"'FRESHER IS ALWAYS BETTER! Prince Umberto Pizzeria Restaurant 721 Franklin Ave, Franklin Square, NY 11010 Today 10/26/2023, I took my Honey for lunch for the first time to Prince Umberto 's in Franklin Square, NY. We both love good home made Italian food. I read some nice reviews, checked out their menu online and saw items we both like to eat, so to not far away Franklin Square we went! It was about 2;30 pm when we got there, the pizzeria side was busy but the dinning area side was wasn 't busy at all, and that 's exactly where we wanted to go. Our waiter and server Johnathan greeted us and sat us at a nice comfortable table. I ordered something for my Honey and I to drink, nothing with alcohol, while we looked over the menu. I told Johnathan we were going to first try a few appetizers, and after that, if we were still hungry we would order something else. I asked Johnathan, please, DO NOT bring us all the food at once, as so many other restaurants seem to want to do! All that food at once just overwhelms you, plus sitting there, the food just gets cold before you get to eat it. Johnathan said, not a problem, tell me what to bring you, and I will bring it when you tell me, YES! We started off first with Littleneck Clams on the half shell, then we had whole backed clams that were just made, nice and piping hot, and so, so, delicious. Next we enjoyed a nice size pot of mussels cooked with white wine and garlic, Johnathan brought us their just baked HOT pizza dough bread with butter on the side, it was excellent especially when we were dunking the bread into the mussel juice! After that my Honey and I had to try their Trippa Napoletana, we both love tripe! This tripe with the sauce made at Prince Umbertos was so good, my Honey had to take some home! It had no potatoes, no peas, just tender cooked tripe in a delicious mild sauce, which I was also enjoying on the hot pizza dough bread too. Just delicious. Wow! While were eating, the owner, and the chef came over to us a couple of times to ask if everything was okay and to our liking, and if we needed anything else, which was very nice of them to do. We now were both pretty full, but I had to check out their dessert menu first, before we left. I spotted their Italian ice cream Tartufo, and my Honey spotted the Tiramisu. We suddenly found a little space to tackle dessert, OMG! They both were so yummy! Now as far as prices go in this day and age of high prices, this restaurant has very, very, fair prices for quality fresh food! And I might add, this is one of the very few restaurants that is not charging any extra fee for using your credit card, I hope they can continue doing that, we shall see? We shall return for sure. Their food was so good, and freshly cooked to order, just as if we were home, it was a delight to go to Prince Umberto 's in Franklin Square today! Johnathan did an excellent job taking good care of us. And if I am going write an honest review, which I am, I have one wish, we both love clams on the half shell, ice cold. The clams on the half shell we had today were really fresh, but they were room temperature and not cold at all? I wish they can serve them ice cold, the next time we come. All in all, Prince Umberto 's still gets 5 stars! One tip for all, go for lunch or early dinner, You will have plenty of space in their dining room!"

"Fresh, tasteful and fantastic sushi rolls. The first time here and I pampered in their signature Mikado Roll, Naruto the black dragon. Had some ikura on the side to add a bit of saltiness to the sweet mango sauce. Love sits at the sushi bar to see the knife work and presentation before me. The chefs were very congenial, offered a beautiful starter of tuna on the house, and basically the whole experience made it worth it. Will be back next to my new favorite movie theatre. #LocalGem #GoodEats #SushiHeaven #thersthatFoodie Updated 5/18/2021: 1. Once I was here a lil over a year, Covid hadn't met us... ever since waited to come back. I just ordered what I had last time minus the naruto roll. The aroma is now amazing. Not sure what another table has ordered, but I think I have next time. Less tables since last time and no sitting in Sushi Bar. #SafeEats "

"Hadn?t eaten there in a few years, honestly I couldn?t remember if they were good, or not. I wasn?t in the mood for Domino?s or Papa John?s, so I ordered Genoese, and I WILL remember from now on! SO GOOOOOOD! Ordered a Grandma?s Pie, and it was so muchbetter than I expected! It wasn?t ?too anything? the perfect balance of saucy and cheesy!! Everyone who ate agreed, the lie wasgone in 10minutes. Wish I had ordered two!"

"This is my go to spot!! I do t think I've ever been disappointed. I haven't been back in a while, and I'm so glad I wasn't disappointed. The entrance is in the parking lot next to a laundry mat. So great parking. I also liked that after not being there so long, the staff actually remembered me and made my experience even more memorable. We ordered the steamed shumai, the sushi sampler, the dancing classic roll, the sabagari classic roll, the samurai steak and the tempura green tea ice cream. Everything was delicious. Washed it down with a zombie and a Mai tai. Their drinks are always on point. I've stayed away to long."

"Food is known to be one of the most enjoyable aspects of a humans life. While many restaurants deliver this message through delicious foods at great prices, others tend to tarnish the name of food. After all, restaurants are supposed to be the epitome of scrumptious and affordable food items. Graze Smokehouse, expected to be on the same level as the restaurants that create the culinary world, greatly disappointed my friend and I. Walking in, we were introduced with a somewhat of a presenting entrance. They pushed us to reserve a table when we were simply there to read the menu. We ordered The Trio and The Pitboss, expecting it to be a treat but ended up traumatizing us for the rest of our lives. We were saving up for years to afford a restaurant and we finally went expecting an amazing experience but came out with PTSD. Very much not recommend. If I could, I’d give a 0 star rating. Lastly, for all my vegan friends, there is NO vegan food!!!"
