3. Clippings from the web: Will You Get Your Galleria Umberto Fix Before or After Their July Vacation? Friendly reminder! If your routine is to grab some of Galleria Umberto Rosticceria’s food during their short operating hours, make sure to put it up on your priority list these last couple of weeks in June. As usual, come July they will close for the entire month, leaving many locals and visitors to seek alternate lunch plans. Read the full coverage at, Boston Zest.
