Was at King Umberto's recently in Elmont, very disappointing. Food was borderline awful, service was excellent though.
They can't possibly keep up the quality with how big they have gotten with that outside patio. Not authentic in the least, its just a name that everyone associates with being good because it USE to be good. Sal's down the road on Meacham is better. Quality always takes a hit when you expand, good Italian food on the Island is like a unicorn....just don't exist.

‘How does one define good Italian Food”?
The sauce?
Spices?
Recipes?
i am not of Italian heritage therefore did not have the pleasure of “Grandmas” recipes—
What I can say though - Traveled to Italy a while back and the food was the best I’ve ever had-( pasta’s, sauces, and steaks)
