THE LEGEND OF MULBERRY STREET RETURNS
Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid...

 

June 29, 2011- In 1972, Umberto Ianniello opened his first restaurant, Umberto's Clam House on Mulberry Street in New York City and operated it for over 35 years. The tradition continues.... Umbertos Clam House opens its doors on 132 Mulberry Street between Grand and Hester... in the heart of Little Italy.

 

Umbertos new menu features their legendary Hot, Medium and Mild sauce which is simmered to perfection for hours just as it was in 1972. Umbertos also offers many new exciting dishes such as: Short Rib Ragu Over Penne, Homemade Bracciole, Spiedini a la Romano and more.

Most recently, Umbertos catered the star studded Hoboken International Film Festival in early June. In May, Chris Hemsworth, star of the hit action movie Thor graced their tables. Umbertos is also proud to partner with the USO in order to serve luxurious luncheons to injured soldiers of war.
