King Umberto, Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Franklin Square, New York
King Umberto is an Italian restaurant and pizzeria in Franklin Square, with two distinct dining spaces under one roof. The formal dining room with white tablecloths and the separate casual pizzeria section offer different experiences at the same location.
The pizzeria was founded in 1976 and expanded in 1987 by converting the original space into separate sections. This growth created a private dining area for 70 guests while maintaining the casual pizzeria.
The kitchen follows traditional Italian cooking methods and prepares fresh pasta dishes, seafood, and Neapolitan-style pizzas every day. Diners here experience authentic cooking that has remained consistent over time.
The location provides enough space for different dining experiences, from casual pizza dining to formal events. Visitors should know that both sections offer different atmospheres and reservations are possible for both areas.
The restaurant cleverly transformed its original corner location into two separate spaces, with each area maintaining its own character. This spatial solution allows diners to choose between two completely different dining experiences.
