    Umbria was recommended to us by a work colleague when we were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary this past summer. Since then, (only five months later!) we have been four more times! It's excellent! Food is incredible! Everything we have eaten is delicious! Drinks are fantastic! You CANNOT beat the service! All the waitstaff we have worked with have been top notch! Big shout out to the bartender Rene, who has somehow managed to take GREAT care of us every time we have been, even when she wasn't waiting on us! She knows white gloved, customer service for sure!! Additionally, this is SUCH A HOT SPOT! Such a great vibe and what a fun scene. We highly recommended it!

    Went for lunch around 1PM on a Saturday and they gave us (a family with kids!) a nice table by the window. Had meatballs and octopus appetizers and both were good, but octopus was superlative. I had the boar/porcini tagliatelle and wife had gnocchi. Both were excellent. Kids and wife finished with bread pudding and it was delicious as well. I had an espresso martini that was fantastic for my dessert. Not a single complaint with food or atmosphere and service was on point. Only possible issue was it did seem a bit overpriced for some items, but by the time I left full and happy, I didn’t care.

    This is my 4th time to Mare and it never disappoints. I have been there for my anniversary, night out with my wife, and business and it is a perfect location for any occasion. There are so many restaurants in the NEnd and it can be hard to standout but Mare is unique from all the other N.End Italian restaurants. Seafood centric but not just, it has something for everyone. It isn't your checkered cloth, red sauce, restaurant so if that's what you want you will find a couple dozen other spots that would fit the bill down the street. But if you are looking for some of the best seafood fused with Italian cuisine, great drinks, a broad wine list across multiple price points, cool vibes, and intimate dining experience with terrific staff then this is your place. I highly recommend
