Brothers Tony and Pat Illiano have been operating the Dunedin Umberto's restaurant since the 1970s, but both have been in the restaurant business for 45 years. With the added experience of two sons, their total years of restaurant experience tops 100. The restaurant name specifies "of Long Island" because these two brothers and one other brother first opened their restaurant in Long Island, NY.
The brothers proudly state that they have not raised prices since 2006. They claim they offer true Italian food, made by Italians, served by Italians and the staff even speaks Italian. The restaurant was voted Best of the Bay for seven years in a row and was chosen for the Best Veggie Pizza in Dunedin. One of the brothers humbly states that they make the best pizza in Florida!
