“This place is truly authentic Italian! It’s even more enjoyable if you understand the language and what’s being said by Umberto and his wonderful family! Their purely southern Italian cuisine combined with great wines makes for an unbeatable combination!” – Alfonso F.

Not Your Average Restaurant

Umberto, the owner of Enoteca Umberto, generously gave us a few minutes of his time to tell us about this one-of-a-kind business and its award-winning online reputation.

The first thing we wanted to know was what it is that sets Enoteca Umberto apart from the many other restaurants in Rhode Island. Umberto told us that they showcase recipes from traditional Italian dining along with the old world of the Italians. His wife comes from an immigrant household, and she is a culinary wizard because of her skills in the kitchen and her culture. They import small batches of wine straight from Italy, and they go to Italy twice a year.

Umberto went on to tell us that his wife changes the menu every day and that everything is cooked fresh. They book couples months in advance, but they always recommend coming by, as they sometimes have cancelations.

We also wanted to know why they do what they do at Enoteca Umberto and how they work to make the world a better place. Umberto shared with us that their basic mission is simply to continuously grow and to show young people the importance of working.

Building Success Through Passion

When we asked Umberto about Enoteca Umberto’s secret to such a strong online reputation, he pointed to the fact that the restaurant started as a passion project.

Outside of building the kind of online reputation any business owner would envy, Enoteca Umberto has spread the word about who they are and what they do through an organic, hands-on approach, by educating people, by showcasing who they are and by focusing on being brand ambassadors.


Congratulations to the team at Enoteca Umberto for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Umberto, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend Enoteca Umberto in Providence. Visit their website today!
