, I left. Of course this created quite a “scene”. Should you have been there, please accept my most humble and sincerest apology for my outburst and for disturbing your dinning experience. However, please be aware that I was provoked in an extreme way and in the most uncalled for manner by Giulio V. Tempesta. If you were not there but know someone who was, please give them a copy of this open letter. Thank you for your understanding.

Probably one of the BEST Restaurants I've been to in SF.
The bruscetta was out of this world !
I then split a Quatrone Pizza- to die for.

For the main course I had the Salmon with a side of pasta(Rollatinii).
The owner was the best. His name is Guilio. Extremenely friendly , made us feel right at home.
His staff was suberb, especially Azad the host and Emilio the waiter.
The bar is very comfortable with great prices.
If you want real Italian Food- go to Umbria . You'll love it.i
