The lines are worth the wait once you sit down with an ooey-gooey slice of Sicilian-style pizza , giant arancini and brimming-over calzones .

Divya Mulanjur

Oh was I glad I stood in line for half an hour! The pizza is the best I've had.. very greasy and cheesy though.. but the best. Try the arancini too.

Fluying ✅

Lost in the time, the place is very authentic and cheap . Come early as when they are out of pizza , they close.

The best. Panini , Arancini , Panzarotti, Calzones , Pizettes, and the best Sicilian Pizza in Boston. Prices are a throwback... Well worth the wait in the astronomically long lines .

My favorite eaterie in Boston. I have been to Sicily and tried various arancini and I still think Umberto's arancini are better than any other I've tried!

Get to this busy neighborhood gem early for a lunch of affordable Sicilian-style fast food like arancini , calzones , and, of course, square slices of pizza (one costs less than $2). Read more

Best arancini in town . Also try the pizzette which has the same tomato meat filling as the arancini but is instead encased in cheese covered bread

Cheapism

Do you like big thick slices of Sicilian pizza ? The food here is cheap and popular, so make sure you leave early, lines often go out the door. They also have calzones and other Italian fare . Read more

Daniel Tewfik

Sicilian slices that just ooze with cheese , sauce, and grease (that's a good thing). Try a panzerotti for something new.

Peter Salem

Cheese potato croquettes , and a slice. Classic, simple, delicious.

Sonny Byrd

Do whatever you have to do to get a rice ball . Amazing. Worth the wait. Etc.

Richard Crifasi

Amazing pizza that won't hurt your wallet, just might add a notch to your belt. Plus you feel like your eating in Nonna's kitchen more than some restaurant .

scott l.

I always order too much because it's so cheap . One fantastic $3 arancini is a lunch .

Matt

Amazing pizza . Closed the entire month of July . Get there before 1:00 to make sure you get a slice. And head to Polcari's on Salem after for the lemon slush ...

Jeremy Krantz

You can get certifiably awesome, authentic , less an a dollar Sicilian pizza and calzones for not much more at Galleria Umberto in North End.

If you do not need to eat here calling in your order is the way to go to significantly cut your wait time down.

Alice Campbell

Call in and pick up your order - line is shorter and you can eat by the water.

Brad Hines

The line goes out the door. Call ahead and pre-order your food for quicker eats.

Gina Luciano

Absolute best lunch in town (possibly The States ) if you like Italian! My favs include the ricotta , pancetta & ham calzone , spinach calzone , arancini & pizza
